Paris, Je T'aime 的小惊喜:

法国人也爱读村上
王尔德生命中最后的幽默: My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go.

So chyi and I were discussing about European lit on our way back from Paris, Je T'aime.

琪:“茶花女因该很穷吧。。”

哲(觉得问题很复杂):“为什么这么说呢?”

琪(其实想得很简单):“茶花女不是卖茶花的吗?”

哲:“!!!!(晕倒)”

琪:“eh?不是吗??”

哲:“...”

琪:“shit.”

:茶花女(La dame aux camélias) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, fils. It is a story of a young man who has an affair with a courtesan, Marguerite. His father ends the affair, and Marguerite dies of tuberculosis. Apparently the much loved Moulin Rouge was adapted from this story.
