Ex. “这都是你嫂子留下来的，当年你嫂子就是凭着这种劣势站备推倒的三座大山。” “特别睹物思人是吗？慢慢地，慢慢地给我痛说家史。” "Your sister-in-law left it [a handbag] here. It's full of things she used to topple the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratism." "And you held on to it as a keepsake, right? I'd like to hear this slice of history. Take your time." 「過去出國回來，伊總是很歡喜的打開這只皮箱，因為裡面裝的大多是伊的作品，」睹物思人，許玉燕在記憶的沈思裡輕輕喟嘆。 "When he would come back from a trip abroad, my husband would always happily open this trunk, because it was mostly full of his own work," Hsu says, sighing softly as she remembers. 她不願獨守舊屋，睹物思人，一狠心把住了30年的新店花園新城房子賣了，遠到台北的另一頭──淡水──去找尋新生的力量。 She wasn't up to maintaining by herself the old family house at the Huayuan Hsincheng housing complex in Hsintien, where she lived for 30 years and which holds so many memories for her. Thus she made up her mind, sold it and moved to Tanshui on the other side of Taipei, looking for new energy in her life. 寫作的方式其實也能相呼應，例如古詩「青青子衿，悠悠我心……青青子佩，悠悠我思。」，睹物思人的創作， There are even echoes in the writing itself. For instance, take this line of verse from the Book of Odes, which describes how objects can evoke memories of a person: (LA) 爺爺過世已滿一年，奶奶仍時常睹物思人，對著他倆的婚戒流淚。 |
