歐洲文化 European Culture

Jackie要我繼續寫歐洲. 這次寫英國. 不知道為什麼上次Jackie一提英國，習主席和王主任就像老鼠見到貓一樣，不約而同躲起來.  Jackie搞不懂，跑來學給我看！你們好像是做錯事的調皮孩子喲！只有中國人才會這樣子！很早以前去的英國，那個時候還沒有海底隧道，只有jet boat .  由於文化傳統，中國和歐洲次大陸的關係比較緊密，也許因為英國德國等是老牌的帝國主義，在文化藝術方面, 中國對歐洲的了解比較深刻！記得我小的時候學拉手風琴，家裡邊有好幾本文革時留下來的歌本！因為家裡三個孩子，父母沒有那麼多餘錢讓我去學鋼琴，現在看見Jackie不用功，心裡恨的牙痒痒，也不懂五線譜，歌本都是簡譜的！在外國歌曲一欄里，大多是歐洲的歌曲，倫敦德里小調，費加羅婚禮里的 「你們可知道什麼是愛情」，舒伯特的「荒野里的玫瑰」，好多好多. 那可是要比當時的革命歌曲好聽多了 記得有一年在瑞士一個小村農家住宿的時候，電視里居然放「萊夢湖」 樂曲，一下子把我拉回童年，拉回那個遙遠的，溫暖的，對未來充滿憧憬和想象的天真少女時代！當時淚一下子就湧出來！still the same old Europe!
Jackie wants me to continue to write about Europe. This time I wrote about UK. I don』t know why Jackie mentioned the British last time. President Xi and Director Wang just like mice seeing cats, quickly hide oneafter another. Jackie doesn』t understand, comes to me and  shows me! You seem to be a naughty children who are doing something wrong! Only  Chinese would be like this! In UK, where I went very early, there was no undersea tunnel at that time, only jet boat. Due to cultural traditions, China and the European subcontinent have close ties, perhaps because Britain and Germany are old-fashioned imperialism, in terms of culture and art, China and Europe, the mutualunderstanding is more profound! I remember that when I was a child, I learned to play the accordion. There are several songbooks left by cultural revolution! Because there are three children in the family, my parents don't have the extra money to let me learn playing piano. Now I hate to see that Jackie doesn't have to work hard. I did not know the staff. The songbook is in simplified notation! Of those foreign songs, most are European,Londonderry Air, the "What do you knowabout love" in the 「Le Nozze di Figaro」, Schubert's "rose in the wilderness", a lot better. But it was much better than thesongs during cultural revolution at the time. The songs were so nice. I remember that when I was staying in a small village farm in Switzerland one year, I actually heard the "LochLomond" music on the TV, and it pulled me back to my childhood, pulling back the distant, warm, full of embarrassment and imagination of the future, so innocent girlhood! At that moment, tears burst out! Still the same old Europe!

當時國內有很多的文學著作, 也都是19，20世紀歐洲, 或者是俄國的，美國的文學著作寥寥幾本！因為父親的原因，他還在書櫥里藏了一些從前蘇聯帶回來的，以前蘇聯出版的油畫冊，還有一些翻譯成中文的外國文學作品. 上小學的時候，老師把全班第一張圖書館證給了我. 從第一天拿證起，我就開始如饑似渴看書，尤其是那些沒有封面的書. 看了那些童話，那些名著，還有中國那些野史演義，很不高興為什麼圖書館規定, 一天只能借一本書，看得眼睛三年級就開始近視， 得配眼鏡！在爸爸那些收集的畫冊里，三分之一是蘇聯的，其他則是西方的！當時蘇聯是有許多加盟共和國，而每一個加盟共和國文化又是不同的，這些繪畫作品里有不同的landscape, 真的，那是多麼廣袤的土地, 無人的蒼蔥的山林，明鏡一般映著藍天和松柏的湖面，憂鬱的民族，冬天的厚重的陰冷的雪，夏天赤身裸體調情的青年男女，各種各樣民族服裝的集會.

At that time, there were many literary works in China, all of which were in the 19th and 20th centuries of Europe, or of Russia, and several literary works of United States! Because of my father, he also hid some oil paintings from the former Soviet Union, which were published in the former Soviet Union, and some foreign literary works translated into Chinese. In the elementary school, the teacher gave the first library card in the class to me. From the first day I got the card, I began to read books with hunger, especially those without a cover. I read those fairy tales, those famous works, and the wild history of China. I was very upset why the library regulated that I could only borrow one book a day. I started toget short visioned from the third grade. I have to wear glasses! In the albums collected by Dad, one third is from Soviet Union, and the others are Western! At that time, the Soviet Union had many republics, and each of the republics had different cultures. These paintings had different landscapes. Really, what a vast land, no human lush forests, mirrors the blue sky and the cypress lake, the melancholy people, the heavy cold snow in the winter, the young men and women flirting in the summer, the gathering of various national costumes.

那些畫從來沒有給我一種，像我住地上海南京路那麼喧嘩熱鬧的感覺，既使畫的是莫斯科，也是宏偉高大，純潔陽光，不那麼布爾喬亞的！可是我喜歡布爾喬亞！我喜歡」鋼鐵是怎樣煉成的「冬尼亞小巧誘人的嘴唇，我甚至用心去畫她的臉項鏈和耳環. 那些西方的繪畫中，有魯本斯肥美的女人，由古希臘裸體的仙女，有荷爾拜因畫的穿著閃著金光的華麗面料的皇宮貴族，那是跟當時社會相差十萬八千里的美麗！我還記得我把她們用鉛筆描下來，小學的同學都問我要！記得看狄更斯的大衛科波菲爾，裡面的插畫真美呀！當時搞不懂朵拉和艾妮斯有什麼不同，不明白年輕輕的安娜要嫁年紀大的老博士，不明白姨婆要收留老年痴獃的年輕時的情人，不明白年輕的寡婦要嫁一個兇狠的丈夫，就知道對英國人來說，最好吃的食物就是松子烤小羊排！

Those paintings have never given me a kind of feeling like the lively Nanjing Road in Shanghai. Even if the painting is Moscow, architectures are also magnificent and high, pure sunshine, not so Bourgeois! But I like bourgeois! I like 「how steel is made" " Donia's small and seductive lips. I even putmy heart to paint her face necklaces and earrings. Among those Western paintings, there are Rubens fat women, nude Fairy by ancient Greeks. There are Holbein paintings, wearing gorgeous fabrics with golden light, the palace nobles, which was so beautiful one hundred thousand miles away from the society at that time! I still remember that I drew them down with pencils, and the elementary school students asked mefor it! Remember reading Dickens's David Copperfield, the illustration inside was so beautiful! I didn』t understand the difference between Dora and Aenes at the time. I didn』t understand that young and light Anna wanted to marry an old doctor. I didn』t understand that  aunt was going to take the oldtime lover of Alzheimer』s. I didn』t understand that the young widow wanted to marry a  fierce husband. I only knew that the best food for the British is the pine-baked lamb chops!
