大千世界:世界十大最和平国度（中）

7. Ireland

7.爱尔兰

Although Ireland is a serene place in general, it was placed in the 7th rank for its political imbalance, which was experienced back in 2011. In fact, there have been protests and discord at the turn of the new leadership, where both economical and political spheres have been compromised. However, as the new government welcomed change together with its subjects, political unrest has ceased and everyone joined together, hoping for improvement and change for the better. Demonstrations have decreased, violence was kept down, and the trust of the people with each other has strengthened. Despite of such problems, Ireland did not see the need of increasing its military power, which even cut costs amounting to $147 million in over 3 years.

一般来说，爱尔兰是个宁静的地方，但其如2011年那样失衡的政治使其仅位第七。其实，在领导换届时，它的经济和政治局面就在抗议和冲突中暴露无遗。但是，新政府鼓动全民一齐革新，政治暴动便有所消停，全国一片同歌，致力将未来打造得更加美好。游行少了，暴力活动消停了，人与人之间的信任也加强了。尽管有这样的问题，爱尔兰不但没有增强军事力量的需要，反而在三年内削减了1亿4千7百万的军事开销。

6. Austria

6.奥地利

Famous in history as being the “cradle of the civilization of music”, Austria gives a perfect sense of what it is like to live in harmony with the society and the government. There are rarely events of chaos in the country, which is why their police force is kept to a tolerable few. Even though there have been news that the numbers have increased, the figures are still taken to be the smallest in the world. Even the society does not feel troubled as safety and security is not too stiff, knowing that crime rates are noted to be one of the lowest everywhere.

作为历史上著名的“音乐文明摇篮”，奥地利给出了什么是和谐社会，和谐政府的景象。因为这个国家几乎没有暴乱事件，需要的警力也就维持得相当少。尽管有报导指出其警员增多了，但其数量仍然位于全球之末。社会并未对如此不牢固的安全保护感到担忧，因为他们知道这里每一处的犯罪率都极其低。

5. Japan

5.日本

Although Japan has a history of being one of the perpetrators in the last World War, it does not that they ended up as chaos-loving people. In fact, they have done many things in the world in order to make it a better place, particularly in establishing ties with the rest of the nations through harnessing the power of technology. Their people are also known for being disciplined, industrious, courteous, and generally happy, which makes the Land of the Rising Sun a perfect place to stay, and easy to adapt to. However, they did not end in the top 3 due to issues of increasing their military power as provoked by nearby countries like North Korea and China, which has a past of being dictators and conquerors.

作为二战史上的侵略者，日本并不打算以好战的形象闭上帷幕。事实上，日本人做出许多努力让国家变得更好，尤其是他们会利用科技力量来与其他国家建立关系。日本人也是出了名地自律，勤劳，有礼节，乐观，优良传统让这个“日出之国”成了理想的居住之地，也很容易让人适应。然而，它未能进入三甲之列是因为其作为过去的独裁侵略者而被周边国家，例如朝鲜和中国所激起的强化军事力量行为。
