罗马帝国灭亡之后,原来的文明结晶被付之一炬。天主教获得了至高无上的权利,反正所有人都要信奉天主教就对了,否则就是异端,甚至会被处无。教会建立起一套严格的等级制度来控制人们的思想和行为,一时间,欧洲失去了活力,不仅文学艺术死气沉沉,科学也没什么进展,非常无聊,被称为“黑暗时代”。 After the fall of the Roman Empire, the original civilization was torched. The Catholic Church has acquired the supremacy of rights. Anyway, all Catholics should be right, otherwise they will be heretical and may even be left behind. The church established a strict hierarchical system to control people's thoughts and behaviors. For a time, Europe lost its vitality. Not only was literature and art dead and science did not make any progress, it was very boring and was called “the dark age.”
