一个男人为什么哭?他想知道。不像女人不是为此。不是为了情感。一个人为失去某事,活着的东西而哭泣。一个男人可以为自己知道不会做到的病动物哭泣。孩子的死:一个男人可以为此哭泣。但不是因为事情是可悲的。
(Why does a man cry? he wondered. Not like a woman; not for that. Not for sentiment. A man cries over the loss of something, something alive. A man can cry over a sick animal that he knows won't make it. The death of a child: a man can cry for that. But not because things are sad.A man, he thought, cries not for the future or the past but for the present.)
