读书笔记：The Catcher in the Rye

PorcoRosso989

虽然这本书很有名，但读之前，我对它的内容一无所知。读了几页就发现，这是一本年轻人的书，书里充满了年轻人的愤怒、焦躁和迷茫。我能理解这种情绪，但好像已经没办法感同身受，只能做个局外人在旁边看。想起前一阵发现netflix上新上了很多宫崎骏的动画，过去基本都看过，但还是很想再看看。看了红猪，龙猫，哈尔的移动城堡，终于在看From Up On Poppy Hill的时候不想再看了。这些都是年轻人的电影，里面充满了青春的气息和热情。即使红猪这部算是成熟男人的电影，也要靠年轻人的热情来调动。这些电影好像都已经不属于现在的我，这种局外人的感受有点难受。

回到The Catcher in the rye，看了一小半的时候，都还在心理想，这本书总该讲点什么吧，一个故事？一个道理？看了一大半，终于明白，从普通小说的角度来看，它什么都不会讲，没有故事，没有道理，就是一个年轻人的心灵流水账，甚至没有起伏没有波折没有升华，可是它又是那么的真实，这就是17岁，17岁就是这个样子，自恋，迷茫，焦躁、愤怒。

大概很多人会喜欢书里点题的这一段：

Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody’s around – nobody big, I mean – except me. And I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff – I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That’s all I do all day. I’d just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it’s crazy, but that’s the only thing I’d really like to be.

其实我在想，就我自己，我不想做这个catcher，我也不想管那成千上万的跑来跑去的孩子，那是人家的生活，和我没关系。我就想自己做个跑来跑去的快乐的孩子，或者看着我关心的人开心的跑来跑去。我喜欢最后一段：

I got pretty soaking wet, especially my neck and my pants. My hunting hat really gave me quite a lot of protection, in a way, but I got soaked anyway. I didn't care, though. I felt so damn happy all of a sudden, the way old Phoebe kept going around and around. I was damn near bawling. I felt so damn happy, if you want to know the truth. I don't know why. It was just that she looked so damn nice, the way she kept going around and around, in her blue coat and all. God, I wish you could've been here.
