George Orwell. 《1984》DAY 10/20
Part2 Chapter8-undid the straps of the brief case
Wiston和Julial两人如约去见O’Brien了。
But merely to walk into such a place needed an effort of the nerve.需要鼓足勇气
The whole atmosphere of the huge block of flats, the richness and spaciousness of everything, the unfamiliar smells of good food and good tobacco, the silent and incredibly rapid lifts sliding up and down, the white-jacketed servants hurrying to and fro—everything was intimidating.
The passage down which he led them was softly carpeted, with cream-papered walls and white wainscoting, all exquisitely clean. That too was intimidating.
环境描写,衬托Winston紧张的心理
heavy face凝重的脸
Winston向O’Brien袒露了自己过来相见的原因,O’Brien也问了一些有关他们两人能够做的事情,但当问到两人是否能够分开,两人都say no ,可见两人是有人性的。
you will be full members of the Brotherhood.you will be fighting in the dark. You will always be in the dark.可见这次约见是有意义的,也意味着两人在黑暗中战斗着。
O’Brien向Winston和Julia说了加入兄弟会的艰辛的生活方式,两人并没有因此受到影响。
Winston was gelatinous with fatigue.疲劳的像凝胶一样。
All the blood and lymph had been drained out of him by an enormous debauch of work, leaving only a frail structure of nerves, bones, and skin.身体被繁重的工作压榨
On the sixth day of Hate Week,
was packed with人满为患
之后仍然是忙碌的准备工作,Winston也拿到了O’Brien要给的那本书,两人准备打开看。。。
