解释：
In the United States, military service (or the time spent working in the army) is voluntary (or optional and something that one chooses to do). Under normal conditions, no one has to serve in the army if he or she doesn’t want to. However, all men between the ages of 18 and 26 must register (or sign up for) the Selective Service, which is a part of the U.S. government that tries to find enough people to fight in a war or other national emergency (or a major problem that was not expected).
在美国部队服役是自愿的。在正常情况下，如果不想服役就可以不用去，但是所有在18到26之间的青年必须注册选择服务，这是美国政府为在战争或其他国家紧急情况时准备足够兵力的策略。
The Selective Service keeps a list of names of all the men who are registered for the Selective Service. If there is a war or another national emergency, the Selective Service will have a draft, which means that names are chosen at random (or with all of the names having an equal chance of being selected) to find out who will fight. We say that the people whose names are picked have been drafted for the war.
选择服务的名单有所有注册选择服务的人员名字。如果发生战争或其他国家紧急事件，就会从选择服务名单里选派，即名字随机抽取（所有名字被抽到的几率是相同的）参加战争的人员。我们说被选中的人被选派区参加战争。
In a war or national emergency, men who are drafted go through several tests that determine whether or not they are ready to fight for their country. Those who pass the tests then must serve in the army. Those who don’t pass the tests can go back home.
在战争或国家紧急事件时，被选中的青年需要经过好几轮考验决定其是否能准备好参战。通过测验的人必须服役部队，未通过测验的人就可以回家了。
Some people do not want to fight because they believe that war is wrong, often because of their religious beliefs. These people are called conscientious objectors. Conscientious objectors must also register for the Selective Service. The Selective Service creates an Alternative Service Program for those conscientious objectors so that they will do good work to help communities in the United States while other men are drafted for war.
有些人不想参战因为他们觉得战争是不对的，通常都是因为他们的信仰。这些人被称为拒服兵役者。拒服兵役者也必须注册选择服务。选择服务为为拒服兵役者创建了一个备选服务项目，这样他们可以在其他人去参战时通过帮助美国社区做贡献。
Registration with the Selective Service is required by law. Young men who do not register with the Selective Service have a lot of problems. For example, they cannot apply for federal jobs (or jobs in the national government) or get federal scholarships, which is money given to students to help pay for their education.Also, people from other countries cannot become U.S. citizens unless they register for the Selective Service.
注册选择服务是法律规定的。不注册选择服务的年轻人会遇到很多问题，如他们不能申请联邦工作（或国家政府部门的工作）或拿到国家奖学金，奖学金是给学生支付教育费用的钱。其他国家的人要成为美国公民也必须注册选择服务。
