I'm not saying that fiction has the magnitude of an earthquake, but when we are reading a good novel, we leave our small, cozy apartments behind, go out into the night alone and start getting to know people we had never met before and perhaps had even been biased against.
我不是说小说和地震有同样的震级。 但当我们读一篇好小说时， 这就好比我们会离开我们温馨舒适的小公寓， 晚上独自出门 去认识之前我们从未遇到的人们 或许那些我们心存偏见的人。
