What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor

come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some
shared and sexless hunger.
They had stood that way for a long time in front of the fire, its burning tossing
ruddy chunks of light, the shadow of their bodies a single column against the
rock. The minutes ticked by from the round watch in Ennis's pocket, from the
sticks in the fire settling into coals. Stars bit through the wavy heat layers above
the fire. Ennis's breath came slow and quiet, he hummed, rocked a little in the
sparklight and Jack leaned against the steady heartbeat, the vibrations of the
humming like faint electricity and, standing, he fell into sleep that was no... (查看原文)

译者明显对美国西部历史比较缺乏背景知识。 Close range在辞典中确实有“近距离”之义，但此处是指封闭牧场。 美国历史曾经有所谓open range法案，允许任何人自由放牧和获取水源，但到19世纪后期出现圈地运动，许多人将公共牧场占为私有，于是发生了大量冲突。 Kevin Costner的...

Brokeback Mountain is far more than a gay western. I first read "Brokeback Mountain", the short story on which Ang Lee's new film is based, when I was wacthing judging a short story award in 1998. It's by Annie Proulx, but I didn't know that then. The names...

sparklight and Jack leaned against the steady heartbeat, the vibrations of the
humming like faint electricity and, standing, he fell into sleep that was not sleep
but something else drowsy and tranced until Ennis, dredging up a rusty but still
useable phrase from the childhood time before his mother died, said, "Time to
hit the hay, cowboy. I got a go. Come on, you're sleepin on your feet like a
horse," and gave Jack a shake, a push, and went off in the darkness. Jack heard
his spurs tremble as he mounted, the words "see you tomorrow," and the
horse's shuddering snort, grind of hoof on stone.
Later, that dozy embrace solidified in his memory as the single moment of
artless, charmed happiness in their separate and difficult lives. Nothing marred
it, even the knowledge that Ennis would not then embrace him face to face
because he did not want to see nor feel that it was Jack he held. And maybe, he
thought, they'd never got much farther than that. Let be, let be.引自第21页

The spoon handle was the kind that could be used as a tire iron. And he would wake sometimes in grief, sometimes with the old sense of joy and release; the pillow sometimes wet. sometimes the sheets.
There was some open space between what he knew and what he tried to belive, but nothing could be done about it, and if you can't fix it you've got to stand it.引自 ending

Within a mile Ennis felt like someone was pulling his guts out hand over hand a yard at a time. He stopped at the road and, in the whirling new snow, tried to puke but nothing came up. He felt about as bad as he ever had and it took a long time for the feeling to wear off.

"That summer," said Ennis."When we split up after we got paid out I had gut cramps so bad i pulled over and tried to puke, thought I ate somethin bad at that place in Dubois. took me about a year a figure out it was that I shouldn't a let you out a my sights. Too late when by a long, long while."

“You’re too much for me, Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch. I wish I knew how to quit you.” Like vast clouds of steam from thermal springs in winter the years of things unsaid and now unsayable—admissions, declarations, shames, guilts, fears—rose around them.

Ennis stood as if heart-shot, face grey and deep-lined, grimacing, eyes screwed shut, fists clenched, legs caving, hit the ground on his knees.
He pressed his face into the fabric and breathed in slowly through his mouth and nose, hoping for the faintest smoke and mountain sage and salty sweet stink of Jack but there was no real scent, only the memory of it, the imagined power of Brokeback Mountain of which nothing was left but what he held in his hands.

多年前，看电影时也曾被那句“I wish I knew how to quit you”感动。如今在书中读到，心里的台词居然是“呵呵，呸”。简直被自己感动。

看一半扔下了，过了几年又捡起来看完了。我怎么老干这种事儿？下次一定要一鼓作气看完一本书！Annie Proulx应该是当下美国写得最好的作家之一，我觉得。只是不明白，这么个看上去面相和善的老太太，为何口味这么重，专门写这些粗砺荒野疯狂的故事，笔调像铁一样冷？

看了原著再回忆起李安电影里的细节实在饶有趣味。Annie笔下的西部风光和李安电影的气质竟然十分吻合，十分壮丽辽阔又温婉细腻。听着电影原声看原著，读到结尾就忍不住掉眼泪。

断背山是一种出世的希望，这种希望在同性爱情之间是断背山，不用承受世人的嘲笑，两个牛仔生活在一起落入世俗，就成了被打死的尸体。
