记忆是件奇怪的事。它的运作方式和我以为的不同。我们不是在回忆,而是在重写记忆,就像历史被重写一样。回忆就是重塑,就是重新想象。
"Memory is a strange thing. It doesn’t work like I thought it did. We don’t remember, we rewrite memory much as history is rewritten. To remember is to remake, to reimagine."
释义:将煮沸的热水扬起以停止其沸腾,不如抽掉下面的木材。处理任何问题时,与其用凑合的办法应付,不如从根本上彻底解决。
We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children—this is especially true in forestry.
