The Mysterious Stranger 《神秘陌生人》 (1897-1910) * * * Features serious social commentary ideas of the Moral Sense and the damned human race“ Pessimism and desperate The name of the village Esel : donkey in German , can refer to a stupid or ignorant person So in essence it is a village of stupid people. “dorf”: village Eseldorf Satan or No. 44 an angel named after his uncle, the fallen Satan. handsome generous and beautifully dressed He had new and good clothes on, and was handsome and had a winning face and a pleasant voice, and was easy and graceful and unembarrased, not slouchy and awkward and diffident, like other boys. 他穿着一套质地非常好式样优雅的新衣服，长得星眸秀目，潇洒俊朗，他有一张令人无法抗拒的面容以及慑人心魄的声音，他还有落落大方、超凡脱俗的气质，高贵得令人自惭形秽。他神采奕奕，星眸流转，优雅脱俗的气质中透出出自内心的沉着镇定，以及超乎一切的自信。 Description of Satan A young man who was suspected of being a heretic(异教徒) was asked to confess to the charge(被逼招供犯罪), and he said he could not, for it was not true. Then he shrieked (尖叫) with the pain. Satan was not disturbed, but I felt faint(头晕的) and sick. I said it was a brutal thing(畜生的行径). “No, it was a human thing. You should not insult the brutes by such a misuse of that word; they have not deserved it,” “不对。你应该说这是人的行径，你不能因为自己乱用了一个词儿，玷辱了动物们的声名；它们的所作所为够不上你的这句谩骂,” 撒旦高能分割线 Fragment “And yet he is such an unreasoning creature that he is not able to perceive that the Moral Sense degrades him to the bottom layer of animated beings and is a shameful possession.” “瞧瞧这就是你们这种毫无理性可言的生物，你们根本没有办法领会到正是这种道德感才降低了你们的地位，堕落到比一般别的动物更为不耻的邪恶深渊的最底层，你们的这种虚伪的道德感的确是你们最可耻的印记。” 持续高能 * *
