我最初将这本书命名为 What is Wrong,若注意到使用这个书名引发的大量社交误会,定能满足你那冷嘲热讽的性子。许多温和的女访客在听到我随口说“我整个上午都在做 What is Wrong”时都惊讶地瞪大了眼睛。而当我对一位牧师说(依他的理解)我得跑上楼去做些出格的事(do what was wrong),不过一分钟内就下来时,他更是在椅子上猛烈地挪动了一下。

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • ……《Heretics》,探讨了一些当代的潮流和思想谬误——萧伯纳、尼采、托尔斯泰、虚无主义等等。写得绝妙之极,而且非常幽默,就像他的大多数作品一样,甚至尤甚。常读常新。还有《What's Wrong with the World》。他的《自传》。到处都是精彩绝伦的片段。他的大部分书都是报纸专栏合集,有些写得不错,有些好到令人惊叹。全都值得一读。《All Things Considered》、《Alarms and Discursions》……

    …Heretics, on some contemporary trends and errors of thought—Shaw, Nietzsche, Tolstoy, nihilism etc. It's just brilliant, and very funny, like most of his stuff, though more so. Endlessly re-readable. Also What's Wrong with the World. His Autobiography. Full of wonderful bits. Most of his books are collections of his newspaper articles, some good, some amazingly good. All worth reading. All Things Considered, Alarms and Discursions,…

  • ……感觉像是在对信徒布道。作为“信徒”中的一员,有很多东西我很赞同,但我不太 get 得到他虚构小说的点。不过切斯特顿的非虚构作品,《The Everlasting Man》、《Orthodoxy》、《What's Wrong With the World》以及《Heretics》,是我读过的最好、最深刻的书之一,它们真的让我大吃一惊,因为我没想到会是这般模样。里面充满了思辨和误解……

    …feels like preaching to the choir. As part of the choir there is a lot I agree with, but I don't quite get the point of his fiction. But Chesterton's non-fiction books, The Everlasting Man, Orthodoxy, What's Wrong With the World and Heretics are some of the best and most insightful books I have ever read, and they really took me by surprise because I did not expect them to be what they are. They are full of speculation, and misunderstandings,…

  • 读切斯特顿在《What's Wrong With The World》等作品中一些较为过时的观点挺有意思的。看看他对女权主义的看法:其中一个核心担忧是,这部分运动不过是为了让更多人沦为劳动力受剥削的手段。事实上,他通常对“劳动力大军”相当怀疑,敏锐地指出……

    It's interesting to read some of Chesterton's more dated opinions in works like "What's Wrong With The World." Consider his take on feminism: one key fear was that a part of it was just a way to exploit more people in the workforce. He was, indeed, quite skeptical of "the workforce" generally, observing with…

  • ……在福音书中,耶稣对待得最严厉的人群实际上是伪善者。他甚至把他们称作粉饰的坟墓,里面装满了死人的骨头!真是可悲的现状。我不禁想到 G.K. Chesterton 在《What's Wrong with the World》中的名言,他指出:“基督教理想并不是被拿去尝试后发现有所欠缺。而是被发现太难了,从而根本没人去尝试。”不过,也许这适用于所有主要的信仰体系吧……

    …The group Jesus is harshest with in the Gospels is in fact the hypocrites. He even calls them white washed tombs full of dead men's bones! What a lamentable state of things. G.K. Chesterton's words in "What's Wrong with the World" come to mind where he points out "The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried." Perhaps this applies to all major belief systems though,…

  • 根据同级回复所说,这是切斯特顿的名言,出自他的作品《What's Wrong with the World》:* https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1717/1717-h/1717-h.htm 一种解释是:> 切斯特顿始终在为业余人士对抗专业人士、为“通才”对抗专才辩护,尤其是……

    Per a sibling, it is Chesterton, from his work What's Wrong with the World: * https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1717/1717-h/1717-h.htm An explanation: > Chesterton consistently defended the amateur against the professional, or the “generalist” against the specialist, especially…

  • > 如果一件事值得做,那就算做得再烂也值得去做 我脑子里也老是浮现这句话。我相信这就是出处(G.K. Chesterton,《What's Wrong with the World》):https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1717/1717-h/1717-h.htm#link2...

    > if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly I also keep coming back to this phrase. I believe this is the source (G.K. Chesterton, What's Wrong with the World): https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1717/1717-h/1717-h.htm#link2...
