xiàn dài现代shè huì社会yǒu有hěn很duō多dēng灯,kě yǐ可以zhào liàng照亮chéng shì城市,kě shì可是rén men人们de的liáng xīn良心bù不yí dìng一定gèng更míng liàng明亮。

Modern society has many lights that can brighten the city, but people’s consciences are not necessarily brighter.

xiàn zài现在de的shì jiè世界yě也bú shì不是yì zhí一直zǒu xiàng走向měi hǎo美好,hěn duō很多dì fāng地方hái yǒu还有zhàn zhēng战争hé和tòng kǔ痛苦,bǐ rú比如wū kè lán乌克兰、jiā shā加沙hé和fēi zhōu非洲yī xiē一些dì qū地区。

The world today is not always moving toward a better future; many places still have war and suffering, such as Ukraine, Gaza, and some parts of Africa.

rén men人们cháng cháng常常shuō说hé píng和平、zhèng yì正义、zì yóu自由zhè xiē这些hǎo tīng好听de的huà话,kě shì可是zuò fǎ做法què却bù不yī yàng一样。

People often speak of nice-sounding words like peace, justice, and freedom, but their actions are different.

yǒu xiē有些rén人de的tòng kǔ痛苦huì会bèi被dà jiā大家kàn jiàn看见,yǒu xiē有些rén人de的tòng kǔ痛苦què却hěn很shǎo少bèi被zhù yì注意。

Some people’s suffering is seen by everyone, while other people’s suffering is noticed very little.

hěn很duō多zhàn zhēng战争yě也gào sù告诉wǒ men我们,zhǐ只huì会shuō说piào liàng漂亮de的huà话bù gòu不够,zhēn zhèng真正zhòng yào重要de的shì是zī yuán资源、lì liàng力量、hé zuò合作hé和cháng jiǔ长久jiān chí坚持。

Many wars also teach us that it is not enough to only say beautiful words; what truly matters is resources, power, cooperation, and long-term persistence.

shì jiè世界bú shì不是jiǎn dān简单de的hǎo rén好人duì对huài rén坏人,ér shì而是hěn很duō多guó jiā国家hé和rén mín人民dōu都zài在yā lì压力zhōng中shēng huó生活。

The world is not simply good people versus bad people; rather, many countries and peoples are living under pressure.

yào要jiǎn shǎo减少zhàn zhēng战争,bù néng不能zhǐ只hǎn喊kǒu hào口号,hái还yào要liǎo jiě了解shuǐ水、liáng shí粮食、néng yuán能源、biān jiè边界hé和lì shǐ历史wèn tí问题。

To reduce war, we cannot just shout slogans; we also need to understand water, food, energy, borders, and historical issues.

zhǐ yǒu只有zhè yàng这样,rén men人们cái才kě néng可能zhǎo dào找到zhēn zhèng真正de的fāng xiàng方向,bù zài不再zài在mí shī迷失líng hún灵魂de的xiǎo xiàng小巷lǐ里yì zhí一直dǎ zhuàn打转。

Only then may people find the true direction and stop wandering around forever in the alley of lost souls.
