文本:[他]一生执笔讽人不倦，大部分小说只重气氛，忽视情节，有时还会做些投机取巧的勾当，比如在《丽姬娅》的开头，他随便杜撰一段话，加个破折号就说是约瑟夫·葛兰维尔的言论，十九世纪要是有搜索引擎，这家伙早就该被评论界拉出去游街了。”
翻译:
human
He focused his life on writing, but most of his novels only paid attention to atmosphere and ignored the plot. Sometimes, he resorted to dubious means to complete his work. For example, at the start of Ligeia, he copied a long paragraph and added a dash and said that it was a statement made by Joseph Glanvill. If there was a search engine in the 19th century, the man would have been dragged out to the street by his critics already."
