他说,关于这个世界的真相是,任何事情都有可能发生。如果你不是从出生起就目睹这一切,从而消解了它的陌生感,它就会以其本来面目呈现在你面前:一场医药表演中的帽子戏法,一场高烧中的梦,一场充满既无类比又无先例的幻象的恍惚,一个巡回嘉年华,一个迁徙的帐篷秀,在许多泥泞的场地多次搭台后,其最终目的地是无法言说且灾难性得无法估量的。
The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.
译文:甘愿受人欺辱,不一定是软弱无能的人;自认为聪明的人,终究是个糊涂人。赏析:韩信能忍胯下之辱,故能成就大业。对于我们普通的人来说,该忍让时就看淡,不必事事非得和别人计较。自认为聪明的人,永远活在自我的世界,他们高高在上,看不起任何人。可马也有失蹄,人也有失足的时候,一旦他们失势后,自然就会沦为他人的笑柄。
There are no facts, only interpretations.
应对不自由世界的唯一方法,就是变得如此绝对自由,以至于你的存在本身就是一种反抗。
