“History is the memory of things said and done.”
—Carl Becker Carl
2。歷史是什麽：是過去傳到將來的回聲，是將來對過去的反映。
What is history? An echo of the past in the future; a reflex from the future on the past.
——Victor Hugo
3.歷史不僅是知識中很有價值的壹部分，而且還打開了通向其他許多部分的門徑，並為許多科學領域提供了材料。
(I must add, )that history is not only a valuable part of knowledge, but opens the door to many other parts, and affords materials to most of the sciences.
--------------[Of The Study Of History] by David Hume
4.歷史總是為生活服務的，它提供範例，評價過去，或者把目前這個時刻安放到生成——演變中去。這個好難找啊，會不會沒有英文原句呢？會不會只有法文版的？再找找看。。。 暫人工翻譯：
History always serves us in life by providing precedents, offering judgements on the past, and locating the present in generation and evolution.
