让我们开始今天的课程
which is I've titled

本课的题目是
"Ever at Variance and Foolishly Jealous-- Intercolonial Relations."

"无尽的分歧与愚蠢猜忌的"...殖民地间关系
and the quote part of that title,

题目中引用的部分
"Ever at Variance and Foolishly Jealous,"

"无尽的分歧与愚钝猜忌的"
actually comes from a colonist named Joseph Warren

事实上出自殖民者约瑟夫·华伦之口
who was writing to a friend, probably 1766,

他在1766年前后写给朋友的信中提到
I think-- it doesn't matter;

我觉得哪年并不重要
it's--actually the quote's not highly significant for you--

其实引用的这句话对你们来说意义不大
