【I'm a child of this dreary century】 Abdellatif Laâbi (1942-Now) I'm a child of this dreary century a child who never grew up Doubts that set my tongue on fire burned my wings I learned to walk then I unlearned it I grew weary of oases and camels eager for ruins My head turned to the East I lie in the middle of the road and wait for the caravan of the mad —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《我是這個沉悶世紀的孩子》】 (摩洛哥)善良的僕人·沫蟬(1942生—至今) 【紅霞譯】 我是這個沉悶世紀的孩子 一位永遠長不大的孩子 讓我熱血沸騰的懷疑 焚毀我的雙翼 我學會了走路 然後把它忘記 我厭倦了綠洲 而駱駝渴望廢墟 朝東望去 我躺在路中間 來等待瘋狂的商隊 【注】舊時葡萄牙駐紮大西洋海岸的要塞——馬扎甘“長發人”城建於1506年,地處卡薩布蘭卡“白宮”西南96公里/60英里,現屬摩洛哥新城(El Jadida)管轄,是葡萄牙探險家在前往西印度群島西非路線上早期居住的據點之一,直至1769年摩洛哥人奪回該城才結束葡萄牙長達250多年的殖民統治。 “長發人”城的堡壘和城牆都是文藝復興時期軍事設計的早期典範,而現存的以蓄水池和聖母升天教堂為代表的葡萄牙建築則採用晚期哥特式和曼努埃爾“神與我們同在”(Manueline)的華麗裝飾風格。 走進這個防禦圍城,我發現開張的商戶店鋪沒有多少家,所見的古董建築大門幾近緊閉,周圍老百姓懶得到這片看似擺設的地方閒逛,索性把古蹟標配全都留給了上杆子的境外遊客,不曾想時逢當地政客正進行普選遊說,隨行拉來小學生宣傳隊助興,把野貓流浪的主街堵得水泄不通。 2004年,該城被世界科教文組織納入《世界遺產名錄》。 Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2024: Hassan II Mosque, Morocco(摩洛哥·哈桑“英俊”二世清真寺) 2024: Casablanca, the Atlas Lions of Morocco(摩洛哥·卡薩布蘭卡) 2024: El Jadida, the Hamptons of Morocco(摩洛哥的家園·新城) 2023: Canadian Wildfires over Philadelphia(加拿大山火煙熏大費城地區) 2015: Crystal Cave, PA(賓州水晶洞) 2010: 幸運兔游明信片(Felix the Rabbit Traveling Postcard) Gate to the Old City in Old Portuguese Architecture
