蜜爾卡和他老公毛羅，是老公中學時代的好友。這對夫妻，是我剛到義大利時初認識的幾個朋友之一，加上他們家裡特殊的故事，第一次見面就讓我留下深刻的印象。自我搬到義大利以後，偶爾也會去找他們聚一聚，這才知道蜜爾卡原來是在義大利小有知名度的畫家，而我在毛羅店裡看到的那幾幅風格特異的創作，原來是出自蜜爾卡的手下。
Mirca, her husband Mauro and my husband were high school classmates. They were one of the few people that I got to know during my first visit to Italy. With their special family story, I was deeply impressed at the first time we met. After I moved to Italy, we sometime go visiting them and I got to know that Mirca is a painter. The particular paintings I saw in Mauro’s shop are actually her art works.
今天晚上，蜜爾卡的畫展在維琴察市內某座原為教堂的展場舉行開幕典禮，這個熱鬧當然得去湊一下。當我們準時晚上六點抵達會場時，裡面已經有不少人在等待，進去和蜜爾卡打個招呼，我們便逕自看起畫來，同時並等待主辦人致詞。
There’s an opening ceremony of Mirca’s exhibition tonight. The place used to be a church and now serves as a place for artistic exhibition. We arrived on time at 6PM. and there’re already many visitors. After we greeted Mirca, we started to make a short tour of all the works, until the organizer was ready to give a talk.
從蜜爾卡的畫中，我可以感受到另一個她，那是完全不同於平日，一個很深沉的她。參加她的畫展，這已經是第二次了，從前看的時候，總有種說不出的特殊感受，然而我一直找不到適當的言語來形容；今天，當主辦人在展場中心致詞的時候，提到了爵士樂，我腦海中馬上閃起驚嘆號，就是它了，是的，對我來說，蜜爾卡的畫就像是爵士樂，時而深沉，時而輕快，不過卻帶著極為強烈的意念。
I can feel another self of Mirca from her paintings. It’s not the same person that I see normally. It’s someone of profound character. This is the second time I attended her exhibition. There’s always a special feeling when I saw her works, but I just couldn’t find the right thing and right word to explain my feelings. Tonight, when the organizer was giving his speech at the center of the exhibition hall, he mentioned jazz. At that very moment, there’s a “!” in my mind. That’s it! Yes, Mirca’s paintings are like jazz music to me, sometimes deep, sometimes light, but with strong messages.
我不懂畫，以前排斥看畫這件事，覺得這不是我的東西。不過到義大利住了幾年，耳濡目染，想法漸漸地改變。到現在，反而覺得，其實看畫也是件蠻有趣味的事。
I don’t know much about paintings. I was even against the idea to go to art galleries, because I felt I didn’t belong. After I moved to Italy, probably due to the “air”, I started to change. Now I’d even enjoy it. It’s actually quite fun to go see paintings.
