作家必须成为那些被沉默者的声音。
The writer must be a voice for those who have been silenced.
译文:人人都希望自己能说会道,可苏秦却因为能言善辩被车裂而死;人人都想家财万贯,可石崇却因为富可敌国而遭人诬陷杀害。赏析:说话口不择言,祸就会从口出,言多必有失。拥有富贵荣华,锦衣玉食,未尝不是好事,但也要走正道,低调做人,切不可因为财大气粗,不可一世就断送自己的前程或性命。
Books make great gifts because they have whole worlds inside of them.
The idea that a bell rings to signal when investors should get into or out of the stock market is simply not credible.
