Thank you ALL!
To:BBW, C.Tran. - thank you for the interesting link! If the "笔尖" magazine given in the link is still available today, your suggestion would have been my choice.
To jyuan_us - it is intersting by reading the same material, we arrived at two opposite conclusions. I belieive the writer is very 'positive' about Ms. Gould. He has a deep respect and admirasion toward her. He is mourning over her recent death. I would even say he begins to miss her already! By the way, my audience is beyond Hongkong - thanks for pointing out the difference.

Explanation:
2 versions：

古尔德小姐的笔: 尖酸刻薄。

古尔德小姐: 尖酸刻薄的笔。


最好不用笔锋， 笔触这些词， 因为它们很positive， 有褒扬， 欣赏的connotation，与您的文章的立意不符。
如果译文面向香港读者， Gould可译为高， 其它地方的读者，还是更容易接受古尔德。
