The higher animals engage in individual fights, but never in organized masses. Man is the only one that deals in the atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only animal that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and with calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out, as the Hessians did in our Revolution, and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.

高级动物进行个体争斗,但从不组织大规模战斗。人是唯一从事战争这一残暴至 极的行为的动物,他是唯一能把同胞聚集在周围,残忍地发动战争,平静地消灭其同类的动物。人是唯一能为了肮脏的军饷出发征战的动物,就像黑森雇佣兵在我国独立战争中那样,助纣为虐,屠杀那些素不相识、未曾伤害过他、也没有与他发生过争执的同类。
Man is the only animal that robs his helpless fellow of his country—takes possession of it and drives him out of it or destroys him. Man has done this in all the ages. There is not an acre of ground on the globe that is in possession of its rightful owner, or that has not been taken away from owner after owner, cycle after cycle, by force and bloodshed.
人是唯一抢掠无助同类的国家的动物——侵占同类的土地,把他们赶走,或者除掉。从古至今人一直在这样做。地球上没有哪一英亩土地归属于它真正的合法拥有者,无不是被用武力和杀戮从一个又一个拥有者手里夺走,一次又一次轮换着主人。
