What I Talk About When I Talk About Running 我说的其实是 （村上春树自传） 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

Murakami's latest is a nonfiction work mostly concerned with his thoughts on the long-distance running he has engaged in for much of his adult life. Through a mix of adapted diary entries, old essays, reminiscences and life advice, Murakami crafts a charming little volume notable for its good-natured and intimate tone. While the subject matter is radically different from the fabulous and surreal fiction that Murakami (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle) most often produces, longtime readers will recognize the source of the isolated, journeying protagonists of the author's novels in the formative running experiences recounted. Murakami's insistence on focusing almost exclusively on running can grow somewhat tedious over the course of the book, but discrete, absorbing episodes, such as a will-breaking 62-mile ultramarathon and a solo re-creation of the historic first marathon in Greece serve as dynamic and well-rendered highlights. Murakami offers precious little insight into much of his life as a writer, but what he does provide should be of value to those trying to understand the author's long and fruitful career. An early section recounting Murakami's transition from nightclub owner to novelist offers a particularly vivid picture of an artist soaring into flight for the first time. (Aug.)

希望一人独处的念头，始终不变地存于心中。所以一天跑一小时，来确保只属于自己的沉默的时间，对我的精神健康来说，成了具有重要意义的功课。至少在跑步时不需要和任何人交流，不必听任何人说话，只需眺望周围的风光，凝视自己即可。这是任何东西都无法替代的宝贵时刻。

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. 这便是他的真言。其微妙的含义难以正确地翻译，明知其不可译而硬译，不妨译成最为简单的：“痛楚难以避免，而磨难可以选择。”

他们并不知道，打东北方从不间断地吹来的贸易风（信风），让夏威夷变得何等凉爽；他们也不知道，在鳄梨树那风凉的树荫下安闲地读书，兴之所至便去南太平洋的海湾里游泳，这样的生活，让人感到何等幸福。

欧内斯特•海明威好像也说过类似的话：持之以恒，不乱节奏，对于长期作业实在至为重要。一旦节奏得以设定，其余的问题便可以迎刃而解。

诚然，我并非毫无争强好胜之心。不过不知何故，跟别人一决雌雄，我自小就不甚在乎胜负成败。这一性格在长大成人后也大致未变。无论何事，赢了别人也罢输给别人也罢，都不太计较，倒是更为关心能否达到为自己设定的标准。同样的说法也适用于写作。小说家这一职业，至少对我来说，是无所谓胜负成败的。书的销量、得奖与否、评论的好坏，这些或许能成为成功与否的标志，却不能说是本质问题。写出来的文字是否达到了自己设定的基准，这，才至为重要；这，才容不得狡辩。别人大概怎么都可以搪塞，自己的心灵却无法蒙混过关。在这层意义上，写小说很像跑全程马拉松，对于创作者而言，其动机安安静静、确确实实地存在于自身内部，不应向外部去寻求形式与标准。

人的心灵中不可能存在真正的空白。人类的精神还没有强大到足以坐拥真空的程度，即使有，也不是一以贯之的。

然而随着年龄的增长，我们逐渐认识到，这样的苦痛和创伤对于人生而言，其实很是必要。想起来，正是跟别人多少有所不同，人才得以确立自我，一直作为独立的存在。

无论做什么事儿，一旦去做，我非得全力以赴不可，否则不得安心。将店铺随意交托给某个人，自己躲到别处去写小说，这种讨巧的事情我做不来。竭尽全力埋头苦干，还是干不好，就可以心安理得地撂开手了。然而，如果因为模棱两可、半心半意而以失败告终，懊悔之情只怕久久无法拂去。

一日之中，身体机能最为活跃的时间因人而异，在我是清晨的几小时。在这段时间内集中精力完成重要的工作。随后的时间或是用于运动，或是处理杂务，打理那些不需高度集中精力的工作。日暮时分便优哉游哉，不再继续工作。或是读书，或是听音乐，放松精神，尽量早点就寝。我大体依照这个模式度日，直至今天。拜其所赐，这二十来年工作顺利，效率甚高。

随即，吃的食物也一点点发生了变化，食物以蔬菜为主，蛋白质主要靠吃鱼摄取。我一直不太喜欢吃肉，愈发吃得少了。少吃米饭，减少酒量，使用天然材质的调味品。而甜的东西，我本不喜欢。

书籍介绍

In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he'd completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and on his writing. Equal parts travelogue, training log, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and settings ranging from Tokyo's Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him.Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical, "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running" is rich and revealing, both for fans of this masterful yet private writer and for the exploding population of athletes who find similar satisfaction in distance running.
