But sometimes he tricks me. For instance, when I was translating Soul Mountain I had a lot of trouble finding the names of the flowers. Finally, I just wrote him and asked him to draw pictures of what those flowers looked like. It turned out that he had invented them all!
不過他有的時候會「騙」我，以《靈山》來說，有一個很大的困難，就是翻譯花草的名字，最後沒有辦法了，只好給高行健寫封信，請他把這些花草的樣子畫給我，比較好查，結果，哈，他說那些花是他自己發明的！
