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。 It 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 philanthropy 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。

戰(zhàn)爭與和平

War and Peace

一般而言，戰(zhàn)爭令人憎惡而和平受人歡迎，雖然和平是人類世界上一切作為的最終目標，但戰(zhàn)爭在人類文明的過程中，始終無法避免。戰(zhàn)爭是人類天生的喜好，還是人類后天在社會中習得的伎倆?我們只知道，在歷史上從來沒有一段時期世界是真正處于和平狀態(tài)。人類通過家庭、社會以及國家的構建來追求和平與繁榮，又怎么能讓戰(zhàn)爭摧毀這

Generally speaking, war is abhorrent and peace is popular. Although peace is the ultimate goal of all actions in the human world, war can never be avoided in the process of human civilization. Is war a natural preference of human beings or a trick acquired by human beings in society? We only know that there has never been a period in history when the world is really at peace. How can war destroy peace and prosperity through the construction of family, society and country

一切呢?

Everything?

要將戰(zhàn)爭的可能性降至最低程度，我有兩點建議：首先，必須落實教育，以去除人性中的殘酷與獸性；知識源于教育，同時也是通往智慧較穩(wěn)當?shù)囊粭l路。智慧使我們明辨是非，同時也教導我們自制與容忍。

To minimize the possibility of war, I have two suggestions: first of all, education must be implemented to remove the cruelty and brutality of human nature; knowledge comes from education, and it is also a path to a more stable wisdom. Wisdom enables us to distinguish right from wrong, but also teaches us self-control and tolerance.

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與寬恕，而博愛與寬恕可化解仇恨和報復。因此，教育和宗教相輔相成，能夠?qū)⒁靶U人轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)槲拿魅?。有了智慧和愛，全體人類定當厭惡戰(zhàn)爭、擁抱和平。

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 resolve hatred and revenge. Therefore, education and religion complement each other and can transform barbarians into civilized people. With wisdom and love, all mankind must hate war and embrace peace.
