how many pages of doubtful record might we not often spare,for a few stones left one upon another!
分析一下前半句,不能很好理解.蜻蜓点水的自重!
注意是前半句！还是谢谢1楼的，但我不能理解的是前半句。
我直接复制黏贴过来的
Architecture is to be regarded by us with the most serious thought.We may live without her,and worship without her,but we cannot remember without her.How cold is all history,how lifeless all imagery,compared to that which the living nation writes,and the uncorrupted marble bears!--how many pages of doubtful record might we not often spare,for a few stones left one upon another!
我们应该以最严肃认真的态度来看待建筑。没有建筑，我们可以生存，可以崇拜上帝，但是我们就会失去记忆。与现存的民族记录下来的和依然如新的大理石展示给我们的东西相比，历史是那么凄冷，想象力是那么毫无生气。几块垒在一起的石头会给我们省下多少张满是疑点的记录。
