决斗这种事数百年来一直都发生着。有人诽谤,破坏他人人格与名誉后,受害方会向对手提出挑战,要用剑或者手枪与其决斗。但是,在安排决斗日期之前,两人往往通过第三方尝试和解以便消除分歧。典型的情况是,加害方承认做错了事(比如他的评论不符合事实)但并不承认他有恶意,于是最后决斗取消。虽然如此,仍有数千人死于决斗,因为它长期以来被认为是捍卫名声和荣誉的文明方式。 Dueling this kind of thing has been happening for hundreds of years. Some people slander, undermine the personality and reputation of others, the victim will challenge the opponent, to be duel with a sword or a pistol. However, prior to the date of the duel, both parties often tried to settle through third parties in order to eliminate their differences. Typically, the adulter conceded that something was wrong (for example, his commentary was not true) but did not admit that he was malicious, so the final duel was canceled. Nevertheless, thousands are still dueling because it has long been considered a civilized way of defending their reputation and honor.
