“ | 爱国主义:名词,一堆随时可以被任何野心家所点燃,去照亮他的名字的易燃垃圾。在约翰逊博士著名的字典中,爱国主义被定义为无赖最后的避难所。带着对这位开明但有缺陷的词典编纂家应有的敬意,我斗胆认为爱国主义应该是无赖的第一个避难所。(Patriotism, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit it is the first.) | ” |
