本书金句
清晨送餐员们出发时,孩子们总会等着看踏板与车轮闪过的光影。(原著直译)
他们像杂技演员般掠过其他自行车,灵巧过弯,躲开摩托车的黑烟。(原著直译)
生动文字致敬值得铭记的纯熟技艺,水墨水粉捕捉城市生活的鲜活节奏。(权威评论)
内容简介
When the deliverymen set off in the morning, the children wait for the flicker of pedal and wheel. It's the demae-- delivery men-- setting off to deliver steaming trays of noodles to hungry customers all over the city. They are acrobats: whizzing past other bicycles, soaring around curves, avoiding the black smoke of motorcycles. When the children see them, they want to be them. And so they practice with bowls of wobbling water stacked on trays. The day passes, and, finally, exhausted, the demae return home, to their families, and, yes, to steaming bowls of noodles.
