SICK
It's all SICK, I feel sick
I'll be sick, then it's fine
I'm conform to your norm
With a bucket full for me
I'll be free, finally
I will see what you mean with your freedom

This world you call home
Not alone, happy drone
Won't be sick of these cars
All these clothes, and these bars
All these sickening scars
I'll believe in the way
Of the stripes and the superstars

I will fall in line and obey
'Cause the price is so small
Almost nothing at all
If I'm just losing ME
Then the ideals and truths
Will follow naturally
Happily I will settle for
Your conformative apathy

If I could just get rid of this
Unsettling, uncomfortable
Unbendable
Bucket of insight and honesty
This SICK SICK SICK bucket of reality
But you see, see; this sick will stick
'Cause it's ME
It's ME

Step into the dark age of treason
Today the only voice of reason
Would have to be the sound
Of the soup of the season
Hitting ground
Hitting ground...

SICK!
Feeling sickened by this fucking travesty
Is just a sign of sanity
You're not alone
And every time that you hurt
Every cut, every scar
And every time you just hate
Everything that you are
It is simply the instinct to flee
To escape from this mess
This continuous rape
Of what's true and what's real

So you gnaw at your paw
To get out of this trap
Of the cage, of our time
All that rage
Is your struggle to survive
They think you wanna die
When in truth you just strive
Biting every hand
Just to stay alive

But can you hear that sound
In your ear, growing louder and louder?
The whole world around you
A pounding and grinding
That tells you that you're not alone
It's the sound of thousands and thousands
Of vixen teeth
Hitting BONE

Step into the dark age of treason
Today the only voice of reason
Would have to be the sound
Of the soup of the season
Hitting ground...

SICK...
Of these bars and these cars
I feel sick
You are making me sick
So sick
You are making me sick
It's all sick
We're all sick
You are making me sick

Soup of the season
Hitting ground


2. Spitfall

[1: Introducing Star]

(We saw you every day)
with your hands on your crotch and so much to say
You went from bouncing toy cars with golden motors
To neon striped BMWs and a court of drugged up nodders and quoters
Namefucking fame on all photos,
All cheered on and applauded by even richer promoters
Now when you're a star, when you've reached this far
And the world really knows who you are
(really?)
You show off your six black Mercedeses and drink Cristal like they all do
And the poor outside your gates appall you,
And the only hood you see is the one on your car
Do you even have a clue as to who you are?
Bro, I don't think so
I mean Mercedes, what a stiff old dull fart's republican shit car
Sick of hearing you preach to the poor like before,
Only now you're a coward, only letting TV through your door
Getting older, take a bow and just go
The rage on the stage getting colder like your hits on the chart,
But then the talk shows can still get you hard
Doin' rhymes on your prime time fistfights
And spittin' grime in the limelight like a star gets a chip off your shoulder,
A boulder that rolls and rolls over and over and over

There's nothing like a broken childhood
There's nothing like a broken home
There's nothing like a tale from your hood
There's nothing like a record of restriction orders
Outspoken borderline disorders, a violent long way to the top
The longer that you fought yourself up, the longer the spitfall

[2: Thus Quote The Craving]

You're so fucking lost that with all of the costs
You still don't see that in reality
The one thing you fail to buy yourself is a personality
You're trapped in a mould of the rap, you sell but you're sold
I mean, can't believe that you're paying all that gold to some home decorator that hands you buckets of conformity
Seems you're losing your way together with your policy man,
Ending up with a new definition of poverty - it's a joke
Like those you make in every video to reach the kids with the dough,
With every copied "aha yo" and worn out "bro"
Guess what we need is yet another clown who can feed our breed with another look and hooker hook
Now when "bitch" is mundane you take the lead with "wassup ho" and let TV blur your mouth once more
Just what we need in every store, thus quote the craving: "forever more!"
You're so right - a shiny knight on a white steed, truly a hero
Yeah right
Fuck you - fuck you right down to the core!
You know what? You're just another "Parental Advisory" bore!

There's nothing like a broken childhood
There's nothing like a broken home
There's nothing like a tale from your hood
There's nothing like a record of restriction orders
Outspoken borderline disorders, a violent long way to the top
The longer that you fought yourself up, the longer the spitfall...
When you're rappin' your shit y'all

[3: Redefining Vomatorium]

(Yo)
I guess when you're that loaded you'd better empty the barrel
Every chance you get, is that so?
Empty your word and pose magazine, in magazine after magazine,
Let every shot go, let the shit flow
'Cause the show must go on and on and on - you're it bro!
But it's sad to know, when your star implodes, all that shit hits the fans, just like your words back when you shone
But it's getting late in the game, trapped in repeating your name, again and again,
Like you're scared we'll forget it
Can't blame you, apart from that name you're all embarrassingly the same, it's so lame - can't you get it?
And perhaps you are right in that fear - more sane than you appear in your self deploring cock obsessive koks delirium
But I say, to me you just redefine the old romans' vomatorium

There's nothing like a broken childhood
There's nothing like a broken home
There's nothing like a tale from your hood
There's nothing like a record of restriction orders
Outspoken borderline disorders, a violent long way to the top
The longer that you claim that you have fought yourself up, the longer the spitfall...

[4: Man Of The Masses]

You're a man of the masses, took all the classes
Their asses are yours
All those bores who are paying the bills for your palace uphills
And your pills that will help you proceed in your greed
You are free of the chains that you need on your fans to adore, to kneel down before you,
More precious to you than your brains and your hands
They live for you!
If you could just see this old tree, this patriarchic hierarchy, up where you want to be, you need miles of roots to lick your boots
Don't you see?
You're a man of the masses, you need all those asses, their fate to relate to the one that you were
Do you know who you are? Who are you? Not the one in your words that they buy
They concur,you conquer, though a natural flunker,
You need them to stay not fly, to obey like the dogs that they are, the cogs under the hood of your Mercedes car
They will pay for your trip to the stiff upper lip
You're a man of the masses, your trip is a journey through classes
You are high, they are low, and you need it to be so
See, without them you'd be nothing more than before, and you know that's not much
It's just or unjust such: just a sad little man... with his hand on his crotch

There's nothing like a broken childhood
There's nothing like a broken home
There's nothing like a tale from your hood
There's nothing like a record of restriction orders
Outspoken borderline disorders, a violent long way to the top
The longer that you fought yourself up, the longer the spitfall...
The longer the spit falls...
When you're rappin' your shit y'all

[5: YO]

You're just another "Parental Advisory" sticker surfing beach boy
Yo!


3. Cribcaged

The only cribs that we should care for
Are the ones that we are here for
The ones belonging to our children
That do that we do, scar from our wounds

The only cribs that make a difference
Where the magic really happens
Don't come with a Mercedes Benz
Or a wide screen showing nothing
Showing nothing...

I'm sick of home control devices
Sick of sickening home designers
Sick of drugs and gold and strip poles
Sick of homies, sick of poses

Despite the nodding staff that serves you
Despite your name on clothes and perfume
Despite the way the press observes you
You're just people... you're just people...

Successful people
Dressed up people
Smiling people
Famous people
Red carpet people
Wealthy people
Important people -
But still just people

So fuck the million dollar kitchen
Fuck the Al Pacino posters
Fuck the drugs, the gold, the strip poles
Fuck the homies, fuck the poses
Fuck the walls they build around them
Fuck the bedroom magic nonsense
I don't want to hear their voices
As long as they vote with their wallets

Fuck the silly "throw you out" joke
Fuck the framed cigar DeNiro smoked
Fuck their lack of originality and personality
Fuck this travesty
Fuck this new norm
Fuck conformity
Fuck their Kristal
Fuck their sordity
Fuck the way they fuck equality
Fuck their freebie gear
Fuck the ones they wear

(you're just people - you're just people...)

Successful people
Dressed up people
Smiling people
Famous people
Red carpet people
Wealthy people
Important people -
But still just people

Messed up people
Shallow people
Stupid people
Plastic people
Meta people
Theta people
Therapyople
Entropyople

Oh, fuck the ones they wear

I'm cribcaged
Cribcaged

The only cribs that we should care for
Are the ones that we are here for
The ones belonging to our children
That do what we do, scar from our wounds


4. America

You brought us the a-bomb in so many ways
Endorsed by God and The Book
So God loves a war monger?
Hey Mr. Blix: forget Iraq and the time it took
'Cause I know just where to look

"Could we have a vote please?"

They came with a song - America
They wouldn't stay long - America
We are America
God bless America
God bless America and Capitol Hill
'Cause no one else will

So now you are scared
The Arabs will kill for their god
Like you do for yours?
Protect your obesity with your life man
Hey - Angry God or Diet Coke?
Who cares it's all a joke

"Heil homo pecuniae"

Saving us yet another time
Earning a buck on every dime
Sick of America
Sick of America
Sick of America and Capitol Hill
Moving in for the next kill

Did you say "I love you"?

A simpler democracy
Where every flaw and failure is called a "Right"
A new form of freedom
Based on your income, your color, creed
And your choice of gun
But it provides great fun

"Dr. Phil or Oprah?"
"Letterman or Leno?"
"Idol or Big Brother?"

(we'll be back after this short break)

It could have been good America
It could have been great America
Land of the brave and free
Welcoming you and me
But this Brave New World is not as new anymore
Each day a new store
Each year a new war
While chosen whites rule the poor

...in America

Oh, America
Don't you walk out on me?
Just wait a second now
Please hear me now
Oh... I'll do my best to love you
Oh yes I will
I know you're out there
C'mon
Raise your voices
Don't let them ruin your reputation
Don't let them wreck your constitution
Not out of fear
Not out of greed

But you had a good run America
Your day in the sun America
Hello British Empire
Hello Roman Empire
Hello Soviet
There is a new kid in town
Joining the gone down
Finding what you found
Treading your worn - worn down ground

Rise to your former glory
Be brave and warm
Oh America

If I say I love you
If I say I love you
If I say I love you
Dare you love me too?


5. Disco Queen

[One: Tonight I'll Fall]

Tonight I'll fall, looking for something wonderful yet casual
Extraordinarily temporal, and there you are - let's go!

You hooked me on the dance floor
So here I am, back for more

You seem experienced, just an inch too keen on getting exposed
Having your face in every magazine
You're far from being unique but you still look pristine
Mundanely exotic, like the French cuisine

My Disco Queen - let's disco...

[Two: A Cheap Sellout Drug]

You're a cheap sellout drug on everyone's lips
Covered every day, done every way, a whole world at your hips

A bar to fit, the beats you take
Another hit and you will break

Undressed in front of me, all glistening ebony
You're still so young, but I will show you vintage 33
I lay you on your back - inviting curves of black
Making little noises as my needle finds your track

My Disco Queen - let's disco
Disco Queen - let's disco...

[Three: A Tighter Groove]

You leave me wanting more, panting on all four
I know there's more to pluck, and so I go for the encore

I am turning you around, to play your other side
A tighter groove, I want it but I tremble, slip and slide

Baby, you're just what I need
You purr when I make you bleed

I pump you till you cry - feel so alive
I crank you up and switch to 45

A screaming climax chord, I give you all I've stored
A moment's silence and you're filled up, yet emptier than before
Oh - that subtle little sound as I am pulling out
A finished dish upon my plate is what it's all about

A square round of greed
You surrendered to the rhythm, spinning around your hole
Disco made you famous but tonight you tasted soul

I pumped you till you cried - felt so alive
I cranked you up and switched to 45
You are just begging for more
But I unlock the door

(tonight I'll fall...)

You're old news now and so I leave you trembling on the floor...

[Four: My Disco Queen]

My Disco Queen...
My Disco Queen - let's disco...


6. Kingdom of Loss

Someone sells us Toys?in a cheap cartoon
Someone sells us Cars?in the latest Bond?that's coming soon
Someone sells us Trends?through a sitcom star
Someone sells Herself?in a docu-soap that goes too far

Life?on sale!

"Could someone please just tell me what happened?
I mean, first we pay for fast-food that will make us all fat and tired.
So then we pay for elevators, so we won't have to climb the three stairs up to our apartments.
Then we buy freaking stairmaster?machines
So we can burn away while watching someone make real food on TV.
Now, if that doesn't make us winners I don't know what will.
I bet we would hang ourselves if the world would just cut the slack.
And now you think maybe you should see a shrink,
Help you feel alive again - yeah, that's a plan!
Just tell us who to pay.

Someone sells us Man?in a White House?speech
Then Woman?tightly pressed between two bouncing breasts, on a Baywatch?beach
Someone sells us Us?everywhere I turn
Then introducing Them?to earn stock-points on our concern

All for sale, all for sale

Welcome down to planet Earth?br> Please don't ask us what it's worth
You will notice that the world you found
Is slightly tattered and worn down

Someone sold us every stain
Now if you wish to complain
There's an open spot at 6 PM
It's when Caucasia is listening

If you're tearing down my world
Please just try to do it gently
There is love inside
For a dream that has to die

"See, it's really all about time and choice.
The fast food saves us enough time to squeeze lunch in exactly when we want it.
The elevators save us just a little more, the StairMaster?lets us choose exactly when to walk the stairs.
Time is so important these days, it's becoming a fucking disease, and I guess in a way it is since it's bound to kill us all in the end.
Now with all the time and money we stash away on others' expense,
I can only assume that the tickets to hell are really expensive.
For some reason, it's important to be first in line."

Someone sells us God?in 2-for-1 with Shame?br> Someone sells us War?and the marketing looks just the same
Someone sells us Fear?on TV each day
a shape for every taste; if the flavour's right, we gladly pay

All on sale,
We're all on sale,

Welcome to the only Earth?br> Please enjoy your only birth
You will learn to take more than you give
Buying scars you must live with
Someone sold us every scar
They somehow made us what we are
We all want that spot at 6 PM
But no one is really listening

No - not anymore
We're all too busy buying Sex? buying War?br> Buying Self-confidence? Security? Insurance Plans?br> Just buying More & More?br>
As you're tearing down our world
Please just try to do it gently

There's still love inside
For the dream that has to die

As you're tearing down our world


7. Mrs. Modern Mother Mary

(We'll cut you down to size)
There is a woman burning at the center square
Raven black eyes and long let out hair
Screaming, while cloaked vultures holier-than-thou circle and glare
At sweat drops on pale skin like satin
And as the raging flames work her into cinder
Said in their defence:
Stupidity and ignorance, prejudice and intolerance
All sound so much wiser when dressed up in Latin

Life will never be the same
I have a bigger world since I found God
Truth will never be the same
I'm in a righter mind since I found God
(I found God)
I found...

Mrs Modern Mother Mary, all pale and weary
From raising her overweight kids in the outskirts of Suburbia
On a nice Christian gender based salary
And a church she can merely attend
And there on the flip-side of Caucasia we see
Miss Modern Mary Magdalene gone Deep Throat
On international cable TV

So you keep talking about progress and equality
But to me, the crusade is still on my friend

Silly me who always thought
Life was for the living
And giving in to lust
Was all to give and to be given

Life will never be the same
I have a better view since I found God
Guilt will never be the same
I'm on a higher ground since I found God
I found God...

Life will never be the same
I have a better view now
There's always someone else to blame
I'm on the winning team now
Death will never be the same
I'm in the faster lane now
No more am I the one to blame
I have a juster cause now

Love will never be the same
Lust will never be the same
Shame will never be the same
I will never be the same
And
You will never be the same


8. Idiocracy

Silence
Cold skin
Black mind
Blue light
Broken
Shut down
Knuckles
All white

Babel
Cold fact
Core mine
Black gold
Failure
Lockdown
Gun-hands
All sold

We're waiting, so close your eyes
Relax and take a deep breath now
Believe the lies
When you wake up you'll be democratized

Violence
Cold pin
Blood crust
Blinded
Damp sheets
Needles
Stale smiles
Sick bed

Guiltknife
Scarsoil
Sinstain
Killchrome
Footbare
Gone wrong
Blue lights
Bring me home

We're waiting, so close your eyes
Relax and take a deep breath now
Believe the lies
When you wake up we'll all seem nice
So close your eyes
Just take another deep breath now
And fantasize
Pretend the world we're forming
Is a paradise

Why can't I close my eyes?
Why can't I just be hypnotized,
Industrialized and privatized?
All mesmerized

'Cause I can see
And what I see around me makes me paralyzed
Yes I can see
And what I see is not worthy a democracy
It's uncivilized
So please close my eyes
I don't want to see this undemocratic,
semi-automatic mediocracy and hypocracy
Pretending we're free
Under plastic flags waving dependency
For this idiocracy

Close my eyes...


9. Flame To The Moth

I long for the summer
I long for the sun, gently touching my face
I'll open my eyes, let it burn every splinter
Unleash desert storms on its way to my heart

And I had this coming every day of my life
This is where I stop fighting, eyes open wide

You took this blade and cut a wreck
And in one blow laid bare your neck
Where did we go wrong?

I once had blue eyes, hungry and wise
Now they are black from this dark age of lies
We're all privatized, industrialized
We capitalize on the beams in our eyes
It's all in the eyes

Eyes - tearing with sorrow
Burning with anger and passion and lust
The swift wind of thought
Of wildness and laughter
The soil of defiance
The firm ground of trust

(we had this coming - every day of our lives)
(we should start fighting for eyes open wide)

But I am put here, in this world gone insane
Where everything's for sale
From nature, over stars down to DNA
Then I can gladly say
That I'd be the first to break that norm
Any day, any way
And the last to join the ranks
To hunt down the Daily Threat
Or any other brand of prey

You took this blade and cut a wreck
And in one blow laid bare your neck
Where did we go wrong?

We once had blue eyes, probing the skies
Now they are blackened from this modern life
All privatized, industrialized - a failure
Offensive and sore to the eye

One small step for man
Maybe this time I'll fly
And if I hit the ground, it's the way we all die
We are wrecks of the cut
Soups of the season
With dollar sign scars
From this dark age of treason

We all know how to cry
Then we learn how to smile
How to smile
We're all telling the truth
Tell us the truth!
Then we learn how to lie
And oh, how we lie
Now we lie

When you bow your heads tomorrow
At the world we build today
I want you to remember
That I stood my ground and said no (say no)
I said no...
Say no!


10. Enter Rain

"RUNNING"

In just a year another storm will come
To wash away an inch more blood
Its lack of hatred, politics or creed
Left us blind, open wide, our gun hands tied
For this old world has seen the worst of us
Its love worn thinner by the day
And every ounce of havoc, that we wreaked upon it
Got the best of us, oh, and the rest is for us

Let it rain...
Enter rain...
Exit pain

In seven years ago I'll see a man
A moment stretched out over years
His eyes just flicker and then something changed
An empty cage, a crimson bud, sprung out in mud

Let it rain

In just ten minutes I will see a child
Buying milk all dressed up in rags
And without thinking he will cover up his naked hand
To the cold, oh, and that gives me hope

Let it rain...
Enter rain...
Exit pain

"STANDING"

And the rain will wash us to the bone
Leaving thousands in its trail
Cleansing all the flesh wounds
Of our time, of every crime
Of every pound of dust and grime

In two seconds I will hit the ground
A moment stretched out over years
And my eyes will flicker and then something has changed
An empty cage, a crimson bud, a street of blood
A city rose sprung out to greet the rain

You'll never remember my name
But I will love you just the same
You'll never remember my name
But I love you just the same
Just the same
Just the same
You'll never remember my name
But I love you just the same
Just the same

"FALLING"

Enter rain...
(a city rose)
(a street of blood)

In two seconds I will hit the ground...

村上春樹獲卡夫卡文學獎



記村上春樹獲卡夫卡文學獎 讀者就是我的獎

賴明珠  (20061228)

除了文字的表象之外,村上作品能夠深入讀者內心的東西,則已經超越國界,超越語言,成為世界共通語。

2006年10月30日是個值得紀念的日子。這一天,村上春樹在捷克布拉格的舊市政廳接受「卡夫卡文學獎」。同一天,他的作品「終於悲哀的外國語」中文版,在台灣出版。


全世界的電視新聞中,都可以看到他領獎並以英語發表得獎感言。他說他第一次讀卡夫卡的作品「城堡」是15歲的時候,這樣奇特的小說讓他深感震撼,從此以後他重複讀卡夫卡的作品,成為他最喜愛的作家之一。
「海邊的卡夫卡」捷克語翻譯本於十月二十日出版。他說「這本作品是向卡夫卡致敬的,希望捷克人喜歡。」並引用了卡夫卡給朋友信中所提到的一段話「書必須打破自己內心凍結的海才行」,村上說「這正是我想寫的書」。

卡夫卡文學獎創立於2001年,今年是第六屆。只要有一部作品被翻譯成捷克語的作家都可以成為評審對象,由世界各國所選出的十位審查員審查。

2004、2005年的卡夫卡獎得獎者分別獲得當年的諾貝爾文學獎,使得這個獎備受世界矚目。也使得村上得諾貝爾獎的呼聲提高。然而,今年諾貝爾文學獎於10月12日公佈由土耳其的作家奧爾漢·帕穆克獲得。

稍早於10月24日愛爾蘭的「法蘭克.歐康納國際短篇小說獎(Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award)」剛公佈村上春樹以十分出色的短篇小說得獎。作品是以「盲柳與睡覺的女孩」為題名的短篇作品集,其中收錄了自1980年以來所發表過的短篇小說到去年所出版的「東京奇譚集」為止的25篇作品。

村上表示他並不在意得獎與否,對他來說,讀者就是他的獎賞。

村上春樹的作品已經在世界三十個以上的國家和地區,以各種語言被翻譯出版,並超 越國界廣受東西方讀者喜愛。

今年三月二十五、二十六日在東京,二十九日在札幌、神戶,分別舉辦了三場有關「尋春樹冒險記──村上春樹文學在世界如何被閱讀」的研討會。由日本國際交流基金主辦,來自世界十七個國家的二十三位翻譯家、作家、研究者應邀參加,齊聚一堂熱烈交談。全部紀錄由文藝春秋社於十月十五日出版單行本。來自世界的翻譯者分別發表不同意見。

俄國譯者柯巴列尼說「翻譯村上春樹的作品時,感覺好像和整個世界是相通的。」另一位俄國譯者洛格契夫說「村上春樹是最不像日本人的日本小說家。」

村上春樹的作品一般被認為文體深受美國影響,也就是說他創造出一種具有英語調子的日語書寫,讀起來彷彿翻譯文體。書中並經常觸及西洋文學、音樂、電影、食物、商品等西方文物。充分表現現代東西方文化交流的生活實況。因此他的作品在東方讀者讀起來具有西方奶油味。然而美國譯者傑魯賓卻說「村上作品特色的奶油臭味翻譯成英文時卻完全消失。」

波蘭譯者安娜.捷琳絲卡.艾略特說「村上春樹使人們對現代日本文學的看法有了革命性的改變。把日本文學中充滿異國色彩的東洋味去除,成為身邊親近的東西。」

除了文字的表象之外,村上作品能夠深入讀者內心的東西,則已經超越國界,超越語言,成為世界共通語。正如村上說過的那樣,他希望以最簡單的文字,表達難以用文字表達的東西。

挪威譯者依卡.卡明卡說「作家好像進入我的頭腦裡,感染了我對事物的看法似的,長久留下影響。」

對亞洲讀者來說,又因不同地區的政治、經濟和文化背景,而有不同的反應。

韓國譯者金春美說「對日本從前在亞洲的行為能真摯面對的村上春樹,引起韓國人的深深共鳴。」

印尼譯者鳩鳩九翰納說「翻譯『挪威的森林』時,日本人和印尼人的貞操觀的差異,使得翻譯的時候對性行為的描寫有所顧忌。」

同樣華語圈的譯者,來自馬來西亞的香港中文版譯者葉蕙說「讀者讀了村上春樹的書後,在孤獨的時候也能發現自己的生活方式。」

大陸譯者林少華未能出席,但在書面中表達。「改革開放後,過去擁有絕大威權的共同體被相對化,個人和自我意識的抬頭,使得都會青年熱愛村上作品。」(上)



記村上春樹獲卡夫卡文學獎 讀者是我的獎

賴明珠  (20061229)

村上作品擁有貫通東西方文化直搗人心的地方,既寬廣又深入。豐富的想像力、異想天開的幽默感和謎樣的故事在在吸引讀者。書中難以用道理和邏輯解釋的地方,讓讀者讀後還留下餘韻和不斷在心中繼續思索。勾引起屬於自己的新感覺。也因此引起讀者想要創作的強烈衝動。

無論在台灣、香港、大陸,都可以看到許多創作者的作品,所帶出的孤寂感和某些創作符號,例如幾米的圖文集,王家衛的電影,都難免令人聯想到村上春樹作品的某些意象。


德國譯者威.K.荷曼說「村上春樹好像邀請你說進來呀!然後,卻不讓你出去。」可見他的作品讀了真的會上癮。無論對東方或西方讀者,都同樣深具魅力。
如果要追究村上春樹作品的魅力來源。可以從他生長的故鄉,和他走過的國家循線找到一些蛛絲馬跡。

村上出生於文化古都京都,但隨即搬到神戶郊區,少年時期成長在神戶。父母親是國文老師。因此在小學以前可以說已經打下日文基礎。神戶是個向世界開放的大港,可以接觸到許多世界各國的東西。

中學時代家裡給他訂了「世界史」、「世界文學全集」,每個月到書店取書。他反覆閱讀無數次,可以說對世界歷史和文學瞭若指掌。奠定下他深厚的人文素養。

在他的隨筆「邊境.近境」中,他對自己的故鄉這樣描寫。

「我戶籍上雖然是京都生的,不過出生後很快就搬家到兵庫縣西宮市的夙川這地方,不久後又搬到蘆屋市去,十幾歲時大半在這裡度過。高中因為在神戶的郊區,因此去玩的當然是神戶的街上,或三宮一帶。就這樣形成一個典型的『阪神間少年』。當時的阪神間──當然或許現在還是這樣──是從少年期到青年期過起來相當舒服的地方。安靜又悠閒,有一點自由的氣氛,也受到山、海等大自然的恩惠,鄰近就有大都會。可以去聽音樂會、可以到舊書店去找便宜的平裝書、可以去泡爵士喫茶店、也可以到藝術電影院去看新潮電影。……」

因為這樣的成長背景,使他對外國始終充滿憧憬,特別喜愛西洋音樂、西洋文物。從高中就閱讀大量英語小說。並且對學習外國語超乎尋常的熱心。

從「終於悲哀的外國語」中,可以看出他學過的外國語有英語、德語、法語、希臘語、土耳其語、義大利語、西班牙語,總共達七種外國語。這不但是其他日本作家所少見的,也是其他亞洲作家所不及的。學習的動機,部分因為想到這些國家旅行或長住,部分因為在翻譯英語作品時,經常會遇到有必要了解其他語言的時候。

村上春樹除了自己創作小說之外,也翻譯美國作家的小說。

1984年夏天,他第一次造訪美國時,就到普林斯頓去,因為普林斯頓大學是他最喜愛的作家史考特.費滋傑羅的母校,他很想去看看。因此特地選了經過那裡的火車。先在校園逛逛,再到圖書館的展覽室請管理員讓他看看費滋傑羅的親筆原稿。

在那七年後,村上再度造訪普林斯頓,在這裡他住下來,寫了他最精心、最長的小說──「發條鳥年代記」。

那是1990年秋天,在他住過歐洲三年多,寫出「挪威的森林」之後,由於書意外的暢銷,紛紛擾擾,使他再度想逃離日本,希望能到像普林斯頓那樣安靜的地方不受打攪地悠閒寫小說。

「終於悲哀的外國語」寫的就是他到普林斯頓大學任駐校作家期間,生活中的種種感觸。普林斯頓是一個和平而遺世獨立的美好郊外城鎮。在這裡他對各種事情做了一些思考。包括美國與日本,東方與西方。

他年輕時候,剛開始寫小說的時候,還想盡量逃離日本,也就是盡量遠離日語式的束縛,認為那樣才能寫出比較接近自己的東西。然而到了美國之後,才開始認真地,正面去思考日本這個國家,和日語這種語言。漸漸發現日語對自己的意義,並開始喜歡用日語寫小說這個行為。(下)
