总有一些东西在大地上醒着

李雪峰

  ①喧嚣在暮色里沉淀,不久,村庄就沉沉睡着了。灯一盏一盏地熄了,星星一粒一粒地稠了。夜色让一切都沉沉睡熟,让一切生灵都沉入到睡梦中去了。

  ②但总有一些东西在夜晚是醒着的。

  ③那是我十六七岁时的一个春天,我家刚刚搬到村南头新盖不久的新居里。那是一座土屋,墙用新泥搪过,地用榔头狠命地砸捶过。有一天我弯腰在床底下潮湿的纸箱里找书,看见床底下的地上钻出一根鸡蛋粗的白色树芽来。我没理睬它,心想床底下的东西难道还会成就出什么气候。第二天早上起床伸手去床里边摸衣裳的时候,我在衣裳下摸到一个又光又滑的东西,不由大吃一惊,定下神来一看,竟是那棵树芽,白白的,嫩嫩的,项梢拳头一样没展开的地方,裹着一层滑腻的胎液。一夜竟长得比我的床还高了,这鬼东西,我睡着了,村庄睡着了,它却醒着。如果不理睬它,说不准有一天一觉醒来,我会发现自己已经浑然不觉地睡到了它长成的树上去了。

  ④我钻到床下扳掉了它。我知道,它是那棵泡桐树根绽出的新芽。那是一棵高大的泡桐,原来就长在我放床的地方,盖房时嫌它碍事,就把它锯了,生怕它会长出树芽来,又挖地六七尺,刨出它深藏的树根,这样才觉得踏实。没想到它还会靠那些残根冒出树芽来。在那座老屋里,在那张床底下,我曾一次又一次扳倒过许多冒出的苍白树芽,直到几年后,当我扳得有些心烦意乱时,它才终于不再冒出新的树芽来。我想它还是终于睡着了,那棵泡桐树的灵魂终于睡着了,或许是永远睡着了。

  ⑤前年老家的那座土屋坍塌了,家里人也没理睬它,想不到我以前放床的地方竞长出一棵树苗来,一个春天竟然长出了丈余高。我大吃一惊,本以为已经十多年了,它已经睡熟再不会醒来了,但它依旧醒着,几滴残雨几缕风又让它长成一棵树了。

  ⑥鸟儿睡了,牲畜睡了,我们睡了,村庄睡了,世界睡了,但还是有一些东西在我们睡熟时它却醒着,生长着,并悄悄地打量着这个世界

  ⑦泥土是不会睡着的,灵魂是不会睡着的,时光是不会睡着的,在我们沉沉睡着的时候,它们还醒着。

  ⑧我终于明白,即使在我们已经睡熟或沉睡的时候,总有一些东西在大地上醒着。

     Treetops, the hotel in the trees, is famous in the world. Peop1e know little about Kenya, but they know of Treetops. When King George VI died, Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops, and when she

came down from there, "She succeeded him as the queen of the country".

     The hotel is in the middle of the forest, and it shows the pleasure of Africa. When you visit it, you will

be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses, and then a guide, with a gun to protect you against big

game, will go with you to the Treetops. Before and after dinner, for the whole night if you wish, you can sit on the corridor(走廊), watching animals come to the water pool. The earliest hotel Treetops was built

round a large tree on the opposite side of the water, but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel

Treetops, which is built round several trees, is much bigger.

     The dining room at Treetops is small, and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests, so a clever

"railway service" has been invented. Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them, along a line in the center of the table.

     There are many animals around the Treetops. When you visit them, you can see:

     ---Animals and their babies are waiting to greet the guests.

     ---Animals, enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight.

     ---A long bodied, long ring tailed very active cat-like animal is a special one coming out at night. He

hunts and eats anything he can catch and is very destructive. He lives in the trees at Treetops. He comes

for his food every evening. Do not get too near to him, as his teeth and claws(爪)can do you harm. These animals can be trained and become lovely pets.
