Obviously the facts are never just coming at you but are incorporated by an imagination that is formed by your previous experience. Memories of the past are not memories of facts but memories of your imaginings of the facts.
很明显，事实并不是突然出现在你面前的，而是由你之前的经历所形成的想象所组成的。过去的记忆不是事实的记忆，而是你对事实的想象的记忆。

没有记录的过去正是我们的老朋友，那棵原始森林里的树，它无声无息地倒下了。
