L: If you think the conflict can not be resolved, then let it be. If you and someone else can't get along, then simply speak only when necessary, and only on topics that you need to speak about. So I think the best and easiest way to deal with conflict is simply to walk away from it. Walking away not only allows both parties time to think but it allows tempers to cool down as well. And what’s you opinion about it?
C: In my view, we should know that not all the conflict is bad, and figure out how to differentiate good conflict from bad conflict. We can handle it in a healthy way by talking it out and coming to a mutual decision instead of complaining about. Sometimes the change of thought is very important when getting along with others.
杰克: What do you think are the main causes of war today?
你认为如今引起战争的主要原因有哪些?
凯西: I`d say the main reason is poverty. Countries and their people get frustrated because they have so little. If their neighbors have some resources, they try to steal them by military force.
我得说主要是贫穷。一个国家和她的人民变得好战是因为他们拥有的少。如果他们看
见他们的邻居有资源的话，他们就会想要用武力去偷去抢。
杰克: It seems that a lot of wars nowadays are really civil wars. People from different ethnic groups in the same country sometimes fight for power in that country.
看起来许多现在战争都是国内战争，来自同一个国家的不同民族的人们有些时候会为了国家的政权而开战。
凯西: Several of those civil wars have been going on for years and years. It seems they will never end.
一些这样的内战已经一直持续了好多年。感觉永远都打不完。
杰克: How do you think they could be ended?
你觉得怎么样才能让他们停下来?
凯西: I don`t think that there is any easy way. The united nations could send peacekeepers into the country. At least then the warring parties could be forced to negotiate.
我不认为有什么简单的方法能让他们停下来。美国派驻了维和部队到这些国家.至少能让战斗的双方被迫停下来和谈。
杰克: So, if the cause is poverty, there should be a programe to make the
country richer. If the problem is resources, share them.
那么如果原因是贫穷，应该制定一个长期计划让国家变得富裕起来。如果是资源问题.那分享不久行了嘛。
凯西: It sounds easy when you say it like that. In reality, it`s harder to make peace between countries.
你说起来倒是容易。现实中要实现国家之前的和平时很困难的。
杰克: Yes. It is. One way to stop countries fighting is to cut off their financial support. Wars are very expensive.
是的。确实是。一个制止战争的方法就是切断战争国家的经济支援。战争是需要很多钱的。

A: what do you think will happen?
B: both countries are very poor. Soon they will run out of money to finance the war. Then, perhaps, they will negotiate. The thing is to find the real problem for the war and solve that.
A; it would be much simpler and cheaper if they negotiated first.

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，战争令人憎恶而和平受人欢迎，虽然和平是吾人在世界上一切作为的终极目标，战争在人类文明的过程中，始终无法避免。人类是天生喜好战争，还是后天在人类社会中习得技俩?我们只知道，在历史上从来没有一段时期世界是真正处于和平状态。人类透过家庭、社会，以及国家的建构来追求和平与繁荣，又怎么能让这一切被战争所摧毁呢?
要将战争的可能性降至最低程度，个人有两点建议。首先，必须落实教育，以去除人性中的残酷与兽性;知识源于教育，同时也是通往智能较稳当的一条路。智能使吾人明辨是非，亦教导吾人自制与容忍，自制与容忍乃防止任意杀戮和破坏的两条有效途径。另一帖
良方是宗教;世界上大部分的宗教主张博爱与宽恕，而博爱与宽恕可化解仇恨和报复。因此，教育和宗教相辅相成，能够将野蛮人蜕变为文明人。有了智能和爱，全体人类定当厌恶战争、拥抱和平。
