Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!



My teaser: 
"Don't tell me any more. You should have your dream, as the old woman told you to. I understand how you feel, but if you put those feeling into words they will turn into lies." -p.78《after the quake》 by Haruki Murakami

上星期六RSS訂閱收到村上春樹迷發起的閱讀活動。身處世界各地的村上春樹迷除了默默關心日本和真摯祈求外,也用閱讀的方式靜靜地消化這一刻。神戶大地震對產生人們的影響,事件相隔五年後,村上春樹以「地震」為主題寫成《神的孩子都在跳舞》六個短篇故事。這是我閱讀第一本英文版的村上春樹,雖然只閱讀了前兩篇,不是很習慣從賴明珠轉成Jay Rubin,或許看完這六個短篇故事後,腦子裡慢慢會產生中-英對照的村上春樹。

地震後,村上春樹的新聞稿

Haruki Murakami
Dear All, Since the big earthquakes hit Japan in the afternoon of Friday, 11th March 2011, we have received so many heartfelt messages from all over the world and truly appreciate your sympathies and encouraging words. I would like to reply to each of you separately, but please allow me to send this message to you all on my return to the office after the anxious weekend. Luckily, Haruki Murakami and his family were away from Japan when the earthquakes struck and are still in a safe place. Also, all his staff members in Japan are okay and have got no direct damages. As you should know from media reports, the earthquakes and tsunamis have caused serious damages in northeastern Japan. So far, Tokyo is safe, though we are still frightened by aftershocks and possible induced quakes. I really hope that as many lives as possible are saved and believe your prayers reach suffering people in this country. With many thanks and best wishes, Assistant to Haruki Murakami (3/14/11).
