Danz uses this trick because were he to say, "I'm an ocularist," (pronounced ock-u-LAIR-ist), people would probably assume he was a doctor of some sort. ( . . . ) And if he said, "I make prostheses," which is the technical term for the eyes, people might envision him working in a plastic appendage factory, fashioning fake arms. Then again, if he said he made glass eyes, the best-known term for the prostheses, it would be incorrect on two accounts. First, the prostheses are no longer made of glass ( . . . ). Second, they aren't actually entire eyeballs, but rather concave acrylic shells that fit on top of the eye muscle ( . . . ) sort of like a bike helmet over a child's skull.

"People say, 'You have to look in eye sockets.' Well, I think there can be beauty in an eye socket. If the surgeon was good and there's good tissue in there, it can be beatutifu."
( . . . ) It occurred to me that if one were to design a litmus test for whether someone had found a calling, this could serve as it, in one easy question: do you see beauty in the details of your work?

I met, among others: ( . . . ); Claudette an African-American Pentecostal minister who, prior to coming into the office, had been preaching enthusiastically, unaware that she'd put in her eye upside down (the parishioners, Claudette, recounted, thought she'd really channelled the holy spirit on that day); ( . . . ) . Danz greeted each like a friend. With the help of a Polaroid--he snaps one of every patient--he says he can remember almost everyone he's ever worked on. "I feel like once I make a prosthesis for someone, I become part of their life," he told me in a rare moment of emotional analysis. "And they become part of mine."

■英語原文 The original text in English
Many a girl -- nearly all of them -- goes out into the streets from this penny and twopenny house, to get money for their favourite boys by prostitution. If the girl cannot get money she must steal something, or will be beaten by her 'chap' when she comes home. I have seen them beaten, often kicked and beaten until they were blind from bloodshot, and their teeth knocked out with kicks from boots as the girl lays on the
ground. The boys, in their turn, are out thieving all day, and the lodging-house keeper will buy any stolen provisions of them, and sell them to the lodgers. I never saw the police in the house. If a boy comes to the house on a night without money or sawney, or something to sell to the lodgers, a handkerchief or something of that kind, he is not admitted, but told very plainly, 'Go thieve it, then.' Girls are treated just the same.

彼は人類の進歩について悲観的だった――文明の築いた城など、たんなるバカの山。いつかは、それを造った当人たちの上に崩れ落ちてきて、彼らを滅ぼしてしまう。どうあがいたとしても。だとすると、人類の生きる道は、ただひとつ。崩れ落ちなどしないと自分たちをだましていくしかないのさ――と。しかし、わたしから見れば、未来はあいかわらず暗くて空っぽ。茫漠たる無知蒙昧(もうまい)だ。わずかに数か所だけ、気まぐれに照らし出されている。その明かりをともすのは追憶だ。彼のかたった物語の追憶が、照らし出しているのである。
Развивающаяся цивилизация представлялась ему в виде беспорядочного нагромождения материала, который в конце концов должен обрушиться и задавить строителей. Но если это и так, все же нам ничего не остается, как продолжать жить. Для меня будущее неведомо, полно загадок и только кое-где освещено его удивительным рассказом.

■英語原文 The original text in English
He, I know ( . . . ) thought but cheerlessly of the Advancement of Mankind, and saw in the growing pile of civilization only a foolish heaping that must inevitably fall back upon and destroy its makers in the end. If that is so, it remains for us to live as though it were not so. But to me the future is still black and blank--is a vast ignorance, lit at a few casual places by the memory of his story.
