亚历克斯,无论醉酒还是清醒,都没有区分白天和晚上的时间,也没有他熟悉的操作,因为他的工作没有夜晚和白天。办公室里只有荧光灯管发出的平面光,从不关门。
(Alex, drunk or sober, made no distinction between the hours of day and night, nor did the operations he knew so well, for there was no night and day where his work was concerned. There was only the flat light of fluorescent tubes in offices that never closed.)
