"As far as I have had opportunity of judging, it appears to me that the usual style of letter-writing among women is faultless, except in three particulars."

"And what are they?"

"A general deficiency of subject, a total inattention to stops, and a very frequent ignorance of grammar."


                                        "Northanger Abbey", by Jane Austen




超愛這本書的,作者把她的損人功夫完全表露無疑啊。不同於Persuation或是Sense and Sensibility等書中內斂的批評,這本書中真是處處充滿大剌剌的嘲諷。

我想這種言詞溫和看似誇讚,其實是把對象損得一文不值的說法,才是最佳損人招術。
