A travel book is about someone who goes somewhere, travels on the ground, sees something and spends quite a lot of time doing it, and has a hard time, and then comes back and writes about it. It's not about inventing.

  • -- Paul Theroux 保罗·泰鲁

一本旅行书是关于一个人，他去了某个地方，在地面上旅行，看到了一些东西，花了很多时间去做它，经历了一段艰难的时光，然后回来写了一些关于它的东西。这与发明无关。

There is something about music that keeps its distance even at the moment that it engulfs us. It is at the same time outside and away from us and inside and part of us. In one sense it dwarfs us, and in another we master it. We are led on and on, and yet in some strange way we never lose control.

音乐有些东西，即使在它吞噬我们的那一刻，也能保持距离。它同时存在于我们的外部和外部，以及我们的内部和一部分。在某种意义上，它使我们相形见绌，但在另一方面，我们掌握了它。我们被牵着走啊走，但奇怪的是，我们从未失去控制。
