娘娘腔才会看伊妮德•布莱顿的书,我看W. E.约翰斯上尉写的《消失的战线》。
Go karts hadn’t been invented. We made trolleys, out of old pram wheels from the tip, held together with boards. Lethal, they were, down the muckstacks.
我们还在垃圾堆刨东西做成雷鸣战机。那时还没有卡丁车。我们把旧婴儿车的一端和木板合起来,就是一个手推车。
Good times, simple pleasures, still strong in the memory. Collecting shells on the beach was never as satisfying as making castles of sand and driftwood, then watching the tide destroy them.
那些美好的时光,简单的快乐,都在记忆中挥之不去。沙滩捡贝壳绝对比不上用沙子和浮木做城堡,然后看潮水将其摧毁。
Growing older, there was collecting and swapping cigarette cards of footballers and engines, and graduating to three-card brag.
长大一些后,我们喜欢收集、交换印有足球运动员和军械的香烟卡片,再后来,我们爱玩三张扑克游戏。
Then you realised girls were more interesting than trainspotting. The big boys’ game arrived, and innocence departed.
后来,你会发现女孩子比猜火车更有趣。大男孩的游戏就此展开了,童真也从此远去。
注:electronic wasteland(电子荒漠)指人们沉迷于电子产品,导致情感和文化荒漠化。
