4月16日：Charlie Chaplin 卓別林；川端康成自殺

川端康成（1899年6月11日－1972年4月16日)
Yasunari Kawabata was a Japanese novelist and short story writer whose spare, lyrical, subtly-shaded prose works won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968, the first Japanese author to receive the award.Wikipedia

“Time flows in the same way for all human beings; every human being flows through time in a different way.” 
― Yasunari Kawabata

“Does pain go away and leave no trace, then?’
‘You sometimes even feel sentimental for it.” 
― Yasunari Kawabata, Thousand Cranes

“A child walked by, rolling a metal hoop that made a sound of autumn.” 
― Yasunari Kawabata, Palm-of-the-Hand Stories


“Was this the bright vastness the poet Bashō saw when he wrote of the Milky Way arched over a stormy sea?” 
― Yasunari Kawabata, Snow Country, p.165

旅途中的芭蕉(松尾芭蕉......)在大海中所見的，大概就是這樣鮮明，這樣龐大的天河吧。......天河深不可測的深奧，把他的視線吸引進去了。--

Eugene Chaplin speaks to the BBC about his father

My Dad, Charlie Chaplin, Witness - BBC World Service
In April 1972, the silent movie star returns to the US after 20 years in exile.

My Dad, Charlie Chaplin

Chaplin made more than 80 films during his time living in America, becoming the leading icon in the era of Hollywood’s silent movies. But he left the US under a cloud in 1952, accused of communist sympathies and mired in scandal about his personal life. It was not until 20 years later, in April 1972, that Chaplin reluctantly returned to America to receive a special award at the Oscars.

《卓別林自傳》鍾玉澄譯，台北：志文，1982

這本書，待在我書架數十年，近日才翻讀。知道卓別林寫過4本書。他的檔案錄影量驚人。
近日有三段緣份：譯者鍾玉澄老師跟我說，當初看了【原序】記作者母子相依生活，很感動，決定翻譯。 (我被第一段的英國19世紀末的倫敦史地迷住。)
曹永洋老師說，書的結尾處，卓別林自述晚年生活幸福部分，選入某本書之中。他又說，此書唯一刪節的圖文，是卓別林在中共建國時受邀，登天安門之部分。

 Comedy calls for rhythm, and yet there is nothing of rhythm in life itself.喜劇需要韻律，可是人生本身並沒有這。

The White House has declared a state of emergency after a cyber attack forced the shutdown of a vital U.S. pipeline.

  F.B.I. Identifies Group Behind Pipeline Hack The attack by DarkSide, a relatively new criminal group believed to have roots in Eastern Europe, exposed the vulnerability of key U.S. infrastructure. This is how the Colonial Pipeline became a vital artery for fuel. The White House has declared a state of emergency after a cyber attack forced the shutdown of a vital U.S. pipeline.  Experts said that  gasoline prices are unlikely to be affected  if the pipeline is back to normal in the next few days. But the incident — the worst cyberattack to date on critical U.S. infrastructure — should serve as a wakeup call to companies about the vulnerabilities they face,  says The Associated Press .  【網絡安全】美國最大汽油管道被黑客攻擊 美國最大汽油和柴油管道系統的Colonial Pipeline在受到網絡攻擊後將其系統下線，令美國東部沿海主要城市加油站的成品油供應面臨威脅。Colonial Pipeline已聘請協力廠商網絡安全公司來調查並聯繫執法部門和其他聯邦機構。黑客對關鍵基礎設施的威脅一直在增長，促使白宮制訂計劃來提高公用事業及其供應商的安全性。
