续17楼

从这次起,老虎对Pi来说代表特别的意义:
经过爸爸那天的教训后,一切都变了
Things changed after the day of Apa's lesson.
世界丧失了一些它的魅力
The world had lost some of its enchantment.
学校的生活很无聊,只有事实、分数和法语
School was a bore, nothing
but facts, fractions and french.
单字与文法无穷无尽
Words and patterns that went on and on without end,
就像我那非理性的绰号(π)一样
just like my irrational nickname.
我在烦躁不安的情况下成长著
I grew restless,
寻找著一些可能给我的生命带回意义的东西
searching for something that might bring meaning back into my life.
然后,我遇见了安娜蒂(听说小说不存在这个女朋友)
And then, I met Anandi.

森林里的莲花,手绳
顺带一提
红毛猩猩 orang utan,来自
orang(person) + hutan(forest) = person of the forest 森林人.
然后猩猩代表Pi母...森林里有莲花...莲花内有牙齿...嗯......
(小说基友说神秘岛上共找到成年人总数的牙齿)
