这个小镇叫Salem。被译成“萨勒姆”。也有译作“歇冷”的。“歇冷”的名字很好听,有点像当年徐志摩将佛罗伦萨翻译成“翡冷翠”。翡的冷的翠。我猜那一定承载着徐志摩时代的忧伤。不过我宁可将这个小镇称作塞勒姆,因为这几个字和Salem的发音最为接近。于是就塞勒姆,这座马萨诸塞州北部的优雅的小镇。宁静而神秘的,有着古老英国乡村风情的。塞勒姆在波士顿以北不远的地方。同样在大西洋沿岸的一个港湾里。 This town is called Salem. Be translated as “Salem ”. Also translated as “rest cold ”. “Silence ” the name sounds good, a bit like when Xu Zhimo will Florence translated into “Florence ”. Fei’s cold green. I guess it must carry the sadness of the Xu Zhimo era. But I would rather call the town Salem because these words are the closest to Salem’s pronunciation. So Salem, an elegant town north of Mass. Quiet and mysterious, with ancient English countryside. Salem is not far north of Boston. Also in a harbor on the Atlantic coast.
