A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
事件
Event
A dramatist is one who believes that the pure event, an action involving human beings, is more arresting than any comment that can be made upon it.
剧作家认为纯粹的事件，涉及人类的行为，比任何评论都更引人注目。
What we have to do now is to make the public at large aware that what we're looking at is not a historical event but - and I have to be brutal and I am going to say it - a racket.
我们现在要做的是让广大公众意识到，我们所看到的不是一个历史事件，而是——我不得不说得很残酷——一个骗局。
In my world, history comes down to language and art. No one cares much about what battles were fought, who won them and who lost them - unless there is a painting, a play, a song or a poem that speaks of the event.
在我的世界里，历史可以归结为语言和艺术。没有人太在意曾经打过什么仗，谁赢了谁输了——除非有一幅画、一出戏、一首歌或一首诗讲述了这个事件。
