*In a Humorous Way#幽默式开场欣赏 My respected comrades, I think when my name Marx Gorky is mentioned here, some measuring modifiers such as great noble tall will be added to it.
If we always overemphasize and boast a certain person, we will neglect the achievements others made and the importance of others existing.
I wonder if you have ever thought of that.
Please believe me.
Im not talking high language on purpose nor am I making myself up.
Considering some important reasons, I have to speak so.
Say, there are great difference between our ages, but we share the same mother─children of all literature of Soviet Union.
Judging the value and the authors achievements is up to the readers.
And commenting on a piece of works of literature is up to the critic.
敬爱的同志们,我觉得,提到高尔基的名字时,常常会加上一些度量的形容词,如伟大的、高尚的、高大的等等。如果老是过分地强调和抬高一个人物,我们就会使别人的成就和重要性失去光彩,这一点,你们没有想到吧?请相信我,我并不是故意讲漂亮话,也不是装模作样。有许多重要的原因使我不能不说这些话。打个比方说,在这里,我们各位的年龄尽管相差很大,然而都是同一个很年轻的母亲──全苏联文学的孩子。
衡量一个作家的成就,是读者的事;说明一部文学作品的社会意义是批评家的事。
