Back in the 1950s, America set out to intervene in Syria, liberate the people from a corrupt elite, and bring about a new democracy. They did this with the best of intentions, but it led to disaster. And out of that disaster, the Assad regime rose to power.
早在1950年代，美国便开始干预叙利亚，将人民从腐败的精英中解放出来，并实现新的民主。 他们本着最好的意图做到了这一点，但是却导致了灾难。 从那场灾难中，阿萨德政权上台。
There are two - parallel - universes of science. One is the actual day-to-day work of scientists, patiently researching into all parts of the world and sometimes making amazing discoveries. The other is the role science plays in the public imagination - the powerful effect it has in shaping how millions of ordinary people see the world.
有两个平行的科学领域。 其中之一是科学家的日常工作，他们耐心地研究世界各地，有时会发现惊人的发现。 另一个是科学在公众想象中所扮演的角色-科学在塑造数百万普通人如何看待世界方面所发挥的强大作用。
I have always wanted to make a series of films which would be like an 'emotional history' that conveys what it feels like to live through history as an experience rather than a grand story. It would be about the relationship between the tiny fragments and moments of personal experience, and the continual backdrop of big events.
我一直想拍一系列像“情感历史”的电影，传达的是经历历史而不是盛大故事的感觉。 这将涉及个人经历的微小片段和时刻以及重大事件不断发生之间的关系。
Throughout the western world, new systems have risen up whose job is to constantly record and monitor the present - and then compare that to the recorded past. The aim is to discover patterns, coincidences and correlations, and from that, find ways of stopping change. Keeping things the same.
在整个西方世界，已经出现了新的系统，其工作是不断记录和监视当前-然后将其与记录的过去进行比较。 目的是发现模式，巧合和相关性，并从中找到阻止变化的方法。 保持相同。
