半个世纪对人生来说是漫长的。半个世纪后,又过了两年,如今,巴金来到了他年青时求学过的巴黎。他记忆中的“整日整夜悲鸣的圣母院的钟声”是否还在敲?他问今天的巴黎人。法国朋友回答说,没听见过。也有的不解其意,微笑着说:“谁知道呢?”或者不以为然,耸耸肩,“也许有时还敲吧。”他 Half a century is long for life. Half a century later, two years later, Pugin came to Paris, where he had studied youth. In his memory, “The Bell of Notre Dame all day and night” is still knocking? He asks Parisians today. French friends replied, never heard of it. Some also puzzled, smiled and said: “Who knows?” Or disgruntled, shrugged, “may sometimes knock it.”
