我正在读 Robert Caro 写的罗伯特·摩西传记《The Power Broker》，刚又重温了一遍王尔德的《A Portrait of Dorian Gray》。作为从穷困出身拼出来、算得上小有成就的雅皮士，这书真给我好好上了一课，让我意识到自己通过阶层跃升就一副自命不凡的蠢样有多……

奥斯卡·王尔德的《道林·格雷的画像》（Portrait of Dorian Gray）。我们每个人都会创造一个化身，来掩盖自己最丑恶的罪行。
the Portrait of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. We all create alter-egos that cover for our worst sins.
