, "Peace is something very dear. If you've been through
和行动和战斗,你想要和平”触及了人类历史上最持久的矛盾之一:人们常常理解
most deeply after experiencing the consequences of conflict.跨越几代人、跨越各大洲,战争重塑了国家、离散了家庭、摧毁了社区,并留下了在战争结束后仍持续很久的记忆。 Against that background, the desire for peace is not simply a political slogan. For millions of people, it represents safety, stability, dignity, and the possibility of rebuilding ordinary lives.
Peace is sometimes discussed as though it means nothing more than the absence of war.事实上,持久和平要复杂得多。它需要人们能够生活在没有持续恐惧的环境中,儿童能够安全上学,家庭能够为未来做计划,社区能够重建被暴力破坏的机构。停火可能会立即停止战斗,但可持续和平往往取决于对话、安全、政治协议、经济机会以及解决导致冲突的不满情绪的意愿。
The experience of war can dramatically change the way people understand everyday life.通常被认为是理所当然的简单活动——穿过社区、上班、拜访亲戚或听孩子们在外面玩耍——当暴力威胁到他们时,就会变得非常有意义。对于经历过长期冲突的人们来说,和平代表着日常生活的回归。这意味着醒来时不会怀疑是否有另一次袭击即将来临。 It means families being able to make plans without constantly preparing for disruption.
