萨尔瓦多(R. A. Salvatore)名言

I loved to read and to write, but then something happened. As I made my way through school, I kept getting handed books to read that didn't excite me and didn't even remotely connect to the realities of my life.

我喜欢阅读和写作，但是后来发生了一些事情. 在我上学的过程中，我不断获得书籍阅读，这并没有使我感到兴奋，甚至都无法与我的生活现实相联系.

The most common criticism I've seen is that I write 'popcorn fantasy:' lightweight action-adventure. Some people call it that as they explain why they love it for exactly that reason. I'm cool with that, either way. I just nod and let it go.

我见过的最常见的批评是我写了“爆米花幻想：”轻量级的动作冒险. 有人在解释为什么出于这个原因爱它时称呼它. 无论哪种方式，我都很酷. 我只是点头，放手.

This little hobbit saves the world. The wizard kills the dragon and saves the town. So many people connect to that character; it doesn't matter if it's an elf or a hobbit or a dwarf. It doesn't matter. They're human in their heart and soul.

这个小霍比特人拯救了世界. 巫师杀死了龙并拯救了城镇. 如此多的人与这个角色联系在一起. 不管是精灵，霍比特人还是矮人. 没关系 他们是内心深处的人.
