Silence is unnatural to man.He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness.In the interval he does all he can to make a noise in the world,and there are few things of which he stands in more fear than of the absence of noise.Even his conversation is in great measure a desperate attempt to prevent a dreadful silence.He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly,but he longs to join the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure.The object of conversation is not,for the most part,to communicate ideas.It is to keep up the buzzing sound.There are,it must be admitted,different qualities of buzz:there is even a buzz that is as exasperating as the continuous ping of a mosquito.But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a mute .Most buzzing,fortunately,is agreeable to the ear,and some of it is agreeable even to the mind.He would be a foolish man,however,who waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
Those who despise the weather as a conversational opening seem to me to be ignorant of the reason why human beings wish to talk.Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new.Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears,though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they have had food in a Swiss hotel.At the end of evening during which they have said nothing at immense length,they are proud of themselves on their success as conversationalists.
先占坑,有时间了来翻译,呵呵.
