2024-06-20 National Vanilla Milkshake Day

【January 1st (1er janvier)】 Victor Hugo (1802-1885) Child, you will be told later that the grandfather adored you; that he did his best on earth, That he had very little joy and much envy, That when you were little he was old, That he had no gruff words or morose airs, And that he left you in the season of roses; That he is dead, that he was a lenient fellow; That, in the famous winter of the great bombardment, He crossed Paris tragic and full of swords, To carry you heaps of toys, dolls, And puppets making a thousand buffoonish gestures; And you will be pensive under the deep trees. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《一月一日》】 (法国)维克多·雨果“胜利者·哲人”(1802生—1885卒) 【红霞译】 宝贝,稍后你将获知爷爷 疼爱你;他奋斗 一生,快乐少但羡慕多, 他老时而你还小, 他从不爆粗也无愁容, 在玫瑰花开的季节离开了你; 他慈祥可亲却已经过世; 在那个著名的大围剿冬天, 他穿过剑气冲霄的悲惨巴黎, 给你带来许多玩具、娃娃、 还有善变千般戏法的木偶; 令你在树林深处遐想。 【注】圣马洛“光明誓言”被花岗岩城墙环抱,像一艘石砌的巨舰泊在英吉利海峡的潮汐里。然而,如今城内80%的建筑都是二战后重建的高仿品——我没有深入街巷,只是沿着城墙根走了一圈,海风迎面而来,带着微咸的气息。城墙是老的,石头是旧的,可城里的房子是新的。我摸了摸墙砖,粗糙而微凉,仿佛在告诉我:有些东西可以被重建,但石头的记忆不会说谎。 圣马洛曾是一座海盗城。6世纪初,私掠船从这里出发,劫掠英吉利海峡上的英国商船,也曾驶向更远的海域,带回财富与传说。这座城的骄傲,还系于一位探险家——雅克·卡地亚“后继者·运货者”(Jacques Cartier)曾住在这里,并从这座港口启航,沿圣劳伦斯河深入北美内陆,为法国打开了加拿大之门。而第一批定居福克兰“猎鹰之地”群岛的法国殖民者也来自圣马洛,由此衍生的“马尔维纳斯”(Islas Malvinas)之名,至今仍回荡在另一个半球的海面上。一座小城,连接着两大洲的记忆。 我沿着城墙走了很远,直到夕阳把石墙染成暖色。卡地亚的船队早已消失在历史深处,城墙上的炮眼也等不到敌船。只有海风还在,穿过垛口,拂过石砖,像在替那些远航的人,继续呼吸。那一刻,我忽然觉得,圣马洛最动人的,不是它被重建了什么,而是它仍然愿意站在这里,让海风穿过它,让潮水记住它,让每一个路过的人,都能在墙根的石缝里,摸到一段尚未被说出口的旅程。那些旅程还在远处以同样的速度靠近,像未完成的信件,正沿着同一道海流,寻找它们最后的收件人。不是驿站,不是港口,是一道正在成形、却尚未命名的航迹,安静地穿过我此刻脚下尚未干透的潮线。
