把这一句，留给此刻的你

I am very glad that I see Rome while it yet exists; before a great number of years are elapsed, I question whether it will be worth seeing. Between the ignorance and poverty of the present Romans, every thing is neglected and falling to decay.

我很高兴看到罗马还存在的时候;在许多年过去之前，我怀疑它是否值得一看。在当代罗马人的无知和贫穷之间，每一件事都被忽视和堕落。

— Horace Walpole 霍勒斯·沃波尔
