传人兄所言大善 --- 文字小偷在古罗马的时候就和暴露狂心态有关联……

文字偷儿不是现在才有；被偷的不止缪咏华女士的《巴黎文学散步地图》；此文字偷儿和暴露狂心态的关联也不是孤立现象

有古罗马诗人马提亚尔（Martial）写给偷他诗作的文字偷儿 Fidentinus 的短诗之一为证：

Nostris versibus esse te poetam,
Fidentine, putas cupisque credi?
Sic dentata sibi videtur Aegle
Emptis ossibus Indicoque cornu;
Sic quae nigrior est cadente moro,
Cerussata sibi placet Lycoris.
Hac et tu ratione qua poeta es,
Calvus cum fueris, eris comatus.

（Martial, I, LXXIII）

现成的英文翻译：

Is it by borrowing my verses, Fidentinus, that you think yourself a poet, and would have it believed ? So Aegle imagines she has teeth when she has purchased bone and ivory ;  so she who is blacker than a falling mulberry, Lycoris, fancies herself when plastered with white lead. On this principle that makes you too a poet you will be well thatched when you are bald.

(Trans Walter C.A. Ker)
