Hannibal Lecter: ALife. By Brian Raftery.

《汉尼拔·莱克特的一生》,布莱恩·拉夫特里著。

The mostcompelling villains embody an unnerving duality: they attract almost as much asthey repel.

最有魅力的反派角色身上总有一种令人不安的矛盾特质:他们散发的吸引力几乎与令人厌恶的程度相当。

From the momentHannibal Lecter appeared in "Red Dragon", a psychological-horrornovel of 1981, readers were captivated by the character.

自从汉尼拔·莱克特在1981年心理惊悚小说《红龙》中登场的那一刻,读者便对这个角色深深着迷。

Since then, thepsychiatrist-turned-cannibal has featured in three more novels, five films anda TV series.

从那以后,这位由精神科医生变成食人魔的角色又出现在三本小说、五部电影、一部电视剧中。

In a new bookBrian Raftery tries to explain the antihero's grisly allure: what is it aboutLecter that proves so delectable?

布莱恩·拉夫特里在一本新书中试图剖析这位反英雄的恐怖魅力:莱克特身上究竟有何特质令人如此着迷?

Mr Raftery's bookoffers a range of answers, not all of them convincing.

拉夫特里的书提供了一系列答案,但是并非所有都令人信服。

Lecter's terrorcomes "not from the way he indulges his dark urges-but in the way he'llexpose you to your own".

比如,莱克特的恐怖之处“不在于他如何放纵自己的黑暗欲望,而在于他会如何让你直面你自己的黑暗欲望”。
