过半

昨天上午在计算机房呆着，忽然觉得头脑昏沉，四肢乏力，像中了五毒十三香，又像吃了美人蒙汗药。回到宿舍，只想睡觉。傍晚醒来还是无精打采的，跟电脑下了盘围棋，人类大败。呆在网上瞎转，最后转到了The Digital Dante Project。看但丁的神曲地狱篇两个译本的开头：

(Mandelbaum Tr.) When I had journeyed half of our life’s way, I found myself within a shadowed forest, for I had lost the path that does not stray. Ah, it is hard to speak of what it was, that savage forest, dense and difficult, which even in recall renews my fear:

(Longfellow Tr.) MIDWAY upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost. Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say What was this forest savage, rough, and stern, Which in the very thought renews the fear.

这是一种人过中年午过半的感觉，老的生命已经结束，要获新生需要克服恐惧，才能从地狱一步步踏上天庭。

论文杂七杂八加起来，字数也过半了。郭大侠说得对：“不就是个破论文吗，还没完了呢?!甲乙丙丁一条一条给他列出来，爱怎么地就怎么地吧。”

我需要尽快穿过这篇森林，躲过豹子和狮子，在维吉尔的带领下，开始后半生的旅程。
