So that when I first read Norwegian Woods, I couldn't fully adapt to the delicate artistic description. I have always felt that every character and every plot are related. (For example, at first I always thought that Green Child was the paper girl that Zi Ling knew seven years ago. ) It turns out that I really think too much.
"Sex" is an unavoidable topic in Norwegian Wood. When I first read it, I only felt that every picture was delicate and not greasy, but the straightforward language was full of artistic charm. This is quite different from the description of naked desire and the story of full buttocks in White Deer Plain. Norwegian forests are more of a natural and peaceful beauty. After careful study, you will find that behind the brevity is the strength of the hero's soul.
Sex is a pleasure of human beings, and its proper description should be the progress of human civilization. In fact, people's efforts are all for the satisfaction of psychological desires. There are good desires and evil desires. For sex, if you only see his lascivious side, it is wrong.
The following is the best interpretation of the beauty of "sex" in Norwegian Forest that I saw on Douban.
In the translation of Norwegian Wood, the degree of sexual description is well grasped, not very sensational, but deliberately pursuing aesthetic feeling. No matter from the description of the scene or the use of language, it is in place, which embodies the aestheticism of Japanese literature and does not feel obscene at all.
The Norwegian Forest mentions homosexuality, oral sex, masturbation, watching pornographic movies and assisting communication. , but did not deliberately describe the various postures and words of sex, or particularly sensational environmental description and action description.
When I first read this book, I didn't have a girlfriend, and some didn't understand or pay attention to sex. On the issue of homosexuality, I am afraid this book is my enlightenment. I didn't understand it before. The book says, "At this moment, she put her arms around my back and groped for it. I have a strange feeling gradually. I am on fire. It's no wonder-cuddling in bed with the girl who is as beautiful as cut out of a painting, and every time I touch her, my body is like being dismembered. By the time I understood, she had taken off my shirt and bra. I just woke up and knew that the child was a real lesbian. I experienced it once before, with a girl in senior three. I said no to that girl, stop it. "
Reiko Kobayakawa paid the price of eight years' physical and mental recuperation, because the girl who was cut in this painting was sexually handicapped. With the increase of experience, I don't know which year I suddenly understood the possibility of such a thing.
The most beautiful description of sex in the book is Naoko showing his body in front of Watanabe at night. Naoko under the starlight is like a statue, a masterpiece of God's perfect art, and she is sacred and inviolable. I think everyone will explore the artistic connotation from Naoko, not just realize that it is a woman's body. This scene is a classic picture of this article. Every time I see this place, a movie-like picture will appear in my mind.
The original text reads as follows: "I stretched out my hand to touch her. Naoko suddenly shrank back, his lips trembling slightly. Then, I raised my hands and began to unbutton my pajamas slowly. There are seven buttons, and I seem to be still dreaming, watching her untie them one by one with slender fingers. When all seven small white buttons were unbuttoned, Naoko took off his pajamas from his waist like a molting insect. The only thing on her is that butterfly hairpin. After taking off his pajamas, Naoko still knelt down and looked at me. Naoko's body bathed in soft moonlight looks like a brand-new body just born, soft and radiant, which makes people fondle it. Every time she moves a little-it's really a momentary micro-motion-the part projected by the moonlight slides subtly, and the shadows of her whole body are deformed, just like ripples on a quiet lake. What a perfect figure it is-I think. When did Naoko start to have such a perfect figure? "
The most touching description in the book is Naoko taking the initiative to masturbate Watanabe. Every time I see this, I feel Naoko's understanding of Watanabe and his determination to turn himself into a normal person and return to Watanabe. What a nice girl, but in the end ... the original text is as follows:
"Fool!" Naoko felt naught.
"If you are asking yourself if you are impulsive, it is true. You don't have to ask. "
"hmm? Don't say' don't ask', ok? "
"Well, forget it." I said.
"That smell, is it bad?"
"What?"
"Impulse."
"Excuse me?" I asked.
"So, is it ... uncomfortable?"
"See what you think."
"Will you let it out for you?"
"by hand?"
"hmm." Naoko said.
Looking at the neutral description in Norwegian Forest, we can deeply understand the original intention of integrating sex into life. Different from some books in China, this book does not use argot to describe sex, but flows naturally like a mountain stream, without avoiding or exaggerating.
Japan's Yamato nation is a nation with gender contradictions, which is both conservative and quite open. In the book, Watanabe and Yongze go to aid exchanges. At the end of Watanabe, Ling He thinks of Naoko while making love, which is unacceptable to many traditional China people. I experienced a process of understanding the sexual description in the book, from the stimulation of 20 years old to the gradual understanding after 24 years old. Among them, 1995, engaged in the entertainment circle in Shenzhen, gained a qualitative understanding after deeply understanding the popular "house" phenomenon in the south.
Sex is normal and lies in the grasp of the sex actors themselves.
Think of that Zen saying: "sixty years ago, I regarded mountains as mountains and water as water;" Thirty years ago, I saw mountains as mountains and water as water; " Now the old woman looks at mountains or mountains and water or water. "
Some excerpts from this book
1, "I have read this letter hundreds of times. I feel sad every time I read it. That's exactly the same kind of sadness I felt when Naoko stared at me. I can't express this indescribable mood, and I can't hide it in my heart. It has no outline and no weight, just like a gust of wind blowing. I can't even wrap it around me. The scenery passed slowly before my eyes, but its language failed to reach my ears. "
2. "I leaned against the railing and looked at the fireflies carefully. Fireflies and I haven't moved for a long time. Only the night wind swept over us. The beech tree rustled against countless leaves in the dark.
I waited a long time. It was a long time before the fireflies got up and flew away. It suddenly spread its wings and immediately passed through the railing, and the faint fluorescence slipped in the dark. It quickly dragged the halo around the water tower, as if to save lost time. In order to wait for the wind to ease, it stopped for a while and then flew east.
After the firefly disappeared, the track of that light was still imprinted in my mind for a long time. That faint light, like a lost soul, wandered in the dark and heavy night.
I reached into the night several times, but my fingertips didn't touch it. That little light always kept a little untouchable distance from my fingertips. "
3. Qing Zi snapped his hands together on the table, pondered for a moment, and said, "Not so good. You don't smoke? "
"I resigned in June."
"Why did you resign?"
"Too much trouble. For example, the bad smell when I quit smoking in the middle of the night, and so on. So I quit my job. I don't want to be tied down by anything. "
4. However, during the quiet meal time in such an environment, I miss the noise of people inexplicably. That laughter, that empty and boring cry, that grandstanding voice, all make me feel kind. I was really tortured by noise before, but once I ate fish in this wonderful silence, my heart always seemed to lack a sense of sureness. The atmosphere of this canteen is similar to the exhibition venue of special mechanical tools: people who have a strong interest in a certain field gather in a specific place to exchange information that only their peers can understand.
5. "Have you never been afraid of life?" I asked.
"I said, I'm not that stupid." Yongze said: "Of course, sometimes I have a sense of horror about life, which is a matter of course!" However, I don't recognize it as a prerequisite. I will give full play to my ability and never stop until I reach the limit. Take what you want, don't take what you don't want, and live like this. If not, we'll think about it when not. On the other hand, an unfair society is also a society with great potential. "
"It sounds like a natural thing." I said.
"But I won't look up and wait for the apple to fall into my mouth. I am doing my best, and my efforts are ten times that of you. "
"I'm afraid so." I admit it.
"So, sometimes I look around the world and I get angry-why don't these guys know how to work hard? Why complain if you don't work hard? "
I looked at Yongze's face in surprise: "In my impression, people all over the world are working hard. Am I wrong? "
"That's not hard work, just labor." Yongze flatly said, "The efforts I mentioned are quite different from this. The so-called efforts refer to active and purposeful activities. "
