Our heroes are human heroes. That's a very new situation. Most other societies have had, right at their center, the worship of something transcendent: a god, a spirit, a natural force, the universe, whatever it is -- something else that is being worshiped. We've slightly lost the habit of doing that, which is, I think, why we're particularly drawn to nature.
我们的英雄是人类,这是一个崭新的情况。历史中大部分的社会重心都是敬拜一位人类以外的灵体,神,自然力、宇宙,总之是人类以外的什么。我们逐渐失去了这种习惯,我想这也是我们越来越被大自然吸引的原因。
