If you want to analyze a society, it is not enough to rely on theory. Apart from understanding its historical culture and referring to and making comparisons with the experiences of other cultures, you must still make actual contact, look at how people think and understand how that society works.
要分析一個社會，依靠理論是不夠的，除瞭解它的歷史文化，參照比較其他社會的經驗外，還要實際接觸，看人怎麼想，理解那個社會怎麼運作。
