【To My Daughter Adele (A ma fille Adèle)】 Victor Hugo (1802-1885) As a child, you slept near me, pink and fresh, Like a baby Jesus dozing in his manger; Your pure sleep was so calm and lovely That you didn't hear the bird sing in the shadows; I, thoughtful, sucked in all the dark sweetness From the mysterious firmament.
And I listened to the angels fly over your head; And I watched you sleep; and on your nappies I plucked the petals of jasmines and carnations noiselessly; And I prayed, watching over your closed eyelids; And my eyes were wet with tears, thinking about things That await us in the night.
One day my turn will come to sleep; and my bed, Made of shadow, will be so dreary and so fierce Nor will I hear the bird sing; And the night will be dark; then, oh my dove, Tears, prayer and flowers, you will return to my grave What I did for your crib. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《致我女兒阿黛爾“高貴”》】 (法國)維克多·雨果“勝利者·哲人”(1802生—1885卒) 【紅霞譯】 你小時候粉紅嬌嫩地睡在我的身旁, 如同嬰兒耶穌困臥馬槽打盹; 你的酣眠非常平靜又非常可愛 你並沒聽到鳥兒在影子裡歌唱; 我體味所有的黑色甜蜜 全都來自神秘蒼穹。
我聽見天使從你頭頂飛過; 我看着你進入夢鄉;還在你的襁褓上 我悄然採摘茉莉與康乃馨的花瓣; 我對着你緊閉的雙眼祈禱; 我熱淚盈眶,一想到 夜間等待我們的事情。
總有一天輪到我來就寢;而我的床鋪, 用影子做成,會非常陰森又非常冷情 我也聽不到鳥兒歌唱; 夜幕終究黑暗;接着,我的鴿子啊, 淚水、祈禱和鮮花,你會回到我的墓地 如同我照應你的搖籃。 【注】來到波爾多“水邊”產區,我的後腳剛邁出一家酒莊,前腳又不由自主地踏入另一家。整天杯不離手,酒不離口,仿佛整個人的呼吸都染上了單寧的香氣。今天,身不由己地被帶進費朗“鐵灰色”酒莊——所謂聖埃米利翁“渴望”(Saint-Émilion)的特級園,波爾多產地最古老的酒莊之一。在這兒,混釀的紅葡萄酒佐以本土流行的招牌菜,豈非人生樂事? 混釀紅酒: 70%梅洛“黑鳥”(Merlot)——圓潤柔順,如天鵝絨般撫過舌尖 29%品麗珠“法國黑葡萄藤”(Cabernet Franc)——芬芳雅致,帶來一絲清新的草本氣息 1%赤霞珠“野生葡萄藤”(Cabernet Sauvignon)——骨架隱現,為整支酒注入恰到好處的結構感
招牌菜: 烤肋排(Entrecote a la Bordelaise)配以紅酒(赤霞珠)、洋蔥和肉汁製成的醬汁:烤肋排端上桌時,還在滋滋作響。紅酒醬汁由赤霞珠、洋蔥和肉汁濃縮而成,深褐色的醬汁緊緊包裹着肋排的邊緣。一刀切下,肉質粉嫩,汁水豐盈。 羊腿(Gigot d'Agneau)用百里香、歐芹、大蒜和橄欖油烤制而成:羊腿用百里香、歐芹、大蒜和橄欖油醃製後慢烤,外皮焦香,內里軟嫩。撕下一塊,蘸着盤底的肉汁,香草的清香與羊肉的醇厚在口中交織。 烤豬排(Cuit au Four Cotelette de Porc)配上紅酒、紅糖、丁香、肉豆蔻和蘋果製成的醬汁:甜中帶辛,辛中透酸,與豬肉的油脂完美平衡。 紅酒鰻魚(Lamproie a la Bordelaise)由七鰓鰻與醃火腿、紅酒、各種新鮮香草以及韭菜、洋蔥和大蒜等蔬菜一起燉製而成波爾多的傳統名菜:鰻魚肉質緊實,吸飽了紅酒的醇厚與香草的芬芳,每一口都帶着大海與陸地的對話。 小肉桂蛋糕(Cannele)以朗姆酒和香草調味:外殼焦脆,內里柔軟,朗姆酒和香草的香氣在唇齒間久久不散。
舉杯望向窗外,聖埃米利翁的葡萄園在夕陽下泛着金光。這一刻,酒在杯中,菜在盤中,而波爾多的風土,已在心中。 Today in History(歷史上的今天):
