把这一句，留给此刻的你

Whatever his private behavior, the man and his work existed in different realms. Mencken’s defects were commonplace; his virtues were not. So wonderfully uninhibited was his style that even a single sentence in a routine article proclaimed its begetter.

无论他的私人行为如何，他和他的作品存在于不同的领域。门肯的缺点是司空见惯的;他的美德却不是。他的写作风格是如此地无拘无束，甚至在一篇日常文章中，只有一句话就能说明他的风格。
