风靡全球的漫画人物Charley Brown和 Snoopy的作者查尔斯·M·舒尔茨(Charles M Schulz)--“我”的作品便是我的写照:
If you are to read the script, oh, for just a few months, you would know me because everything that I am goes in the script. All of my fears, my 5)anxieties, my joys, and almost even all of my experiences go into that script. They are me, that is me: what I'm thinking of, what I am writing, and what the characters are doing.
要是你去读我的作品,啊,只要读几个月,你就会了解我了,因为我的一点一滴都融入到了作品中。我所有的恐惧、焦虑、快乐,甚至几乎我所有的经历都融合在作品里了。他们全部都是我,那就是我:我想到的,我写到的,以及每个角色所做的。
美国《六十分钟》电视节目的资深记者安迪·鲁尼(Andy Rooney)--“我”来年的计划:
Mozart died when he was thirty-five but his music is still played 212 years later, good as ever. This is a special moment that I’ve 6)dreaded. It seems like a good time, though, to make a personal announcement. I’ve been writing for television since there was television. I’ve done 800 of these essays; in the twenty-five years I’ve been on ”60 Minutes” I’ve saved some money; I’d like to travel; I’d like to spend more time with my family. What I want to tell you is: I am not going to do any of those things and I’ll be back here again next year.
莫扎特35岁时就过世了,但他的音乐在212年后依然广为流传,美妙一如当初。现在是我一直害怕的特殊时刻。不过,看起来这真是个发表个人公告的好机会。自有电视以来,我便一直为电视撰稿。我已写了800篇这样的评论了,并且25年来我一直做《六十分钟》的节目。我攒了些钱,我喜欢旅游,我想与家人共渡更多的时光。但是,我想告诉大家的是,我没有打算要做以上任何一件事,我明年还会出现在这个节目中。
