有人说毒舌分两种,有些人毒舌是因为自己不爽,还有些人毒舌是为了让自己爽。而王尔德就是第二种人。

现在人人都标榜毒舌,然而许多人的毒舌都只是没有营养的无脑喷。

号称腐国第一毒舌的王尔德,在他短短46年的传奇人生里,留下了无数惊世骇俗又逼格甚高的妙句,其中不少是他作品中人物的话。如果他活在今天,就算不写作品,也绝壁是段子手里段位最高的。

他嘲讽他的敌人,“要原谅你的敌人,没有什么事比这更让他们抓狂的了。”

他也嘲讽他的朋友。“我不想去天堂,我的朋友都不在那里。”

他嘲讽平庸的人,几乎不给人留任何活路。

他说,“努力不过是无事可做的人的避难所。”

“只有无聊的人才会把早餐吃出花样来。”

“只有浅薄的人才了解自己。”

“糟糕的画家总是欣赏彼此的作品。”

但是他同样不喜欢优秀的人。“一个优秀的人没有敌人,但他的朋友也没有一个喜欢他。”

他嘲讽悲观主义者。“借钱就要向悲观主义者借,因为他们不会期待你还钱。”

他嘲讽好为人师的人。“对于建议,你所能做的,就是把它转送给别人,建议从来就不是给自己准备的。”

他嘲讽时尚,这句话即使放在今天,也是又尖锐又时髦:“时尚总是丑得难以容忍,所以每隔六个月我们都只好改一次。”

如今段子手们还在玩的梗,他100多年前就用过了。“我年轻时以为金钱是世界上最重要的东西,等到老了才知道,原来真的是这样。”

他嘲讽美国人。“美国是唯一一个直接从野蛮进入颓废、中间没有经过文明阶段的社会。”

他看不起和他同时代的人,他说:“死亡和庸俗是十九世纪仅有的无法用巧辩逃避的东西。”

他问:“为什么我会和这样一些人生活在同一个时代?”

他也看不起庸俗的大众。“公众惊人地宽容。他们可以原谅一切,除了天才。”

他说,“每次人们赞同我的时候,我都觉得自己一定错了。”

他不相信爱情。他说,“人生就是一件蠢事追着另一件蠢事而来,而爱情则是两个蠢东西追来追去。”

……

以下是他的毒舌语录,感觉看完自己嘴皮子都利索了。

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated.

在美的作品中发现丑恶含义的人是堕落的,而且堕落得一无可爱之处。这是一种罪过。在美的作品中发现美的含义的人是有教养的。这对他们来说是希望。认为美的作品仅仅意味着美的人才是上帝的选民。书无所谓道德的或不道德的。书有写得好的或写得糟的。仅此而已。
