Reviews

《夜色温柔》是一出温柔的悲剧，爱情如沙滩上的脚印，你以为很深，过去了就过去了，一点痕迹都留不下。尼克尔的表现正是一个长不大的孩子，结尾让人哭泣。 —— 读者心声

The world is not a prison house, but a kind of spiritual kindergarten, where millions of bewildered infants are trying to spell God with the wrong blocks.

—E.A. Robinson

Highlights

★She smiled, a moving childish smile that was like all the lost youth in the world.

她微笑，一个孩子般的动人微笑，就像全世界所丧失的青春都在那里面。

★One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. 人们常写道伤口结了疤，以皮肤的病理现象比喻一种心理状态，但是在一个人的生命里可没有这种事情，只有伤口，有时候会缩到才如针眼大，然而不结疤，仍是伤口。
