City, in a firehouse pletely swamped with the rare moments when we weren39。t busy, I would make calls on our cordless phone handset or rush to our office to read Captain Gray39。s subscription of the Sunday New York one afternoon when I finally read the Book Review section, my blood began to article stated a thesis I took to be an offensive insult: William Butler Yeats, the Nobel Prizewinning light of the Irish Literary Renaissance, had risen above his Irishness and was now a universal grew indignant suddenly, and a deepseated passion within me was 30 歲，是紐約市的一名消防員，我工作的消防站總是不斷有求助電話進來。偶爾在我們不忙的時候，我會打打無繩電話，或是到辦公室，看看格雷隊長訂的《紐約時報》周日版。一天下午晚些時候，當(dāng)我最后讀到書評欄時，我開始血液沸騰。一篇文章提出了一個在我看來帶有侮辱性的觀點：，即點亮愛爾蘭文學(xué)復(fù)興之光的人，已經(jīng)超越了其愛爾蘭身份，是一名世界性的詩人。我突然感到憤怒，內(nèi)心深處一種激情也被激發(fā)起來。There were few things I was more proud of than my Irish ancestors were Catholic Irish farmers, fishermen and bluecollar workers, all of whom were patrons of the time my family came ashore on Ellis Island and faced the threat of being deported, we have fought discrimination against Irish since I first picked up a book of his poems, Yeats had been my favorite wrote his poetry in close adherence to his Irish life was, in essence, a tribute to his 。我的祖先是信仰天主教的愛爾蘭人，他們做過農(nóng)夫、漁民和藍領(lǐng)工人，但是他們所有人都熱愛文學(xué)。從我的家族登上埃利斯島、面臨被驅(qū)逐的威脅那一刻起，我們就一直在反抗對愛爾蘭移民的歧視。自從我第一次拿起葉芝的詩集開始，他就一直是我最喜歡的作家。他創(chuàng)作的詩中有著深深的愛爾蘭情懷。實際上，他的一生都在贊頌祖國。所以，不管是從心理的、社會的還是文學(xué)的角度，認為愛爾蘭的身份是能夠超越的，都是一種侮辱。我感覺自己繼承的身份就像是成了法庭上的被告，我別無選擇，只能保護它并譴責(zé)這樣一種過時的偏見。So, it was offensive to think Irishness, no matter if it was psychological, social or literary, was something to rise felt like my heritage was a defendant at a tribunal, and I had no choice but to protect it and denounce such an outdated ，全身顫動，于是抓起了一張干凈的紙，那張紙的頂部印有紐約市消防局的標志。我開始給《周日書評》欄目的編輯寫信，表達我的憤怒。我把葉芝描述為他本來的樣子，即無論從行為還是從作品來看，他都是地地道道的愛爾蘭作家。Vibrating with agitation, I grabbed a piece of clean paper, one that had the logo of the Fire Department of the City of New York across the began a letter, trumpeting my indignation to the editor of the Sunday Book Review, describing Yeats as he was: a writer fundamentally Irish in all he did and （至少是僅次于荷馬和莎士比亞的詩人），使其免于被“起訴”，或者為什么我要撰文捍衛(wèi)愛爾蘭文學(xué)。我只知道我必須寫那封信，就像牧師必須禱告，或者音樂家必須演奏樂器一樣。Until that point in my life I hadn39。t written much of valuethe article titled “Fireman Smith” provided the impetus for a large publishing pany to request a manuscript about my ，但是到目前為止卻很少被寫過。起初我很困惑，對于自己是否有能力寫一本完整的書沒有多少信心。所以，我開始一點一點地寫，一次寫一部分。很快，我對整本書有了基本的結(jié)構(gòu)和框架。這本書最終賣出了 200 萬冊，并被譯成了 12 種語言。在接下來的幾年中，我又寫了 3 本暢銷書，去年還出版了一本自傳。Being a writer had been far from my
