记得少年时,曾经读过一本典籍《文心雕龙》,是关于中国古典文学品论的著作。其中大部分内容,至今已印象模糊,惟独记得解说文学工作者两大分类时,提及原作家和评论家。原作家应该只专于创作,少做评论;相反评论家亦不应涉及创作,务求将主观和客观区分,免生偏见和混淆。 I remember when I was a teenager, I read a classic “Wen Xin Diao Long”, a book about Chinese classical literature. Most of the content has so far been vaguely blurred that only the original writers and critics were mentioned in explaining the two major categories of literary workers. The original writers should only focus on writing and comment less; on the contrary, critics should not touch on creation, so as to avoid subjective and objective discrimination, avoid prejudice and confusion.
