1: Edward Thomas was a late starter to poetry. [...]112: “I couldn’t write a poem to save my life,” he declared aged 35, when a “literary hack” of minor biographies and travel memoirs , struggling to support a wife and three children. 3: A year later, and three years before he was killed by a passing shell in the Arras offensive in the first world war, he had written and published some of the finest poems to come out of Britain at the beginning of the 20th century.

1:爱德华·托马斯在诗歌方面是一位后起之秀。[...]112: “我没法靠写诗养家糊口 。”他在35岁时如是说。当时他是一位“受雇文人”，写一些短篇传记和游记，艰难地供养妻子和三个孩子。 3:他在36岁时创作并发表了一些诗歌。在20世纪初的英国，他的这些诗作是最优秀的。又过了三年以后，他在第一次世界大战的阿拉斯战役中被炮弹击中，不幸身亡。

1: Lillian Hellman knew how to tell a good story, and she liked to spin her own. 2: So she destroyed old letters, suppressed records and hushed friends. 3: She replaced hard documentation with soulful reminiscences of a Jewish childhood in New Orleans, of coming of age during the Depression and of defending her leftist ideals amid the hysteria of the cold war. 4: Flinty yet glamorous, she was blacklisted in the 1950s because she would not confess to a crime of disloyalty she felt she never committed. [...]115: In memoirs and anecdotes, Hellman presented herself as she wished to be remembered—the courageous and upright heroine of her own play—and tried to destroy or quash everything else.

1:丽莲·海尔曼知道怎样才能叙述出一个好的故事，并且她喜欢编写关于自己的故事。2:正因为这样，她废弃了旧的书信，禁止写记录性的文件，缄默朋友。3:用充满感情的回忆录，取代了生硬刻板的文件。一个犹太人，在新奥尔良度过了自己的童年时光，成年时期经历了大萧条，并且在歇斯底里的冷战时期捍卫她的左翼思想。4:在二十世纪五十年代，她被列入黑名单，原因是她不愿意承认自己犯了不忠罪，她觉得自己从来没有犯过。[...]115:虽然顽固了点，可是却很绚烂。在回忆录与轶事里，海尔曼这样呈现自己——一个有勇气且正直的女英雄，并且试图摧毁或是捣碎一切。

[...]111:Few memoirs are worth reading.2:When they are not tawdry opportunities to air grievances, settle scores or rationalise errors, they tend to be tales of adversity with a triumphant twist.3:This is what makes Joan Didion unique.4:Her non-fiction has always considered grand matters from a personal perspective, without making herself the centre of the story.5:Even when she writes about the hard drama of her own life, such as the sudden death of her husband followed by the death of her only daughter, her stories manage to be larger than her own grief.

[...]111:鲜有回忆录有看头。2:作者们如果没法发牢骚、翻旧账、找借口，就是自吹自擂的往脸上贴金。3:琼·迪丹与众不同之处正在于此。4:她的纪实类文学作品常常是从个人视角出发，思考重大事件，而不是把自己作为故事的中心。5:即使是写到诸如独生女儿死去之后丈夫也突然去世这样自己生命中艰难时刻，她对故事的经营也远远超过了自己的悲伤。

Political memoirs generally do two things. The first is to set the record straight. The second is to justify the writer’s own career, arguing causes that have long since been lost, or won by others. David Lipsey’s book is admirably long on the first, though not devoid of the second.

政治回忆录通常起二个作用。其一：说明事实，以正视听；其二：对早年的失败或他人的成功进行解释，从而为自己的职业生涯进行辩护。在这部书中，David Lipsey不惜笔墨说明事实，但同时亦不乏自我辩护。
