味旅：帶著秘密和回憶回家——終點站

"The adventure is over. Everything gets over, and nothing is ever enough. Except for the part you carry with you. It’s the same as going on a vacation. Some people spend all their time on vacation taking pictures so that when they get home they can show their friends evidence that they had a good time. They don’t pause to let the vacation enter inside of them and take that home."

——From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, Chapter 9, pp. 139-140

「冒險已經結束了，一切都會結束，沒有一樣可以讓人心滿意足的。除了回憶之外。這好比度假，有人整個假期都在照相，以便回家之後，向朋友展示他們玩得多麼愉快。他們不曾停下來，讓假期進駐心房，成為美好的回憶。」

冒險結束了。

帶著香料去旅行，帶回滋味、音樂、回憶和幾段略顯囉唆的喃喃自語。我還是有點在意美國炒飯的發明起源、誰會是第一個把香蕉放上披薩的瑞典人、在不值得愛的城市裡，Sleater-Kinney如何在近三十年的搖滾冒險裡一次次找到新的風格和聲音。

梵谷會喜歡韓式拌飯嗎？他會不會堅決抵制鳳梨披薩？在束縛心的城市裡，滿核仁餐館的鮪魚三明治，是不是也賣三十五分呢？

"Simply because it is a secret. It will enable her to return to Greenwich differently."

Claudia looked at Jamie and nodded. Something I had just said made sense.

I continued, "Returning with a secret is what she really wants. Angel had a secret and that made her exciting, important. Claudia doesn’t want adventure. She likes baths and feeling comfortable too much for that kind of thing. Secrets are the kind of adventure she needs. Secrets are safe, and they do much to make you different. On the inside where it counts."

「因為那是個秘密，那會讓她回到格林威治的時候『不一樣』。

克萊蒂雅看看傑米，點點頭。她了解我的意思。

我接著說：「她真正想要的就是帶著一個秘密回家。天使雕像是一個秘密，這個秘密讓她很興奮，覺得很重要。克萊蒂雅要的不是野外冒險。她喜歡洗澡，喜歡舒服，所以不可能喜歡流浪。但是，秘密是一種她會喜歡的冒險。秘密是安全的，又可以讓你跟別人不一樣。它價值全是在心裡面的。」

帶著秘密返航。

就像Sibylle Baier在《The End》所唱，分別的時間到了，親愛的朋友（"It’s the end, friend of mine."）但讓我們暫時遺忘歌曲的悲傷，讓我再引用Sibylle Baier一次：

"Told you that life is short but love is old."

生活短暫，但愛恆常。

很榮幸能與你分享這段旅程，以下是這次旅程中所提到的音樂，希望你會喜歡：
