| 【書摘】女逃亡者—阿爾貝蒂娜之死 (Albertine’s death) 12-1 Mais à quoi bon, puisque si même, alors, elle avait eu le temps de se reconnaître, nous n’avions compris l’un et l’autre où était notre bonheur, ce que nous aurions dû faire, que quand ce bonheur, que parce que ce bonheur n’était plus possible, que nous ne pouvions plus le réaliser. Tant que les choses sont possibles on les diffère, et elles ne peuvent prendre cette puissance d’attraits et cette apparente aisance de réalisation que quand, projetées dans le vide idéal de l’imagination, elles sont soustraites à la submersion alourdissante, enlaidissante du milieu vital. (l’édition Gallimard, Paris, 1946-47) 即使她當時來得及認識自己，我倆也只能在幸福已不可能實現或者正因為幸福已不可能實現時才會雙雙明白我們幸福之所在，明白我們應當做些什麼，而且明白這一切我們都做不到了，之所以做不到，或因為我們在可能做這些事情時把事情延誤了，或由於這些事情只有被投進想像中的空泛理想而且從有生命的環境的淹沒中掙脫出來，從那使一切變得累贅而醜陋的淹沒中掙脫出來時才可能獲得強大的魅力並且顯得容易實現，既然如此，那又何必為之呢？ (p.95~96 追憶似水年華 VI 女逃亡者 聯經版 1992) But to what purpose, since even if, at that moment, she had had time to see herself as she was, we had neither of us understood where our happiness lay, what we ought to do, until that happiness, because that happiness was no longer possible, until and because we could no longer realise it. So long as things are possible we postpone them, and they cannot assume that force of attraction, that apparent ease of realisation save when, projected upon the ideal void of the imagination, they are removed from their burdensome, degrading submersion in the vital medium. (Translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff) But to what avail, since even if then she had had the time to recognize her true self, both of us would have understood where our happiness lay and what we should have done, only when, and only because, this happiness was no longer possible and no longer attainable. As long as things are possible, we defer them, and they can assume their power of attraction and their apparent ease of accomplishment only when, projected into the ideal void Of the imagination, they are withdrawn from immersion in the cloying, degrading morass of real life. (Translated by Peter Collier) |
