※ 引述《yhubi (yhubill)》之銘言:
: Paragraph 2
: The source of Roman [obsession with] unity and cohesion may well have lain
: in the pattern of Rome's early development. Whereas Greece had grown from
: scores of scattered cities, Rome grew from one single organism. While the
: Greek world had expanded along the Mediterranean seas lanes, the Roman world
: was assembled by territorial conquest. Of course, the contrast is not quite
: so stark: in Alexander the Great the Greeks had found the greatest territorial
: conqueror of all time; and the Romans, once they moved outside Italy, did not fail to learn the lessons of sea power.
: Yet the essential difference is undeniable. The Key to the Greek world lay
: in its high-powered ships; the key to Roman power lay in its marching legions. The Greeks were wedded to the sea; the Romans, to the land. The Greek was a sailor at heart; the Roman, a landsman.
: 3. The phrase "obsession with" in the passage is closest in meaning to
: ○thinking about
: ○fixation on
: ○interest in
: ○attitude toward
