《乞力马扎罗的雪》双语解读第12期

梗概

哈里的思绪从战后的巴黎跳跃到了童年湖畔的小屋，那些曾经和爷爷一起打猎钓鱼的日子。那些召唤人们用餐的铃铛，房子后面的田野，田野后面的森林，以及小屋里的，还有上吊自杀的旅店老板，这一切都似乎把我们带入了海明威自己的故事中----童年和死亡。

金句

You see they were his guns still and he never bought any others. Nor did he hunt any more. The barrels of the guns that had hung on the deer feet on the wall of the log house lay out there on the heap of ashes and no one ever touched them.

你知道那仍旧是他的枪，他再也没买过别的。他也不再去打猎了。曾挂在鹿角枪架上的枪管还躺在那堆灰里，再也没有人碰过它。

The next year came the inflation and the money he had made the year before was not enough to buy supplies to open the hotel and he hanged himself.
下一年赶上通货膨胀，上一年赚的钱还不够他购买开旅店所需的东西，他于是上吊死了。

Like all men with a faculty that surpasses human requirements, his father was very nervous. Then, too, he was sentimental, and , like most sentimental people, he was both cruel and abused. 
正如所有拥有惊人天赋的人一样，父亲是神经质的，同时又多愁善感，而多愁善感的人多数既残忍又愚蠢。
 
Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another. 
人生终点都相同，能让你与众不同的是你如何过一生。
