LE JARDIN DES MOTS

In the 3rd episode of Le Jardin des Mots, I talk about my journey with French, and how this language led me into a world I had never truly known before — the Middle Ages and Le Roman de la Rose.

在第三期节目里，我谈起自己与法语的缘分，以及这门语言如何带我走进一个从前未曾真正认识的世界——中世纪与《玫瑰传奇》。

The song I mentioned (我提到的歌曲):

Peppermoon/Pierre Faa - Un coin tranquille à Shibuya

The poem I mentioned (我提到的诗):

Paul Verlaine - Il pleure dans mon cœur

Il pleure dans mon cœur

Comme il pleut sur la ville ;

Quelle est cette langueur

Qui pénètre mon cœur ?

Ô bruit doux de la pluie

Par terre et sur les toits !

Pour un cœur qui s’ennuie,

Ô le chant de la pluie !

Il pleure sans raison

Dans ce cœur qui s’écœure.

Quoi ! nulle trahison ?…

Ce deuil est sans raison.

C’est bien la pire peine

De ne savoir pourquoi

Sans amour et sans haine

Mon cœur a tant de peine !

在第二期节目里，我谈起自己学习日语，以及这些年来阅读日文书的经历。从第一次去日本、遇见惠文社和文库本，到村上春树、太宰治、川端康成、谷崎润一郎，再到《源氏物语》和《枕草子》，回望这条从日语出发、最终走向平安时代的漫长阅读之路。

In this second episode of Le Jardin des Mots, I talk about learning Japanese and my journey of reading Japanese books over the years. From my first trip to Japan, and my encounters with Keibunsha and Japanese bunko books, to Haruki Murakami, Osamu Dazai, Yasunari Kawabata, Junichiro Tanizaki, and finally The Tale of Genji and The Pillow Book, I look back on a long journey that began with the Japanese language and eventually led me to the Heian period.

在第一期节目里，我谈及自己与普鲁斯特及《追忆似水年华》的三次相遇，分享普鲁斯特之于我的诗意，以及多年前我写过的一首小诗——《月份之诗》。

In this first episode of Le Jardin des Mots, I talk about my three encounters with Marcel Proust and In Search of Lost Time, and share what Proust has come to mean in my life. I also read a short poem I wrote several years ago, A Poem of the Months.
