　　人們對時間的關(guān)注來源于他們與時間的特殊關(guān)系。所有的動物都隨著時間的改變而改變，但是只有人類可以駕馭時間。

　　7) It can be argued that momeny and foresightedness are the essence of intelligence;that man’s ability to manupulate time,to employ both past and future as guides to present action,is what makes him human.

　　可以證明的是,記憶力和預(yù)見能力是智力的重要部分,人類之所以是人類就在于他具有駕馭時間的能力,他能用過去和將來指導(dǎo)當(dāng)前的行為.]
