And you can see what I'm talking about.

从中你也能发现我所讲的内容
Actually, it's another diary and this one I have a quote from

其实还有一份日记我曾引用来
as opposed to the random senior essay.

反驳那篇学年论文
I'm remembering from years past.

过了这么多年我还记得
There's a diary of a fellow named Samuel Curwen.

这本日记的主人名叫塞缪尔·柯温
He did not describe himself as a Loyalist.

他没有把自己形容为效忠派
He described himself as a, quote, "Moderate man"--

而将自己视为"温和分子"...
and I'm going to come back to that too,

稍后我还会谈到这个
that Loyalist and moderate are not always the same thing--

效忠派和温和派并不总是一样
but he described himself as a moderate man

但他形容自己是一个温和的人
and he said that until 1775 he lived in massachusetts.

他说他直到1775年都生活在马萨诸塞州
Obviously, by 1775 it would be difficult to be a moderate man,

显然到1775年仍保持温和就变得困难
