他的随笔《猎象记》（Shooting An Elephant）和《政治与英语》（Politics and the English Language）一直让我记忆犹新。我家有一套四卷本全集，现在就在我手边。我 12 岁时读了《动物庄园》，几年后又读了《1984》……
His essays Shooting An Elephant and Politics and the English Language have always stuck with me. We have the 4 volume collection in the family. It's at an arm's distance right now. I read Animal Farm when I was 12 and 1984 a few years…
…it just kinda says “It’s a bit shit, isn’t it?” Aspidistra was just boring and stupid. You also do not hear Orwell’s voice and that direct unapologetic honesty you get from his essays (“A Hanging” and “Shooting an Elephant” are great).

……它给人的感觉就像在说“这挺操蛋的，对吧？”《叶子花盛开》（Aspidistra）读起来既无聊又蠢。你也听不到奥威尔的声音，以及你在他随笔里能感受到的那种直接、毫不掩饰的坦诚（《绞刑》和《猎象记》就很棒）。我感觉他当时是想模仿那个时代伟大的男性作家来写作，而不是作为他自己——作为一名人类生活的记录者，而这才是所有优秀作家真正的模样。不过这只是我的个人看法，而且……
