自我介紹整理：

　　Good morning，distinguished professors!

　　 My name is Mayi，I’m very glad to be here for this interview. I’m an optimistic person，outgoing，easy-going and rich in curiosity. Although I majored in Chinese language and literature in college，I have keen interested in history.

　　 I spent my spare time reading many history books in the library when I was an undergraduate student.After graduation，I was employed as a Chinese composition teacher in Qiedu Study.

　　 But I decided to quit and prepare for the entrance examination to the yearning school. Lots of people around me feel confused，and they couldn’t help asking me why.

　　Of course， doing Chinese business will bring more employment opportunities than history，but the most interesting thing in the world for me is the process and development between countries which history is committed to study.So，I am fascinated in it.

　　 I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning.So if I am given a chance to study General history of the world in this famous university，I will spare no efforts to make some achievements in the field.

　　喜歡的書籍：人類簡史

　　《人類簡史》是一部試圖寫清人類歷史的書。然而它又截然不同于往期讀過的歷史敘述，那些書大多將目光集中在某一朝代、某一時(shí)期或者某一歷史事件，他們寫作的重點(diǎn)大多在于厘清事實(shí)。還有一些人類史、文明史，通常以文明為單位講述過去，宏觀概括，重點(diǎn)在于敘述文明的發(fā)展與文明間的互動(dòng)。

　　而作者試圖通過該書來回答人類是怎么樣從一種普通的動(dòng)物變成世界的統(tǒng)治者，人類又要走向何處。因此，這本書的切入視角非常宏大，不拘泥于一國一土，反而有點(diǎn)類似于外太空史學(xué)家正在對(duì)人類的演化進(jìn)行復(fù)盤。

　　書中給我比較深刻的概念如：“虛構(gòu)和想象”的概念、對(duì)農(nóng)業(yè)革命的獨(dú)特看法、關(guān)于宗教和村落的闡述（哥貝克石陣表明有可能是先有宗教，后衍生出村落）以及人類統(tǒng)一的三條道路（商業(yè)、宗教、帝國）還有科學(xué)革命下人類對(duì)自己無知的認(rèn)同（早期的知識(shí)體系是用故事構(gòu)成理論，耳現(xiàn)在科學(xué)用的則是數(shù)學(xué)）。

　　尤瓦爾在學(xué)術(shù)領(lǐng)域和大眾出版領(lǐng)域的專攻，也導(dǎo)致了他筆下的歷史同時(shí)具有了學(xué)術(shù)性與可讀性的雙重價(jià)值，在中國出版之后，曾引起過巨大的反響。

　　北京大學(xué)歷史學(xué)教授高毅曾評(píng)價(jià)該書為業(yè)內(nèi)“奇書，該書不但涉及了物理學(xué)、化學(xué)、生物學(xué)、人類學(xué)、生態(tài)學(xué)等多種學(xué)科，而且對(duì)其引用亦非常精到，對(duì)作為一個(gè)物種的智人乃至整個(gè)社會(huì)的來龍去脈，都做出了全方位的考察和預(yù)測，堪稱跨學(xué)科研究歷史的典范。

　　 Brief history of mankind is a book trying to write a clear history of mankind. However， it is quite different from the historical narration read in the past. Most of those books focus on a certain Dynasty， a certain period or a certain historical event， and most of their writing focuses on clarifying the facts. There are also some human history and civilization history， which usually narrate the past in the unit of civilization. The macro generalization focuses on the development of civilization and the interaction between civilizations.

　　Through this book， the author tries to answer how human beings changed from a common animal to a ruler of the world， and where human beings are going. Therefore， the perspective of this book is very broad， not limited to one country and one land， but a bit similar to that of the outer space historians who are making a review of human evolution.

　　The book gives me more profound concepts， such as the concept of “fiction and imagination“， the unique view of the agricultural revolution， the elaboration of religion and villages (the gobeck stone circle indicates that there may be religion first， and then the villages) and the three ways of human unity (Commerce， religion， Empire) and the recognition of human ignorance under the scientific revolution (the early knowledge system is The theory is made up of stories， but now the science is based on mathematics.

　　Yuval's specialization in the academic field and the public publishing field has also led to the dual value of academic and readability in his history. After publishing in China， it has caused great repercussions.

　　Gao Yi， a history professor at Peking University， once described the book as a “marvelous book“ in the industry. It not only involves physics， chemistry， biology， anthropology， ecology and many other disciplines， but also has a very sophisticated quotation. It has made a comprehensive investigation and prediction on the origin and development of Homo sapiens as a species and even the whole society， which can be regarded as a model of interdisciplinary research history.
