Chapter Ⅳ 接过墨客的衣钵摇旗呐喊（27）
这本或许只有三分之一的《安娜?卡列尼娜》怎么会流落到一家偏远的印度人的小店的柜台上的呢？事情是这样的。
Why is perhaps a third of Anna Karenina stuck here on this counter in a remote Indian store, It is like this.
事有凑巧。某一个高官，是联合国的，在他要出差穿越几大海几大洋的时候，他在书店买了这本小说。在飞机上，他在商务舱的座位上坐下来，就把这本书撕成三份儿。他一边撕，一边看他周围的乘客，他知道他会看到震惊的、好奇的表情，但也会有一些逗乐的表情。他坐了下来，系紧安全带，他大声说，说话的声音不管是谁都能听得见：“我长途旅行的时候，总是这么做。你可不想手里边捧着一本沉甸甸的大部头的书。”小说是平装本的，不过说实话，那是一本很长的书。此君很习惯于他讲话的时候，别人都听着。“旅行的时候，我总是这么做。”他吐露，“这年头儿出门儿旅行，可够苦的哟。”人们刚安顿下来，他就打开那一部分《安娜?卡列尼娜》，看了起来。当人们朝他这边看的时候，不管是不是出于好奇，他都对他们吐露秘密：“不，这真的是旅行的唯一方式。”他熟悉这部小说，喜欢这部小说，这一独创的阅读方式也的确给这部毕竟是名著的东西增添了情趣。

When people looked his way, curiously or not, he confided in them. “No, it is really the only way to travel.” He knew the novel, liked it, and this original mode of reading did add spice to what was after all a well known book.
他读完这部书的那一部分，就把空中小姐叫过来，把那一部分送回到他的秘书那里，他的秘书坐的是经济舱。每一次，这部伟大的俄国小说的一部分送过来，撕毁了，但还可以看，送回到飞机的后舱，都会引起极大的兴趣、指责，肯定还有好奇心。总之，这一聪明的阅读《安娜?卡列尼娜》的方式给人留下了深刻的印象，那里的每一个人可能都永远不会忘记。
When he reached the end of a section of the book, he called the airhostess, and sent it back to his secretary, trave
