The classical, Gadamer argues, is that which doesn't just speak to its own historical moment but speaks for all time, speaks to all of us in different ways but does speak to us--that is to say, does proffer its claim to speak true. The classical can do that.

伽达默尔表示，古典，不是只对自己所处的历史时刻适用,而是任何时期都适用，以不同的方式对我们适用,但确实对我们适用，也就是说，确实可以提供真相，古典可以做到这一点。
