“Well, darkness is the absence of light, and the stupidity in that instance was the absence of me.”
黑暗是光的缺席,而那一回的愚蠢,是我的缺席。
拿「光的缺席」當階梯,把自己的缺席抬成同樣的大詞。傲慢到近乎優雅,也是全片對權力姿態最精彩的一句臺詞。
Darkness is the absence of light, and ... was the absence of me.
用同構的比喻把某個空缺說成自己的缺席時用,矜持而自負。
Darkness needs light, and that room needed me. / The problem was never light; the problem was my absence.
正式
the absence of light 平穩,the absence of me 放慢加重。
The silence wasn't empty; it was the absence of one good voice. 那片沉默不是空的,是少了一個好聲音。
