And then, it just goes on about something else,

但是这里他便接着写起其他的事情了
doesn't tell you what that phone call was.

而没有说明这通电话的内容
It was his father's assassination.

事实上这个电话里说的是他父亲之死
Like those absences in other parts of his writing,

正如同他常常在其他作品的写作中也隐去一其他些事情
I think this absence, this failure of any birth,

这种隐去的手法不予说明的手法
it marks a sort of vanishing point of art,

标志着某种艺术的消亡
that art somehow

某种程度上
can't quite compete with the real inventiveness of nature and of human persons.

这种艺术的创新性无法媲美自然和人性的创造性
He's going to try.

他想要尝试
He's going to try to give us a living prose,

尝试向读者呈现一篇有生命的作品
but this is the end against which it finds itself pressed.

但最终却受到了各方的施压
Next time, we're turning to a very different kind of writing,

下节课我们会讲到另一种不同的创作
