我认为这是由于我们的文化不再以文学为主了…文字并不能代替你说话，所以你得替你的文字做出一点表演，你必须得证明这本书的存在，你得露面，你必须成为这本书本身。

I think that because we're not longer a literary culture... it isn't the word that speaks, you have to perform the word a bit, you have to demonstrate it, you have to appear, you have to be the book.

如果人们缺乏文学知识，他们可能会过于直接的说话，这可能会伤害到别人的感情甚至是影响朋友和家人之间的感情。

If people lack the knowledge of literature, they might say things in a direct way, it will hurt others' feeling or even break the relationship among friends and families.

文学作品中的印第安人几乎从来不说话，从来不哭不笑。

The Indians found in literature almost never talk, and never weep or smile.
