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.
有句惱人的俗諺這樣說:「對歷史一無所知的人,終將宿命式地重蹈那些過錯。」但這句話隱含的意思是,歷史總是充滿錯誤。比較公允的說法是,「那些對歷史一無所知的人,無法改善現況。」
