一方急切地希望对方了解自己的初衷,另一方却只从自己的角度来定义谎言的结果。王尔德说过,“人在亲自说话时,他几乎不是他自己。给他一个面具,他就会跟你说实话”。当我沉醉于施林克的《夏日谎言》,恍然发现书中围绕“谎言”而书写的7个小故事,其实无一不在叙写和揭露更多的“真实”。或许只有在谎言这一面具之后,才能留存更多生活的真实与人性的真相。 One side desperately wants each other to understand their original intention while the other side only defines the result of lies from their own point of view. Wilde said, “When a person is talking in person, he is hardly himself. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth.” When I indulge in Schlinke’s “Summer Lies,” I suddenly realize that the seven little stories written in the book around “lies” are in fact describing and revealing more “truths.” Perhaps the truth of the real and human life of more lives can be preserved only after the mask of lies.
