我的意思是一个故事。但不只是一个故事。我想到了大型故事 - 深刻而复杂的故事，足以提供有关人民起源和未来的解释；建立理想，指定行为规则的故事，命名权威来源，并通过所有这些创造连续性和有意义的维度。
(I mean a story by that. But not just a story. I think of large stories - stories that are deep and complex enough to offer explanations regarding the origin and future of a people; Stories that set up the ideals, specify behavioral rules, name the sources of authority and create a dimension of continuity and meaningfulness through all of this.)
