I feel often that we don't have the right language to talk about emotions in disasters. Everyone is on edge, of course, but it also pulls people away from a lot of trivial anxieties and past and future concerns and gratuitous preoccupations that we have, and refocuses us in a very intense way.

  • -- Rebecca Solnit 索尔尼

我经常觉得我们没有正确的语言来谈论灾难中的情绪。当然,每个人都处于紧张状态,但它也把人们从许多琐碎的焦虑、过去和未来的担忧以及我们拥有的不必要的关注中抽离出来,并以一种非常强烈的方式重新集中我们的注意力。
