Maybe he is a masochist的意思|示意

一个长期绝食的人 ...Maybe he is a masochist; maybe he enjoys torturing himself. He sits there when it is icy cold, naked, and you appreciate him. But what is the point, what is the value in it? All the animals of the world are naked in the icy cold -- they are not saints. Or when it is hot, he sits in the hot sun, and you appreciate him. You say, "Look! here is a great ascetic."一个长期绝食的人，或许是个自虐狂。某人裸坐于寒冰之上，你就崇敬他。
