#召唤陪练狮# Macfarlane notes that even though 17th-century Japan had large cities, high literacy rates, even a futures market, it had turned its back on the essence of any work-based revolution by giving up labour-saving devices such as animals, afraid that they would put people out of work.
老师。这句话如何理解？尤其是turned its back是什么意思？是又重新回到基于工作的改革还是拒绝基于工作的改革？我感觉是又重新开始基于工作的改革通过放弃省力设备如动物，因为担心人被取代。但是给出的翻译说是拒绝基于工作的改革。
