We can take some gratification at having come a certain distance in just a few thousand years of our existence as language users, but it should be a deeper satisfaction, even an exhilaration, to recognize that we have such a distance still to go.

  • -- Lewis Thomas 路易斯·汤马斯

作为语言使用者，我们在短短几千年的时间里走到了一定的距离，我们可以从中得到一些满足，但认识到我们还有这么一段距离要走，应该是一种更深层次的满足，甚至是一种兴奋。
