New Bond Street

"世界最大的私營房產公司「高緯環球」（Cushman & Wakefield）的一份報告顯示，英國倫敦新邦德街（New Bond Street）已超過巴黎的香榭麗舍大道，成為歐洲租金最貴的商業街，聚集了阿瑪尼（Armani）等各種頂級奢侈品牌。"http://www.bbc.co.uk/zhongwen/trad/uk/2010/09/100923_life_rent.shtml



Bond Street is a major shopping street in London which runs through Mayfair from Piccadilly in the south to Oxford Street in the north. It is one of the principal streets in the West End shopping district and is more upmarket than nearby Regent Street and Oxford Street. It is in the Mayfair district of London, and has been a fashionable shopping street since the 18th century. Technically "Bond Street" does not exist: The southern section is known as Old Bond Street, and the northern section, which is rather more than half the total length, is known as New Bond Street. This distinction, however, is not generally made in everyday usage.

龐德（或邦德）街

龐（邦）德街與Virginia Wolf 很有緣。譬如說，小說『達洛衛夫人』 （1925），原為短篇『達洛衛夫人在龐（邦）德街』（1923） 問市。（Mrs. Dalloway - Virginia Woolf - 1925The story of Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf, first appeared as a short story, Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street, published in 1923. The novel was published in 1925.）
這本雖說是意識流作品，不過有些街景，最能影響主角之心境。

「邦德街使她著迷，旺季中的邦德街清晨吸引著她：街上旗幟飄揚，兩旁商店林立，毫無俗氣的炫耀…..父親在那兒買衣服達五十年之久…..」（引上海譯文版；台北的志文版，注解比較多，或許更佳……）
（Jean Moorcroft Wilson points out how Woolf uses external scenes in London to reflect the characters' internal reality (see pp 125-126 re MD). She illustrates with quotations about Clarissa on Bond Street (see p 11, beginning with "Bond Street fascinated her")）

Night and Day by Woolf, Virginia
Towards the end of the morning, however, Catherine, having occasion for some indispensable yard of ribbon which must be bought without a moment's delay, walked out into the town, and in Bond Street overtook the second Miss Thorpe as she was loitering towards Edgar's Buildings between two of the sweetest girls in the world, who had been her dear friends all the morning.

"My dear Mrs. Palmer!"
"Upon my honour I did.--I met Colonel Brandon Monday morning in Bond-street, just before we left town, and he told me of it directly."
"You surprise me very much. Colonel Brandon tell you of it! Surely you must be mistaken. To give such intelligence to a person who could not be interested in it, even if it were true, is not what I should expect Colonel Brandon to do."
"But I do assure you it was so, for all that, and I will tell you how it happened. When we met him, he turned back and walked with us; and so we began talking of my brother and sister, and one thing and another, and I said to him, 'So, Colonel, there is a new family come to Barton cottage, I hear, and mama sends me word they are very pretty, and that one of them is going to be married to Mr. Willoughby of Combe Magna. Is it true, pray? for of course you must know, as you have been in Devonshire so lately.'"
