　　中文原文：

　　止謗莫如自修

　　張恨水先生曾寫過一篇《為人應(yīng)當(dāng)接受批評》，他說：“生平很少和人打筆墨官司，就是人家指出我的名姓來教訓(xùn)一頓，我也不曾回復(fù)一個(gè)字。這樣做，我并非怯懦，也并非過分的容忍。我有個(gè)感想，我錯(cuò)了，止謗莫如自修。我不錯(cuò)，最好借事實(shí)來答復(fù)。這是一個(gè)辦法，也許不適合他人，但至少我自己，在做人上糾正了不少錯(cuò)誤。而三十年來的寫作生涯，略有寸進(jìn)，一大半也就是根據(jù)別人的批評而得的。” 恨水先生對待批評的態(tài)度，很值得當(dāng)今文化人學(xué)習(xí)。

　　參考譯文：

　　Mr.Zhang Henshui once wrote up A Man Should Accept Criticisms. In this article, he said, "I seldom deliver paper arguments with people and even write a single word in retort when someone launches a criticism by mentioning my name.

　　Neither does this mean that I am weak, nor over tolerant. I think if I did something wrong, the better way to against defaming is to do self-examination; if it's not my fault, I'd rather air my opinions based on the fact. This may be not practical for other people, but at least it helps me a lot on behaving myself. During the life of my over thirty years writting, some progress I have made mostly benefits from others' criticisms."

　　Mr.Zhang's attitude to criticism is well worthy of intellectuals’ following.
