I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.

  • -- Ernest Hemingway 欧内斯特·海明威

我试着减少亵渎,但在写这本书的时候,我减少了太多的亵渎,以至于我担心写不出什么来。也许我们将不得不把它简单地看作是一本亵渎神明的书,并希望下一本书将少一些亵渎神明,或者更神圣一些。
