So, that suggests that it's not all to the good;

它表明这不一定一切都是好事
it hasn't been saved by taking up these knight's move techniques,

采用跨越式手法这种特别的手法
the defamiliarizing techniques; there's still a record of damage.

起不到什么作用还是有某种损坏的记录
And so, I'm going to end a little early, just throwing out an analogy for you.

我想早点下课留个类比的问题给你们去思考
And it's an analogy

这是之后纳博科夫一直试图彻底批判的
that Nabokov himself tries to debunk completely in that afterword.

一个类比
So, you should be skeptical of it, but then you should also ask yourself

你们要对此持怀疑态度同时也应该
whether you can really do completely without it.

问问自己是否能够独立完成
Might it be that Nabokov's own relationship to American culture,

这可能是纳博科夫自身与美国文化之间的联系
his relationship to the English language that he transforms,

他与努力改变的与英语之间的关系
is like Humbert's relationship to Lolita;

就像亨伯特与洛丽塔的关系
that is, might it be that it's a kind of kidnapping of an American innocent

也就是以见多识广的欧洲人为自我目标
