理查德·道金斯一直以来都是备受争议的人物。继《自私的基因》之后,他自传的第二部分也已经出版。本文作者卡罗尔·卡德瓦拉德(Carole Cadwalladr)写道,相比在推特上言辞好斗的形象,道金斯本人其实显得非常安静。英国最知名的无神论者低调得让人觉得有些诧异。公众面前的理查德·道金斯争强好胜、直言不讳、毫不留情;而私底下他的形象却完全不同。 Richard Dawkins has always been a controversial figure. Following the “selfish gene”, the second part of his autobiography has also been published. Carole Cadwalladr, the author of the article, writes that Dawkins himself is in fact very quiet compared to his aggressive image on Twitter. The low profile of the most famous atheist in Britain makes people feel a little surprised. The public face of Richard Dawkins victorious, bluff, mercilessly; and private under his image is completely different.
