【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.

【《致我女儿阿黛尔“高贵”》】

(法国)胜利者·雨果“哲人”(1802生—1885卒)

【红霞译】

                你小时候粉红娇嫩地睡在我的身旁，

                如同婴儿耶稣困卧马槽打盹；

                你的酣眠非常平静又非常可爱

                你并没听到鸟儿在影子里歌唱；

                我体味所有的黑色甜蜜

                全都来自神秘苍穹。

                我听见天使从你头顶飞过；

                我看着你进入梦乡；还在你的襁褓上

                我悄然采摘茉莉与康乃馨的花瓣；

                我对着你紧闭的双眼祈祷；

                我热泪盈眶，一想到

                夜间等待我们的事情。

                总有一天轮到我来就寝；而我的床铺，

                用影子做成，会非常阴森又非常冷情

                我也听不到鸟儿歌唱；

                夜幕终究黑暗；接着，我的鸽子啊，

                泪水、祈祷和鲜花，你会回到我的墓地

                如同我照应你的摇篮。

【注】来到波尔多“水边”产区，我后脚刚迈出一家酒庄，前脚又踏入另一家酒庄，感觉整天到晚杯不离手酒不离口，今天身不由己地被带进费朗“铁灰色”酒庄，所谓圣爱美浓“热切使徒”(Saint-Émilion)的特级园、波尔多产地最古老的酒庄之一，于此混酿的红葡萄酒佐食本土流行的招牌菜，岂非乐哉？

混酿红酒：

• 70%梅洛“黑鸟”(Merlot)

• 29%品丽珠“法国黑葡萄藤”(Cabernet Franc)

• 1%赤霞珠“野生葡萄藤”(Cabernet Sauvignon) 

招牌菜：

• 烤肋排(Entrecote a la Bordelaise)配以红酒（赤霞珠）、洋葱和肉汁制成的酱汁；

• 羊腿(Gigot d'Agneau)用百里香、欧芹、大蒜和橄榄油烤制而成；
