【書摘】索多姆和戈摩爾半夢半醒之間 (Sleeper V.S. Slumber) 2
Le temps qui s’écoule pour le dormeur, durant ces sommeils-là, est absolument différent du temps dans lequel s’accomplit la vie de l’homme réveillé. Tantôt son cours est beaucoup plus rapide, un quart d’heure semble une journée ; quelquefois beaucoup plus long, on croit n’avoir fait qu’un léger somme, on a dormi tout le jour. Alors, sur le char du sommeil, on descend dans des profondeurs où le souvenir ne peut plus le rejoindre et en deçà desquelles l’esprit a été obligé de rebrousser chemin.
(l’édition Gallimard, Paris, 1946-47)

對睡眠者來說,在睡夢中度過的時光,與清醒之人忙碌生活的時光是截然不同的。忽而,似水光陰流得要快得多,睡一刻鐘似乎過了一晝夜;而有時卻細水長流要漫長的多,以為才打個輕盹,實際上已經睡了一整天。是的,登上睡眠之車,人們越走越遠,越陷越深,連記憶都跟不上自己了,失去了記憶,思想只好走回頭路。
(p.406~407
追憶似水年華 IV索多姆和戈摩爾 聯經版 1992)

The time that elapses for the sleeper, during these spells of slumber, is absolutely different from the time in which the life of the waking man is passed. Sometimes its course is far more rapid, a quarter of an hour seems a day, at other times far longer, we think we have taken only a short nap, when we have slept through the day. Then, in the chariot of sleep, we descend into depths in which memory can no longer overtake it, and on the brink of which the mind has been obliged to retrace its steps.
(Translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff )

The time that elapses for the sleeper, in sleep of this kind, is utterly different from the time in which a waking man’s life transpires. Its passage may now be far more rapid, a quarter of an hour seeming like a whole day; or at other times much longer, we think we have just dozed off, and have slept right through the day. And then, on sleep’s chariot, we descend into depths where the memory can no longer keep pace with it, and where the mind stops short and is forced to turn back.
(Translated by John Sturrock)
