英文释义

动词 v.
  1. To remove the eyes or their equivalent from (someone).
    — "Lear" and "We Come to the River" have much in common, beyond the scene of deoculating the straitjacketed protagonist: images of brutality, executions, and jubilation; of soldiers starting to question their orders ("They make you do things no one should even have to dream of and cheer you when you've done it"); of suffering; and — fleeting yet powerful in both works— of a peaceful family life in which children's questions are asked and answered about the marvels of the natural world, not about hardships and unhappiness.
