(请原谅我在这里半中半英。自觉翻译能力不好，所以索性就将原文录上。或许有哪位翻译高手能帮忙翻译一下，若是感兴趣的话。:-))

先说句题外话吧。现在挑书看，都采用以下方法。先随便翻开一处，花5分钟左右，看那本书能不能吸引自己看下去。若不能的话，再翻到另外一处，再花五分钟，看能不能读下去。若是不能的话，马上放弃。时间太少，无谓强迫自己做不喜欢的事，或看不喜欢的书。虽然也因此错过很多大名鼎鼎的书，但真的不愿再强迫自己。

所以，那天在书店里看到 Jay Ann Krentz (JAK) 的 Light in Shadow, 也是这样懒懒的，随手翻。

结果，一翻开就是 (p.48):

’How does it feel, Harry Stagg, to sell your souls for a bunch of bastards who probably can’t even remember your last name and who can not care less if you have a heart attack or have a car crash tomorrow because they know that you can be replaced in five minutes?’

’It is a living.’

觉得一下子便被击中心口。再翻开另外一处 (pp266-7):

’I have read somewhere that everywhere marriage is based on certain unwritten ground rules...Those rules are private, usually unspoken, and understood only by the people involved. For some, an affair would be hurtful but not a complete deal-breaker, if you see what I mean.’

’Because faithfulness was not one of the bedrock rules of that marriage?’

’Yes. Maybe there are other factors that are more crucial in that particular relationship...’

’But for you, faithfulness is one of the unbreakable ground rules, is that it?’

’Yes...For me, trust has to be at the heart of a relationship. Without it, none of the rest of it matters...’

看至这里，我已经知道，这会是自己喜欢的书。(明天再说。)
