問題詳情

請依下文回答第 31 題至第 35 題:
         Public demands and cries for vengeance disguised as justice were rampant and harrowing. Signs,rallies in front of the courthouses, editorials—all seemed unassuageable by anything less than the culprit’sbeheading. T. Jackson joined the chorus but was not impressed by so facile a solution. What he wantedwas not the man’s death, but his life afflicted with remorse and pain without end. Wasn’t there a tribe inAfrica that lashed the dead body to the back of the one who had murdered it? That would certainly bejustice—to carry the rotting corpse around as a physical burden as well as public shame and damnation.The rage, the public clamor upon the conviction of the nicest man in the world, shook him as much as hisbrother’s death. The trial itself was not long but the preliminaries seemed eternal to him. Throughout thedays of newspaper headlines, talk radio and neighborhood gossip he struggled to find some way to freezeand individualize his feelings, to separate them from the sorrow and frenzied anger of other families. Hisbrother’s calamity, he thought, was not public fare to be confined to one line in a newspaper’s list of thefew victims. It was private, belonging only to the two brothers. Two years later, a satisfactory and calmingsolution came to him. Reenacting the gesture he’d made at his brother’s funeral, he had a small rosetattooed on his left shoulder. Was this the same chair the predator sat in, the same needle used on his paste-white skin? He didn’t ask. The tattoo artist didn’t have the dazzling yellow of his memory, so they settledfor an orangish kind of red.

公眾要求以正義為幌子進行報復的呼聲十分猖獗,令人痛心。跡象、法庭前的集會、討論,似乎都無法用斬首來解釋。傑克遜加入了合唱團,但對于如此簡單的解決方式卻都沒有留下深刻的印象。他想要的不是這個人的死,而是他的一生都充滿著無盡的悔恨與痛苦。非洲不是有一個部落把屍體綁在謀殺者身上嗎?帶著腐爛的屍體四處走動,作為一種身體負擔,以公眾的恥辱與詛咒,這當然是正義的。憤怒,就像世界上最善良的人被定罪後的公眾撻伐,就像他哥哥死一樣震撼著他。宇宙本身並不長,但初審對他來說像永恆的。在報紙頭條、廣告談話與鄰里閒聊的日子裡,他努力想找到某種方式來凍結和個性化他的感受。將這些感受與其他家庭的悲傷與瘋狂憤怒分開。他認為,他兄弟的災難並不是一份報紙上少數受害者名單的一行文字。這是私密的,僅數於兄弟倆。兩年後,他找到了一個令人滿意的平靜解決方式。他敬重他在哥哥喪禮上做的手勢,並在左肩紋上了一朵小玫瑰。這是犯案者坐的同一把椅子嗎?是不是在他蒼白的皮膚上用的同一根針?他沒有問。這位藝術家沒有他記憶中耀眼的黃色,所以他們選擇了紅色。
