COVID has pervaded all aspects of our lives and we are struggling to continue our activities without health measures rendering them devoid of all their appeal. In certain cases, the situation has exacerbated unwanted developments, sometimes even revealing them. For us, as we finish this 149th issue, COVID reminds us just how indispensable human contact and free discussion are to academic output. This is true not only of classes and seminars, but also of what might seem to be the least sociable of research activities: the editing of texts. We of course require solitude to write, read, comment upon, revise, correct, and format articles. But dialogue and discussion are also necessary to improve the texts sent to a journal such as ours; this is how we can reap all the benefits of the peer reviews we receive and pass on criticism and suggestions to authors without causing offense, thus opening up new perspectives for them to enrich their work. Luckily, we two editors of this journal share the same office and so, for as long as we remain out of lockdown, we can remove our masks and discuss the texts that we publish.

Covid时报

COVID已渗透到我们生活的方方面面，我们正在努力继续开展活动，而没有采取健康措施，使他们失去了所有吸引力。在某些情况下，这种情况加剧了有害的事态发展，有时甚至揭示了它们。对我们来说，当我们完成第149期时，COVID提醒我们，人与人之间的交流和自由讨论对于学术成果而言是多么不可或缺。不仅在课堂和讨论会上，而且在研究活动中社交性最低的地方也是如此：编辑文本。当然，我们需要独处来撰写，阅读，评论，修改，更正和格式化文章。但是，对话和讨论对于改善发送给我们这样的期刊的文章也很有必要；这样，我们就可以充分利用我们收到的同行评议的所有好处，并在不引起冒犯的情况下将批评和建议传递给作者，从而为他们开辟新的视角，以丰富他们的工作。幸运的是，我们两个期刊的编辑共享同一办公室，因此，只要我们不受限制，我们就可以删除面具并讨论我们发表的文章。
