读书|《无处归属》

旅行者无法抑制探索世界的冲动,所以他总是从一个地方去到另一个地方,无处归属。

Neither Here nor There(《无处归属》)是比尔·布莱森从挪威到伊斯坦布尔的一路见闻,书中写巴黎人的傲慢,写意大利司机横冲直撞,写催人昏睡的挪威电视,写以铲除树篱为荣的英国推出机……

他也写路上的风景。在西西里附近的Capri岛上,天色渐晚,海风微拂,海浪在悬崖下低语,月光如碎银般泻下,空气中是阵阵柠檬、忍冬、松木的香气……

“I have never seen anything half as beautiful: on one side the town of Capri spilling down the hillside, on the other the twinkling lights of the cove at Anacapri and the houses gathered around it, and in front of me a sheer drop of – what? – 200 feet, 300 feet, to a sea of the lushest aquamarine washing against outcrops of jagged rock. The sea was so far below that the sound of breaking waves reached me as the faintest of whispers. A sliver of moon, brilliantly white, hung in a pale blue evening sky, a warm breeze teased my hair and everywhere there was the scent of lemon, honeysuckle and pine. ”
