George Orwell. 《1984》DAY 8/20

Part2 Chapter3-4

文章的开始承接上一章的两个人的约会，快结束的时候，Julia展示出自己的机警的处事能力，

She became alert and business-like, put her clothes on, knotted the scarlet sash about her waist, and began arranging the details of the journey home. It seemed natural to leave this to her. She obviously had a practical cunning which Winston lacked, and she seemed also to have an exhaustive knowledge of the countryside round London, stored away from innumerable community hikes.

business-like有条理的

cunning 精巧的，巧妙的

“Never go home the same way as you went out,”这句话个人觉得很经典，醍醐灌顶

之后两人也有过约会，并且也讲到Julia的工作，主要负责running and servicing a powerful but tricky electric motor.

Traditionally,女孩子被认为很纯洁，然而Julia却用自己的行动表明自己是相反的，这让Winston想到与Katharine的生活，保守听话的Katharine认为男女之间的结合是对党的义务，这让Winston很厌烦
：禁欲不应该和政治扯上关系。

Winston提出租下Mr Charrington的房子，Julia欣然答应，包括之后再房子里吃到的真正的糖和咖啡，以及Julia的化妆，听到的有关押韵诗‘Oranges and lemons都让Winston觉得很满足，以至于文章最后出现The paperweight was the room he was in, and the coral was Julia’s life and his own, fixed in a sort of eternity at the heart of the crystal.这样的类比：Winston觉得Julia和自己是不忘初心的人，内心在如此浑浊的社会中还是保持着纯洁宁静，并且永恒。
