伟大的毁弃，被毁弃的伟大

Great Ruin, the Greatness of the Ruined

在英语和中文中，“毁弃”这个词部有着某种悲剧性的意味．使我们想起历史上的某些伟大城市的结局，比如亚历山大和长安。然而，毁弃并不像人们通常理解的那般简单，首先毁弃可能并不是一个转瞬即逝的历史事件，它没准会花上一个世纪的时间，其次，毁弃并不一定得依赖暴力性的物理摧毁手段，再次，毁弃通常是打着建立一个美好新世界的旗号来大行其道的，我们并不一定非得上乔浩·奥维尔的小说里去找诸如此类的例子，豪斯曼对于中世纪巴黎就是这么干的。

In English and Chinese,the word ＂ruin＂ has an implication of tragedy,remiding us of the ending of some great cities in the history,such as Sllexender,and Chang＇an.However,ruin is not as simple as we have thought：first,ruin isn＇t a quick-passing historical affair and it may take a centuty;secondly,rin doesn＇t happen only through physical violence;thirdly,ruin usually is made in the name of building a beautiful new world.Fact is just so：today＇s ruin in Chinese cities is exactly an indifference and ruin to the greatness itself.
