……去分类，可以说兼具二者？……尽管那句老话“什么是数？”“你把它当作数的东西就是数”（我是在 Linderholm 那本妙趣横生的书里看到的 (http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-made-difficult-Carl-Linder...) ）意味着，被视为序数或基数的各种形式的无穷，某种程度上都可以算作数；在测度论以及我自己的研究中，把它当作……通常很有帮助。
…classify it, would have some claim to being both? … although the old maxim “What's a number?” “Whatever you treat as a number” (which I encountered in Linderholm's wonderful book (http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-made-difficult-Carl-Linder...) ) means that the various flavours of infinity, considered as ordinals or cardinals, have some claim to being numbers; and it is often helpful in measure theory, and my own work, to treat…
他是在打比方，类比虚构的《银河系漫游指南》。现实世界中确实存在一本对应的《银河系漫游指南》：Carl E. Linderholm 写的《Mathematics Made Difficult》。简直爆笑。遗憾的是它已经绝版了，你要么在 abebooks.com 上花高达 138.50 美元买一本二手的段子书，要么去网上搜我以前碰巧见过的盗版 PDF……
He's analogizing to the fictional "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". There does exist an analog to the real world "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy": Carl E. Linderholm's "Mathematics Made Difficult". Utterly hilarious. Regrettably, it's out of print, and you have a choice of paying upwards of $138.50 (abebooks.com) for a used copy of a book of jokes, or finding the pirated pdf I once encountered…

每次看到那些《某某极简入门》（X made easy）的书名，我都忍不住想起 Carl E. Linderholm 的《Mathematics Made Difficult》。我觉得它搞笑极了，尽管里面的数学内容我一点都看不懂。
When seeing any of these "X made easy" titles, I can't help, but think of "Mathematics Made Difficult" by Carl E. Linderholm. I found it hilarious even though all the mathematics in it was over my head.
Linderholm 的《Mathematics Made Difficult》反其道而行之：这本书在毫无必要的情况下，硬是一头扎进了极致的学究气中。尽管如此，它依然既搞笑又发人深省。https://archive.org/details/mathematics-made-difficult
Linderholm's Mathematics Made Difficult is a converse: a book that, despite utter lack of need, leaps into being pedantic. Nevertheless, it remains both amusing and instructive. https://archive.org/details/mathematics-made-difficult
