歷史小說與政治批判的結(jié)合
"The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself."
對待好建議的唯一方法就是傳遞它。它對自己從來沒有任何用處。
"I can resist everything except temptation."
除了誘惑，我可以抵抗一切。
"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."
真相很少是純粹的，也從不簡單。
"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes."
經(jīng)驗是我們給錯誤起的名字。
"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."
擺脫誘惑的唯一方法就是屈服于它。
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
生活是世界上最罕見的事情。大多數(shù)人只是存在，僅此而已。
"Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth."
藝術(shù)是讓我們認識真相的謊言。
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
我們都在陰溝里，但仍有人仰望星空。
"The only true voyage of discovery, the only fountain of Eternal Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds."
唯一真正的發(fā)現(xiàn)之旅，唯一永恒的青春之泉，不是去訪問陌生的土地，而是擁有其他的眼睛，通過另一個人的眼睛，一百個人的眼睛，來觀察宇宙，觀察他們每個人所看到的一百個宇宙。
"To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries."
旅行就是發(fā)現(xiàn)每個人對其他國家的看法都是錯誤的。
