One way to picture historic: this one will be remembered — a building people preserve, a day people will still name years from now. English also has historical, which simply means 'to do with the past'; historic adds weight, historical does not.

可以想成 historic 是「這一個會被記住」:一棟被保存下來的老建築、一個多年後人們仍叫得出名字的日子。英文另有 historical,那只是「跟過去有關」;historic 多了分量,historical 沒有。
