Six Memos for the Next Millennium (Italian: Lezioni americane. Sei proposte per il prossimo millennio) is a book based on a series of lectures written by Italo Calvino for the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures at Harvard, though Calvino died before delivering them. The lectures were written in Italian but were to be given in English in the fall of 1985. There have been two English translations, the first by Patrick Creagh, published in 1988, and the second by Geoffrey Brock, published in 2016.^[1]

The "memos" are lectures on certain literary qualities whose virtues Calvino wished to recommend to the then-approaching millennium. He intended to devote one lecture to each of six qualities: lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, multiplicity, and consistency. Though he completed the first five, he died before writing the last.^[2]

《六篇備忘錄，獻給下一個千年》（義大利文：Lezioni americane. Sei proposte per il prossimo millennio）是一部基於伊塔洛·卡爾維諾為哈佛大學查爾斯·艾略特·諾頓講座撰寫的一系列講座而創作的書，儘管卡爾維諾在講座發表前就去世了。這些講座以義大利文寫成，但原定於1985年秋季以英文發表。目前已有兩部英文譯本，第一部由派崔克·克里格於1988年出版，第二部由傑弗瑞·布洛克於2016年出版。 [1]

這些「備忘錄」是關於某些文學特質的講座，卡爾維諾希望將這些特質推薦給即將到來的千禧年。他計劃為六種特質各寫一篇講座：輕盈、迅速、準確、可見、多元和一致性。雖然他完成了前五篇講座，但在寫完最後一篇之前就去世了。 [2]

Athleta Christi (Latin: "Champion of Christ") was a class of Early Christian soldier martyrs or military saints, of whom the most familiar example is probably Saint Sebastian. It also could be used to refer to Christians with exemplary martial prowess, especially when fighting against non-Christians or heretics.

Usage

[edit]

Since the 15th century, the title has been a political one, granted by Popes to men who have led military campaigns defending Christianity. The militant Catholic hymn Athleta Christi nobilis ("Noble Champion of the Lord"), a hymn for Matins on 18 May, the feast of Saint Venantius, was written in the 17th century by an unknown author. The medieval precursors of the hymn are numerous and include hymns, responsories and antiphons dedicated to many saints and martyrs, even non-militant ones such as Cosmas and Damian.^[1]

Saint Julien was a nobleman whose life was marked by violence, prophecy, tragedy, and ultimately redemption through repentance.他的一生充滿暴力、預言、悲劇，最終透過懺悔而獲得救贖。

請問：卡爾維諾在巴黎隱士220頁提到的「題獻給巴黎生活及歷史的嘉年華博物館」是那個呢？
