“我望著她,一望再望。我可以肯定,就像知道我必死一樣的肯定。我愛她,勝過這世間我能見到或想象到的一切。昔日的如花妖女,而今只??萑~歸鄉(xiāng),蒼白,混俗,臃腫,腹中懷著別人的骨肉。但我愛她。她可以褪色,可以萎謝,怎樣都可以。
但我只消望上她一眼,萬般柔情,涌上心頭。
I looked and looked at her, and I knew, as clearly as I know that I will die, that I loved her more than anything I had ever seen or imagined on earth. She was only the dead-leaf echo of the nymphet from long ago - but I loved her, this Lolita, pale and polluted and big with another man's child. She could fade and wither - I didn't care.
I would still go mad with tenderness at the mere sight of her face”
洛麗塔,我的生命之光,欲念之火。我的罪惡,我的靈魂。
