I loathed the commercialization of Kafka, his face scrawled across coffee mugs and T-shirts in souvenir shops, his name emblazoned on awnings of Old Town cafes and restaurants.

我对把卡夫卡商品化的做法感到厌恶：纪念品商店里的咖啡杯和T恤衫上印着做工粗糙的卡夫卡头像，老城的咖啡厅和餐馆的雨篷上也醒目地印有他的名字。

When I was a boy "discovering literature", I used to think how wonderful it would be if every other person on the street were familiar with Proust and Joyce or T. E. Lawrence or Pasternak and Kafka.

我还是个“探索文学”的毛头小伙子时，老是想，要是大街小巷人人都熟知普鲁斯特、乔伊斯、T•E•劳伦斯、帕斯捷尔纳克与卡夫卡，那该多好。
