Reciprocity can be complex, but an evolutionary perspective has cleared the path to understanding, just the same way it did in the case of blood kinship and altruism.

互惠行为可能非常复杂，但从进化的角度理解扫清了一切障碍。建立在互惠行为基础上的利他主义与建立在血缘关系基础上的利他主义并没有多少区别。

Abdullah, perhaps earlier than most others, understood that some code of restraint was needed if the entire region was not to descend into a war of all against all.

阿卜杜拉可能比大多数其他人更早地理解，为了不让整个中东地区陷于混战，就需要有某种限制准则。
