海明威:巴黎是一席流动的飨宴 Hemingway: Paris is a Moveable Feast

* * *

“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for all of Paris is a moveable feast.”
----Ernest Hemingway (1950)

假如你有幸 年轻时在巴黎生活过
那么你此后一生中 不论去到哪里
她都与你同在
因为
巴黎 是一席流动的飨宴
——【美】海明威 (1950)

“As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.”
—— Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast (1921-26 )

吃那海腥味濃烈的生蠔的時候
生蠔原本略帶的金屬氣息 被冰涼的白酒所沖淡
只剩下海的鮮味和那肥美多汁的嫩肉。
我吸著一个个生蠔殼裡冷冷的汁液
藉著清甜的葡萄酒一飲而下
只覺空虛不再,人也愉快起來,
躊躇滿志。
—— 海明威《流動的盛宴》(1921-26 )
