参考翻译：

举例来说，相信攻击性行为是必需的和正义的人——比如在战争时期——更倾向于表现得有攻击性，而那些相信一场特定的战争或攻击性行径是不正义的，抑或相信攻击性行为绝非正义之举的人则更少地会表现出攻击性。

知识点小结：

1．在这句话的分析过程中，首先要注意到“whereas”，可理解为“in contrast or comparison with the fact that”，中文意思是“然而；却”。

2．以“whereas”为分割：看到中间部分“...whereas people...”就应该知道本部分应该和前面的“for example, people...”相对应。

3．以“who”为分割：看到末尾处的“...or who think that aggression...”就应该知道本部分应该对应“...who believe that a particular...”。

4．本次翻译一共讲了两大类人（用“whereas”进行分割），第二类又分为两个小类（用“or”进行分割）。

参考翻译：

Some people like concentrating on one project at a time, believing that this practice would be more efficient and would achieve better results; whereas others think that doing several projects at the same time enables them to make full use of their time, making it possible for them to finish more projects within the same amount of time.
