全书摘录

April 4-Miss Kinnian says Im learning fast. She read some of my progress
reports and she looked at me kind of funny. She says Im a fine person and I'llshow them all. I asked her why.She said never mind but I shouldnt feel bad
if I find out that everybody isnt nice like I think.She said for a person
who God gave so little to you did more than a lot of people with brains they
never even used.I said that all my friends are smart people and their good.They like me and they never did anything that wasnt nice. Then she got
something in her eye and she had to run out to the ladys room.
oh Alice. Alice对Charlie的爱真的让人动容和惋惜
And so it went.Most of them felt the way Joe and Frank and Gimpy did. It had been all right as long as they could laugh at me and appear clever at myexpense, but now they were feeling inferior to the moron. I began to see that by my astonishing growth I had made them shrink and emphasized their inadequacies. I had betrayed them,and they hated me for it.
There was nothing more to say, to her or to the rest of them.None of them
would look into my eyes. I can still feel the hostility. Before,they had
laughed at me, despising me for my ignorance and dullness; now,they hated me for my knowledge and understanding. Why?What in God's name did they want of me?
"Look at him!"Rose screams."He can't learn to read and write,but he knowsenough to look at a girl that way.I'll beat that filth out of his mind."
"He can't help it if he gets an erection.It's normal.He didn't do
anything."
"He's got no business to think that way about girls.A friend of his
sister's comes to the house and he starts thinking like that!I'll teach him
so he never forgets.Do you hear?If you ever touch a girl,I'll put you awayin a cage,like an animal,for the rest of your life.Do you hear me?..."
I realize now that my feeling for Alice had been moving backward against thecurrent of my learning,from worship.to love,to fondness,to a feeling of gratitude and responsibility.My confused feeling for her had been holding meback,and I had clung to her out of my fear of being forced out on my own,and cut adrift.
But with the freedom came a sadness.I wanted to be in love with her.I
wanted to overcome my emotional and sexual fears,to marry,have children,settle down.
Rose对儿子的爱真是变态又畸形
But there were other kinds of papers too-P.T.Zellerman's study on the
difference in the length of time it took white rats to learn a maze when the
corners were curved rather than angular,or Worfel's paper on the effect of intelligence level on the reaction-time of rhesus monkeys.Papers like these made me angry.Money,time,and energy squandered on the detailed analysis of the trivial.Burt was right when he praised Nemur and Strauss for devoting themselves to something important and uncertain rather than to something insignificant and safe.
科研是这样的hhhh 真实
I half expected to bear him boom
out:Laideezzz and gentulmennnnnn. Step right this way and see the side show! An act never before seen in the scientific world! A mouse and a moron turned into geniuses before your very eyes!
根本没有吧Charlie当成一个人看，即使变成天才之后，更不用说之前是retarded时。
I wasn't his son. That was another Charlie. Intelligence and knowledge hadchanged me,and he would resent me-as the others from the bakery resentedme-because my growth diminished him. I didn't want that.
全书最可惜的地方之一。我觉得charlie父亲虽然软弱，但是是真的爱他并且懂得爱的。认出之后一定不会觉得自己被超越贬低，但也许也不会因为charlie变成天才而兴奋，也许会因为多年之后见到儿子、并且认为他能像其他普通人一样生活而欣喜。
