《百年孤独》是哥伦比亚作家加西亚·马尔克斯创作的长篇小说,是其代表作,也是拉丁美洲魔幻现实主义文学的代表作,被誉为“再现拉丁美洲历史社会图景的鸿篇巨著”。
作品描写了布恩迪亚家族七代人的传奇故事,以及加勒比海沿岸小镇马孔多的百年兴衰,反映了拉丁美洲一个世纪以来风云变幻的历史。作品融入神话传说、民间故事、宗教典故等神秘因素,巧妙地糅合了现实与虚幻,展现出一个瑰丽的想象世界,成为20世纪重要的经典文学巨著之一。以下本书中10个金句赏析:
1. The secret of a good old age is simply an honorable pact with solitude.
一个幸福晚年的秘决不是别的,而是与孤寂签订一个体面的协定。
2. The past was a lie, that memory has no return, that every spring gone by could never be recovered, and that the wildest and most tenacious3 love was an ephemeral truth in the end.
过去都是假的,回忆是一条没有归途的路,以往的一切春天都无法复原,即使最狂乱且坚韧的爱情,归根结底也不过是一种瞬息即逝的现实。
3. Many years later as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buend was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.
多年以后,奥雷连诺上校站在行刑队面前,准会想起父亲带他去参观冰块的那个遥远的下午。

阻止了我的脚步的,并不是我所看见的东西,而是我所无法看见的那些东西。你明白么?我看不见的那些。在那个无限蔓延的城市里,什么东西都有,可惟独没有尽头。
9. We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
