【書摘】索多姆和戈摩爾半夢半醒之間 (Sleeper V.S. Slumber) 5-1
Nous possédons tous nos souvenirs, sinon la faculté de nous les rappeler, dit d’après M. Bergson le grand philosophe norvégien, dont je n’ai pas essayé, pour ne pas ralentir encore, d’imiter le langage. Sinon la faculté de se les rappeler. Mais qu’est-ce qu’un souvenir qu’on ne se rappelle pas ? Ou bien, allons plus loin. Nous ne nous rappelons pas nos souvenirs des trente dernières années ; mais ils nous baignent tout entiers ; pourquoi alors s’arrêter à trente années, pourquoi ne pas prolonger jusqu’au delà de la naissance cette vie antérieure ?
(l’édition Gallimard, Paris, 1946-47 )

我們擁有我們的全部記憶,要不便是擁有回想這種種記憶的能力,偉大的挪威哲學家根據柏格森先生的言論這樣說,可我未曾試想模仿哲學家的言辭,以免延誤時間。要不便是回想這種種記憶的能力。但是,什麼算作回想不起來的記憶?要不,乾脆扯遠一點。我們回想不起來我們這三十年的往事;但我們卻完全泡在這種種記憶之中;為什麼到三十年就煞步不前,為什麼不把以前的生活延伸到出生以前的歲月?
(p.411
追憶似水年華 IV 索多姆和戈摩爾 聯經版1992)

We possess all our memories, but not the faculty of recalling them, said, echoing M. Bergson, the eminent Norwegian philosopher whose language I have made no attempt to imitate in order not to prolong my story unduly.
But not the faculty of recalling them. But what, then, is a memory which we do not recall? Or, indeed, let us go farther. We do not recall our memories of the last thirty years; but we are wholly steeped in them; why then stop short at thirty years, why not prolong back to before out birth this anterior life?
(Translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff )

We possess all our memories, if not the faculty of recalling them, says, following M. Bergson, the great Norwegian philosopher, whose language I have not tried to imitate, so as not to slow things down any further. If not the faculty of recalling them. But what is a memory that we cannot recall? Or let us go further. We do not recall our memories of the last thirty years, but we are totally steeped in them; why, then, stop at thirty years, why not continue this previous existence back beyond our birth?
(Translated by John Sturrock)
