我的历史课 （版本一）
我喜欢讲的历史很多
从古希腊罗马
到文艺复兴
从宗教改革
到启蒙运动
从大航海
到全球贸易
我最喜欢讲的历史片段
只有一个
1787年
费城的一栋小楼
一帮人关起门窗
整整吵了四个月的群架
最后达成妥协
出来后
他们说
We the People...
My History Class （Version one)
I like to teach history
From ancient Greece and Rome
To the Renaissance
From the Lutheran Reformation
To the Enlightenment
From the Age of Discovery
To the the Age of Globalization
There is only one historical scene
I prefer to teach
In 1787
A small building in Philadelphia
A group of people got together
They closed the doors and windows
They had been quarreling bitterly for four months
Finally, they reached an agreement with compromises
When they came out
They said
We the People...

从但丁的地狱天堂
到佛罗伦萨的百花大教堂
从路德的 九十五条
到孟德斯鸠 论法的精神
从哥伦布的扬帆

我最喜欢讲的历史片段
只有一个
1787年
费城的一栋小楼
一帮人关起门窗
整整吵了 四个月的群架
这四个月 吵得空气凝固
这四个月 吵得舌头也受了伤
终于 这帮人彼此妥协
低头签字
出来后
他们说
We the People...
My History Class (Version Two)
I like to teach history
From Greek assembly to
Roman senate and the Twelve Tables
From Dante’ hell and paradise
To Florence Cathedral
From the Ninety-Five Theses
To On the Spirit of Law
From Columbus set sails
To the colonies of the sun-never-set empire
There is only one historical scene
I prefer to teach
In 1787
A small building in Philadelphia
A group of people got together
They closed the doors and windows
They had been quarreling bitterly for four months
In these four months
The quarreling had made the air frozen
The quarreling had made the tongues hurt
Finally they compromised with each other
They bowed down and signed their name
When they came out
They said
We the People...
