【Fire and Ice (1920)】

Robert Frost (1874-1963)

        Some say the world will end in fire,

        Some say in ice.

        From what I've tasted of desire

        I hold with those who favor fire.


        But if it had to perish twice,

        I think I know enough of hate

        To say that for destruction ice

        Is also great

        And would suffice.

【《火与冰》(1920)】

名望·冰冻(1874生—1963卒)

【红霞译】

                有人说世界毁于火,

                有人说灭于冰。

                根据我所领悟的欲望

                我赞同毁于火。

                

                但如果它要死上两回,

                我想我通晓仇恨

                冰对于毁灭来说

                同样身手不凡

                而且实力雄厚。

【注】宽岛港是通往英国佬岬岛(Cape Breton Island)的门户,我的远足观光便从矗立在码头那把世界最大的同乐会大提琴开始。宽岛市最初由联合帝国保皇派(United Empire Loyalist)于1785年为躲避美国独立战争而建,曾为英国殖民地英国佬岬岛的首府,直到1820年该殖民地与新苏格兰省合并,省会才迁至大海港市(Halifax)。

宽岛市丰富的自然资源吸引了来自不同种族和文化背景的移民,进而建立起繁荣的煤炭和钢铁工业。20世纪60年代后,煤炭和钢铁业走向萧条,当地经济受到重创,不少工人只好离乡背井,大举南下宾州世界钢都——匹斯堡以求重操旧业,从此靠天吃饭赖地穿衣的大好时光一去不再复返。

英国佬岬岛盖尔“强大”(Gaelic)根基深厚,被视为北美唯一使用强大语言的地方,很多地名都与苏格兰高地一脉相承,高地村真实再现了苏格兰高地后裔移居加拿大东部地区生活,堪称天然历史博物馆和文化中心。

发明电话的贝尔,也即“勇士·灰色家园·美丽”(Alexander Graham Bell)的避暑庄园坐落在金臂湖畔逆流村,他在这里成功地设计了早期飞机“银镖号”(Silver Dart)、水翼艇(Hydrodome 4)和诸多专利,被纳入国家历史遗址。
