他的其它作品我没细看。但通过这两例，我对他权威的持保留态度。

Most true it is, that I have looked on truth askance and strangely.
是的，我一直冷冷地看待真情。

hehehe, does it imply you used to be one of his blind disciples? hahaha

Now you sort of feel so 'disappointed'?

:P

是的。

曾经崇拜太阳，一天突然发现太阳有一两个“黑子”，于是开始藐视“太阳”。“崇拜”和“藐视”是同一种心态的两个极端。为何不能坦然地“欣赏”呢？为何不能欣赏优点，包容缺点呢？

hehehe, thanks for being honest with me, so let's move on...

Could you please tell me how this error could radically change your view regarding Mr. Qian as a fine doyen in his field?

Very well said!

Absolutely! why not?

Mr. Lee, you might be a supertalented man of letters, yet your cocky way of talking has thoroughly turned you into a fool. Do you understand what I mean?

You are only 32, and you have a long way to go. Could you promise you would never ever make any silly mistake? If so, I would like to wait and see...hehehe

Please remember "Man who brags too much finds himself in stew."

Mr Xu probably does "brag" a lot, that is why he often finds himself in stew, however he, as a top-notch translator, is an undeniable truth. I am sure some one would be able to outdo him one day, yet right now no one, I dare say, is able to challenge him in the poem-poetry-translation-field in terms of quality as well as quantity.

我没有狂妄到连自己是谁都不明白。现在的大师太多了。那个季羡林，我听说能精通好几国语言。什么叫精通，听说读写，这些最基本的都该掌握，才能算精通吧。季羡林会印欧土著口语吗？他只会书面语吧。

还有钱钟书的英语，这是我随便找的两个例子。其它的呢，问题肯定更多。我希望大家能擦亮眼，不要盲目崇拜。我相信，钱钟书的英语肯定不如伦敦的小商贩。大家还是看看英文书籍报刊吧。

正如我们来到这个论坛，把我们聪明才智带来，也把我们的愚蠢偏见带来。钱钟书也一样。崇拜钱钟书的人不要重蹈我的覆辙。他不是大师。
