風(fēng)箏也有賭氣的時(shí)候,任你如何擺布,它總要往地上栽。這時(shí)的小伙伴決不會(huì)張飛似的環(huán)眼圓睜,一腳踏翻它的,而總是小心翼翼地檢查一番,找出毛病,對(duì)癥下藥。
魚,我所欲也;熊掌,亦我所欲也。二者不可得兼,舍魚而取熊掌者也。生,亦我所欲也;義,亦我所欲也。二者不可得兼,舍生而取義者也。生亦我所欲,所欲有甚于生者,故不為茍得也
I joineda band (樂隊(duì))as a drummer in my middle school. I thought itwould be fun playing the drum and meeting new friends. At first it was easy,but a month later, it got difficult. I was the only one who couldn’t keep pace (節(jié)奏)with the other players. Our teacher,Angie, singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax.

第二年的端午節(jié),我到離沙地稍遠(yuǎn)一點(diǎn)的一個(gè)村子里采訪。這個(gè)地方幾乎家家房前屋后都是沙棗,就像成都平原上一叢竹林一戶人家。過去我以為沙棗總是臨沙傍堿而居,其葉總是小而灰,色調(diào)總是暗而舊。但在這里,沙棗依水而長,一片蔥綠,最大的一片葉子居然有一指之長,是我過去看到的三倍之大。

門前廣場(chǎng)上臨時(shí)拉了一些電燈,將堡門下半截依稀照見,上半截和高高在上的門樓混在如墨的夜色里。一個(gè)正在熔化鐵水的大爐子起勁地?zé)?。鼓風(fēng)機(jī)使?fàn)t頂和爐門不停地吐著奪目的火舌。
第二天打早,母親便端一小凳,坐在這些水淋淋的盆具間,像一位老到的藝術(shù)家,開始了熟練的操作。包粽子說難不難,但真要把它包得大頭尖尾,見棱見角——按母親的說法要“俊??印?,也不容易。
這種美如此生動(dòng),直教我心靈震顫,甚至畏怯。是的,人可以直面威脅,可以蔑視陰謀,可以踩過骯臟的泥濘,可以對(duì)嘰嘰咕咕保持沉默,可以對(duì)丑惡閉上眼睛,然而在面對(duì)美的精靈時(shí)卻是一種怯弱。

我從認(rèn)字起,爸爸就給我買書刊,我關(guān)注的第一本文學(xué)書是爸爸在閱讀的《紅巖》,當(dāng)時(shí)書名上的字我還識(shí)不全,就念成了“紅山石”,別人都笑了,而爸爸微笑著說:“她聰明,大概的意思并沒有錯(cuò)。”
