丘吉尔说过,伟大的人物有他们的特点:你跟他们见面一次,毕生难忘。我相信优秀作家的文字,一经接触,也会留下类似的印象。二次大战时的英国公民,在英国广播公司电台听到首相的号召,weshallfightonthebeaches,weshallfightonthelandinggrounds,weshallfightinthefieldsandinthestreets,weshallfightinthehills,即使他们这辈子没有机会亲近过这位领导,跟他握过手,但一听到这种壮烈言辞,一定感到振奋,准备共赴国难。 Churchill said that great people have their own characteristics: you meet them once and never forget. I believe that the writing of excellent writers, upon contact, will leave a similar impression. British citizens of World War II, on the BBC radio’s call to hear the Prime Minister, even though they had no chance to get close to the leader in this life and hold hands with him, but upon hearing this Heroic words, we must feel excited, ready to go to the national crisis.
