裴淳华 | 和迪奥一起走进英国最古老的书店

I’m excited to invite you into a very, very special place. This is Hatchards in London’s Piccadilly. It’s one of the oldest book shops in our capital, built in 1797. As part of the Dior Book Tote Club, I’d like to welcome you inside.很高兴能邀请你们来到一个非常非常特别的地方。这里是伦敦皮卡迪利大街的哈查兹，是首都最古老的书店之一，建于1797年。作为迪奥托特手提包俱乐部的一员，欢迎你们的光临。
You come into a bookshop and you just see everybody’s interest, you just follow People’s minds. All the little whims that go off in all of our brains, followed to the ultimate degree by these authors, and it blows my mind really.走进书店，你会看到每个人的兴趣，然后跟着他们的想法走。所有在我们脑海中闪现的奇思妙想，都被这些作者演绎到了极致，这真的让我很震惊。
This is Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road”. I was on a road trip with my father and we went to the west coast of Scotland which is remote and wild and the house that we were staying in had a very  interesting collection, small collection, of books. And one of them was this one.这是杰克·凯鲁亚克的《在路上》。我和我父亲一起去了苏格兰西海岸，那是一个偏远又荒凉的地方，我们住的房子里有很多有趣的收藏，还有一些藏书，其中一本就是《在路上》。
It’s travel, It’s sex, it’s drugs, and maybe it was way too adult for a 14 year old in fact it definitely was. So, am I ready to see if this book still stirs me like it did when I was 14? I think I am. I’m going to re-read it.这本书是关于旅行，关于性和毒品的，对一个14岁的孩子来说，这或许太成人化了，事实上也确实如此。那么，我想看看这本书是否还能像我14岁时那样激起我的共鸣。我想我准备好了。我要把它重读一遍。
Here’s my second book. I wanted to talk about “Slouching Towards Bethlehem”, which is a collection of essays by Joan Didion, who is one of the most concise, pertinent observers of people.第二本书，我想谈谈《向伯利恒跋涉》这本书，这是琼·狄迪恩的散文集，她是最简洁、最中肯的人类观察者之一。
One of the essays in this collection that I love is her essay on self-respect. She says: “Although to be driven back upon oneself is an uneasy affair at best, rather like trying to cross a border with borrowed credentials.” Nice.这本书我最喜欢的是她关于自尊的一篇文章。她说：“尽管遭遇挫折，大不了就是一件不安的事情，就好像试图拿着借来的证件过境一样。”写的太棒了！
“It seems to me now the one condition necessary to the beginnings of real self-respect.Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well-lit back alley where one keeps one’s assignations with oneself.”“但在我看来，现在第一要紧的事就是重新建立真正的自尊。尽管我们大多数的陈词滥调都表明自欺是没有用的。对别人起作用的小把戏，实质上毫无用处，因为在亮堂堂的后巷，自己清楚自己干了些什么。”
It’s always worth spending time with Joan Didion. She was curious, and I think curiosity is where freedom lies and interest lies.  花时间读琼·狄迪恩永远是值得的。她充满着好奇心，我觉得好奇心真是自由和兴趣的所在。
The third book that I’m going to put in my Book Tote: “A Little Life” by Hanya Yanagihara.This is truly one of the most brilliant, devastating, magnificent novels I have ever read. It’s a book that will make you cry.第三本我要放进我包里的书是柳原汉雅的《渺小一生》，这确实是我读过的最精彩、最震撼、最壮丽的小说之一。这是一本会让你流泪的书。
I don’t know how she wrote this book. It’s one of those books where you think “How did this come out of you? How have you made these people we care about so blisteringly? How have you done this?” It’s a book I didn’t want to leave behind. I’m going to slip it into my bag.我不知道她是怎么写出这本书的。这是一本让你觉得“这是你怎么写出来的？你是怎么把我们关心的这些人写得如此栩栩如生的？你是怎么做到的？”这是一本我不想落下的书。我要把它塞进我的包里。
Oh, we’re coming to the children’s section. Oh, we didn’t even talk about children’s books. But there are so many here that I would put in my tote. “The Apple is Everything” that’s a book for me. One of my favorite things in life are apples.I love all their complex shapes and tastes.我们要去儿童读物区了。哦，我们还没谈到儿童读物呢。但这里有很多我想放进手提包的书。《苹果就是一切》这本书很适合我。苹果是我生活中最喜欢的东西之一，我喜欢它们所有复杂的形状和味道。
Well, I’ve just learnt something that, erm, in French “Tomber dans les pommes” is to faint, which is a very nice expression. I need this book in my life, I’m afraid.啊，我刚刚在书里学到了一些东西，法语中“Tomber dans les pommes”意思是晕倒，这是一个非常好的表达。恐怕我的生活中离不开这本书了。
Whenever I’m missing England, I read Thomas Hardy. That is “The Mayor of Casterbridge”. This is a terrible story about a man who sells his wife. It’s a moment of total irrational hubris.每当我想念英国时，我就读托马斯·哈代的书。这本是《卡斯特桥市长》，一个关于男人出卖自己妻子的可怕故事。那是一个完全失去理智的的狂妄时刻。
I think I’ve never been interested in speed reading because I like the sound of the words. I don’t want to just read for information, because I think part of the meaning is in how words work rhythmically.我觉得我对速读从来都不感兴趣，因为我喜欢文字的声音。我不想只为获取信息而阅读，因为我认为文字的部分意义在于它们能有节奏地运作。
You know, the other really magical thing about the Dior Book Tote Club is that we are shooting in a bookshop after closing, which has a very special feel about it. Because there’s nobody here.迪奥托特手袋包俱乐部还有一个非常神奇的地方，那就是我们在书店打烊后进行拍摄，这给人一种非常特别的感觉。因为这里没有人。
I’ve only recently discovered how brilliant graphic novels are. It’s about women in their 50s falling out of love with their husbands, going dancing, meeting men. It’s about sex and work and frustrations, and it’s just not what you would expect at all.我最近才发现漫画小说是如此精彩。有一本书讲述的是一位五十多岁的女性与丈夫不再相爱、去跳舞，结识男人的故事。它讲述的是性爱、工作和挫折，和你想象的完全不同。
Books move you, but it’s already really wonderful when books make you laugh.It would also be a good present for my mum, on Mother’s Day.书能让人感动，但也能让人发笑，这已经是非常美妙的事情了。这也是母亲节送给妈妈的好礼物。
A wonderful thing, of course, in a bookshop you can travel the world while sitting still. And I know that in here is an invitation to spending time in some interesting company.当然，在书店里，你可以静静地坐着环游世界，这是一件美妙的事情。在这里，你可以与有趣的人共度美好时光。
