Generally war is repugnant but peace is welcome. While peace is the ultimate goal of all of our undertaking in this world war has been inevitable in the course of human civilization. Does man have an innate taste for war? Or is it just an acquired scheme learned from human society? We only know that there hasn't been any period in the history during which the world was really at peace. Human beings pursue peace and prosperity through the establishment of families communities and nations. Why should we let all these be destroyed by wars?

To reduce the possibility of war to the lowest extent I have two suggestions. First of all education should be consolidated to eliminate the brutality and beastliness in human nature. Knowledge derives from education and is a surer road to wisdom. Wisdom enables us to distinguish right from wrong. I also teaches us restraint and tolerance two effective means of preventing wayward killing and destruction. Another cure is religion. Most religions in the world advocate philanthropism and forgiveness which dissolve hatred and revenge. Consequently education and religion working side by side can transform a barbarian into a civilized person. With wisdom and love the human race as a whole will detest war and embrace peace.

一般而言，戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)令人憎惡而和平受人歡迎，雖然和平是我們?cè)谑澜缟弦磺凶鳛榈慕K極目標(biāo)，戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)在人類(lèi)文明的過(guò)程中，始終無(wú)法避免。人類(lèi)是天生喜好戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，還是后天在人類(lèi)社會(huì)中習(xí)得技倆？我們只知道，在歷史上從來(lái)沒(méi)有一段時(shí)期世界是真正處于和平狀態(tài)。人類(lèi)透過(guò)家庭、社會(huì)，以及國(guó)家的建構(gòu)來(lái)追求和平與繁榮，又怎么能讓這一切被戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)所摧毀呢？

Generally speaking, war is abhorrent and peace is popular. Although peace is the ultimate goal of all our actions in the world, war can never be avoided in the process of human civilization. Are humans born to love war, or do they acquire skills in human society the day after tomorrow? We only know that there has never been a period in history when the world is truly at peace. How can human beings pursue peace and prosperity through the construction of family, society and country, and let all of them be destroyed by war?

要將戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的可能性降至最低程度，個(gè)人有兩點(diǎn)建議。首先，必須落實(shí)教育，以去除人性中的殘酷與獸性；知識(shí)源于教育，同時(shí)也是通往智能較穩(wěn)當(dāng)?shù)囊粭l路。智能使人明辨是非，亦教導(dǎo)人自制與容忍，自制與容忍乃防止任意殺戮和破壞的兩條有效途徑。另一帖良方是宗教；世界上大部分的宗教主張博愛(ài)與寬恕，而博愛(ài)與寬恕可化解仇恨和報(bào)復(fù)。因此，教育和宗教相輔相成，能夠?qū)⒁靶U人蛻變?yōu)槲拿魅恕Ｓ辛酥悄芎蛺?ài)，全體人類(lèi)定當(dāng)厭惡戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、擁抱和平。

To minimize the possibility of war, I have two suggestions. First of all, education must be implemented to remove the cruelty and brutality in human nature; knowledge comes from education, and it is also a path to a more stable intelligence. Intelligence can distinguish right from wrong, and also teach self-control and tolerance. Self-control and tolerance are two effective ways to prevent arbitrary killing and destruction. Another good recipe is religion; most religions in the world advocate fraternity and forgiveness, which can dissolve hatred and revenge. Therefore, education and religion complement each other and can transform barbarians into civilized people. With intelligence and love, all human beings must hate war and embrace peace.
