求下面这句话的出处,以及是谁说的?
“Unlike my parents,I translate not so much to survive in the world around me as to create and illuminate a non-existent one.Fiction is the foreign land of my choosing,the place where I strive to convey and preserve the meaningful.And whether I write as an American or an Indian,about things American or Indian or otherwise,one thing remains constant:I translate,therefore I am.”
