Unit 7 The World At War

The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the five Nobel Prizes created by the Swedish industrialist, inventor, and armaments manufacturer Alfred Nobel, along with the prizes in Chemistry, Physics, Physiology or Medicine, and Literature. Since 1901, it has been awarded annually (with some exceptions) to those who have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses". The prize has been awarded to individuals like Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as institutions like the International Committee of the Red Cross. The Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee presents the Nobel Peace Prize in the presence of the King of Norway on 10 December each year (the anniversary of Nobel's death).

诺贝尔和平奖是瑞典实业家、发明家、军火制造商阿尔弗雷德•诺贝尔设立的五个诺贝尔奖项之一，其他奖项包括诺贝尔化学奖、物理学奖、生理学或医学奖和文学奖。自1901年以来，诺贝尔和平奖每年（特例除外）都颁发给那些“为促进民族团结友好、 取消或裁减常备军队以及为和平会议的组织和宣传尽到最大努力或作出最大贡献的人”。诺贝尔和平奖既颁发给像马丁•路德•金这样的个人，也颁发给像国际红十字委员会这样的机构。每年12月10日（即诺贝尔的忌日），挪威诺贝尔奖委员会的主席在挪威国王的见证下颁发诺贝尔和平奖。

“和”的观念在中国文化中占有重要位置。儒家思想主张“和为贵”，认为人们可以通过完善道德修养把事情处理得恰到好处，营造和谐的社会关系。不仅儒家，佛、道、墨诸家，也大都主张人与人之间、族群与族群之间的“和”。中国人为人处事向来以和为贵，他们知道和睦的人际关系与和谐的社会环境对于人的生存和发展至关重要。在构建和谐社会的今天，“和” 的思想显得更为重要。

"Harmony" is one of the most cherished values in Chinese culture. Confucianism advocates the idea that "Harmony is most precious", believing that with their ethical attainments people can handle affairs properly and create harmonious social relationships. Buddhism, Taoism and Mohism, as well as Confucianism, all advocate a harmonious relationship between people and between ethnic groups. Chinese people have always given priority to a harmonious relation in dealing with people in everyday life, as they know that a harmonious human relationship and society is of vital importance to human survival and development. Today when we're constructing a harmonious society, the idea of harmony has become even more important.
