问题 I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids—and I might even said to possess a mind. I am invisible; understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination—indeed, everything and anything except me.
Nor is my invisibility exactly a matter of a bio-chemical accident to my epidermis. That invisibility to which I refer occurs because of a peculiar disposition of the eyes of those with whom I come in contact. A matter of the construction of their inner eyes, those eyes with which they look through their physical eyes upon reality. I am not complaining, nor am I protesting either. It is sometimes advantageous to be unseen, although it is most often rather wearing on the nerves. Then too, you’re constantly being bumped against by those of poor vision. Or again, you often doubt of you really exist. You wonder whether you aren’t simply a phantom in other people’s minds. Say, a figure in a nightmare which the sleeper tried with all his strength to destroy. It’s when you feel like this that, out of resentment, you begin to bump people back. And, let me confess, you feel that way most of the time. You ache with need to convince yourself that you do exist in the real world, that you’re part of all the sound and anguish, and you strike out with your fists, you curse and swear to make them recognize you. And, alas, it’s seldom successful.(309 words)
选项
答案 我是一个看不见的人。不，我并不是缠着埃德加?爱伦?坡的幽灵，也不是好莱坞电影中神鬼的幻影。我是一个由物质构成的人，不但有血有肉，还有纤维和液体，甚至可以说还有思想。别人看不到我，你要明白，是他们不想看到我。就像你在马戏团表演中看到的没有身体只有脑袋的角色，好像我周围都是坚硬歪曲的玻璃。当人们走近我时，只会看到我的周围，看到他们自己，或者都是他们自己凭空想象的东西，的确，他们每样东西都能看得到，什么东西都能看得到，就是看不到我。 别人看不到我并不是因为我的皮肤表皮在生化问题上有什么变异。之所以会看不见，是因为和我交流的那些人的眼睛都很奇怪，他们内心眼睛的构造都有问题，内心的眼睛就是他们通过肉眼观察现实的眼睛。我不是在抱怨，也不是在抗议。尽管大多数情况下会烦躁不安，但有时别人看不到你也会有好处。但你经常会被那些视力不好的撞到。或者再说，你经常会怀疑自己是否真的存在。你也会有疑问，是不是在别人心目中你只是一个幽灵。比如可能是，睡梦中的人拼尽全力想要毁掉的那个梦魇中的人物。你有这种感觉时，出于愤怒，你会开始故意撞人。坦白说，大多数时间你都会有这种感觉。你急切地想要说服自己的确存在于这个真实的世界，说服自己是这嘈杂烦扰的一份子，你挥动拳头，咒骂着让他们认出你来。但是，唉，可惜从来没有成功过。
