When our Great Americans go, we know how to mourn them. Their lives were so grand, so architectural, infrastructural, awesome, admired, adventurous, outsize, so representative of some (or many) of this country’s ideals that the elegies come gushing. But there’s a Great American subset — where the adventure rocks the infrastructure and the life leaves a gash. Our Seismic Americans. That was O.J. Simpson. What’d he register? Almost a 9?
當我們偉大的美國人去世時，我們知道如何哀悼他們。 他們的生活如此宏偉，如此建築、如此基礎設施、令人敬畏、令人欽佩、富有冒險精神、規模宏大，如此代表了這個國家的一些（或許多）理想，以至於輓歌滔滔不絕。 但美國有一個子集——冒險活動震撼了基礎設施，生活留下了傷痕。 我們的地震美國人。 那是 O.J. 辛普森。 他註冊了什麼？ 差不多9分吧？

Nor is Pepys a particularly great prose stylist, certainly not by 17th-century standards, which prized cleverness and ornament.
The diary contains numerous set pieces -- such as the descriptions of the coronation of Charles II (where Pepys got so drunk he passed out and woke up in his own ''spew''), of the fire and the plague -- which he clearly took some time and trouble over. But there are great stretches that are written in, well, diaryese: up early and to work . . . away to My Lord So-and-So's . . . dine with Sir Such-and-Such . . . conversation with Mr. Somebody or other . . . was mighty merry . . . and so on, until at the end of a long day he closes with his trademark phrase ''and so to bed.''
Seven months until the first primaries, and 17 until Election Day, we have plenty of time for a national debate about the nation’s real challenges. Yet every Republican candidate is repeating the same platitudes (strengthen the military, lower taxes, and promote religious values) the GOP has been spewing for 35 years.
