留美老师带你每天说英文 第670期:正确看待历史

台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

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.
有一句让人反感的俗语说道：“对历史一无所知的人注定会重蹈覆辙。”但这句话的言下之意是，历史充满了错误。而比较公正的说法是，“那些对历史一无所知的人，将无法改善现况。”
