翻聽Bob Dylan的《Desolation Row》湧起一股莫名的觸動,感覺就像走過了一條漫長的荒涼之路。頭兩句不知怎的讓我想到最近的香港:
They’re selling postcards of the hanging
They’re painting the passports brown
他們販售吊刑的名信片
他們把護照髹成啡色
然後我便分外留神聽接下來發生甚麼事:
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They’ve got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they’re restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row
美髮店擠滿了水手
馬戲團就在城後
然後來了一個特首
他們將他發入吽竇
一隻手綁住走鋼線高手
另一隻插在褲袋裡頭
還有防暴警察全在煩躁無休
他們需要某個地方抖抖
像這位小姐和我遍夜尋求
由荒涼之路口
然後找到哪裡去?似乎是酒館。
Cinderella, she seems so easy
“It takes one to know one,” she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he’s moaning
“You Belong to Me I Believe”
And someone says, “You’re in the wrong place my friend
You better leave”
And the only sound that’s left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row
灰姑娘,她似乎幾開放
「講嗰個就係嗰個。」佢笑咗
然後將雙手插進後袋
貝蒂戴維斯的風格
然後來了個羅密歐,佢喺度呻吟
「你係屬於我㗎我相信!」
然後有人話:「你來錯地方喇朋友,
你最好離開。」
然後唯一留低的聲音
在救護車走了之後
是灰姑娘的掃地聲
在荒涼之道上
我很喜歡這一種講故事的歌,因為這才叫做「吟遊」。當現在的歌失去了這種吟遊性,就空餘下一堆感質。我們已經不再用灰姑娘來形容負責打掃地方的女人,我喜歡這樣的形容,但設定跟原著是反轉的:掃完地,一到十二點,她就準時穿回自己的玻璃鞋。
然後已經好夜好夜了:
Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortune-telling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he’s dressing
He’s getting ready for the show
He’s going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row
現在月亮就快都看不見
繁星也開始隱淡
占卜未來的女人
甚已將她的所有東西收起
所有除了該隱和亞伯
以及聖母院的鐘樓佗俠
人人都在做愛
或其餘的在等雨
然後有個好撒馬利亞人,他在換裝
他已經準備好出騷
今晚他將會前往嘉年華
在荒涼之道上
突然輪到《哈姆雷特》的女主角奧菲利亞登場:
Now Ophelia, she’s ’neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her profession’s her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noah’s great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
Into Desolation Row
現在奧菲利亞,她就倚在窗旁
我真為她擔心
在她廿二歲生日時
她已經是一個老女僕
對她,死亡是幾浪漫
她穿了一件鐵的背心
信仰就是她的自白
白活就是她的罪名
雖然她已定睛望着上方
那道挪亞的偉大彩虹
但她仍是費上時間來偷望
那條荒涼之路
而你有沒有聽過愛恩斯坦拉小提琴?這一個卻不是那一個,因為他太潦倒了:
Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row
愛恩斯坦扮成羅賓漢
帶着他車尾廂的回憶
在一小時前才經過這裡
和他的朋友、來自善妒寺的僧侶
他看起來不染得可怕
尤其在他討煙的時候
接着他走去嗅着水喉
叨唸着字母
現在你不會想望到他
但好耐之前他都風光過
奏着電子提琴
在那荒涼之路
從荒涼到荒淫?
Dr. Filth, he keeps his world
Inside of a leather cup
But all his sexless patients
They’re trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser
She’s in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
“Have Mercy on His Soul”
They all play on pennywhistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
From Desolation Row
猥褻醫生,他將他的世界
藏在一隻皮杯裡
但他所有無性的病人
他們正嘗試吹起它
現在他的護士,某個本地的失敗者
她是山埃孔的話事人
而她亦藏了一張卡片寫着
「願主垂憐他的靈魂」
他們全都玩着尖哨
你可以聽到他們在吹
如果你把頭傾得夠遠
從荒涼之道
卡薩諾瓦是意大利聞名的詩人情聖,這一段特別令我着迷:
Across the street they’ve nailed the curtains
They’re getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
A perfect image of a priest
They’re spoonfeeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they’ll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words
And the Phantom’s shouting to skinny girls
“Get Outa Here If You Don’t Know
Casanova is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row”
對面街他們已釘上帷幕
他們已準備好一場盛宴
《歌聲魅影》
牧師的完美形象
他們用湯匙向卡薩諾瓦灌藥
讓他稍為有安全感
然後他們用自信來殺掉他
之前用文字毒害他
然後魅影向瘦削的女孩們喊道:
「如果你不知道就請你們離開
卡薩諾瓦已經受罪因他
前往荒涼之道。」
接下來這一段,我懷疑是在描寫納粹的集中營:
Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row
現在午夜所有特工
和超人類團隊
出來圍住了所有人
因為知道了不該知道的
然後把他們帶到工廠
那裡有心臟病機器
綁在他們的肩膊上
然之後那煤油
從城堡裡帶下來
有人會以防萬一
檢查一下看看是否無人能逃
逃往荒涼之路
Bob Dylan這首歌可能戲仿了英國詩人ES艾略特的長詩《荒原》,這首詩的一大特色是沒有人能看懂一個字——每個字都懂,湊起來卻不成意思。之前跟大家介紹過的艾茲拉龐德,勉強把《荒原》翻改成可讀的版本,加了很多註腳,務求令世人讀得通它的真意。這個情節,Bob Dylan也收錄在《Desolation Row》第九節裡面:
Praise be to Nero’s Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody’s shouting
“Which Side Are You On?”
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
Fighting in the captain’s tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row
讚美歸於尼祿的海王星
鐵達尼啟程於黎明
而每個人都發出喊聲
「你到底站哪一邊?」
而艾茲拉龐和ES艾略
在船長的塔上決鬥
卡利索普歌手取笑他們
漁民手執鮮花
在大海的窗戶之間
那裡有可愛的美人魚流過
此際沒有人想太多
關於那荒涼之路
是的,Bob Dylan是在模仿ES艾略特式的混亂,而在最後一節揭曉了混亂的原因:
Yes, I received your letter yesterday
(About the time the doorknob broke)
When you asked how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they’re quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can’t read too good
Don’t send me no more letters, no
Not unless you mail them
From Desolation Row
係呀,我尋日收到你嘅信
(大概在門鎖壞了的時候)
你問我最近過成怎樣
是一個需要笑的笑話嗎?
全部這些你所提及的人
係呀,我知道佢哋,佢哋都幾無趣
我需要重新構建他們的臉容
給他們全都搞混了名字
此際我已經不太擅於閱讀
不要再寄更多的信給我了,不要
除非它們是你寄自
於荒涼之路
聽過這麼多段,就像走完了一段漫長的荒涼的路,有一種想哭的感覺。Bob Dylan的音樂經常都給予的這種荒涼感,只有經歷很多的人才會有這種感覺,寫得出這種詞,流下了這滴淚。

【同學投稿】《深夜cert case的二三事》
午夜時分,電話響起。
「你好,medical houseman。」
「要麻煩你certify個COVID positive case,屋企人係隔離啊。」
到隔離病房後,我在護士站裡粗略看了一下病人的病歷。
「唔係話屋企人黎左咩?我頭先係出面見唔到有人喔。」
「佢老婆同個仔都positive,而家係同一個cubicle裡面啊。」
我穿起保護裝束,走進隔離病房。
「你好,我係今晚當值醫生,而家要同伯伯做啲檢查。」
「醫生係咪黎certify我爸爸啊?」
「要做埋檢查先話得到你知,或者先生可以同媽媽睇住電視先,我做完檢查仔同你傾好冇?」
於是我硬着頭皮,第一次在家屬的注目下為病人進行檢查。(註:一般來說,certify case前,醫生會請家屬到病房外等候,待完成檢查後再與家屬交待。)
「伯伯,而家同你做少少檢查啦。」
進行檢查的同時,病人的兒子低聲安慰坐在輪椅上的媽媽。
「阿媽你要堅強啲啊,阿爸走左我得番你架咋,要堅強啲啊知唔知到啊⋯⋯」
完成檢查後,我移步到家人跟前。
「啱啱完成檢查,證實做伯伯已經走左,死亡時間係⋯⋯。其實伯伯本身都年紀大,加上原本肺功能差,之前主診醫生都有同你地傾過,如果插喉嘅話,伯伯會辛苦之餘,對佢都未必有幫助。你地自己屋企人傾過之後,都想伯伯可以舒服啲。我諗伯伯有兩位陪住,都算走得安詳。之後伯伯遺體嘅安排會有護士同你地交代,希望先生同太太節哀順變。」
「唔該醫生。多謝你啊。」
我想該說謝謝的是我。謝謝這位兒子兼病人在悲痛之時,仍能理解父親去世並非醫護不努力,仍能堅強地安撫和鼓勵一同患病的媽媽,仍保持對醫護的尊重和支持。
大家常云要支持醫護,現實卻是:當血庫告急社會賢達卻無動於衷(可詳閱前六)、當疫情擴散防疫政策卻朝令夕改、當醫護壓力爆煲有關當局卻宣佈凍薪⋯⋯
到頭來還是不及病人的一句「多謝醫生」來得合時。是該哭還是該笑呢?
Around midnight, my dect phone rang.
“Hello, medical houseman.”
“Hi, there’s a COVID positive case needs you to certify him. His family are here as well.”
When I arrived at the isolation ward, I took a brief look through his medical history at the nursing station.
“Didn’t you say his family were here? I didn’t anyone out there in the lobby.”
“Oh. Both his wife and his son are positive for COVID as well. So they’re now staying in the same cubicle.”
I put on my full PPE and went into the cubicle. For the first time ever, I certified a patient in front of his family. (Usually in our daily practice, we ask family members to wait at the corridor while the doctor is doing the physical examination for the patient.)
“Good evening, Sir. I’m tonight’s on call doctor. I’ll examine your father in a minute. Meanwhile, may I ask for your help to accompany your mother while I’m doing the examinations.”
The son was gently comforting his wheelchair-bound mother while I was certifying the father.
“Mom, please stay strong. Now that dad’s passed away, I’ve only got you with me, so please hold on.”
It was hard not to tear up listening to his soft but desperate words. And after performing all the necessary examinations, I approached the son and the wife.
“I’m sorry to notify you that Mr X was certified at ...... His premorbid conditions weren’t that great, and now COVID has taken its toll on him. Previously, the case doctor had discussed with you that intubation wasn’t our first option, in view of his advanced age and poor premorbid lung functions. And the rest of the family also agreed that comfort care was a better option. I believed that Mr X has had his last hours well spent with you and Mrs X on his sides. The nurse will help you with the upcoming arrangements. I’m really sorry for your loss and all that your family has gone through.”
The son replied in the most sincere tone, “Thank you doctor. Thank you for being here.”
In fact, I think it’s me who should say thank you to this gentleman. Thank you for believing in our efforts, despite we’ve lost our patient. Thank you for comforting his mother, despite he too had just lost his father. Thank you for being supportive, despite he too was a patient.
How ironic it is when government propaganda stressed so much on supporting medical staff, few supportive acts has been done. When our blood banks were in such great shortage that not even patients with a platelet count of 1 could be transfused, none of those in power cared to encourage blood donations. When the the third wave of COVID epidemic was taking away lives, the government policies were slow and confusing, not to mention effective. When medical staffs were on the verge of breakdown, the government just announced a pay freeze.
In the very end, nothing was more supportive than a sincere “thank you” from the already suffering patients. And I’m not sure if this is really something to be thankful for.

【自杀並非解脫】
SUICIDE WILL NEVER BE THE END
我手頭上處理過好些女客人因為老公外遇,而悲痛萬分想自殺,有些甚至自殺過幾次但都失敗。
她們都說,被相愛多年的老公背叛,人生已失去意義,不懂如何活下去,要一死了之。
我問,孩子怎麼辦?
她們說老公很愛孩子,一定會照顧的。
不要笨啦,會愛孩子就不會偷吃了。
我還開玩笑說:「幸好你沒死,要不然我這個Zoom視訊不可以安排在白天了,得半夜十二點後Zoom到地府去找你,還得跟你算OT!」
我盡我能力在那有限的時間內,開導客人,指引她們一條明路。
我也是女人,怎麼會不懂被曾發誓會與我長相廝守的伴侶背叛的痛呢?
客人哭著跟我喊:自己的人生如此失敗,不懂自己還能給予孩子什麼。
你不要去死,就能夠教導你的女兒和兒子們,一個女人活下去該有的自信和膽識了。
我的影片當中,談愛情婚姻的流量是較低的,但有觀眾把這些影片分享給在痛苦中的親朋好友。也因為如此,我拍片從來不以流量為第一考量,而是到底能不能夠幫到人。
自殺並非解脫,改次我拍支影片,談談這類三角關係的因因果果。
還有,姐妹們,跳樓自殺的鬼,體無完膚,樣子真的真的很難看,我當真沒在騙你。
———————————
I have handled many cases of female clients whose husbands committed infidelity. My clients were in so much grief and pain that they either intended to or have attempted to commit suicide several times but failed.
They said the same thing. That having been betrayed by the man whom they deeply loved, their lives had lost all significance and they no longer know how to continue living.
I asked what would happen to their children?
They would replied that the husband loved the kids and would take care of them.
Don’t be stupid. If he had truly loved them, he would not have cheated.
I would also joke, “Lucky you didn’t die, otherwise my Zoom call cannot be scheduled in the day time. I will have to go to hell to find you for our Zoom call, and must be after midnight. Then I must charge you for overtime work!”
I tried my best to comfort and guide the client onto a clear path, in the limited time we have.
I am also a woman. How will I not understand the excruciating pain of being betrayed by the man who had taken the vows to be with me “till death do us part”?
The client cried and shouted, “My life is such a failure. What do I have to give to my children?”
As long as you don’t go and die, you will be teaching your daughters and sons the confidence and courage a woman can have.
Among my many videos, those on topics of love and marriage have lower views. Yet there are audience who share these videos with their family and friends who are experiencing such agony in their personal lives.
This is why I never decide on a topic based on viewership. I decide based on whether it can help people.
Suicide isn’t liberation. Next time I will do a video that talks about the karmic implications of such love triangles.
And by the way, sisters, ghosts who committed suicide by jumping down really really look ugly with their broken limbs and open wounds. I am not kidding you.

Lyrics:
I woke up late this morning
今晨略起晚
The tears had burnt my eyes
眼中的淚水灼傷了我的眼睛
My dreams are so distorted
夢境亦是扭曲不堪
They're lucid in my mind
卻又清晰無比
This used to be my safe spot waking up
這也曾是我安醒之地
Now I just want the day to stop
但如今我只希望時間就此停止
Before I lose control of my emotion
在我無法自制之前
I know, I promised, I would change, but
我知道 也承諾過 我會改變 但是
My patince isn't fake enough
我的耐心不配合演出
And I don't wanna do this on my own
不曾想就此自己獨過
It's the moments like this
就是這樣的小片段
I wish that you were here to told me
我渴望你在這裡 告訴我
It's the moment like this
就是這樣的小點滴
I wish that you could wake me up
我渴望你在這裡 喚醒我
Cause I'm not really me when I'm without you
只因沒有了你 我並非真實的我
I'm better off around you
守在你身邊 生活如此美好
It's the moments like this
就是這樣的時刻
I know that this is not enough
我才明瞭 這不足夠
Wish you were here
真心希望你在這裡
I wish you were here
我真切渴望你在這裡
Wish you were here
真心希望你在這裡
I wish you were here
我真切渴望你還在我身邊
Called you after midnight
午夜後打了電話給妳
So I could see what's mine
所以我才能知曉 你的哪一部分屬於我
Smoked till I could think right
借煙消愁 直到我能明辨是非
Wish you were by my side
真希望你伴我身旁
This used to be my safe spot
這原來也是我的安全區域
Stayin up
獨守片地
Now l just want the day to stop
但現在 我是多希望時間停止
Before I lose control of my emotions
在我情感失控之前
I know I promised I would change but
我清楚我曾立誓一定就此改變 但是
My patience isn't fake enough
我的耐心並不配合演出
And I don't wanna do this on my own
我也並不想就此一個人生活
It's the moments like this I wish that you were here to hold me
就是這樣的時刻 我希望你在這裡攬住我
It's the moments like this I wish that you could wake me up
就是這樣的時刻 我希望你在這裡喚醒我
Cause I'm not really me when I'm without you
只因缺失了你 我不可能是真正的自我
I'm better off around you
唯獨和你在一起 才是真正美好的生活
It's the moments like this I know that this is not enough
就是這樣的時刻 我知道自己並不滿足
Wish you were here
真希望你在這裡
I wish you were here
我真希望你還在這裡
Wish you were here
真切渴望你的陪伴
I wish you were here
我真的希望你還在我身邊
It's the moments like this I wish that you were here to hold me
就是這樣的時刻 我希望你在這裡攬住我
It's the moments like this I wish that you could wake me up
就是這樣的時刻 我希望你在這裡喚醒我
Cause I'm not really me when I'm without you
丟失了你 亦丟失自己
I'm better off around you
在你身邊 才有美好可言
It's the moments like this I know that this is not enough
就是這樣的時刻 我知道自己並不滿足
Wish you were here
真希望你在這裡
I wish you were here
我真希望你還在這裡
Wish you were here
真希望你從未遠去
I wish you were here
我希望你還在這裡
