哈密瓜对我们而言,哈密瓜似乎带有某种反面的意义,是一种干旱的水果。在我们穿行于焦灼炎热的峡谷间或踏过沙尘平原上龟裂的土地时,若能看见哈密瓜,吃下它,那感觉,简直像是从绿洲的水井中汲出甘泉。它们是不大可能的奇迹,给我们慰藉,但事实上无法真正解我们的渴。哪怕就在剖开它们之前,哈密瓜闻起来都像一团甜甜的水。一种紧紧抱成一团又没有边界的味道。但若想要解渴,你需要某种更刺激的东西。柠檬是更好的选择。 Cantaloupe To us, the Cantaloupe seems to have some sort of opposite meaning, a dry fruit. As we walk through the scorching, hot gorges or land on the plains of dust, if we can see the cantaloupe and eat it, it feels as if it is drawn from the wells of the oasis. They are an unlikely miracle that comforts us, but in fact we can not really solve our thirst. Even before cutting them open, the melon smells like a sweet water. A tangled, borderless taste. But if you want to quench thirst, you need something more exciting. Lemon is the better choice.
