It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has something to say; when one has nothing to say, however, and none the less writes a whole book and makes truth into a liar - that I call an achievement.
当像塔西佗一样，一个人有话要说时，简短地说几句话并不是什么伟大的艺术;然而，当一个人无话可说，却照样写了一整本书，把真相变成了一个说谎者——我称之为一种成就。
