So with truth - there is a certain moment when one can say, this is the truth and here I put a dot, a stop, and I go to another thing. A judge has to put an end to a deliberation. But for a historian, there's never an end to the past. It can go on and on and on.
所以对于真理，在某一时刻，有人会说，这就是真理，我在这里加上一个点，一个句号，然后我去做另一件事。法官必须结束审议。但对于历史学家来说，过去永远不会结束。它可以一直持续下去。
