給朋友挑戰:典出何處

HC簡評此翻譯本:內文翻譯或許還可以 可是譯注太少 舉第一章第2段為例 至少要加兩注

Indeed, the literature on romanticism is larger than romanticism itself, and the literature defining what it is that the literature on romanticism is concerned with is quite large in its turn. There is a kind of inverted pyramid. It is a dangerous and a confused subject, in which many have lost, I will not say their senses, but at any rate their sense of direction. It is like that dark cave described by Virgil, where all the footsteps lead in one direction; or the cave of Polyphemus — those who enter it never seem to emerge again. It is therefore with some trepidation that I embark upon the subject.

「兎に角／とにかく」甚少被寫成漢字，而這個漢字的來源與佛教用語「兎角亀毛」有關。無論是兔角或者是龜毛，都是不存在的東西，用來比喻世上沒有和無中生有的意思。
