今天读到了night train to Tbilisi坐晚间火车去格鲁吉亚第比利斯这一章。
It seemed to me that this was the whole point of traveling to arrive alone like a specter, in a strange country at nightfall, not in the brightly lit capital but by the back door, in the wooded countryside, hundreds of miles from the metropolis, where, typically, people didn't see many strangers and were hospitable and did not instantly think of me as money on two legs. Life was harder but simpler here-I could see it in the rough houses and the crummy roads and the hayricks and the boys herding goats. Arriving in the hinterland with only the vaguest plans was a liberating event. I told myself that it was a solemn occasion for discovery, but I knew better: it was more like an irresponsible and random haunting of another planet
在我看来,这就是旅行的要点——像幽灵一样独来独往。我眼前的夜幕降临在一个陌生的乡间,不是在灯火辉煌的首都,这个地方好像是这个国家的后门,是远离大都市几百英里的树木繁茂的乡村,在这里,人们通常不会见到太多陌生人,所以他们热情好客,不会立刻把我当成长了腿的钞票。这里的生活更艰难,但更简单。我可以从那些粗糙的房子、肮脏的道路、干草垛和放羊的孩子们身上看到他们的生活。只有最随心所欲的游走在这个国家的内陆才能给我内心带来一种解放。我告诉自己,这是一个庄严的探索时刻,但我更清楚:我更像是一个不负责任的、漫无目的、来自另一个星球的幽灵。
我现在读英文一般是先读一段,然后把其中不认识不熟悉的单词用铅笔画个圈,一段读完再统一来查,读完之后,有部分画圈的单词,我已经能猜出来或者回忆出来是什么意思不必再查了。
我发现读一本书刚开始读的时候不认识的单词是最多的,因为你不知道这个作者的常用单词,而且你不知道这本书的设定背景会经常出现哪些单词,随着这本书你越来越往后看,你会发现不熟悉单词比例在减小。
