![Never Let Me Go - [英] 石黑一雄](https://static.book345.com/covers/s/9781400078776.jpg)
From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day comes a devastating new novel of innocence, knowledge, and loss. As children Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside. It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were.
Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have reentered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special–and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together. Suspenseful, moving, beautifully atmospheric, Never Let Me Go is another classic by the author of The Remains of the Day

- "就只有那一次，我站在那里，望着那些莫名其妙的垃圾，感到来自那片旷野的风吹在我身上，我开始幻想一个小小的梦境，毕竟这里是诺福克，我失去他才只有两星期而已。我想着那些垃圾，树枝上翻飞的垃圾袋，围栏沿线如同海岸线一样挂住的各种东西，于是我半闭上眼睛，想象着就是在这个地方，我从童年时代起所有失去的一切都会被海水冲刷上岸，现在我就迎面站在这里，如果我等待得足够久，一个小小的身影就会出现在田野对面的天边，渐渐地越来越大，直到我认出那是汤米，他会朝我挥手，也许甚至会喊我。这幻想仅止于此——我不允许——尽管泪水从我脸上滚落，但我没有哭泣，也没有失控。"
- "“我总是想到在某个地方有条河，河水非常急。河水里有这么两个人，他们试图抓住彼此，竭尽一切可能紧紧地抓组对方，可是最终还是不行。水流实在太急了，他们没法不松开，分开漂走了。我想这就是我们现在的情形。真是可惜啊，凯西，因为我们一生彼此相爱。可是最终我们却不能永远在一起。”"
- "那天我看着你跳舞的时候，我看到了某样别的东西。我看到了一个新世界的迅速来临。更科学，更有效，是的，对于以往的疾病有了更多的治疗方式。那非常好，却又是一个非常无情和残忍的世界。我看到了一个小女孩，她紧闭双眼，胸前怀抱着那个仁慈的旧世界，一个她内心知道无法挽留的世界，而她正抱着这个世界恳求着：别让我走。"
- "“从我的世界观来看，我认为人们无论承受怎样的痛苦，无论遭遇怎样的悲惨经历，无论如何不自由，都会在命运的夹缝中求生，接受命运给予的一切。人们不懈奋斗，努力在如此狭小的生存空间内寻找梦想和希望。这类人始终比那些破坏体制、实施叛乱的人更令我感兴趣。”"
- "Looking back now, I can see we were pretty confused about this whole area around sex. That’s hardly surprising, I suppose, given we were barely sixteen. But what added to the confusion—I can see it more clearly now—was the fact that the guardians were themselves confused. On the one hand we had, say"
- "I say this, but the only real case I personally knew of like that was when Jenny C. and Rob D. got interrupted in Room 14. They were doing it after lunch, right there over one of the desks, and Mr. Jack had come in to get something. According to Jenny, Mr. Jack had turned red and gone right out agai"
- "Gay sex, incidentally, was something we were even more confused about. For some reason, we called it “umbrella sex”; if you fancied someone your own sex, you were “an umbrella.” I don’t know how it was where you were, but at Hailsham we definitely weren’t at all kind towards any signs of gay stuff. "
- "For all that, I’d been holding it off for ages, repeating to myself Miss Emily’s advice—“If you can’t find someone with whom you truly wish to share this experience, then don’t!” But around the spring of the year I’m talking about now, I started to think I wouldn’t mind having sex with a boy.
