The ambivalence of writing is such that it can be considered both an act and an interpretive process that follows after an act with which it cannot coincide. As such, it both affirms and denies its own nature.

  • -- Paul de Man 保罗·德曼

写作的矛盾在于,它既可以被看作是一种行为,也可以被看作是一种解释过程,一种与之不一致的行为之后的解释过程。因此,它既肯定又否定自己的本性。
