身兼诗人、辞书编纂家、批评家、道德家和“Great Cham”的 Johnson 博士，在其好友 Boswell 身上找到了理想的传记作者。Boswell 出了名且自认放荡不羁，他与 Johnson 一样对生活抱有巨大的热情，并不遗余力地以微小却传神的细节记录下生活的方方面面。这位精力充沛的苏格兰人“总是在研究人性并进行实验”，他每天写下的生动非凡的《Journals》为他日后撰写传记提供了第一流的素材。其结晶便是一部洋溢着机智、轶事与独创性的杰作

难道就没有其他同样有趣的名人传记和传记作家了吗？比如下面这些：- 詹姆斯·鲍斯威尔的《塞缪尔·约翰逊传》（Life of Samuel Johnson） - 卡尔·桑德堡写的三到四卷本林肯传。- 伊萨克·多伊彻写托洛茨基的鸿篇巨著（《先知》三部曲）。- 达夫·库珀的《塔列朗》。- 汤姆·克里夫的三卷本列宁传。- 威廉·陶布曼……
Aren't there other great biographies and biographers as interesting as well including the following: -James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson -Carl Sandburgs 3 or 4 volume biography of Lincoln. - Isaac Deutscher's massive biography of Trotsky.(The Prophet). -Duff Cooper's Talleyrand. -Tom Cliffs 3 volume biography of Lenin. - William Taubman…
……不可能驳倒它。我永远忘不了约翰逊回答时那种敏捷果断的劲头：他使出吃奶的力气猛踢一块大石头，直到整个人被弹了回来，‘我就这样驳倒它！’”（鲍斯威尔的《塞缪尔·约翰逊传》，引自 Wikipedia。）
…impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it, ‘I refute it thus.'”(Boswell’s Life of Samuel Johnson, quoted from Wikipedia.)

悠着点。我没记错的话（IIRC），博尔赫斯说过你不能对塞万提斯浅尝辄止。你说的是哪本传记？鲍斯威尔写的《塞缪尔·约翰逊传》（The Life of Samuel Johnson）吗？那本书到处都很容易搞到啊。这篇文章出自《博尔赫斯教授：英国文学课》，是根据一个学生的课堂笔记整理出来的。
Be careful. IIRC, according to Borges, you can't just dip your foot into Cervantes. What bio are you talking about? The Life of Samuel Johnson, by Boswell? That should be reasonably easy to get anywhere. This article is from Professor Borges: A Course on English Literature, taken from a student's notes for the class.
读过鲍斯威尔写的《塞缪尔·约翰逊传》吗？塞缪尔·约翰逊是个诗人，在 18 世纪的大众流行文化知名度里，那地位差不多就相当于摇滚巨星了。
Ever read Boswell's life of Samuel Johnson? Samuel Johnson was a poet, which was about as close as you could be to a rock star in terms of popular culture fame in the 18th century.
