看来偶得了space强迫症了。每天晚上明明在学习，还是要上来涂几笔。

《霍乱时期的爱情》据说在非典时期在国内红过…

 

由于对《霍乱时期的爱情》久仰大名，在已经过去很久的寒假里读了一下。读完好像突然知道为啥近几年里，马尔克斯爷爷会写“Memories of My Melancholy Whores了”。不过不知道《霍乱》是他几岁的时候写的。伊原来一直对老年人主题(文青的讲法是：“有关时间”）很感兴趣。如果一切顺利，我们大多都要变老。

读它千万要耐心，最后10页简直是，我见过的最动人的小说结尾之一。自己去读比较好，所以下面就不透露了，随便摘段别的。

 

Love in the Time of Cholera. Gabriel Garcia Marquez. trans.Edith Grossman. New York: Vintage Books, 2003.

 

On page 318：

 

...One night, on an unknown station that suddenly came in strong and clear as if it were next door, she heard heartbreaking news: an elderly couple, who for forty years had been repeating their honeymoon every year in the same spot, had been murdered, bludgeoned to death with oars by the skipper of the boat they were riding in, who then robbed them of all the money they were carrying: fourteen dollars. The effect on her was even more devastating when Lucrecia del Real told her the complete story, which had been published in a local newspaper. The police had discovered that the elderly couple beaten to death were clandestine lovers who had taken their vacations together for forty years, but who each had a stable and happy marriage as well as very large families. Fermina Daza, who never cried over the soap operas on the radio, had to hold back the knot of tears that chocked her.

 

烂译：

……一天夜里，她突然调到一个未知的电台，清晰强烈的声音好似就是从隔壁发出来的，她听到一条让人心碎的新闻：一对老年夫妇在蜜月中被谋杀了。他们四十年来年年都在这同一个地方度蜜月。正是他们所坐的船的船夫用船桨将他们敲死，劫走他们身上所有的钱：十四块。而当Lucrecia del Real告诉她登在当地报纸上的事情完整真相时，她几乎伤心欲绝。警察发现被敲死的老人，是一对秘密情人，四十年来每年共同到这一个地方旅行。他们各自有着稳定而幸福的婚姻，身后还各自有庞大的家族。Fermina Daza从来没在听广播肥皂剧的时候哭过，这时候却不得不用劲把哽咽着的泪水吞回去。
