……《发现新大陆》。我读了，觉得特别讲得通也特别有意思。我又读了 Gavin Menzies 的下一本书《1434》，觉得同样有趣且很有说服力。接着我读了他的第三本书《The Lost Empire of Atlantis》，发现它和他的第一本一样显得有理有据。只不过，我脑子里对“米诺斯文明能够维持全球贸易”的先验概率要低得多得多，所以我没有像之前那样不带审判地全盘接受……
…Discovered The New World. I read it, found it all very plausible and interesting. I read Gavin Menzies next book, 1434, found it equally interesting and compelling. Then I read his third book, The Lost Empire of Atlantis, and found it just as plausible as his first book. Except the prior plausibility in my head of a Minoan civilization maintaining global trade was way, way lower, and so I didn't just accept it as uncritically…
带我入这个坑的是那两本极其精彩的书《1421》和《1434》，当然还有作者的第三本书《The Lost Empire of Atlantis》，我觉得它和前两本一样让人信服，这也真正让我意识到自己当年读前两本时有多轻信。
My introduction to this were the excellent books 1421, 1434, and of course, the author's third book, The Lost Empire of Atlantis, which I found every bit as convincing as the first two and really drove home how credulous I'd been when reading them.
……“读了 Gavin Menzies 的下一本书《1434》，觉得同样有趣且很有说服力。”作为一个受过训练的 STEM 科学家，我只觉得这本书纯属扯淡、毫无科学性。“接着我读了他的第三本书《The Lost Empire of Atlantis》，发现它和他的第一本一样显得有理有据。”在我看来这可不是什么好兆头。“和他的第一本一样显得有理有据”
…read Gavin Menzies next book, 1434, found it equally interesting and compelling." As a trained STEM Scientist, I found this book utterly nonsense and non-scientific. "Then I read his third book, The Lost Empire of Atlantis, and found it just as plausible as his first book." For me this is not very promising. "As plausible as his first book"
我读 Gavin Menzies 的《1421》/《1434》/《The Lost Empire of Atlantis》时也有类似的感觉。
I had a similar experience reading Gavin Menzies' 1421 / 1434 / The Lost Empire of Atlantis.
