……衡量成功与否其实挺微妙的，尤其是考虑到现代犯罪小说的受众很小众。犯罪小说的受众群比青少年奇幻小说小得多；我敢说在“罗琳门”事件爆发之前，《布谷鸟的呼唤》在它那个类型里其实卖得算非常好的了。
…success is kind of tricky, especially given the niche position of modern crime novels. The audience for crime novels is much smaller than the audience for young adult fantasy novels; I'm relatively sure A Cuckoo's Calling was selling very well for its genre before Rowlinggate.
《布谷鸟的呼唤》（The Cuckoo's Calling）之所以被确认是罗琳的作品，是因为她的律师走漏了风声；而这位分析师却把功劳揽在自己头上（不过措辞很讲究，留足了多重解读的空间），这并不能给我……

> J.K. Rowling published a book called The Cuckoo’s Calling under the pen name Robert Galbraith only to be outed by someone performing advanced text analysis with a computer. That is highly misleading. She was outed by a person with inside knowledge (anonymous…
……这哥们是在普遍分析文本时碰巧匹配上了这本，属于大海捞针式的发现。实际的故事就没那么戏剧性了。先是推特上有人匿名爆料说：“嘿，我觉得《布谷鸟的呼唤》是 J.K. 罗琳写的。”然后把书丢进软件里跑了一遍，结果显示：没错，大概率就是她写的。
…guy was analyzing texts in general and came up with this match; a needle in the haystack thing. The story is less interesting. An anonymous Twitter tip said, "Hey I think that J.K. Rowling wrote The Cuckoo's Calling." The result of running it through the software was: yeah, she probably did.
反方观点：罗伯特·加尔布雷思写的《布谷鸟的呼唤》卖了 500 本。JK·罗琳写的《布谷鸟的呼唤》卖了 10 万多本。
Counterpoint: The Cuckoo's Calling, by Robert Galbraith, sold 500 copies. The Cuckoo's Calling, by JK Rowling, sold a 100,000+ copies.
