首先,我得声明,对他的学术,还有他那些所谓的公共生活,我毫无所知。我深深地相信,他对这个世界的终极价值,在于他所出版的那些书,虽然我只能欣赏那些书中以英语诗歌和散文写就的、可以称为艺术作品的部分。 First of all, I must declare that I have no knowledge of his studies and of his so-called public life. I am deeply convinced that his ultimate value to the world lies in the books he publishes, though I can only appreciate those parts of the book written in English poetry and prose that can be called works of art.
