One essay Jacques Derrida submitted on Shakespeare, written in English, received a 10 out of 20. The feedback from Derrida’s instructor will sound very familiar to perplexed readers of his work. “Quite unintelligible,” writes the evaluator in one marginal comment. The main comment at the top of the paper reads in part:
In this essay you seem to be constantly on the verge of something interesting but, somewhat, you always fail to explain it clearly. A few paragraphs are indeed totally incomprehensible.
德里达提交的一篇关于莎士比亚的英文论文,得了10/20的分数。老师的评语是,“你似乎总能贴到某些有趣东西的边儿,但又总是无法清晰地将其展开,有些段落甚至是完全无法理解的。”
