misquotation

misquotation

1. Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely- read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.

引用文字时产生一些偏差实际上是一种受过教育的人的特权和骄傲。一个广泛阅读的人从来不会精确的引用一段文字,原因如此明显:他们所读太多。

2. This is more a problem of misattribution rather than misquotation.

这句与其说是错误引用,还不如说是张冠李戴。
