把这一句，留给此刻的你
I certainly wanted to write a book that was honest about New Orleans without explaining it to death, so much so that the first draft contained references absolutely incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't lived here for several years.
我当然想写一本关于新奥尔良的书，诚实地描述它，而不向死亡作任何解释，以致于第一稿中包含的参考文献，对于任何几年没在这里生活过的人来说，都是绝对无法理解的。
