Snyder: I’m being told we’re running out of time. Thank you, Marshall McLuhan, for being with me this morning. I appreciated meeting you, and although at times I’ve had difficulty understanding your written word, it was easier listening to you than it is reading you.
斯奈德:有人告诉我我们时间快用完了。谢谢你,马歇尔·麦克卢汉,谢谢你今天上午跟我合作。我很高兴见到你,尽管有时候我很难理解你的书面文字,听你谈话比读你容易一些。
按:斯奈德一语道破:听麦比读麦容易。接触麦克卢汉可以分六步:一,麦氏参加的访谈或座谈,包括麦氏演讲之后的问答;二,麦氏的演讲;三,麦氏的书信;四;麦氏的散篇;五,麦氏与人合作的合著;六,麦氏本人的专著。
