英语翻译
He had a genius for making enemies.He would insult a man who disagreed with him about the weather.He would pull endless wires in order to meet some man who admired his work and was able and anxious to be of use to him — and would proceed to make a mortal enemy of him with some idiotic and wholly uncalled for exhibition of arrogance and bad manners.A character in one of his operas was a caricature of one of the most powerful music critics of his day.Not content with burlesquing him,he invited the critic to his house and read him the libretto aloud in front of his friends.
