千百年来速度是人们一直关注也是不得不重视的一个问题。1789年美国总统乔治·华盛顿必须花8天的时间旅行200多公里,从他的家乡到纽约市举行总统就职典礼。而在公元前50年,恺撒大帝也能以同样的速度旅行!在这两位历史人物之间的许多世纪里,交通工具并没有多少进步。然而人类只是在一个世纪之内,交通速度就发生了翻天覆地的变化,尤其是汽车大量使用以来。汽车带来了交通革命,更给人们的思想上带来了一场变革。人类追逐速度的天性一直没有泯灭。

In 1789, President George Washington must spend eight days traveling more than 200 kilometers to hold a presidential inauguration from his hometown to New York City. And in the 50 years of BC BC, Caesar was also able to travel at the same rate! There has not been much progress in transport for many centuries between the two historical figures.

Car brought the traffic revolution, but also brought a change in people’s thinking. The nature of human chase speed has not vanished.
