英国从本土动用超过 5 万的陆军、超过 160 艘 warships 的海军,参与这远隔大洋的 Seven Years' War,和法国陆军、海军在北美洲艰苦对决。
同一时段,中国为大清帝乾隆统治,闭关锁国、“禁海、毁船、禁船、迁界”,完全扼杀航海(见 http://www.tianya.cn/publicforum/content/no05/1/161560.shtml ),真的是不知今夕何夕。明、清二朝,没能与时俱进,框定中国几百年的衰弱落后格局。
This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.
