04 Sept. rain in the morning, turning sunny later. I woke up early, at about 5.30am. The apartment is lovely– bright and spacious, with two bedrooms, each with a double bed. The bathroom is large and modern, decorated entirely in white - clean and simple, excatly the way I like it.
“The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.” — Chapter 1 (画室里充满了浓郁的玫瑰香气,夏日轻风拂过花园的树丛时,透过敞开的门飘进来的是紫丁香的浓香,或是粉红山楂花那更为淡雅的芬芳)
比如说精炼、有节奏感又充满哲理的:
“Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” — Chapter 2 (如今的人什么东西的价格都知道,却不懂得它们的价值。)
“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.” — Chapter 2 (摆脱诱惑的唯一方法就是屈服于它。若去抗拒,你的灵魂会因渴望那些自己禁止的事物而痛苦难耐)
“There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”— Chapter 2(没有所谓道德的或不道德的书。书只有写得好或写得坏,仅此而已。)
When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one’s self, and one always ends by deceiving others.” — Chapter 10(一个人坠入爱河时,总是先欺骗自己,而最终又欺骗他人。)
故事的主角多里安·格雷 (Dorian Gray),是一个拥有令人惊叹的美貌的年轻人。那种年轻的光芒,在画家巴兹尔眼中几乎是一种宗教般的启示。 “He is all my art to me now... the harmony of body and soul.” (他是我全部艺术的化身,是肉体与灵魂的和谐。-第1章)可正是这种美,让多里安意识到了时间的残酷。当他在画像前许下愿望——让这幅画替他老去,而自己永远年轻时——他的灵魂,也在那一刻悄然被抵押。
王尔德笔下的青春,是耀眼到近乎残忍的存在。“Youth! Youth! There is absolutely nothing in the world but youth!”(青春!青春!世上除了青春,别无他物。-第2章)。那是一种不知死亡、不懂疲惫的美,青春的转瞬即逝,是一种“too perfect to last”的完美, 也是让人心悸的绝望。“When your youth goes, your beauty will go with it, and then you will suddenly discover that there are no triumphs left for you.”(当你的青春逝去,你的美也随之凋谢,那时你会突然发现,世上再没有属于你的荣耀。-第2章)。
或许这就是青春真正的纪念:不是停留在不老的幻象或外表,而是被留住的心意 - 以单纯的心欣赏和享受生活中的不完美,保留那份仍然会被一场雨、一句诗、一束花触动的敏感,因此就被时间温柔以待。正如王尔德在书中所言:“To define is to limit.”(定义即是限制- 第18章)。青春无法被定义,它会以不同的方式,在每一个清晨、每一场雨、每一段文字中,被重现、被感受。
3号住的这一晚纯粹就是中转一下,以便把4号开往Odda的路程控制在200公里以内。我们安排了一天的时间,打算沿着著名的旅游风景路线-13号公路-慢慢开。这是一条南北走向、将近450公里的国家公路(Norwegian National Road 13),那一天,真的是逢山钻洞(隧道),遇水上船。我们坐了一次轮渡,过了多少隧道忘了数。

写得真好,赞!
