關(guān)于《夜航西飛》

west with the night 《夜航西飛》作者 Beryl Markham

出版社: North Point Press

出版年: 1982

海明威稱(chēng)它為“一本非常棒的書(shū)”，確實(shí)如此。這是一本關(guān)于非洲的書(shū)，一本優(yōu)異的飛行文學(xué)。故事講到獅子，講到搜尋愛(ài)人失事墜落的飛機。Markham的第三任丈夫，作家Raoul Schumacher，為本書(shū)的語(yǔ)言大作潤色。那又如何？這本書(shū)，以及它所描述的生活依舊散發(fā)著(zhù)激越的狂熱。

我學(xué)到 倘若你必須離開(kāi)一個(gè)曾經(jīng)住過(guò)，愛(ài)過(guò)以及保藏自己所有過(guò)去的地方時(shí)，不要慢慢離開(kāi)，要絕然離去。 不要回首，也不要相信記憶中已逝去的美好時(shí)光，過(guò)往的歲月看來(lái)總是最無(wú)害，被經(jīng)歷過(guò)的， 而未來(lái)的光陰潛藏在云霧中，因為骨折一段距離，所以令人心懷畏懼。但當你跨足進(jìn)入時(shí)，云霧便會(huì )悄悄散去。

-----夜航西飛 Beryl Markham在自傳里的一段話(huà)。

Beryle Markham在West with the Night書(shū)中寫(xiě)：

“世間有許多種不同的靜默，每一種都有不同的意味。有一種寂靜是伴隨清晨的樹(shù)林一同降臨，它有別于一座安睡的城市的寂靜。有暴風(fēng)雨前的寂靜以及暴風(fēng)雨后的寂靜，這兩者也不盡相同。虛無(wú)之靜默，驚懼之靜默，疑惑之靜默。有一種靜默可以從沒(méi)有生命的物體中散發(fā)出來(lái)，比如說(shuō)從一把最近使用過(guò)的椅子，或者從一架琴鍵蒙塵的鋼琴，甚至從任何一件曾滿(mǎn)足人們需求的物品之中，無(wú)論是為了取樂(lè )還是為了工作。這樣的靜默會(huì )說(shuō)話(huà)。它的嗓音或許憂(yōu)郁，卻也并非總是如此，比方說(shuō)：椅子是一個(gè)歡笑的孩子留下的，鋼琴的最后幾個(gè)音符曾經(jīng)喧鬧而歡快。無(wú)關(guān)氛圍與場(chǎng)景，事物的本質(zhì)將在隨之而來(lái)的靜默中延展。它是無(wú)聲的回響?！?/p>

There are all kinds of silences and each of them means a different thing. There is the silence that comes with morning in a forest, and this is different from the silence of a sleeping city. There is silence after a rainstorm, and before a rainstorm, and these are not the same. There is the silence of emptiness, the silence of fear, the silence of doubt. There is a certain silence that can emanate from a lifeless object as from a chair lately used, or from a piano with old dust upon its keys, or from anything that has answered to the need of a man, for pleasure or for work. This kind of silence can speak. Its voice may be melancholy, but it is not always so; for the chair may have been left by a laughing child or the last notes of the piano may have been raucous and gay. Whatever the mood or the circumstance, the essence of its quality may linger in the silence that follows. It is a soundless echo.

美呆了，是吧。

所以海明威在給朋友的信中寫(xiě)，Beryle這個(gè)女人令人不快，因為她讓他覺(jué)得自己像個(gè)拼裝文字的木匠。信的末尾海明威囑咐他的朋友一定要看看這本書(shū)，因為它bloody wonderful。

West With the Night Beryl Markham一個(gè)特立獨行的女性,雖然還沒(méi)能讀到她的原著(zhù),先摘抄一些《夜航西飛》里的句子及介紹?！帮w行在黑暗中，山丘、森林、巨巖、平原都是同一種東西，而黑暗本身是無(wú)止境的，地球不再是你的星球，而是一顆遠方之星。遠方的星星至少還發(fā)亮呢。這一刻的飛機才是你的星球，而你是其中唯一的居民……”——Beryl Markham《West With the Night》

One of the most beautifully crafted books I have ever read, with some of the most poetic prose passages I could imagine, such as the following, resonating with a stately and timeless quality so absent in our modern life:

There are all kinds of silences and each of them means a different thing. There is the silence that comes with morning in a forest, and this is different from the silence of a sleeping city. There is silence after a rainstorm, and before a rainstorm, and these are not the same. There is the silence of emptiness, the silence of fear, the silence of doubt. There is a certain silence that can emanate from a lifeless object as from a chair lately used, or from a piano with old dust upon its keys, or from anything that has answered to the need of a man, for pleasure or for work. This kind of silence can speak. Its voice may be melancholy, but it is not always so; for the chair may have been left by a laughing child or the last notes of the piano may have been raucous and gay. Whatever the mood or the circumstance, the essence of its quality may linger in the silence that follows. It is a soundless echo.

Born in England in 1902, Markham was taken by her father to East Africa in 1906. She spent her childhood playing with native Maruni children and apprenticing with her father as a trainer and breeder of racehorses. In the 1930s, she became an African bush pilot, and in September 1936, became the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic from east to west. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

----amazon.com editorial description

It seemed to me beyond the realms of possibility that I should travel so far that I should "go such a long way." This was linked up with the limitations and poverty of our conditions of life. My longing to travel was no doubt also the expression of a wish to escape from that pressure, like the force which drives so many adolescent children to run away from home. I had long seen clearly that a great part of the pleasure of travel lies in the fulfillment of these early wishes, that it is rooted, that is, in dissatisfaction with home and family.

Kibii into Arab Ruta--Beru into Memsahib!--this stilted word that ends my youth and reminds me always of its ending-- What a child does not know and does not want to know of race and colour and class, he learns soon enough as he grows to see each man flipped inexorably into some predestined groove like a penny or a sovereign in a banker's rack. Kibii, the Nandi boy, was my good friend. Arab Ruta, who sits before me, is my good friend, but the handclasp will be shorter, the smile will not be so eager on his lips, and though the path is for a while the same, he will walk behind me now, when once, in the simplicity of our nonage, we walked together.

When you fly, you get a feeling of possession that you couldn't have if you owned all of Africa. You feel that everything you see belongs to you--all the pieces are put together, and the whole is yours; not that you want it, but because, when you're alone in a plane, there's no one to share it. It's there and it's yours.

You can live a lifetime and, at the end of it, know more about other people than you know about yourself. You learn to watch other people, but you never watch yourself because you strive against loneliness. If you read a book,... you are avoiding yourself. The abhorrence of loneliness is as natural as wanting to live at all. If it were otherwise, men would never have bothered to make an alphabet, nor to have fashioned words out of what were only animal sounds.

關(guān)于冰島的英語(yǔ)作文

冰島的簡(jiǎn)介

Introduction to Iceland

Iceland's stark, pristine scenery has been shaped by fire and ice: More than 200 volcanoes and numerous glaciers form the country's landscape. It's a frozen land that's always letting off steam. Its U-shaped valleys, jagged lava fields, monstrous icecaps, hot springs and geysers have carved a rugged, bizarre landscape you won't see anywhere else on Earth. But you don't need the fortitude of a Viking to enjoy Iceland. In fact, you can experience many of its extremes in relative comfort. During a recent trip, we swam outdoors in a naturally heated pool just yards/meters away from a glacier.

Despite its relative isolation and untillable terrain, Iceland has one of the highest standards of living in the world (with sky-high prices to match). Tourists began to flock there in the 1990s, realizing that it's actually a destination in its own right rather than just a long layover on connecting Icelandair flights.

Icelanders, like many islanders, are self-confident and reserved, but once you break the ice, so to speak, they are among the friendliest in the world. Of course, they, too, have their extremes. Although weeknights in Reykjavik, the capital city, are usually quite sedate, the wee hours during the weekends (particularly Friday nights) can get downright raucous as stylishly dressed young people observe a rowdy party-on-the-streets ritual known as the runtur, or circuit.
