选段1 作品导读:《旅行的艺术》是英国作家阿兰·德波顿的作品。本书用一种质感、细腻、随意的语言,尽量把大感觉化解成小感觉,把理性的结论隐藏在几乎看不见的地方,让人觉得也可能根本没有这种结论。这样的文字,有着一种感性的征服力。作者借灵魂与自己所遇环境的种种对话,在各种冲撞中揭示了旅行的深层意义。那么,让我们跟随阿兰·德波顿开始一场充满鲜活色彩的完美的旅行吧~~
开篇:On Anticipation 对旅行的期待
It was hard to say when exactly winter arrived.The decline was gradual,like that of a person into old age,inconspicuous from day to day until the season became an established relentless reality.
注释:
First came a dip in evening temperatures,then days of continuous rain,confused gusts of Atlantic wind,dampness,the fall of leaves and the changing of the clocks-though there were still occasional moments of reprieve,mornings when one could leave the house without a coat and the sky was cloudless and bright.But they were like false signs of recovery in a patient upon whom death has passed its sentence.
注释:
By December,the new season was entrenched and the city was covered almost every day by an ominous steely-grey sky,like one in a painting by Mantegna or Veronese, the perfect backdrop to the crucifixion of Christ or to a day beneath the bedclothes .
