Our era is probably much more religious than the eighteenth century ever was. To invoke Voltaire is one thing, I thought at the time, but to act responsibly may presuppose refraining from insulting what is most sacred to others, whether it be Christ, Muhammad, or the Shoah.
我们的时代也许比十八世纪以来的任何时候都更加讲宗教。我想，在十八世纪，引用伏尔泰是一回事，但负责任地行动必须以克制不冒犯其他人最珍视的东西为前提，不管这个东西是基督、穆罕默德还是大浩劫（Shoah）。
