Politics and the English Language
“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”
「政治語言是設計來讓謊言聽來像真的、讓謀殺聽來可敬,還捕風捉影讓無形的風變得像堅固的實體。」
——George Orwell(喬治‧歐威爾)
“I'm quite illiterate, but I read a lot. ” —J.D.Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
