文學(xué)作品無論是起源于夢境還是發(fā)端于現(xiàn)實，最后都必須和個人的經(jīng)驗相結(jié)合，才有可能變成一部優(yōu)秀作品。Whetherconceivedindreamorinreality,aliteraryworkmustbeintegratedwiththeexperiencesofindividualsbeforeitbecomesaworkofdistinction.12-1:文學(xué)創(chuàng)作OnLiteraryWriting

每個人心中都有一片地帶，正是文學(xué)家施展才華的廣闊天地。只要是準(zhǔn)確地、生動地描寫了這個充滿矛盾的朦朧地帶的作品，也就必然地具備了優(yōu)秀文學(xué)作品的品質(zhì)。Anundefinedterritoryexistsinthemindandheartofeveryperson.Itisinthisopen-endedterritorythataliterarywriterisrenderedfreedomtogivefullplaytohistalent.Aslongashisworkaptlyandvividlydescribesthisnebulous,massivelyconflictingterritory,itisboundtobeimbuedwithliteraryexcellences.12-1:文學(xué)創(chuàng)作OnLiteraryWriting我寫的還是人多命運與人的情感，人的局限與人的寬容，以及人為追求幸福、堅持自己的信念所做的努力與犧牲。Iwroteofman'sfateandemotions,man'slimitationsandtolerance,aswellasman'spursuitofhappinessandtheeffortsandsacrificeshemakestoupholdhisbelief.研討會:seminar文化沖突與融合:clashandfusionofcultures冷戰(zhàn)后期:inpost-ColdWarera文明圈:civilizationrim視而不見:turnablindeyeto對抗:formconfrontation信奉儒教和伊斯蘭教的國家:ConfucianandIslamiccountries引起摩擦:giverisetofriction:
