這二天多 我不自量力讀起日文長篇小說:我相信憑著網路上的日文和英譯本,我一定可以將它翻譯成中文。兩周來記兩位故友的消息,我看到Before
the Dawn translated by William E. Naff 的翻譯者的介紹說,他臨終仍翻譯司馬遼太郎的8卷本坂の上の雲。未成,恨事。(又記載某美國教授組織三人翻譯團隊要3年完成它,可恨。前一陣子我為紀念司馬遼太郎,拿起《劍橋遼·西夏….史》讀了八十幾頁,還沒進入狀況。放棄。

Murakami家中有梧侗木的古琴等,他下海撈起一些水產來補充外頭叫來的豐盛的壽司。他是性情中人,笑起來天真得很。我告訴燕說,不要多吃才是社交禮節,而燕說,在日本,多吃才是禮。我送主人煙和茶,卻自覺不夠氣派。
1988年起我離開AMP公司之後,就沒有與他聯絡過。我希望他還能到日本海裏去撈東西……
在Facebook的流言版讀到旅居加拿大的James。他的故事稍長點。最重要的是我們可以重新交友。

風よ静かに彼の岸へ
こひしき人を吹き送れ
海を越え行く旅人の
群にぞ君はまじりたる
八重の汐路をかき分けて
行くは僅に舟一葉
底白波の上なれば
君安かれと祈るかな
海とはいへどひねもすは
皐月の野辺と眺め見よ
波とはいへど夜もすがら
緑の草と思ひ寝よ
もし海怒り狂ひなば
われ是岸に仆れ伏し
いと/\深き歎息に
其嵐をぞなだむべき
楽しき初憶ふ毎
哀しき終堪へがたし
ふたゝびみたゞめぐり逢ふ
天つ恵みはありやなしや
あゝ緑葉の嘆きをぞ
今は海にも思ひ知る
破れて胸は紅き血の
流るゝがごと滴るがごと

到小田原城,此地多少北條風霜。
六點去吃大餐,竟然費36000,我分8000回去報帳。買些蛋糕就回Park Inn。不知何事,我認為他們不合情理。

This series is dedicated to the great romantic composers of
the piano — Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn, Frédéric Chopin, Robert
Schumann, Franz Liszt and Johannes Brahms. Each of these composers made
the piano the center of their compositional worlds. On the Season Finale
of The Romantic Piano, David Dubal features works from all six of these
influential composers, showcasing their connections to each other.
Paganini had an incredible influence and effect on all six
of our romantic composers and because of this he is the spiritual father
of romantic virtuosity. Schubert was the first to hear the great
violinist in Vienna in 1828. It was the first city that Paganini
conquered. Mendelssohn heard him in Berlin and was stunned, and then
Chopin in 1829 in Warsaw.
Liszt heard all 10 recitals that Paganini gave in Paris and took
notes. Schumann became breathless with excitement when he heard him in
Leipzig, so much so that he began to transcribe his caprices just as
Liszt was doing in Paris. Schumann was so impressed that he recreated
Paganini's violinistic playing in his great Carnivale by way of one minute's worth of piano writing.
Besides Paganini, all six of these romantic composers had a strong
bond, and all knew one another except for Schubert; he had died just a
bit too early for camaraderie. However, later, Liszt became Schubert's true champion. He edited Schubert's piano sonatas and transcribed 55 of his songs.
