Hopefully, cooler heads prevail and we can tweak this, or do a little something, and nothing much really changes.

“但愿大家都能更冷静一些，也希望我们能够扭转现在的局面，或者至少能做些什么，但其实也没有什么太大的变化。”

And times when political power is exercised mainly by young men, such as the Middle Ages in Europe, tend to be more violent than when older, cooler heads prevail.

当政治权力主要由年轻人行使的时代，例如欧洲的中世纪，往往比年长、冷静的头脑盛行时更加暴力。
