Li's Voyage#my South America trip, Valparaiso, Chile我的旅行记之南美嬉皮小城

Have you ever read the poem from poet Pablo Neruda. He is a Chilenian poet. Today I will take all my steemit friends to Neruda's hometown —— Valparaiso.

这是一首来自聂鲁达的诗，不知道大家有没有读过，今天我就带大家走进聂鲁达的故乡Valparaiso。

I like for you to be still， and you seem far away.
我喜欢你是寂静的，好像你已远去。

It sounds as though you were lamenting, a butterfly cooinglike a dove.
你听起来像在悲叹，一只如同鸽悲鸣的蝴蝶。

And you hear me from far away and you voice does not touch you:
你从远处听见我，我的声音无法企及你：

Let me come to be still in your silence.
让我在你的沉默中安静无声。

And let me talk to you with your silence
并且让我借你沉默与你说话，

that is brightas a lamp,simple as a ring.
你的沉默明亮如灯，简单如指环。

You are like the night, with it's stillness and constellations.
你就像黑夜，拥有寂静与群星。

Your silence is that of a star, as remore and candid.
你沉默就是星星的沉默，遥远而明亮。

It was winter when I went to the southern hemisphere, the coldest season in South America. The day was very short, even at 8:00 o'clock was still dark. In the early morning, in the capital city of Chile, the mood was bleak. We took the early bus and went to Valparaiso.

我去的时候正是南半球的冬季，南美最冷的季节，白昼很短，早上8点天也没有全亮，整个城市都清冷萧瑟，尽管这样我们为了能在valparaiso多呆上一些时间还是赶了早班的大巴。

This is the locals food from Chile, a bit similar with dumplings, there are many different meat inside, and always with cheese.

智利的特色早餐，酥饼里面有不同种类的陷，我们吃的是虾肉和鸡肉蔬菜的，还有芝士的牛肉的。我个人最爱虾肉陷，里面真的都是虾肉。

The multicolored houses are strewn across hills, graffiti is everywhere, and most graffiti is as full of magic as South American literature. In the early morning, the scenery out of the window of my room was very beautiful, the sky was bright, and the whole city was waking up slowly.

五彩斑斓的房子坐落在山丘上错落有致，涂鸦到处可见，而大部分涂鸦画的都和南美文学一样充满了魔幻主义。
清晨的时候，在房间里看到的风景非场美丽，天空呈绯色，看整个城市慢慢苏醒。

Valparaiso is a hippies town, there are many backpackers.
We live in a guesthouse and the owner is a French guy. A year ago he was traveling to Valparaiso and met his girlfriend, and then he decided to settle down in this small town and opened a guesthouse.
There were not many guests in the guesthouse, but every day, the friends of the owner came and sat for whole day to play cards and drink together. They were enjoying the sun and enjoying the breeze came from the south Pacific.
They don't need other thing else of life, they don't have to try find the meaning and purpose in life. They enjoyed present moment.

即使现在是淡季依旧有很多欧美的年轻背包客和嬉皮士，我们住的guesthouse老板是一个法国小伙子，一年前他来valparaiso旅行，认识了现在的智利女友，然后就留了下来开了这家guesthouse，这家guesthouse客人不多，但是每天都有老板的朋友过来坐上一天大家一起打牌喝酒，晒太阳，吹着来自南太平洋的风。生活哪还需要什么意义，有意思就够了。
