《霍乱时期的爱情》段摘要

After the death of the photographer, Dr. Urbino was on his way home, feeling the "solitary joy of youth" in a city that was still on the edge of its time. "Here, flowers rust, salt rots, from people to environment to the people in the city, women avoid the sun as if avoiding a shameful disease." "Their love was slow and difficult, often disturbed by ominous omens, and life was endless for them. In the evening, the streets were crowded with traffic. A large group of bloodthirsty mosquitoes flew up from the mud, carrying a soft, warm and poignant human scent, disturbing the depths of the soul and giving up the firm belief in death." The blending of these scenes created a city that was so depressing. In every way, doctors were conservative, and people tended to the right. "No one has ever thought that a couple living in such a solid and secure house would have any reason to be unhappy." The trivialities in the family were always not enough to be told to outsiders. It was only the inch by inch heart that could withstand them one by one. Shallow joy, small wisdom, deep pain: "If they learned anything in their shared life, it was that wisdom often comes to us in a place where it is of no use." Doctors married life had long been as flat as water, "they deliberately made some noise in the morning, so that the other person would be angry. This is one of the many dangerous and joyful aspects of home love." The emotions of a long marriage often collapse with a single blow, making people feel hopeless: "Both of them were shocked because their painful proof confirmed that everything they had done in so many years of marital struggle had only cultivated hatred." Even small things can become deep disasters, such as flushing toilets, which makes the doctor hatefully think that "flushing toilets must have been invented by someone who doesnt understand men at all." Aging is invading him: "Before the age of 50, he had never felt the size, weight and condition of his internal organs, but after the age of 50, slowly, he lay there with his eyes closed every afternoon nap, starting to feel one after another that they exist in his body, and even feeling the shape of his sleepless heart, his mysterious liver and sealed pancreas." This is probably the authors personal experience, but it has to be thought of by the doctor because he is a doctor and is more sensitive to the body. The second reason is that he is going to die soon. Who knew that he had just received the news of the photographers death in the morning, and he fell to his death after attending the party in the afternoon. It was because of Dr. Urbinos death that Fermina finally had the courage to find Florentino. He was in his 70s when he appeared. "His innate elegance and melancholy demeanor quickly won him some favor, but he was often seen as two suspicious qualities on an obstinate bachelor." Yes, he is still single, but only because he has not married. He hides himself in front of outsiders, but in his heart, "as a soul in solitude, he firmly believes that he loves more deeply than anyone else in the world." In the concluding stage of this chapter, Fermina revealed her heart to Florentino after fifty years of reunion. "I have waited for this opportunity for more than half a century just to reaffirm to you my eternal loyalty and unchanging love." Of course, Florentino refused her, but after returning home, she had a inexplicable thought that scared herself: "When a person who is loved dies, he should take all his things with him." This is not only a way to reduce sorrow, but also an indication that Ferminas words have stirred up ripples in her heart.
