我是通过《吉诃德神父》（Monsignor Quixote）这部小说第一次接触格林的。当时别人向我安利这本书的原话是：“堂吉诃德是个天主教神父，而桑丘·潘沙是个共产党人。”作为一个对天主教和马克思主义极其着迷的 14 岁少年，光这一句话就彻底把我勾住了。最让我感兴趣的是……
I first came to Greene via his novel, Monsignor Quixote. It was billed to me as, “Don Quixote is a Catholic priest and Sancho Panza is a communist.” As a 14-year-old fascinated by Catholicism and Marxism, that was enough to hook me. What catches my interest…
很多人少年时期都有一本改变了自己人生观的书。对某些人来说是《1984》。对我而言，则是格林的《权力与荣耀》。它，以及它所引发的那些思考，至今仍伴随着我。《吉诃德神父》我也很推荐。读过的其他几本我都忘了，唯独《布赖顿棒糖》我不怎么喜欢。就像同楼一位评论者说的，如果你有任何宗教背景，或者见证过那种……
Many people have a book they read in their teens that changed their outlook. For some it's 1984. For me it was Greene's "The Power and the Glory". It, and the questions it raised, are still with me. Monsignor Quixote I can also recommend. The others I read I have forgotten, except for Brighton Rock which I didn't like. As a sibling commenter has said, if you have any form of religious background or have seen that…
……而且在随后的几年里反复重读了好多次。高中有一天，一个已经毕业的朋友回学校看望管弦乐队老师，手里拿着一本正在读的书，就是格雷厄姆·格林的《吉诃德神父》。他形容这书是：“堂吉诃德是个天主教神父，桑丘·潘沙则是托博索的前共产党员市长。”第二天我就去了图书馆，借出了他们馆藏的那本……
…and returned to the book many times over the years that followed. One day in high school, a friend who had graduated came by to visit the band teacher and had a book in his hand that he was reading, Monsignor Quixote by Graham Greene. He described it as “Don Quixote is a Catholic priest and Sancho Panza is the communist ex-mayor of El Toboso.” I went to the library the next day and checked out their copy of the book…
……《恋情的终结》：又一部非常天主教色彩的小说，但又截然不同。《沉静的美国人》：好到难以言表。越南、间谍，以及对所谓“体面人”的沉痛控诉。《吉诃德神父》：法西斯主义之后的生活，以及一个可能骨子里真是个圣人的荒诞神父。
…The End of the Affair: Another very catholic novel, but also very different. The Quiet American: Hard to express exactly how good this one is. Vietnam, spies, and a huge indictment of "decent people". Monsignor Quixote: Life after fascism, and a ridiculous priest who may, in fact, be a saint.
我收藏的最古老的一本书可以追溯到 18 世纪。但它不是我最值钱的书（具体哪本最值钱我也不确定，但我猜可能是格雷厄姆·格林《吉诃德神父》的签名限量版）。我把贵重的书专门放在一个架子上，免得我死了以后，孩子们稀里糊涂把它们当废纸送去图书馆义卖。
My oldest book dates to the 18th century. It’s not my most valuable book (I’m not sure which is, but my guess would be the signed limited edition of Graham Greene’s Monsignor Quixote would be it). I keep the valuable books on a special shelf so that after I die, my kids will know that those books should probably not be sent to the library book sale.
我以前上过格林念过的那所老学校（他父亲曾是那里的校长）。很有意思的是，学校里的很多东西都频繁出现在他的小说里——从《吉诃德神父》里的校训，到《船长与敌人》里从学校走出来的那条路。一个小八卦：他有一次回访学校，我记得看到他在一个转角停下，转过身直勾勾地盯着我。直到事后回想起来……
I went to Greene's old school (where his father had been headmaster). It's interesting how much stuff from the school pops up in his novels - from the school motto in "Monsignor Quixote" to the route walked from the school in "The Captain and the Enemy". Minor anecdote: He visited the school once, and I remember seeing him stop at a corner and turn to look directly at me. Only in retrospect…
