你知道吗,我的手臂从肘部以上一定是青一块紫一块的,因为我今天掐了自己好多次了。每隔一段时间,一种可怕的、令人作呕的感觉就会袭上心头,我担心这只是一场梦。然后我会掐自己一下,看看这是否是真的——直到我突然想起,即使这只是一个梦,我也最好尽可能长时间地做梦;所以我不再捏了。
(Do you know, my arm must be black and blue from the elbow up, for I've pinched myself so many times today. Every little while a horrible sickening feeling would come over me and I'd be afraid it was all a dream. Then I'd pinch myself it see if it was real- until suddenly I remembered that even supposing it was only a dream I'd better go on dreaming as long as I could; so I stopped pinching.)
