简扼乃机智之魂,而冗言即无用之外饰。(Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes.) —— 莎士比亚《哈姆雷特》
我可残酷,但不可无良心;(Let me be cruel, not unnatural;)
我可用语言的利剑来刺戳她,但决不用真刃。(I will speak daggers to her, but use none.) —— 莎士比亚《哈姆雷特》
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
名字代表什么?我们所称的玫瑰
换个名字还是一样芳香。 —— 莎士比亚《罗密欧与朱丽叶》
