看完《實驗室的詩人》中譯本了（翻譯的很棒！）

因為活得夠長壽，以致李維史陀看見了自己最擔心的惡夢成為事實：
「這不是我認識、喜歡和還能想像的世界」

Lévi-Strauss died of heart failure two weeks later, just shy of his 101st birthday. When his death was announced on 3 November 2009, the tributes poured in once more, with wall-to-wall coverage on television, and Le Monde alone carrying half a dozen pages and three obituaries. Among the thousands of homages, President Sarkozy hit a false note, writing in an offi cial communiqué that Lévi-Strauss had been a ‘tireless humanist’.

A public funeral for such a revered intellectual figure would have attracted a grand procession through the streets of Paris, ending in a burial thronged by the great and good – politicians, intellectuals, students, as well as thousands of ordinary members of the public paying their respects to the last giant of mid-twentieth-century thought. But this was not Lévi-Strauss’s style. By the time the news of his death broke, he had already been buried in a small cemetery near his château in Lignerolles. The ceremony was attended by close family – his wife Monique, his two sons Laurent and Matthieu and two grandsons, along with the mayor of the town, Denis Cornibert. His last wishes were to be lowered into the grave in total silence. ‘That wasn’t easy,’ recalled Cornibert. A simple gold plaque with ‘Claude Lévi-Strauss – 1908–2009’ sits on the gravel burial mound. A stone’s throw away from this bare grave are the forests where, in summers gone by, Lévi-Strauss would go out walking in the afternoons, hunting for wild mushrooms, bundling them into his scarf as he went.

最後的《後記》談到李維史陀過世的前一刻以及下葬的墓地。
讀完後，豬頭整個人都虛脫了，彷彿親眼目睹一位老人的死去，
整個20世紀的人類學史直到李維史陀的過世正式宣告結束。
天呀！我都快哭出來了。


備註：兩年前過世的消息（看樣子咱們部落格真的見證許多歷史片刻呀！）
