留美老師帶你每日說英文 第670期:正確看待歷史

臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是：

There's an annoying saying that goes: THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT. But that's suggesting the only thing history is full of is mistakes. Yet it's as fair to say, those who don't know history won't be able to IMPROVE the present.
有一句讓人反感的俗語說道：“對歷史一無所知的人註定會重蹈覆轍。”但這句話的言下之意是，歷史充滿了錯誤。而比較公正的說法是，“那些對歷史一無所知的人，將無法改善現況。”
