《重归伊萨卡》后记
送交者: 胡司令 2002年02月02日20:10:10 于 [加国移民] 发送悄悄话

直到这个圣诞节重访母校时,偶一直还不太清楚伊萨卡地名的含义。隐隐只觉得与神话
有关。到准备提笔写下点什么时,才临时抱佛脚做一番调查研究,终于对古希腊文明中
的人物地名有所了解。

偶为啥会写《重归伊萨卡》系列?主要的原因是想,该给过去生命这一章画个句号了。
这不光是一次对历险和经验的圆满总结,也是从新的高度认识过去和现在,更是为未来
新的旅程甩下包袱轻装前进。

这第三部分最难写,被自己的敌人打倒,确实不堪回首,尤其其中大部分是在当年的米
国出差途中写成的。现在三篇全都作了修改,终稿放在如下网址:

偶尽管投入不少休息时间,但很高兴能完成(自认为:))这个系列。如果它居然也能
给漂泊奋斗中的朋友们一点点启示和帮助,那偶当然会乐得“睡觉都会笑醒”地。;)

让偶把康斯坦丁·卡瓦菲斯的英文译诗贴在下面:愿大家都拥有一路收获丰富的旅程。

"Ithaca"

As you set out for Ithaca
hope the voyage is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
angry Poseidon -- don't be afraid of them:
you'll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.
Hope the voyage is a long one.
May there be many a summer morning when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you come into harbors seen for the first time;
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kind --
as many sensual perfumes as you can,
and may you visit many Egyptian cities
to gather stores of knowledge from their scholars.

Keep Ithaca always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you are destined for.
But do not hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you are old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaca to make you rich.

Ithaca gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her, you would not have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor, Ithaca won't have [deceived] you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you will have understood by then what these Ithacas mean.
