Chapter 664 Norwegian Forest

“norwegian -wood, is there any problem?”

An Mi frowned and said loudly.

Zhang Chu quickly shook his head, "I think the title of this song sounds very artistic."

According to the translation tradition of Chinese people, the name of this song is "The Forest of Norway", which reminds Zhang Chu of a very famous novel.

While on Earth, he once went to listen to the Beatles' song because of this novel, but he didn't understand what the song really wanted to express!

So he simply discussed it with a die-hard fan An Mi, "I have actually heard this song, but I can't guess what's inside."

If described according to the content of the song, it is actually a sad story about a boy meeting his favorite girl on the street but eventually being dumped.

"Actually, everyone is quite controversial about the translation of this song name. Some say it is called Norwegian wood, and some say it is called Norwegian forest. After all, wood is wood, and woods is forest."

Zhang Chu laughed and said loudly: "I guess I have to ask the members of the Beatles who wrote this song. They should have an answer!"

An Mi spread her hands: "John Lennon is no longer alive. The lyrics he wrote often don't even know what they mean. His biggest preference is to write something inexplicable to let us fans guess."

It is said that this is about a relationship between John Lennon and the only time he was rejected by a girl.

The lyrics of this song are very interesting. The boy once went to her room with a girl. The two of them couldn't find a chair and sat on the carpet to drink and chat.

But when the boy wanted to sleep with the girl, he was rejected and finally climbed into the bathroom and slept. When he woke up the next morning, he was the only one left.

Many people think that norwegian-wood means that the girl's house is made of Norwegian wood. This is actually the boy who finds himself lost in the Norwegian forest. Whether he has soaked the girl himself or the girl who has soaked himself is very unsolvable.

When I woke up, the empty room was as deserted as the Norwegian forest.

"Actually, Mr. Yu Guangzhong is very dissatisfied with translating this song into "Norwegian Forest". I forgot what I said, let me see."

An Mi could see that Zhang Chu was very interested in this song, so she picked up her phone to look for Mr. Yu Guangzhong's evaluation.

[The Rubber Soul before "Shandong Swordsman", there is a famous song called "Norwegian Forest", which is confusing and has caused a lot of controversy. In fact, many people don't even understand the topic, and Lennon originally wrote it out without intention. The first three sentences are already ambiguous: "I have a girl, or should it be said/she has had me once." She took me into the room and asked if the room was good, and she also replied that it was "Norwegian wood". So it is wrong to translate "Norwegian Forest".]

In fact, if you talk about words, the words in this song are not complicated, but what does the combination of two words mean? Even Zhang Chu, who has advanced English proficiency skills, does not know.

I'm afraid only John Lennon in heaven knows what he wrote!

What he was thinking about now was Haruki Murakami's book "The Forest of Norway", a highly-watched work in the history of modern and modern literature.

There has never been any news about Haruki Murakami in this world, because this name is not available among the popular candidates for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Haruki Murakami's writing style is different from that of Japanese.com, which is a strong reflection on literature and even social changes. It can be called a clear stream and has the meaning of Western literature.

His works are widely known around the world and are also very popular in China!

His most famous work is "The Forest of Norway". The novel begins with the song of the same name, sung by the Beatles, the most famous rock band in Britain.

Looking at the whole text, this song can connect the basic characters' relationships, and also play a certain role in the sublimation of the novel's theme.

"The Forest of Norway" sold more than three million copies when it was published in the 1980s, and it caused unprecedented responses among young readers, and even the Haruki Murakami and the forest phenomenon in Norway have appeared!

In Japan, every thirty people own one copy of "The Forest of Norway", which is a huge influence.

Afterwards, the influence of this novel gradually expanded and exceeded national boundaries. Many Asian countries and even European and American countries introduced and translated and published the novel.

A writer who is still popular after thirty years and a work that has been popular for thirty years can definitely be said to have withstood the baptism of time!

Zhang Chu remembers that he regarded "The Forest of Norway" as a youth love novel, and recalled the day he met this novel in middle school.

It was in a corner of my own bookstore. The brightness outside the window was mottled under the ground. The mood and charm of the words in the novel were just in line with the heart that was ready to move when I was a teenager.

In addition to the content of the novel that is fascinating, the description of xing and love is even more fascinating for young people. Some versions have been deleted, while some versions have survived.

At that time, what Zhang Chu read was the uncut version. He would always pause and read it repeatedly in the exciting parts. At the same time, he also folded these pages and sold them to his classmates!

This will prevent the students from not knowing where to pause. It is obvious that the signs are circulated among the boys in the class. Anyway, the pages are folded the most corners, and the dirtiest part of the page is the most exciting.

Speaking of which, this is also one of Zhang Chu's xing enlightenment readings.

When I was young, I couldn't feel that kind of mood, but I was more pursuing the feeling of reading. A large number of similar plots in the novel are about young people trying to use the relationship between the two sexes to relieve loneliness, loneliness and depression.

The Norwegian forest has become a *** forest of spirit and flesh!

The description between the two genders is a topic that many literary works cannot avoid. Instead of hiding and hiding, it is better to face it directly.

Haruki Murakami's writing style is very concise and considerable, with almost no elements of ***, sensationality or morality. He describes these private things as very ordinary things.

This is true, xing. For individuals, love is also a necessity for human survival, just like eating and sleeping. This is a common thing. The more objective it is, the less fishy it is.

Sometimes it’s because of love for you, sometimes it’s because of loneliness, and sometimes it’s because of intimacy. These different scenes are described to express different things!

When I was young, I would blush and be at a loss because of these words. But when I grew up, I realized that these descriptions can help me understand the feelings of the women in the story in a more specific and direct way.

Why does this book have such incredible artistic charm?

Many people are paying attention to this issue, a lot of things, such as a love story that is bursting into tears, a lonely and sad atmosphere, a feeling of nothingness and despair, etc.

In fact, in Zhang Chu's opinion, he felt that tragedy was probably the biggest reason for the success of this novel!
