Think of someone drawing a line and saying: on this side we can live together, and what you did is on the other side. Barbarism can be thought of as the name for whatever has been put on the far side of that line. That is why the word always carries a judgement, and why what it points at changes with who is holding the pen — a cruel act, a society that has stopped caring about art, or even a badly built word.
可以想成有人畫了一條線，然後說：線的這邊我們才能一起生活，而你做的事在另一邊。barbarism 就像是在替「被丟到線另一邊的東西」取名字。所以這個字永遠帶著評價。也因為線是人畫的，它指到的東西才會差那麼多：可以是殘忍的行為，可以是不再在乎藝術的社會，甚至可以是一個被認為造錯的字。
