#Simulacrum 这个故事看得我有点伤心，母亲已经原谅了父亲出轨，但是女儿没有，有一点我的影子…
“he has committed his share of sins, the same as any man.” 这句话直译过来就是“他不过是犯了天下男人都会犯的错”吧。

“I finally understood why for so long they had haunted my dreams. It is the way a simulacrum replicates the essence of the subject that makes it so compelling. When my father kept those simulacra of his women around, he maintained a connection to them, to the man he was when he had been with them, and thus committed a continuing emotional betrayal that was far worse than a momentary physical indiscretion. A pornographic image is a pure visual fantasy, but a simulacrum captures a state of mind, a dream. But whose dream? What I saw in his eyes that day was not sordid. It was too intimate.”

“Your father misses you. He’s not perfect, and he has committed his share of sins, the same as any man. But you have let that one moment, when he was at his weakest, overwhelm the entirety of your life together. You have compressed him, the whole of his life, into that one frozen afternoon, that sliver of him that was most flawed. In your mind, you traced that captured image again and again, until the person was erased by the stencil.”
