Contemporary Koreans or Japanese remain fully Korean or Japanese but are closer to a Westerner than they would be to their own ancestors. Similarly, a modern Egyptian or a modern Saudi will be more on par with a French or an American than they would be with an ancient Arab.
这并不让这些国家不那么亚洲化。当代的韩国人和日本人还依旧完全是韩国人和日本人但是要比祖先相比更加靠近西方。同样，现代埃及人或者沙特人比古代阿拉伯人更加接近法国人或者美国人。
