睡前會翻幾頁這本薄薄的小說,有好多字似曾相識,又有很多字看不太懂,這本書挑戰自己的閱讀能力,同時,看習慣商業英文的我,讀這本書覺得自己像小學生一樣。
因為看過電影,大致上還能知道書中在說什麼,昨天睡前讀到這一段。第二個章節的故事是Doña María, The Marquesa de Montemayor,一位和女兒溝通不良、被女兒遺棄但又完全付出母愛的母親,被宗教裁判所告發三次的女人,每天都窩在小陽台上寫信關心女兒的母親的故事,書中這一段:
She saw that the people of this world moved about in an armor of egotism, drunk with self-gazing, athirst for compliments, hearing little of what was said to them, unmoved by the accidents that befell their closest friends, in dread of all appeals that might interrupt their long communion with their own desires.這本書在1927年出版,隔了八十年,對人類的寫照至今依然適用。
