海明威 - 印第安人营地(节选) - Indian Camp

Indian Camp

By Ernest Hemingway (An Extract)

It was just beginning to be daylight when they walked along the logging road back toward the lake.

“I’m terribly sorry I brought you along, Nickie,” said his father, all his post-operative exhilaration gone. “It was an awful mess to put you through.”

“Do ladies always have such a hard time having babies?” Nick asked.

“No, that was very, very exceptional.”

“Why did he kill himself, Daddy?”

“I don’t know, Nick. He couldn’t stand things, I guess.”

“Do many men kill themselves, Daddy?”

“Not very many, Nick.”

“Do many women?”

“Hardly ever.”

“Don’t they ever?”

“Oh, yes. They do sometimes.”

“Daddy?”

“Yes.”

“Where did Uncle George go?”

“He’ll turn up all right.”

“Is dying hard, Daddy?”

“No, I think it’s pretty easy, Nick. It all depends.”

They were seated in the boat. Nick in the stern, his father rowing. The sun was coming up over the hills. A bass jumped, making a circle in the water. Nick trailed his hand in the water. It felt warm in the sharp chill of the morning.

In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.

【美国】欧内斯特•海明威作 杨卫东译

他们沿着伐木道走回湖边时,天刚蒙蒙亮。
“真对不起啊,我不该带你来的,尼克。”父亲说,他手术后的那种得意劲儿全没了。“你这次的经历真是糟透了。”
“女人生孩子都要受这么大的罪吗?”尼克问。
“不,这是非常、非常少见的。”
“他干吗要自杀呀,爸爸?”
“我不知道,尼克。他扛不住事情吧,我猜。”
“有很多男人自杀吗,爸爸?”
“不是太多,尼克。”
“很多女人也这样?”
“几乎没有。”
“从不这样吗?”
“噢,有的。她们有时也这样。”
“爸爸?”
“嗯。”
“乔治叔叔去哪了?”
“他会没事儿的。”
“死,很难吗?爸爸?”
“不,我想是很容易的,尼克。要看情况。”
他们在船上坐好了。尼克在船艄,他父亲划着桨。太阳正从山上升起。一条鲈鱼跳动了,水面上荡出一个圆圈。尼克的手放在水里拖动着。它在激灵的晨凉中感到了温暖。
清晨的湖面上,他坐在船艄,父亲划着船;他很确信自己永远都不会死。

做父亲好像不难,好父亲也没什么标准。我们听过朱自清说他的父亲,没说什么高尚品德。我们听说过刘备托付刘禅给诸葛亮,超出想象的大度。父爱可能不明显,父亲可能也不常表现出对孩子的爱,奇怪的是,历史以来,有人说,父爱如山。做个有责任心的父亲,可能就包含了一切。

唐玄宗为什么抢走了儿子李瑁的老婆,杀了儿子李瑛、李瑶、李琚,而另一个儿子李享为什么招呼也不打,就敢在灵武即皇帝位?唐玄宗是一个非常失败的父亲。历史长河中的父子关系,上至皇室下到平民,并不全是忠孝仁义。今天是父亲节,但我特别想念我的妈妈。我只能悄悄在这里说说,唉。
