【Sesame and Lilies】 John Ruskin (1819-1900) For all books are divisible into two classes: the books of the hour, and the books of all time. Mark this distinction - it is not one of quality only. It is not merely the bad book that does not last, and the good one that does. It is a distinction of species. There are good books for the hour, and good ones for all time; bad books for the hour, and bad ones for all time. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《芝麻与百合》】 (英国)神慈·罗斯金“红发”(1819生—1900卒) 【红霞译】 既然所有书籍都可分为两类:一类是当下流行的,另一类则是千古流芳的,那请注意其中的区别——不仅仅是质量的区别,也不仅仅是坏书不能持久、好书却能永恒,而是事关种类的区别,有当下流行的好书,也有永世长存的珍品;有当下流行的坏书,也有遗臭万年的糟粕。 【注】蒂尔伯里“能者堡垒”号称泰晤士“暗”河沿岸最大的港口,是伦敦港主要集装箱港口,包括英国最大的谷物码头和造纸枢纽,而当地的犯罪率相当可观,平均每百人就有15起案例。 蒂尔伯里对岸的格雷夫森德“树林尽头”(Gravesend)虽然也不安全,但河景独有情调。 离开法国后,我取道蒂尔伯里前往利兹“湍急河流”城堡(Leeds Castle)。
