要是他知道在他这么多年职业生涯中有幸认识到的每一个男久、每一个女人必然要遭受的痛苦,知道每个人遗憾、失落、淡薄的痛苦故事,知道他们的害怕.惊慌、孤立.恐惧.要是他知道他们诀别的每一件最后的事物曾经都是他们最重要的.知道他们正如何有条不紊地遭受毁灭,他将守在电话机旁,从早到晚,不眠不休,至少再打100个电话。人生不是一场战斗,是一场大屠杀。——Philip Roth《Everyman》 If he knows every man who has been fortunate enough to realize in so many years of his career, every woman must suffer, knowing everyone’s regret, loss, light painful story, and their fear. If he knew that every last thing they had farewell had been their foremost, knowing how well they were doing something devastating, he would keep him on the telephone, from morning till night, at least 100 A phone call Life is not a battle, it is a massacre. --Philip Roth “Everyman”
