你看这两段素材，外婆说她刚来的时候弄堂里干干净净的，可是五十年代的报纸说这一带卫生很差。我手上有两个版本的历史，我该相信谁？与其说是谁记错了，不如说是我不知道该怎么剪。
Nǐ kàn zhè liǎng duàn sùcái, wàipó shuō tā gāng lái de shíhou lòngtáng li gāngānjìngjìng de, kěshì wǔshí niándài de bàozhǐ shuō zhè yídài wèishēng hěn chà. Wǒ shǒu shang yǒu liǎng ge bǎnběn de lìshǐ, wǒ gāi xiāngxìn shéi? Yǔqí shuō shì shéi jìcuò le, bùrú shuō shì wǒ bù zhīdao gāi zěnme jiǎn.
Look at these two clips: Grandma says the lane was spotless when she first came, but a 1950s newspaper says hygiene in this area was poor. I've got two versions of history in my hands — which should I believe? It's not so much that someone remembers wrongly as that I don't know how to cut it.

我觉得两个都可以相信。就外婆个人的经历而言，她说的是真的：她自己家门口一定扫得很干净。报纸说的是整个地区，看的角度不一样。
Wǒ juéde liǎng ge dōu kěyǐ xiāngxìn. Jiù wàipó gèrén de jīnglì éryán, tā shuō de shì zhēn de: tā zìjǐ jiā ménkǒu yídìng sǎo de hěn gānjìng. Bàozhǐ shuō de shì zhěnggè dìqū, kàn de jiǎodù bù yíyàng.
I think you can believe both. As far as your grandmother's own experience goes, what she says is true: her own doorstep was certainly swept clean. The newspaper is talking about the whole area — it's looking from a different angle.
