s, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word.
一直是在夜裡——逮捕總是在晚上發生。突然從睡夢中驚醒,一雙粗魯的手在搖晃你的肩膀,炫目的燈光射進你的眼裡,床邊圍了一圈嚴酷的臉。在絕大多數情況下,沒有審判,沒有逮捕的報告。人們就這樣消失了,而且總是在夜裡消失。你登記冊上的名字會除掉,你所做過的所有事情的每一個記錄都會被抹去,你的存在被否認,然後被遺忘。你被鏟除了,被消滅了:“蒸發”是常用的詞彙。
