我已经很久没读斯穆里安（Smullyan）的作品了，但我很想说，《This Book Needs No Title》整本书，再加上他至少另外一本哲学著作（可能还有他那些逻辑谜题书的部分内容），非常出色地展开阐述了最后那句话。
It's been a good while since I read any of Smullyan's work, but I kinda want to say that the entirety of This Book Needs No Title, along with at least one of his other philosophy books (and maybe some parts of his logic puzzle books) does a pretty good job of expanding on that last line.
斯穆里安最好的书依然是《This Book Needs No Title》，不过他的书至少读起来都很有趣，包括这本也是。
The best Smullyan book is still "This Book Needs No Title", but all of them are at least fun to read, this one included.
这让我想起雷蒙德·斯穆里安（Raymond Smullyan）的书（《This Book Needs No Title》）里的一段绝妙摘录，我觉得它最精准地捕捉到了这类文章背后那种心照不宣且毫无根据的恐惧。引文如下：“最近我和一群数学家和哲学家聚在一起。其中一位哲学家……
This reminds me of a great snippet from one of Raymond Smulyan's books ("This Book Needs No Title") that I think best captures the implied and unfounded fear behind these sort of articles. Here's the quote in full: “Recently I was with a group of mathematicians and philosophers. One philosopher…
这整套关于性格缺陷和自控力的讨论，让我想起了雷蒙德·斯穆里安《This Book Needs No Title》里的这段话：我认识一个抽烟的女士。她说：“我不是非抽不可，这是我自己的选择。只要我想，我随时能轻松戒掉，但我看不出有什么理由要戒。不过我敢向你保证，要是我……
This whole thing about character flaws and self control reminded me of the following passage from Raymond Smullyan's "This Book Needs No Title": I know one woman who smokes. She says: “It’s not that I have to smoke; I choose to. I could easily give it up any time I wish to, but I see no reason why I should. But I can assure you, I could if…
……因为很喜欢斯穆里安的一本书，我就去搜了他更多的书。系统里跳出来的一本书居然没有书名。我一头雾水，记下索书号走到书架前抽出了那本书。结果是《This Book Needs No Title》（此书无须书名）。显然，当年把它录入编目系统的人深受斯穆里安恶作剧风格的启发。
…Having loved one of Smullyan's books, I searched for more. One book that came up didn't have a title in the system. Puzzled, I wrote down the call number, went to the shelf, and grabbed the book. It was "This Book Needs No Title". Clearly whoever added it to the catalog was inspired by Smullyan's prankster ways.
