在《格雷的五十道陰影》裡,電梯出現的頻率超乎想像。作者非常有技巧地描寫在電梯這樣狹窄又隱蔽的空間裡,情慾如何不受控制地蔓延開來。在這無處可逃的空間裡,每個人都必須對另外一個有所行動的人做出回應。書裡男女主角第一次的親密接觸,就在這讓人感到尷尬甚至於無法呼吸的電梯裡:
The elevator arrives, and we step in. We’re alone. Suddenly, for some inexplicable reason, possibly our proximity in such an enclosed space, the atmosphere between us changes, charged with electric, exhilarating anticipation. My breathing alters as my heart races. His head turns fractionally toward me, his eyes darkest slate. I bite my lip.
“Oh, fuck the paperwork,” he growls. He lunges at me, pushing me at against the wall of the elevator. Before I know it, he got both of my hands in one of his in a viselike grip above my head, and his pinning me to the wall using his hips. Holy shit. His other hand grabs my hair and yanks down, bringing my face up, and his lips are on mine.
電梯到了,我們走進去。電梯裡只有我們。忽然間,因為某種不知名的原因,可能是因為在密閉空間裡我們距離這麼近,裡頭的氣氛忽然變了。有某種電流通過,帶來讓人興奮的期待感。我的心跳加速,呼吸也跟著改變。他微微地轉頭面向我,他的眼睛是最深沈的暗灰色。我不經意地咬了自己的嘴脣。
「喔!不管那些手續了!」他咆哮了一聲。他朝著我撲過來,將我推到電梯的牆上。在我能反應過來之前,他用一隻手把我的雙手舉向我的頭頂,像支老虎鉗一樣。然後用他的臀部牢牢把我釘在牆上。可惡!他的另一隻手抓著我的頭髮然後使勁一拉。我的臉簌地朝上抬起,然後他吻了我。
Os: 之前看到某個談話節目,聊的是台灣人跟外國人的不同。外國人很不能理解為什麼台灣人一進電梯就急著按關門鍵,外國人一進電梯不疾不徐地等電梯門自己關上。結論是也許台灣人特別害怕這種尷尬。但其實外國人也很怕,每次一進電梯不到三秒就開始忙著跟你聊天氣跟球賽…然後就只能很不甘願得再度啟動英文模式,因為在電梯裡無處可逃。
