A lot of the changes are so gradual that they don't even qualify as news, or even as interesting: they're so mundane that we just take them for granted. But history shows that it's the mundane changes that are more important than the dramatic 'newsworthy' events.

  • -- Robert D. Kaplan 卡普兰

很多变化都是循序渐进的,它们甚至不算是新闻,甚至不像新闻那么有趣:它们是如此平凡,以至于我们把它们视为理所当然。但历史表明,平凡的变化比戏剧性的“新闻价值”事件更重要。
