也许我不应该选那些课，而应该学历史或新闻。

Maybe I ought to major in history or journalism instead.

其实我是一个敏感、容易被感动的人，但我是学历史的，知道在记述历史事实的时候要保持客观和冷静。

I'm a sensitive man, but as history is my discipline, I know that I should try to be objective.

作为一名大学历史教授，我不能去欺骗这本书，所以我自己也读了一遍。

As a college history major, I didn't want to shortchange the book, so I took the time to read it for myself.

So the courses I took - -actually I took some English history obviously - I took no American history which would be the field I did in the PHD, but I took a lot of courses in philosophy, in literature.

所以我选了一些课程,当然我选修了英国历史-,但我没有学美国历史,因为那是我博士时的课程，但我选了很多哲学和文学方面的课程。
