stretched towards me two bare arms, raised one knee"--

朝我伸出两只光胳膊还提起一条腿
"her gemmed hair"--

她缀满水珠的头发
takes that rain, and ossifies it,

以这里的雨水凝结
makes it lapidary, turns it to stone in the aquamarine,

变成宝石一块海蓝色宝石
and puts it on a chainlet.

再配上条链子
And the diminutive "let" at the end of the chain

这里一小条银项链
doesn't really cover up the chain itself.

并没有实际的形容意义
It doesn't really mitigate against the confinement he has perpetrated on Lolita.

这无法减轻他给洛丽塔带来的上海
She is in chains, and just because it's ornamented,

她被银链锁住并不因这银链是个装饰品
just because it has the diminutive, doesn't mean that it's not a chain.

并不应它只是一小条银项链就改变它身为锁链的本质
It's around her throat, that vulnerable place.

银链环住她最脆弱的喉间
So, if art as play is something like performance,

如果说作为演剧的艺术是演出
