看到一個段落我很喜歡: ……Cops see too much death and squalor, and in order to go on dealing with it they often have the need to dehumanize the dead. I remember the first time I helped remove a corpse from a room in an RSO hotel. The deceased had died vomit -ing blood and had lain there for several days before his death was discovered. A veteran patrolman and I wrestled the corpse into a body bag and on the way downstairs my companion made sure the bag hit every single step. He'd have been more careful with a sack of potatoes. I can still recall the way the hotel's other residents looked at us. And I can remember how my partner went through the dead man's belongings, scooping up the little cash he had to his name, counting it deliberately and dividing it with me. I hadn't wanted to take it. "Put it in your pocket," he told me. "What do you think happens to it otherwise? Somebody else takes it. Or it goes to the state. What's the State of New York gonna do with 44 dollars? Put it in your pocket, then buy yourself some perfumed soap and try to get this poor fucker's stink off your hands." I put it in my pocket. Later on, I was the one who bounced bagged corpses down the stairs, the one who counted and divided their leavings. Someday, I suppose, it'll come full circle, and I'll be the one in the bag. 大意是說，因為警察一天到晚都要處理屍體，基於一種心理防禦機轉，他們會不把那些受害者當人看(類似PTSD之中，漠然以對的那種態度。比如被強暴的人之後複述過去那段不堪的回憶時，會說得事不關己，像是在講別人的故事一樣。) 在拖屍袋的時候會刻意去碰撞階梯，好像比一袋馬鈴薯還不值。還會把屍體搜刮一頓，反正他身上的錢不是被下一個經手的人拿走就是被充公，把錢拿了，起碼可以去買塊香皂把手上的屍臭洗掉。(有種：我幫你處理後事，處理這些又是血又是糞的，還遭受了精神創傷，拿你一點錢也不為過吧的意味在 :p 說得也是阿，死人既不會致謝，也無法抗議，還是留給活人作主吧) 最後一段說，Matt自己也開始步上了當初教他這麼做的警官的後塵，好像是一種循環一樣，從一開始不拿死者的遺物，小心翼翼抬屍袋 =>到自己也跟著這麼做，甚至把這種行為模式傳承下去 => 到最後，說不定某一天會輪到他自己躺在屍袋裡面看到最後一句真的有種毛骨悚然的感覺...很無奈，很現實，很殘酷阿我本身又是個想很多，很無法面對死亡的人，看到這句話真的是五味雜陳.....不知道該怎麼說或許這就是為什麼我無法成為作家吧 :p 比較起來，Matt系列還是沈重多了。密探Tanner系列根本就在搞笑，殺手系列其實還滿無厘頭的雅賊系列既無厘頭又搞笑看這三個系列都可以很開懷，很放空唯獨Matt系列每次看了就會變得很鬱卒 /_\ (沒辦法，誰叫他是個酒鬼又有創傷，想法負面一點也是理所當然 :p) -- 《It was, he noted, a two-and-a-half-car garage, which was handy, he thought, if you happen to have two and a half cars.》 □■Hit List■□ by Lawrence Block -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.32.239.117
