我们与他们(你错了，康拉德先生)

在这个国家内保持正常是不可能的，假装若无其事更是一件不可饶恕的罪行。批判性知识分子认为自己是一个单独的阵营：后面有警察穷追不舍的我们，对抗作为主流心态的承载者、因而不受警察影响的他们。人们出版了各种各样的对我的攻击，但我既不回应，也不写任何攻击文章。我从来不能理解他们的敌意从何而来。人需要最大限度的自律和幽默感才能不发疯。
It was impossible to be normal here at home, and putting a good face on it was an unpardonable offense在这里是不可能正常的 一张好脸是不可原谅的冒犯. The critical intelligentsia saw itself as a separate camp: us, with the police on our trail, versus them,我们，带着警察盯梢的尾巴，对他们 bearers of the prevailing mindset and therefore police-free. People published all sorts of attacks on me, but I neither responded nor penned any of my own. I could never understand where their hostility came from. It took the utmost self-discipline and sense of humor to keep from going mad. 需要有极致的自律和幽默感才能让自己不发疯
