我第一次见到威廉·福克纳是我在奥克斯福头一年里的某个时候。1930年,我开始在大学的附属中学任教。学期中有人为新闻专业的中学生安排了一次全州性的会议。出席人中间有乔治·马里恩·奥多耐尔,他迫切希望能采访福克纳。后来,马里恩自己也出了名,成了一位诗人。他在1939年发表的那篇论述福克纳是一位道德家的文章至今仍很有份量。 The first time I saw William Faulkner was sometime in the first year of Oxfam. In 1930, I started teaching at a university affiliated high school. During the semester, there was a statewide conference for journalistic middle school students. Among the attendees was George Marion Odorean, who was eager to interview Faulkner. Later, Marion himself became famous and became a poet. His essay, published in 1939, which discusses Faulkner as a moralist, still holds a great deal today.
