    思想汇报

    《浮士德》草草看完了一遍,不得不承认还是没看太懂。书中用的西方典故极多,希腊神话、圣经、当时时代状况,都不是很熟。译成中文的诗歌语言也有点奇怪。不过,总算知道《浮士德》讲述的大概情节,模模糊糊地竟然有一点触动。

    浮士德起初的形象好像叫做魔术士和经院学者,皓首穷经而一无所成。我似乎看见了自己的影子,才鼓起勇气读下去。浮士德久久陷于思辨无果的沮丧,几乎失去了活下去的信心,幸好回忆起童年美好的生活,在自杀前一秒停手。全书另一个主角是魔鬼梅菲斯特,他跟天主打赌,如果能引诱浮士德安于享乐,止步不前,就能将浮士德的灵魂据为己有。梅菲斯特来到人间,和浮士德签下灵魂契约,带领浮士德深入世间,寻求丰富的生活。浮士德凭着善良和向上的本性,向各种激情、至善、至美的绝顶挑战,每一次却都是一场悲剧。在此期间,梅菲斯特一面帮助浮士德,一面也将他诱向满足、懈怠、堕落,可以说每一个悲剧的造成都有梅菲斯特暗中诱惑的因素。浮士德最终失明,以为自己筑堤事业热火朝天,志满意得间,发出了“停留一下吧,你多么美啊”的感叹,让梅菲斯特赢了。

    这本书的体裁是诗剧,又不好读,所以能记住的不多。印象深刻的只有几句话,几个场景。比如第一部的书斋里,梅菲斯特把中世纪的学问讽刺了一个遍,向学生道:尊贵的朋友,所有理论都是灰色的,生活的金树常青。在第二部开头,浮士德置身大自然中,面对壮美的飞瀑和彩虹,悟出:我们是在五彩折光中感悟人生。等等。

    零零散散地看过一点:《停滞的帝国》,讲清朝外交的,好多话琢磨起来特难听,但绝不是辱骂,那里的事实都是发人深省的;《西方哲学的故事》,这本书其实不错,虽然比较浅显但是文字流畅、内容圆通;《近现代建筑语言》;《采访本上的城市》,一本记者写的扎扎实实的访谈录,了解到不少事的来龙去脉。又捡起《哲学研究》,这回下到了英文版。我还想读斯通写的《凡高传》,想读陀思妥耶夫斯基的《罪与罚》。读书好啊……

    买了Beatles的Yellow Submarine。很奇怪,Beatles的专辑在书店只有这一张。还是CD给劲,就连耳机都能听出音质和mp3不一样。
