……我们知道自己活着：因为我们错了。也许最好的做法是别再纠结对别人判断得对不对，就这么跟着走下去。但你要是真能做到——那算你走运。”——Philip Roth，《American Pastoral》
…we know we're alive: we're wrong. Maybe the best thing would be to forget being right or wrong about people and just go along for the ride. But if you can do that -- well, lucky you.” ― Philip Roth, American Pastoral
……人和计算机都能读——这想法如今看来几乎有点矫情了。Knuth 博士甚至主张，有些计算机程序就像 Elizabeth Bishop 的诗和 Philip Roth 的《American Pastoral》一样，是够格拿普利策奖的文学作品。特别注意这一段：> 所谓“文学化编程”，强调……的重要性——这想法如今看来几乎有点矫情了”“文学化编程”……
…readable by humans as well as computers — a notion that nowadays seems almost twee. Dr. Knuth has gone so far as to argue that some computer programs are, like Elizabeth Bishop’s poems and Philip Roth’s “American Pastoral,” works of literature worthy of a Pulitzer. Note this part specifically: > the notion of “literate programming,” emphasizing the importance...a notion that nowadays seems almost twee" "literate programming"…
一家保守派杂志拿 John Updike、Sinclair Lewis 和 Philip Roth 来哀叹乡村俱乐部的衰落，这实在有点不着调。这些人的作品（《American Pastoral》、《Rabbit, Run》）恰恰是在痛批五六十年代那种挤破头往乡村俱乐部钻的文化。那个时期的文学里出现了乡村俱乐部，并不能证明乡村俱乐部有什么正面……
There's something awfully tone-deaf about a conservative magazine using John Updike, Sinclair Lewis and Philip Roth to bemoan the decline of country clubs. These men's works (American Pastoral, Rabbit, Run) excoriate the culture of the 50s and 60s rat-race-to-the-country-club. The fact that the literature of the period employs the country club is not evidence of the country club's positive…
不确定 Michael Roth 和 Philip Roth 有没有亲戚关系，但这不知怎么让我想起了《American Pastoral》，还有那个反对越战及其余波的年代。我不太确定那些示威和今天看到的这些该怎么比，但相似之处相当惊人。
Not sure if Michael Roth is related to Philip Roth, but it somehow reminds me of American Pastoral and that era of protests against the Vietnam War and its aftermath. I'm not entirely sure how those demonstrations compare to the ones we’re seeing today, but the parallels are striking
