If one tries to think about history, it seems to me - it's like looking at a range of mountains. And the first time you see them, they look one way. But then time changes, the pattern of light shifts. Maybe you've moved slightly, your perspective has changed. The mountains are the same, but they look very different.

如果一个人试图思考历史,在我看来,这就像在看山脉。当你第一次看到它们的时候,它们会朝一个方向看。但随着时间的推移,光的模式也发生了变化。也许你已经稍微移动了一下,你的视角已经改变了。山是一样的,但是它们看起来很不一样。
