A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
和平
Peace
I'm at peace with myself and where I am. In the past, I was always looking to see how everybody else was doing. I wasn't competitive, I was comparative. I just wanted to be where everybody else was. Now I've gotten to an age when I am not comparing anymore.
我对自己和我所处的地方都很平静。在过去,我总是观察别人的表现。我没有竞争力,我只是比较。我只想和其他人一样。现在我已经到了不再攀比的年龄。
Fortunately, the war has brought with it not alone a stark realization of what another war would mean to the world, but as well the creation of an international agency through which the nations of the world can, if they so desire, make peace a living reality.
幸运的是,随着战争而来的不仅是对另一场战争对世界将意味着什么的明确认识,而且还建立了一个国际机构,如果世界各国希望通过该机构使和平成为现实。
You ask me if I will not be glad when the last battle is fought, so far as the country is concerned I, of course, must wish for peace, and will be glad when the war is ended, but if I answer for myself alone, I must say that I shall regret to see the war end.
你问我如果我不高兴当最后的战场,就全国而言,我到目前为止,当然,肯定希望和平,战争结束时,会很高兴,但如果我回答是为我自己,我必须说,我很遗憾地看到战争的结束。
When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith.
当与你内心深处的信念背道而驰的原则开始赢得胜利的那一天,那么战斗就是你的使命,和平已成为罪恶。你必须以最宝贵的和平为代价,用你全部的信心之火,把你的信念暴露在朋友和敌人面前。
Rwanda was considered a second-class operation; because it was a small country, we had been able to maintain a kind of status quo. They were negotiating, they'd accepted the new peace project, so we were under the impression that everything would be solved easily.

The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.
和平宣传的方法旨在通过辩论建立和平学说,并在一般情况下创造一种有利于和平的感觉,但这些方法似乎没有达到人类行动的源泉,也没有处理他们试图改变的行为的原因。
Looking back, there is nothing wrong with that peace, love and equality that the hippies espoused. In many ways, we have regressed because they were into organic food, back to nature, make love not war, be good to all men, share and share alike - which is what many are talking about now.
回首过去,嬉皮士所崇尚的和平、爱和平等并没有错。在很多方面,我们已经退步了,因为他们变成了有机食品,回归自然,让爱而不是战争,对所有的人都好,分享和分享一样——这是许多人现在谈论的。
