历史是一张由故事、观点和谜团交织成的网。真相被掩盖于杂乱的网中。我们是蜘蛛,在网上爬来爬去,寻找可以形成自己观点的事实,可是却发现它们被淹没在千丝万缕纠缠不清的网中。因此,我以前觉得历史是很乏味的。我发现的观点对我并无吸引力,反而使我远离了历史。但今年发生的两件事完全改变了我对历史的看法。第一件是9·11事件,另一件是我的第一份研究报告。 9月11日,我从汽车站跑回家,急切地想知道发生了什么。在车上的时候,那些七八年级的学生在小声谈论着关于飞机坠毁的事,但他们不愿告诉我们六年级的学生发生了什么。在学校里,不像他们七八年级的学生,没人告诉我们这些六年 History is a web of stories, ideas, and mysteries. The truth is hidden in the messy network. We are spiders, crawling up and down the Internet to find facts that can form our own views, but we find that they are submerged in a tangled web of intricacies. Therefore, I used to think that history is very boring. The ideas I found were not attractive to me. Instead, they kept me away from history. But two things that happened this year completely changed my view of history. The first was the September 11 incident and the other was my first research report. On September 11, I ran home from the bus station and was eager to know what happened. While in the car, those students in the 7th and 8th grades whispered about the crash, but they didn’t want to tell us what happened to students in sixth grade. In school, unlike their grade seven or eight students, no one told us these six years.
