Chapter 664: Norwegian Forests

"Noregian -ood, what's the problem?"

Anmi said loudly with a frown.

Zhang Chu hurriedly shook his head, "I think the title of this song sounds very meaningful." ”

According to the Chinese translation tradition, the name of this song is "Norwegian Wood", which reminds Zhang Chu of a very famous one.

When he was on Earth, he used to run to listen to the Beatles' song because of it, but he didn't understand what it was trying to say!

So he simply discussed it with Anmi, a die-hard fan, at this time, "I've actually heard this song, but I can't guess the content of it." ”

If you describe it according to the content of the song, it is actually a sad story of a boy who meets the girl he likes on the street, but is dumped in the end.

"In fact, there is still a lot of controversy about the translation of this song title, some people say it is called Norwegian wood, and some people say it is called Norwegian Forest. After all, OOD is wood, and OODS is forest. ”

Zhang Chu laughed, and he said loudly: "I guess I have to ask the members of the Beatles who wrote this song, they should have an answer!"

Anmi spread his hands: "John Lennon is no longer alive, and the lyrics he writes often don't even know what he means, and his biggest preference is to write inexplicable things for us fans to guess." ”

It is said that this is about a relationship between John Lennon and the only time he was rejected by a girl.

The lyrics of this song are very interesting, the boy once went to her room with the girl, and the two couldn't find a chair to sit on and drank and talked on the carpet.

But when the boy tried to sleep with the girl, he was refused, and eventually crawled into the bathroom and slept there, and when he woke up the next morning, he was alone.

Many people think that Noregian-ood refers to the fact that the girl's house is made of Norwegian wood, which is interpreted by another group of people as a boy who finds himself lost in the Norwegian forest, whether he soaked the girl himself or the girl himself, which is very inexplicable.

Wake up to an empty room as cold and deserted as a Norwegian forest.

"Actually, Mr. Yu Guangzhong is very disapproving of translating this song into "Norwegian Wood", I forgot what I said exactly, search for it. ”

Anmi could see that Zhang Chu was very interested in this song, so he picked up his mobile phone to look for Mr. Yu Guangzhong's evaluation.

["Eraser Soul" before "Sichuan Pepper Juncao", there is a famous song called "Norwegian Wood", which is confusing and has caused a lot of controversy. In fact, many people didn't even understand the topic, and Lennon had no intention of writing it in the first place. The first three sentences are already ambiguous: "I had a girl, / or should I say / she once had me." She took me into my room, asked if it was good, and said "Norwegian wood." So translating "Norwegian Wood" is not right. 】

In fact, in terms of words alone, the words of this song are not complicated, but what the combination of the two words means, even Zhang Chu, a person with advanced English proficiency skills, does not know.

I'm afraid only John Lennon in heaven knows what he means by what he wrote!

He is now thinking of Haruki Murakami's book "Norwegian Wood", a work that has attracted much attention in the history of modern literature.

Haruki Murakami has not been heard of in this world, because there is no such name among the popular candidates for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Haruki Murakami's writing style is different from the style of Japan's strong reflective literature and even great social changes, which can be called a clear stream, which is quite similar to Western literature.

His works are widely known all over the world and are also very popular in China!

His most famous work is "Norwegian Wood", which begins with a song of the same name, sung by the most famous rock band in Britain, The Beatles.

Throughout the whole text, this song can connect the basic character relationships, and at the same time, it also plays a certain role in the sublimation of the theme.

"Norwegian Woods" sold more than 3 million copies when it was published in the 80s of the last century, and caused unprecedented repercussions among young readers, and even the phenomenon of Haruki Murakami and Norwegian forests appeared!

On average, every 30 people in Japan own a copy of "Norwegian Wood", which is hugely influential.

Since then, the influence of this film has gradually expanded, transcending national borders, and many Asian countries and even European and American countries have introduced and translated this film.

A writer who is still hot after 30 years, and a work that has been a bestseller for 30 years, can definitely be said to have withstood the baptism of time!

Zhang Chu remembered that he regarded "Norwegian Wood" as a young love, and recalled the day he met this in middle school.

It was in a corner of my bookstore, the brightness outside the window was dappled on the ground, and the mood and rhyme of the words in it were just in line with the heart that was ready to beat when I was a teenager.

In addition to the fascinating content, the depiction of xing and love fascinates young people even more, some versions have been cut, while others have survived.

At that time, Zhang Chu flipped through the uncut version, and he would always stop and read it again and again in the wonderful places, and at the same time, he folded these page numbers and sold them to his classmates!

In this way, the students don't know where to pause, and the obvious signs are circulated among the boys in the class, anyway, the most folded corners and the dirtiest pages are the most exciting.

Speaking of which, this is also one of Zhang Chu's xing enlightenment books.

When I was young, I couldn't experience that kind of feeling, and I was more in pursuit of the feeling of reading, and there are a lot of similar plots in it, which is that young people try to use the relationship between the sexes to channel the feelings of loneliness, loneliness, and depression.

The forests of Norway have become the best forests of spirit and flesh!

The depiction of the relationship between the sexes is a topic that many literary works cannot avoid, and it is better to face it head-on than to hide it.

Haruki Murakami's writing is very concise and impressive, with almost no ***, sensationalism or moral elements, and he describes this somewhat intimate matter as if it were a very ordinary thing.

In fact, love is also a necessity for human survival as eating and sleeping for individuals, which is a common thing, and the more objective it is, the more fishy it is.

Sometimes it's because of love for you, sometimes it's because of loneliness, sometimes it's because of intimacy, these different scenes are depicted to express different things!

When I was young, I would be red-faced and overwhelmed by these descriptions, but when I grew up, I found that I could understand the feelings of the women in the story in a more specific and direct way through these descriptions.

Why is this book so incredible?

A lot of people are paying attention to this issue, a little bit of it, such as a love story in tears, a lonely and sentimental atmosphere, a nihilistic and hopeless mood, and so on.

In fact, in Zhang Chu's opinion, he thinks that tragedy is probably the biggest reason for this success!
