Do you like (to learn about) history?
I love history as it shows us where we come from. People say history always repeats itself and it does. I think it’s important to look back so we can learn from past mistakes and make sure we don't make the same ones as our ancestors did. My favourite time in history would have to be the medieval times.
我喜歡歷史，它讓我們知道自己來自何處。人們說歷史總是重演，是，確實(shí)是這樣的。我認(rèn)為回顧歷史非常重要，這樣我們就可以從過去的錯(cuò)誤中汲取教訓(xùn)，確保不再犯先人們犯過的同樣錯(cuò)誤。我最喜歡的時(shí)代應(yīng)該是中世紀(jì)了。
Do you think history is important?
History is the record of events that have happened in the past. In a sense all developments in politics, government, society, inventions and discoveries are part of human history. History helps you understand yourself better and understand others around you better.
歷史是過往曾發(fā)生事件的記錄。某種意義上講，政治、政府、社會(huì)、發(fā)明和發(fā)現(xiàn)的發(fā)展過程都算是人類歷史的一部分。歷史能幫助你更好了解自己，也更好地了解周圍的人。

Do you think you can learn history from films or TV programs?
No. Unless the film is presented as a documentary, no strict adherence to the historical record is mandated. You go to movies not to learn about history but to be entertained, frightened, thrilled. That’s all great. But there’s no reason that an episode of history has to be done with a certain degree of accuracy, because that’s not the objective of a movie. My view is, if you get your history from movies or TV programs, you get what you deserve.
我不這么認(rèn)為。除非電影是以紀(jì)錄片的形式呈現(xiàn)的。你去電*不是去學(xué)歷史而是去娛樂，享受驚悚，刺激的，這樣很好。沒理由一段歷史一定要以某種程度的準(zhǔn)確度來拍出來，因?yàn)檫@不是電影的目的。我的觀點(diǎn)是：如果你從電影或電視中獲取歷史，那你獲得的就是這種歷史。
Do you think the internet is a good way to learn about history?
There are many excellent resources for the study of history available on the Internet. Keep in mind, however, that not everything published on the Internet is reliable information. We should all be careful and use our common sense when surfing the Internet. Always check the information you learn from online against reliable sources elsewhere.
網(wǎng)絡(luò)上有很多學(xué)習(xí)歷史的優(yōu)秀素材。但記住，并不是網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的所有東西都是可靠資源。我們在網(wǎng)上瀏覽時(shí)要謹(jǐn)慎，具備常識。永遠(yuǎn)要把從網(wǎng)絡(luò)上了解到的信息和其他地方的可靠信息拿來對比。
Does your country have a long history?
With more than 4,000 years of recorded history, China is one of the few existing countries that also flourished economically and culturally in the earliest stages of world civilisation.
中國有著有跡可循的超過4000年的歷史，是世界文明早期階段就展現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟(jì)文化繁榮的現(xiàn)存的幾個(gè)國家之一。
