City Lights Book Sellers: Make it Your Mecca
城市之光书店的点评
点评：My great grandfather, Fernando Barbero, worked as a stone mason and cement contractor in the SF Bay Area from 1911 to 1924 when he turned his efforts to farming and cattle ranching ob property he purchased in Wilton in the Sacramento Valley two hours from SF. His grandson, my Uncle and Godfather JL Gledhill was an electrical engineer who administrated traffic for SF via CalTrans. When I was 12 years old I spent a week with my Uncle at his apartment on 1610 Taylor Street #1. It's a very steep street, typical for North Beach, with awesome views of the city skyline. One morning after our oatmeal and bananas my craft Uncle said, May I blindfold you for a special adventure? I agreed. You may take my elbow, he said, and we descended the steep hill. Once we reached flat ground he removed the blindfold and said, Look up, this is your Mecca. I did. City Lights Book Sellers. Home of Ginsberg's Howl, Jack Kerouac's On the Road, Ferlinghetti's SF beat poetry, those transplanted New Yorkers created a book store of several stories that will never close despite online books and A-Zon. And John was right about me. I became a Literature and Writing teacher and research professor. Thank you more than these words can say, Unc, for the inspiration that you gave us every day. I put his ashes in the Consumnes River that borders Barbero Ranch where Mom still lives, and watched them float downstream to the San Francisco Bay. City Lights Book Sellers. Make it your Mecca
翻译：我的曾祖父费尔南多·巴贝罗（Fernando Barbero）从1911年到1924年在旧金山湾区做石匠和水泥承包商，之后他转行务农和养牛，在距离旧金山两小时车程的萨克拉门托山谷威尔顿（Wilton）购买了一块地。他的孙子，我的叔叔兼教父JL·格莱德希尔（J.L. Gledhill）是一名电气工程师，通过加州交通局（CalTrans）负责旧金山的交通管理。我12岁那年，在叔叔位于泰勒街1610号1号的公寓里住了一个星期。那是一条非常陡峭的街道，典型的北滩风格，可以欣赏到令人惊叹的城市天际线景色。一天早上，我们吃完燕麦粥和香蕉后，我那心灵手巧的叔叔说：“我可以蒙住你的眼睛，带你去体验一次特别的冒险吗？”我同意了。他说：“你可以抓住我的胳膊肘。”然后我们一起下了陡坡。到了平地上，他摘下我的眼罩，说：“抬头看，这就是你的圣地。”我抬头一看，原来是城市之光书店（City Lights Book Sellers）。这里是金斯伯格《嚎叫》、杰克·凯鲁亚克《在路上》、费林盖蒂旧金山垮掉派诗歌的诞生地。那些从纽约搬到旧金山的人们，创造了一家承载着无数故事的书店，即使面对网络书籍和亚马逊的冲击，它也永远不会关门。约翰对我的评价是对的。我成为了一名文学与写作教师和研究教授。叔叔，感谢您每天给予我们的灵感，千言万语也无法表达我的感激之情。我把他的骨灰撒入了毗邻巴贝罗牧场的科苏姆内斯河，妈妈至今仍住在那里。我看着骨灰顺流而下，最终汇入旧金山湾。城市之光书店。让它成为你的圣地吧。
