It scares me to think that anyone could think those horrors could be
justified at any cost…
另一位回复说:
What scares me even more is to think that there are people who are so
ideologically rigid that they can’t understand how things like this are
sometimes necessary…
所以如果说起今天的纪念日,我不觉得它只是青年的激情和破坏力,如果你非要把它看成这样,那么青年的激情和破坏自有其历史性的非凡意义,正如1968年展现的那样。破坏,难道不正是超越神话暴力、走向神的暴力的关键吗?很奇怪,写到这一步,很容易被误解为宣扬暴力和无秩序,可实际上,正如我开头就提到的,对于行动我是极度的怀疑,需要足够的经历、了解,才能够真正的投入行动,才能投入到真正叫做”行动”的过程中去。
每次一发感慨就离题万里,本来是要赞美60年代的流行音乐来着。最近很迷恋这个:where do you go to (my lovely), 1969年的#1 hit,非常的60年代。
Where Do You Go To My Lovely
Peter sarstedt
You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And theres diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are
You live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do
You go to the embassy parties
Where you talk in Russian and Greek
And the young men who move in your circles
They hang on every word you speak, yes they do
But where do you go to my lovely
When you’re alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
I’ve seen all your qualifications
You got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does
When you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan les Pines
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs
And when the snow falls you’re found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet-set
And you sip your Napoleon Brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no you don’t
But where do you go to my lovely
When you’re alone in your bed
Won’t you tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
You’re in between 20 and 30
A very desirable age
Your body is firm and inviting
But you live on a glittering stage, yes you do, yes you do
Your name it is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, a ha-ha-ha
They say that when you get married
It’ll be to a millionaire
But they don’t realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
But where do you go to my lovely
When you’re alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do
I remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly born tags, they tried
So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go on forget me forever
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do
I know where you go to my lovely
When you’re alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
`Cause I can look inside your head
OUP有一套可爱、简洁、无所不包的科普读物:Very Short Introductions,
我经常在驹场生协书店的一角“立ち読み”,自由意志、佛教伦理、精神分裂、罗马帝国、哈贝马斯、现代中国、文学理论、时间的历史——总之是无所不包,但是从来不曾想过买一本,这个页数对它的价格太不值得,在生协书店他们卖1600yen一本。但是这次既然在网上买de
Botton的新书,总归要花运费,不如多买几本,看到这套每本大概在5英镑左右,就忍不住点了几下,以及一个“The Thought Box
Set”,该盒子里还有一本附赠”A very short introduction to everything”,
属于那种让你读了觉得世界如此奇妙,又可以如此简洁——因此值得一活的介绍,我觉得科普读物做成这样,很不错。
昨日再次艳阳高照之下重访神保町,狭窄逼仄的楼梯间觅得一本“Idealism,
Politics and
History”——确切点说不是我觅得的,是同去的目光如炬的张旭东老师先看到,然后拿给我看,而我当时完全没有领会意思,翻了一下说有意向买,他就一滴汗——“我也想买来着”,但是人家作为资源便利的xx教授xx主任自然不屑于跟我计较这么本小书,于是我就喜滋滋地捡了便宜。更觉捡便宜的是,回来后据我的google,所有网上可用的资源,都是卖30美元到140美元不等,而那家阴暗ws的田村书店卖800yen(8美元)!实在是我心甚慰。。
