A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
明显
Obvious
I apologize for being obvious, but every time I watch the curtain come down on even a halfway decent production of a Shakespeare play I feel a little sorrowful that I'll never know the man, or any man of such warm intelligence.
我为自己的直率道歉,但每当我看到一部莎士比亚戏剧的半正式演出落幕时,我都感到有些悲伤,因为我永远不会认识这个人,或者任何一个如此热情睿智的人。

I've made a career writing about fictitious anti-heroes. To create these worlds, I've spent a lot of time with active members on both sides of the law. And if I had to pick the most interesting of the two, the choice is obvious - we all love the guys in black.
我以写虚构的反英雄人物为职业。为了创造这些世界,我花了很多时间与法律双方的活跃成员在一起。如果我必须从这两个人中选出最有趣的一个,选择是显而易见的——我们都喜欢穿黑色衣服的人。
