一般来说,我不认为世纪之交或者千年之交对人类历史有什么特殊意义,因为我不相信耶稣的生日会对人类历史形成每一百年或一千年的周期或阶梯。但是当我们现在正要走出20世纪而进入21世纪的时候,世界形势却确实表现出急剧变动的症候。我们只知道其广度与深度都是前所未有的,却不知道用什么样的概念和理论来描述和把握它。可 Generally speaking, I do not think that the turn of the century or the turn of the millennium has any special significance to human history because I do not believe that Jesus’ birthday will form a cycle or staircase every hundred or 1000 years in human history.

We only know that its breadth and depth are unprecedented, but do not know what kind of concept and theory to describe and grasp it. can
