苏菲的抉择（1982）

苏菲的抉择
那时是1947年
It was 1947,
战争结束两年后我踏上旅程
two years after the war, when I began my journey
到父亲称为”北方所多玛”的
to what my father called the “Sodom of the north,”
纽约
New York.
叫我斯汀戈吧
Call me Stingo,
那时别人叫我做什么
which was the nickname I was known by in those days,
都称我为斯汀戈
if I was called anything at all.
我存的钱刚刚够写小说用
I had barely saved enough money to write my novel,
因为我渴望甚至梦想成为作家
for I wanted beyond hope or dreaming to be a writer.
但我的心灵封闭
But my spirit had remained landlocked,
从无体验过爱情和死亡
unacquainted with love and a stranger to death.
即使在那个年代
Even back then,
在曼哈顿也很难找到廉租♥房♥♥子
cheap apartments were hard to find in Manhattan.
于是我在陌生的布鲁克林
And so began my voyage of discovery
展开探索之旅
in a place as strange as Brooklyn.
我明白
I know.
你对那粉红色感到奇怪 大家都是这样
You’re thinking about the pink. Everybody does.
我死去的丈夫索尔
See, my late husband Saul, he got his bargain.
从海军那里买♥♥来大量的剩余油漆
Hundreds and hundreds of gallons of this navy surplus paint.
我想他们船上很少需要粉红色
See,l guess they didn’t have any use for pink on those boats, huh?
我租
Okay, I’ll take it.
雅达说有位来自南部的年轻小说家
到了粉红宫殿的王国里
你的邻居邀请你到楼上苏菲的套间
共进晚餐
今晚八时
这本书是见面礼
布鲁克林最早期的吟游诗人赠与布鲁克林的最新居民
