  And that's the first way Nabokov will relate to literary modernism.
  这正是纳博科夫现代主义理念产生碰撞的第一个方面
• 
  
  That's quite interesting, that he takes this approach,
  这点非常有趣 他之所以用这种方法
• 
  
  because Eliot in some ways comes very close to the kind of ideas
  是因为艾略特对于艺术的某些观点
• 
  
  about art that Nabokov himself holds.
  和纳博科夫十分相似
• 
  
  Eliot says poems should be autotelic.
  艾略特认为诗歌应该是有目的性的
• 
  
  That means they should be an end unto themselves.
  也就是说诗歌应回归其本身
• 
  
  Nabokov will say in that afterword you're going to read,
  继续读下去不难发现纳博科夫也是这么说的
• 
  
  "the novel has as its only purpose to afford aesthetic bliss."
  小说的唯一目的是提供审美愉悦
• 
  
  So, the parody is of something very close to home.
  所以说滑稽模仿在本质上与这种艺术本质十分相似
• 
  
  And this poem that I've given you will come back on page 134.
  我刚读的这首诗 第一百三十四页
• 
  
  You don't have to turn to that now,
  现在不用翻到那页
• 
  
  but you should think about that return.
  但是你们得好好想想这点
