doubleplusgood poem
1984里有很多很有意思的词，例如goodwise，duckspeak，thinkpol等等，虽然George Orwell写这本书的时候并没有显现出太多的语言驾御方面的天赋，（比起同年代的享有相同盛名的作家，他只能是这样），但他对词语的研究和对其发展的大胆假设，绝对不逊色于他人。每次阅读1984，都带给我全身心的愉悦。
欣闻〈奥威尔传〉已出版，贴一首他写过小诗，纪念一下这位伟大的作家（doufu心目中排名第一的作家。。。）。
Romance
When I was young and had no sense
In far-off Mandalay
I lost my heart to a Burmese girl
As lovely as the day.
Her skin was gold, her hair was jet,
Her teeth were ivory;
I said ‘For twenty silver pieces,
Maiden, sleep with me.’
She looked at me, so pure, so sad,
The loveliest thing alive,
And in her lisping, virgin voice,
Stood out for twenty-five.
1925
