令我难以忍受的是那些在立传与跳步前的停顿！

What bugs me are those pauses prior to turns and leaps!

梁启超是中国近代史上第一个放眼世界，大量替近代西方名人立传的人物。

Liang Qichao was the first in the history of modern China to open his eyes to the world, who wrote many biographies of modern western celebrities.

司马迁在为他立传时，却将一个败军之将列入《本纪》中并给予帝王的礼遇，使他成为历史上的第一失败的英雄。

As Simaqian wrote for him, a defeated general would be included in the "Discipline" and given the courtesy of the emperor which enabled him to become the first failing hero in history.
