夜色溫柔

•   菲茨杰拉德是我個人非常喜歡的作家，《夜色溫柔》是其代表作之一，不可不看。這個書的質(zhì)量也很不錯，你值得擁有。
•   本來是抱著多少也要了解美國文化的心理去讀，但讀到一半就被內(nèi)容深深打動，讀到結(jié)尾甚至哭了出來。如果說《了不起的蓋茨比》多少打動人還是因為我對蓋茨比那樣的單戀抱有好感，這次則是對迪克的痛苦感同身受。壓抑自己照顧他人，結(jié)果最后連自我都迷失了，既是菲茨杰拉德自身的真實悲劇，也是發(fā)生在千萬自認(rèn)為善良然而又軟弱自私的人身上的常見的故事。

•   　　Carelessness and Indulgence are shared qualities of female characters in Fitzgerald’s works, The Great Gatsby, Tender is the Night, and Winter Dreams.
  　　In The Great Gatsby, Daisy regrets that Gatsby is still alive and comes back to her after she has married Tom for his money and class. Although she confesses to Gatsby that she still loves him, she uses him as a tool to deal with unhappiness. She does not appear on Gatsby’s funeral, which is caused by her, and moves away to continue her life. Being carelessness is the best way for her to keep her status in the upper class, and this is the way she will teach her daughter to be a “pretty little fool.”
  　　In Tender is the Night, Baby and Nicole, daughters of a Chicago magnate, work together to contribute to the decadence of Dick Diver, a promising psychiatrist. However, the sisters master different kinds of carelessness. Baby wears her purposes in her manner with money as the invincible means to achieve her goals. In her first encounter with Dick, she puts out her family background and tells Dick that she is willing to buy a doctor for her mentally disturbed sister, Nicole. Later, when Dick needs the fund for a clinic that will start a prosperous career for both Dr. Gregory and himself, Baby “generously” provides him with the large amount of money upon Dick’s request. She is delighted to see that Dick takes care of Nicole in an entangled relationship, and making a monetary compensation is her expertise. As of Nicole, she seems to have a reasonable excuse for her carelessness. Two identities exist in her: the one that stabs Dick with his love for her as an entertainment, and the one that shows her love for Dick by delicate confessions and sincere apologies. She, a feeble patient, and her husband, a prominent doctor, have an unequal relationship in terms of their properties. Thus, Nicole attempts to pull Dick down to her level, although she might be unconscious of it and blame it to her illness. Although Nicole does not anticipate that Dick still appeals to young women with merely his appearance, she succeeds in making Dick indispensable to her. Rosemary does care for the relationship she has with Dick, but Mrs. Hoyt consistently teaches her to use this relationship as a practice necessary for her growth and future career.
  　　In Winter Dreams, everyone is attracted by Judy’s beauty, who uses her physical appearance as a weapon to control relationships. Even the way she smiles is pretentious. Ironically, she wonders why she is not happy even with her beautiful face. But a tint of despondency never shadows the dainty landscape on which she runs around laughing without caring about knocking people over.
  　　
  　　我愛你，所以我要以不自知的名義毀掉你。
  　　我愛你，所以我愛那個因為和你在一起而腐朽的自己。
  　　
  　　
•   　　我想象菲茲杰拉德是這種人：他們的敏感脆弱使自己不聽使喚地陷入命運的兇險大浪；他們的理性再不斷跳出對此種情景加以描寫、分析和嘲諷。當(dāng)然描寫幾乎就是嘲諷了。他們清楚，對自己的命運投入過多的憐憫是丑陋的。
  　　
  　　他寫自己的經(jīng)歷到這種程度：要求澤爾達(dá)刪除她小說的一些段落，因為那是對他們共同生活片段的描述，而這些片段已經(jīng)在他的小說里用過了——聽起來不怎么美好，好像很缺乏想象力；但情況其實是，他的想象力和石黑一雄或尤瑟納爾那種進(jìn)入他者生活的想象力不同。他不斷地發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的生活——小說中有如下一段描述：
  　　
  　　Dick had no suspicion of the sharpness of the change; he was profoundly unhappy and the subsequent increase of egotism tended momentarily to blind him to what was going on round about him, and deprive him of the long ground-swell of imagination that he counted on for his judgments.（迪克清醒地意識到生活的急劇變化，他為此深感不安，但隨后不斷滋長的自我中心使他一時對身邊正在發(fā)生的事情視而不見，并剝奪了他綿長充盈的想象力，而他原本是憑借這種想象力做出判斷的。）
  　　
  　　這大致能解釋作者想象力的類型。
  　　
  　　這個以他自己的生活為素材編造的寓言是從其鼎盛處開始的。下面是描寫戴弗夫婦給露絲瑪麗的觀感：
  　　
  　　Rosemary bubbled with delight at the trunks. Her na?veté responded whole-heartedly to the expensive simplicity of the Divers, unaware of its complexity and its lack of innocence, unaware that it was all a selection of quality rather than quantity from the run of the world's bazaar; and that the simplicity of behavior also, the nursery-like peace and good will, the emphasis on the simpler virtues, was part of a desperate bargain with the gods and had been attained through struggles she could not have guessed at. At that moment the Divers represented externally the exact furthermost evolution of a class, so that most people seemed awkward beside them--in reality a qualitative change had already set in that was not at all apparent to Rosemary.（她天真稚嫩，對戴弗夫婦這種奢華的單純滿心喜歡。她并沒有意識到它的復(fù)雜，它的世故；也沒有意識到他們的這種生活方式其實是更注重質(zhì)量，而不是擁有一大堆世界各地的廉價品；她同樣意識不到他們行為舉止的樸素大方，他們的和藹及友善，他們對普通美德的強調(diào)，都離不開同神靈作艱苦的討價還價，都是通過一系列她還無從推斷的斗爭而獲得的。此時此刻，戴弗夫婦外在地代表著一個階層的最大程度進(jìn)化，這使得大多數(shù)人相形見絀——事實上，一種質(zhì)的變化已經(jīng)開始，而蘿絲瑪麗竟漠然無知。）
  　　
  　　特別是迪克?戴弗那種讓人如沐春風(fēng)的個性：
  　　
  　　But to be included in Dick Diver's world for a while was a remarkable experience: people believed he made special reservations about them, recognizing the proud uniqueness of their destinies, buried under the compromises of how many years. He won everyone quickly with an exquisite consideration and a politeness that moved so fast and intuitively that it could be examined only in its effect. Then, without caution, lest the first bloom of the relation wither, he opened the gate to his amusing world. So long as they subscribed to it completely, their happiness was his preoccupation, but at the first flicker of doubt as to its all-inclusiveness he evaporated before their eyes, leaving little communicable memory of what he had said or done.
  　　
  　　看到在第一部開頭已經(jīng)擁有自我修煉完成的美好品性和風(fēng)度的迪克，在第三部結(jié)尾處卻愚蠢地展示體能的時候，誰都會覺得難過；即便他隨后自嘲地扳回一點點，我們還是可以強烈體會到妮可的鄙視，那種一敗涂地的觀感。
  　　
  　　發(fā)生了什么呢？很難說發(fā)生了什么。這種故事，作者已經(jīng)不給出主題了，你不必在其中辨識并不熟悉的信仰形態(tài)、價值形態(tài)甚至感情形態(tài)。因為你已經(jīng)可以隨便地把自己的情緒投射其中，仿佛那種壓抑正是你此時此刻所經(jīng)歷的，盡管他講的是些和你扯不上關(guān)系的事。只是情節(jié)無關(guān)緊要——即使里面充斥著亂倫、精神分析、出軌等等看上去觸目驚心的，情節(jié)也無關(guān)緊要。
  　　
  　　全書如夢如幻的場景描寫、慵懶隨意的敘述節(jié)奏甚至具體用詞都無時無刻不在宣告一種“一去不返”或者“回不去了”的悲涼，仿佛把人的思緒輕輕放到一床溫暖輕柔的絨毛被面上：昏昏欲睡、無比傷感——不止如此，里面又時常有犀利的目光射出，讓人驀地驚醒，仿佛脖子里溜進(jìn)一滴春雨，透徹的寒顫。
