你指的可能是菲利普·罗斯（Philip Roth）那档子事。（这种事其实不少，但这起可能是最出名的一个）。基本上就是，关于罗斯的小说《人性的污秽》（顺便说一句，非常棒的一本书）的词条引用了一位《纽约时报》评论家的话，称主角的灵感可能来自某个人。罗斯的经纪人试图把这段删掉（罗斯说他是……
You may be referring to the Philip Roth incident. (There are a number of such incidents, but this is perhaps the most famous). Essentially, the article on Roth's book The Human Stain (an excellent book by the way) cited a New York Times critic as saying that the main character may have been inspired by a particular person. Roth's agent attempted to remove this (Roth says that he was…
看起来确实是这样：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Stain > 罗斯在2012年发表于《纽约客》的一篇文章中描述过，他的小说灵感源自他朋友梅尔文·图明（Melvin Tumin）生活中的一件事，后者是“在普林斯顿任教约三十年的社会学教授”。图明……
It appears so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Stain >Roth described in a 2012 piece for The New Yorker how his novel was inspired by an event in the life of his friend Melvin Tumin, a "professor of sociology at Princeton for some thirty years". Tumin…
我*确实*读过《人性的污秽》，讲的是一所小型文理学院的古典文学教授科尔曼·西尔克（Coleman Silk），就因为对开学头几周都没来上课的两名学生说了句无关痛痒的话，结果就被开除了。那个……
I _have_ read The Human Stain, which is about Coleman Silk, a Classics professor at a small liberal arts college, who is fired after an innocuous remark about two students who fail to come to class for the first couple of weeks. The…
这可不是那篇文章的核心主张。罗斯抱怨的是大量极具声望的二手资料对《人性的污秽》做出的一种解读，尽管词条里其实已经写明了罗斯自己的创作意图。这才是他那篇牢骚背后的核心争论点。是不是……
That's not the general assertion the article makes. Roth complained about an interpretation of _The Human Stain_ that had been made in numerous extremely reputable secondary sources, despite the fact that the article included a recitation of Roth's own intent. That's the core argument beneath the rant. Is that…
我对他的语气没什么好说的（什么“帅气扔麦”之类的）。但这里的核心问题，说白了就是：罗斯不同意针对《人性的污秽》的某种批评性解读（尽管这种解读是有事实依据的——即“故事的灵感究竟来自罗斯的哪位熟人”），而且他觉得自己作为本书作者的地位，赋予了他要求……的权力。
I don't have much to say about his tone ("drops mic" and all that). But the core issue here, just to make it very clear: Roth disagreed with a critical interpretation of _The Human Stain_ (albeit an interpretation that was grounded in fact --- "which acquaintance of Roth was the story inspired by"), and felt that his standing as the book's author gave him the authority to demand the…
我能想到的一个例子就是作家菲利普·罗斯试图澄清自己的小说《人性的污秽》的灵感来源：http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2012/09/an-open-... 《人性的污秽》的维基百科词条现在已经包含了关于这场争议的说明 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Stain#Anatole_Broyard...
One example that comes to my mind is when author Philip Roth attempted to clarify the inspiration for his book The Human Stain. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2012/09/an-open-... The wikipedia entry for The Human Stain now contains a reference to the controversy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Stain#Anatole_Broyard...
