I looked at my watch. Nine fifty-four. Time to go home and get your slippers on and play over a game of chess. Time for a tall cool drink and a long quiet pipe. Time to sit with your feet up and think of nothing. Time to start yawning over your magazine. Time to be a human being， a householder， a man with nothing to do but rest and suck in the night air and rebuild the brain for tomorrow.

—The Lady in the Lake， Novelist， Raymond Thornton Chandler

我看了眼手表，九點(diǎn)五十四分。是時(shí)候回家換上拖鞋，下上一盤棋了。是時(shí)候喝一大杯冷飲，靜靜地抽一斗煙了。是時(shí)候架起雙腿靜坐，放空大腦了。是時(shí)候看著雜志，打打哈欠了。是時(shí)候成為一個(gè)人，成為一家之主，成為一個(gè)無所事事，只是沉醉在夜色中休息，為明天養(yǎng)好神的人了。

——《湖中的女人》雷蒙德·桑頓·錢德勒，小說家
