1519年11月，Hernando Cortés沿着通往Aztec王国都城的堤道前行，与Moctezuma面对面相遇。那个故事——以及随后发生的一切——已被讲述过无数次，但始终遵循着西班牙人提供的叙事。毕竟我们一直被灌输这样的观念：握笔书写历史的是欧洲人。然而，美洲原住民对Roman alphabet产生了浓厚兴趣，并在殖民者毫不知情的情况下，用它以自己的语言Nahuatl写下了详尽的历史。直到最近，这些史料仍鲜为人知，且仅被部分翻译，

……播客！阿兹特克人（或墨西加人）在欧洲人到来之前也是有文字历史的。可以看看下面这两本书里的精彩总结：Burr Cartwright Brundage 写的《A Rain of Darts: The Mexica Aztecs》，以及 Camilla Townsend 写的《Fifth Sun: A New History of the Aztecs》
…podcast! The Aztecs (or Mexica) also have a written history from before the Europeans came. See great summaries in the two books below: A Rain of Darts: The Mexica Aztecs by Burr Cartwright Brundage Fifth Sun: A New History of the Aztecs by Camilla Townsend
其实更好的是《The Fifth Sun: A new history of the Aztecs》这本书，它是基于纳瓦特尔语（阿兹特克语）文献撰写、由 Camille Townsend 翻译梳理的。它讲述了阿兹特克人是如何看待被征服的，其实一开始他们并不认为这是一场征服。……
Actually better is the book "The Fifth Sun: A new history of the Aztecs" written in Nahuatl (the Aztec language) and translated by Camille Townsend. It is an account of how the Aztecs viewed conquest, which they didn't see as a conquest initially.…
Camilla Townsend 的《Fifth Sun》读起来非常有趣，它整合了关于被征服时期的海量史料，讲述了一个比我以往所听到的更加详尽的故事。当西班牙人出现时，阿兹特克的敌人们……
Camilla Townsend's "Fifth Sun" was a really interesting read in that it brought together a lot of sources of the conquest to tell a more detailed story than I had probably heard before. When the Spanish showed up, the Aztec's enemies…
我待读书单里有这本书，里面还有另一本美洲历史书是 Camilla Townsend 的《Fifth Sun》。这是一部参考了阿兹特克本土历史学家的阿兹特克史。听上去是一本非常棒的书。https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44244939-fifth-sun
I have this book in my to read stack and another American history in there is “Fifth Sun” by Camilla Townsend. It is a history of the Aztecs, referenced from Aztec historians. It sounds like a wonderful book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44244939-fifth-sun
……画了一个人，用象形图谜（rebus）暗示他的名字，周围被雨水环绕，希望能传达出这么一句话。但到了那个地步你纯粹就是在猜了。这差别可太大了。我之前在读《Fifth Sun》那本书的推荐语，他们搞得相当浪漫化，暗示说什么“用阿兹特克人自己的话讲述被遗忘的真实故事，西班牙征服者不想让你知道的秘密！”这对天真的读者来说简直太不诚实了……
…with a guy, with rebus device to suggest his name, surrounded by rain, hoping to convey such a sentence. But at that point you're just guessing. It changes things a lot. I was reading the blurb on that Fifth Sun book and they were getting quite romantic suggesting a narrative of the true forgotten story of the Aztec in their own words the Spanish conquerors didn't want you to know! That's so dishonest to a naive…
我正在读一本关于阿兹特克人的书（《Fifth Sun》）。西班牙人与墨西加人的相遇绝对是人类历史上最史诗级的事件。失去的一切太令人扼腕了。为作者点赞。
I'm reading a book about the Aztecs now (Fifth Sun). The meeting of the Spanish with the Mexica has to be the most epic event in human history. Tragic what was lost. Kudos to the artist for this.
