And it's interesting, if you think about it, how, when we think about the civilizations that we look up to as having been pinnacles of human achievement -- whether it's China, Greece, the Hindu civilization, or the Mayas, or Egyptians -- what we know about them is really about their ecstasies, not about their everyday life.
有趣的是 当我们想起 那些被公认为人类文明之巅峰的文明时 不管是在中国、希腊或者是印度 或玛雅、或埃及 我们所听说的 都是关于他们的狂喜的故事 而不是他们日常生活的琐事
