斷背山

最近熱衷的事之一
莫過於每天追著＜Brokeback Mountain＞的評論文章與新聞跑
對於這部已被讚譽為「偉大的愛情片」的電影
我跟期待P&P上映一樣
熱切地期待它明年與觀眾見面
（預定95年1月20日在台灣公映）
前天無意間挖到了這篇小說的英文原著
原本想放上來跟大家分享
但我明白CC版主對線上閱讀的堅持
所以還是打了退堂鼓
不過
當年這篇短篇小說是在NEW YORKER雜誌上首度刊載
昨天NEW YORKER終於在網站上放上了這篇小說
所以大家都可以連過去讀個過癮了
連結如下：

真的對英文沒輒的
可以到書店去買時報出版的中文版

有趣的是
NEW YORKER剛剛張貼的原文小說部份
跟我之前找到的略為對照後
似乎少了開頭兩段
我在這裡補上開頭的這兩段
大家讀完這兩段後
再連過去看NEW YORKER的版本吧：

[color=0000CC][font=Courier]Ennis Del Mar wakes before five, wind rocking the trailer, hissing in around the aluminum door and window frames. The shirts hanging on a nail shudder slightly in the draft. He gets up, scratching the grey wedge of belly and pubic hair, shuffles to the gas burner, pours leftover coffee in a chipped enamel pan; the flame swathes it in blue. He turns on the tap and urinates in the sink, pulls on his shirt and jeans, his worn boots, stamping the heels against the floor to get them full on. The wind booms down the curved length of the trailer and under its roaring passage he can hear the scratching of fine gravel and sand. It could be bad on the highway with the horse trailer. He has to be packed and away from the place that morning. Again the ranch is on the market and they've shipped out the last of the horses, paid everybody off the day before, the owner saying, "Give em to the real estate shark, I'm out a here," dropping the keys in Ennis's hand. He might have to stay with his married daughter until he picks up another job, yet he is suffused with a sense of pleasure because Jack Twist was in his dream.[/font][/color]

[color=0000CC][font=Courier]The stale coffee is boiling up but he catches it before it goes over the side, pours it into a stained cup and blows on the black liquid, lets a panel of the dream slide forward. If he does not force his attention on it, it might stoke the day, rewarm that old, cold time on the mountain when they owned the world and nothing seemed wrong. The wind strikes the trailer like a load of dirt coming off a dump truck, eases, dies, leaves a temporary silence..[/font][/color]
