今年要求我们进行思考;确实,无论人们认为庆祝欧洲人抵达我们大陆500周年是否有理,都不应该怀疑人们不禁要了解这一事件的影响。我在古动物学方面的研究,必然会引导我去考察自1492年西班牙人在我们的土地上定居以来,特别是在墨西哥人和动物之间关系的变化。下面的评述是这一思考的结果,是在这一领域八年研究积累起来的观察结果。我不打算把一方列入好的方面,把另一方列入坏的方面,而更想把两种生活方式加以对比,把人同其环境,特别是同动物相连系的两种方式加以对比,并且把在这两种思想方式发生对抗时,人对所发生的一切的两种理解方式加以对比。
This year calls for our thinking; indeed, no matter whether it is justified to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Europeans on our continent, one should not doubt that one can not but understand the impact of this incident. My research in paleontology will inevitably lead me to examine the changes that have taken place since the Spanish settled on our land in 1492, especially between Mexicans and animals. The following commentary is the result of this reflection and is the result of the observations accumulated over the eight years of research in this area. I do not intend to include one side in the good side and the other side in the bad side. Instead, I want to compare the two ways of life and compare the two ways in which people are connected with their environment, especially with animals. And when confronting these two ways of thinking, one contrasts the two ways in which everything happens.
