已故散文家、酒鬼克里斯托弗·希钦斯(Christopher Hitchens)有目的地结交了很多某种类型的朋友——富有、自以为是、头脑迟钝，因此很容易给一位能说会道的牛津剑桥辩手留下深刻印象——他让华盛顿特区的社会充满活力，主要是因为他不是一个毫无魅力的无聊人。
(Christopher Hitchens, the late essayist and sot, was a man who purposefully cultivated a lot of friends of a certain type - rich, self-important, generally dim-witted and hence easy for a well-spoken Oxbridge debater to impress - and he electrified Washington D.C. society mainly by not being a completely charmless bore.)
