G. M. Trevelyan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Macaulay Trevelyan, OM, CBE, FRS, FBA (16 February 1876 ^[1] – 21 July 1962^[2]), was a British historian. Trevelyan was the third son of Sir George Otto Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet, and great-nephew of Thomas Babington Macaulay, whose staunch liberal Whig principles he espoused in accessible works of literate narrative avoiding a consciously dispassionate analysis, that became old-fashioned during his long and productive career.^[3] The noted historian E. H. Carr considered Trevelyan to be one of the last historians of the Whig tradition.^[4]

14. 你給勞狄刻雅教會的天使寫：「那做『阿們』，做忠信而真實見證的，做天主創造萬物根源的這樣說：
15. 我知道你的作為：你也不冷，也不熱；巴不得你或冷或熱！
16. 但是，你既然是溫的，也不冷，也不熱，我必要從我口中把你吐出來。
17. 你說：我是富有的，我發了財，什麼也不缺少；殊不知你是不幸的，可憐的，貧窮的，瞎眼的，赤身裸體的。
18. 我給你出個主意：你要向我買用火煉好的黃金，為使你富有，也買件白衣穿上，為不顯露你裸體的羞恥，又買點眼藥，抹在你的眼上，為使你能看見。
19. 凡我所疼愛的人，我要譴責他，管教他；所以你應當發奮熱心，痛悔改過！
20. 看，我立在門口敲門，誰若聽見我的聲音而給我開門，我要進到他那裏，同他坐席，他也要同我一起坐席。
21. 勝利的，我要賜他同我坐在我的寶座上，就如我得勝了，同我的父坐在他的寶座上一樣。
22. 有耳朵的，應聽聖神向各教會說的話。」
