他们禁掉的书里有一本是《And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street》，这是苏斯博士（Dr. Seuss）的成名作，绝对谈不上“冷门”。另一本《If I Ran the Zoo》，被广泛认为是他最好的作品之一。这两本都妥妥算得上是他的经典。
One of the books they banned, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street", was Dr. Seuss's breakthrough work, and certainly not "obscure". Another, "If I Ran the Zoo", is widely considered among his best. These are both very much among his classics.
不，历史虚无主义（revisionism）指的是就因为你自己不记得了，就假装像 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_to_Think_That_I_Saw_It_on_... 和 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_I_Ran_the_Zoo 这样的殿堂级经典不重要。没人会想念这些书，因为它们已经被抹去了。在苏联也没人想念禁书。
No, revisionism is pretending canonical books like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_to_Think_That_I_Saw_It_on_... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_I_Ran_the_Zoo are not important just because you don't remember them. Nobody will miss these books because they have been erased. Nobody missed banned books in the USSR either.

……也挺成问题的，比如对非洲海盗的描写。见仁见智吧（YMMV），但对我来说，这只是很小的一部分，跟孩子们谈一谈就足够了（相比之下，苏斯博士的《If I Ran The Zoo》这种东西大概就该被扫进历史的垃圾堆，连同《南方之歌》以及其他所有现在真没必要再看的作品一起）。https://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/17/magazine/how-to-read-a-ra...
…pretty problematic, too, for example the depiction of the African pirate. YMMV, but for me it's a small enough piece that it's worthwhile just talking it over with my kids (vs something like Dr. Seuss's "If I Ran The Zoo", which probably belongs in the dustbin of history, along with Song of the South and everything else that really isn't worth it at this point). https://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/17/magazine/how-to-read-a-ra...
……用诸如“成问题的”和“带有种族色彩的弦外之音”之类的词。那是你们的事。这是官方的原话：“美联社报道，维护和保护作者遗产的机构周二表示，六本广受欢迎的苏斯博士绘本——包括《And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street》和《If I Ran the Zoo》——‘将停止出版，原因是书中包含种族主义和缺乏敏感度的图像’。‘这些书描绘……

苏斯博士怎么就能当成等同于这个的象征符号了？故事本身甚至都谈不上冒犯（除了《If I Ran the Zoo》里的一句台词）。光是插图本身就足以成为一种象征吗？
How is Dr. Seuss a symbol comparable to this? The stories themselves aren't even offensive (apart from one line in "If I ran the Zoo"). Are the illustrations alone enough to be a symbol?
