变色龙 大卫·奥尔 在英雄人物的群体中孤零零 他败在了要让生活保持平稳。 坚强力量的人,人类中的鲨鱼——他们都知道 要在均等的同时掌控自己的全部生活, 双胞胎各自分开 像一枚硬币忍受着自己的两面被检查。
还没有那么能变色。 他有太多事情需要算计,还被指望着 去成就太多事。当他回到现实的不幸, 这大概就是不可避免, 他的身体被俯瞰多时, 还被嗜好的力量强行
压入那付杀死他的皮囊中。 ——选自《纽约客》2012年2月6日刊
THE CHAMELEON
Alone among the superheroes, He failed to keep his life in balance. Power Man,The Human Shark——they knew To hold their days and nights in counterpoise, Their twin selves divided together, As a coin bears with case its two faces.
Not so The Chameleon.He was
Too many things to count,and was counted on To be too many things.When he came to grief, As was perhaps inevitable, His body was overlooked for hours, Having been pressed by force of habit
Into the likeness of what had killed him.
——David Orr
