问题    We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or ploughed the field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest ill s in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, hut they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized.
选项
答案 我们不晓得是谁接好了第一条断腿，又是谁使第一艘船舶下海，也不晓得是谁最早算出了一年的时间之长，又是谁最先学会在田地里种地，但是我们对那些杀戮者和破坏者却熟悉得很。人们认为他们了不起，甚至在全世界各大城市里所有最高的石柱上都能看到征服者、将军或军人的雕像。而我则认为，多数人以为那些在战争中打败过最多的国家，且以征服者的地位统治这些国家的国家是最伟大的。很可能它们是伟大的，但它们却并非是最文明的国家。动物互相格斗，野蛮人也互相厮杀。所以善于打仗也只是擅长于动物或野蛮人之所长，而这并不算是文明。
