对不起，她想。但是她什么也没说。我无法拯救您或其他任何人都不会黑暗。她想到了弗兰克。我想知道他是否已经死了。错误的话；说话不合时宜。不，她想。他不知何故喜欢JAPS。也许他与他们识别，因为他们丑陋。她总是告诉弗兰克，他很丑。大毛孔。大鼻子。她自己的皮肤很精细，这是不寻常的。他没有我死了吗？芬克是雀科，一种鸟的形式。他们说鸟儿死了。
(I'm sorry, she thought. But she said nothing. I can't save you or anybody else from being dark. She thought of Frank. I wonder if he's dead yet. Said the wrong things; spoke out of line. No, she thought. Somehow he likes Japs. Maybe he identifies with them because they're ugly. She had always told Frank that he was ugly. Large pores. Big nose. Her own skin was finely knit, unusually so. Did he fall dead without me? A fink is a finch, a form of bird. And they say birds die.)
