“Northanger Abbey”写的是天真浪漫的少女，2007年版本女主角（Felicity Jones）和女配角（Carey Mulligan）都清新靓丽、明艳动人，当年略显稚嫩的表演就已经可圈可点，过去几年两人更先后获奥斯卡女主角提名，星光熠熠。（Carey Mulligan秀气酒窝实在太迷人，就算在"Northanger Abbey"里演反派，还是叫我忍不住喜欢她呢。）<img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/G3p5hD31.jpg">“Persuasion”是Austen最后一部小说，情节还是很老梗，不过比前期作品有深度：富家千金Anne Elliot抛弃了穷小子，谁知道放弃的是支潜力股，八年后涨停板，荣归故里；Anne却已是家境没落的明日黄花，百分百大龄剩女。身份地位互调的昔日恋人再度相遇，愤恨后悔嫉妒悲苦，齐齐涌入心头。故事以尴尬冷淡开端，接下来是相互猜忌怀疑，无尽的欲言又止、隐忍压抑，好在结尾总是温馨的大团圆。罗马浴池罗马浴池是巴斯最重要的人文景点，她简直就是巴斯的象征。门票不便宜，但包括了语音导览（有儿童版），还贴心为小朋友准备了游戏册，每到一处都有攻关问答，互动性超强，最后还有小奖品。我本来想一个浴池能逛多久啊，结果一圈晃下来，居然花了两个小时。真的蛮佩服英国人对于考古遗迹的用心展现，不仅仅是维护古迹一砖一瓦，更颇有创意地用投影复原当年的图景，毁坏的部分也会和现存的合并附上对照，有关浴池的引水渠道，建筑原理，古代神话，罗马钱币等等，也各有精心规划的专门介绍，馆藏相当丰富，解说也很生动详尽，要细看恐怕三个小时都不够。<div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/dk6hKvvv.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/KCNvcoW1.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/gVvHDfpv.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/MdcV68Q1.jpg"></div><div>英国版/罗马版的华清池。</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2016/01/26/N9436NeM.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/PNAm0SK1.jpg"></div><div>做功课好认真喔</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/m6izsLbw.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/So0MUCD1.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/oFG0mv5w.jpg"></div><div>楼下还有身着古装的罗马贵妇带着女仆带你穿越古罗马。贝贝颇好奇地问，“你们在做什么啊？”贵妇答，“在化妆啊，我这黄色眼影好不好看？”“好看！”贵妇得意地说，“这可是目前最流行的颜色呢。来，弟弟要不要试试看？”惊得弟弟立刻跳起来，仓惶逃窜。</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/UYodOnx2.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/rg6qffYw.jpg"></div><div>两千年前的罗马人就建成这样庞大的浴场和壮丽的神殿。浴场里除了主池，还有很多小浴室，桑拿，冷水池等等。罗马人真不愧是三温暖的元祖，把泡汤这点乐趣发展到极致，可以想象他们在这里逍遥享乐，吹牛神聊，该是一幅多么活色生香的画面！</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/XyNDH8r2.jpg"></div><div>这池子叫我想起1986年版的“Northanger Abbey”里的泡澡片段。淑女绅士们同处一池，穿戴整齐，每个人脖子上挂着一个盘子，上面放了熏香料等等。女生头上依旧戴着夸张的像灯罩般的帽子，在水深至胸口的温泉池中走来走去，像一只只大蘑菇在水雾中升腾飘浮，超级搞笑，大概也只有英国人这么会假掰。</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2016/01/26/jsLgxFGh.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/19b4BSj2.jpg"></div><div>Pump Room浴场直接连接到Pump Room。哇，这里就是“Northanger Abbey”里女孩子手挽手天天来聊天八卦的地方啊。当时的上流社会绅士淑女们每天一早来这里喝矿泉水，这里也就成了他们聚集流行信息的社交中心。</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/wrTh4KMx.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/3KAuwCd2.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2016/01/26/QKsu0x8M.jpg"></div><div>巴斯教堂</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/6jYUqn72.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/CCG8Sezx.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/9Uomj712.jpg"></div><div>教堂前的小广场是最热闹的地方，喧嚣繁忙。</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2016/01/26/m2aGsqAh.jpg"></div><div>The Jane Austen CentreAusten其实很不喜欢巴斯的浮华风气，她自己家境窘迫，还得勉强维持体面，又被富有亲戚看低，处境相当难堪。今日巴斯仍然大打她的名声作招牌炫耀，反正Austen也没法抗议。</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/buMMdRU3.jpg"></div><div>Royal Crescent这是一整溜呈新月形铺展的排楼，千窗排比，一气呵成，一定要站在楼前的草坪上才能领略她的开阔和气派。别致优雅的弧形造型，情韵流畅，气宇轩昂，真是亦秀亦豪的Georgian建筑完美代表。"Persuasion"里Anne Elliot就在这里终于挣脱内心桎梏，狂奔追逐真爱Captain Wentworth。跑得那么要命，真是替她着急啊，好在终于给她追到了！</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/HNtYFKmx.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/e5bc8BO3.jpg">Pulteney Bridge青山碧水，讓人心旷神怡的风景。<img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/LnSqzufx.jpg"></div><div>Prior ParkPrior Park离市中心并不远，大约十分钟车程，但这里显然不是旅游区，比起嘈杂的市区，这公园显得异常清幽静谧。最高处是一所私立学校。</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/gFzC2mH3.jpg"></div><div>进门后，穿过浓密的小径，来到一片山坡的顶端，俯瞰翠绿的山谷，谷底小巧精致的廊桥看起來那麼轻盈灵巧。</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/NXgQue9y.jpg"></div><div>举目远望，巴斯市区就在前方。巴斯教堂，Royal Crescent排屋，都清晰可指认。</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/jfY3V6B3.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/QyFgoY3y.jpg">小朋友欢呼着一头栽进这无尽的绿意。<img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/nQntQRu3.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2016/01/26/SkRUTh2M.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/prMUKBo4.jpg"></div><div>公园里的儿童游艺场就是几颗专门给小朋友爬的树，百分百原生态。</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/VJt7ctQy.jpg">桥梁的式样叫Palladian，造型优雅如古典殿堂，华美浪漫。<img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/s1akDmh4.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/YjRx6dKy.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/vBzLx6b4.jpg"></div><div>"你站在桥上看风景，?看风景的人在楼上看你"</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2016/01/26/pCy7math.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/xbXbsQ54.jpg"></div><div>这石桥如此精巧华丽，又似一艘画舫，和颐和园石舫是不是有异曲同工之妙？</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/4uEpTJwz.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/AMnBmAY4.jpg"></div><div>朴实得几乎寒酸的The Bridges of Madison County都拍了电影，眼前的绝代佳人却为何无人问津？要是重拍Persuasion，我一定要建议导演把Captain Wentworth求婚的一幕拉到这座桥来拍，而且最好是英国典型的雨雾迷蒙。想想看，湿漉漉的清凉天气，满眼的翠绿如洗，男女主角立在这样一座典雅绝伦的石桥上，当然要目光焦烁热切，哗，浪漫得令人心悸啊！Wentworth的求婚信可是公认情书典范。（这种情书被视为中年大妈饮鸠止渴的毒药，不过不脸红地自夸一句，我家大叔的情书写的比这还催泪呢。）</div><div><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/744POtqz.jpg"><img src="/upload/OutlinkImg/2015/12/10/DnL3fkS5.jpg"></div><div>"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, inF.
