Quotation - 牙痛的呻吟

"I had a toothache for a whole month; I know there is. Here, of course, one does not remain silently angry, one moans; but these are not straightforward moans, they are crafty moans, and the craftiness is the whole point. These moans express the pleasure of the one who is suffering; if they did not give him pleasure, he wouldn't bother moaning."

"我曾經牙痛整整一個月，因為我瞭解這種東西。當然，在這種例子中，人的惡意並不表現於沈默，而是表現於呻吟；但這種呻吟並不發乎自然，而是出自惡意；惡意是他的一切。受苦者的樂趣在這種呻吟之中得到了發洩；假如找不到樂趣，他就不會呻吟。"
