都市歌者


顾连梅
近来,每天清晨我都在小鸟清亮的歌唱中醒来。而当我起来忙碌之后,就听不到它的歌声了。小鸟的歌声只属于清晨,属于东升的旭日、微凉的晨风、晶莹的露珠以及晨风中刚刚醒来的花朵,属于一切和它一样喜欢清晨的事物,它只在清晨最新鲜的空气和宁静的世界里歌唱。中午和傍晚听不到它歌唱。它的歌声不大,甚至有些纤细,有些娇嫩,如果你不留意,你是不会意识到它的歌唱,但歌声里注满了热情和生机,洋溢着对生命的礼赞。是名副其实的都市小小的歌者。我怎会在这样的呼唤中昏睡呢
我搬入这个市中心的新村有几个年头了。在今冬以前,我始终没有注意到清晨的都市歌者。今年冬天,江南在持续温暖气候之后,忽然冷起来,断断续续地下了好几场大雪,纷纷扬扬的大雪,令人措手不及,人们被这神话般的大雪迷住了,也被它吓倒了,清晨起床成了大问题。为了上班不迟到,我的闹钟和手机都用来叫早,可我还是迟到了几回。有一天,睡意蒙咙的我,忽然听到了一阵叽叽喳喳的鸟鸣,热闹如旷野中的麻雀。起初我还以为自己听岔了:这水泥堆砌的都市哪来的小鸟是人家的宠物画眉或鹦鹉吧我起身推开窗子,却望见对面三层楼的屋顶上,洁白的雪花中,聚集着几十只麻雀,它们时而跳跃,时而追逐,时而飞翔,伴随婉转的鸣唱,我心旷神怡。我有点兴奋,没想到在钢筋水泥筑就的城里还有如此鲜活灵动的生命,还有如此自由欢畅的歌声,这群生意盎然的小家伙是从哪儿来的呀如何就选择这儿做了它们的家它们欢快的歌声是为了这难得的雪花,抑或雪霁后的丽日朝阳
此后,除了天下大雨,我几乎每天睁开眼睛都能听到它们的歌唱,这样开始的早晨常常令我愉快一天。我上班已经很少迟到,小鸟热情的呼唤,比任何闹铃都管用。想来好笑,我作为一个人,却要这样的小动物来叫早,简直匪夷所思。静下来的时候,我一个人会想起这些小家伙,童年的记忆也随之打开。
我生长在乡村,冬天是麻雀云集屋前檐下的季节,草垛上,电线杆上都有它们的身影和歌声。寒冷的冬日,往往因有了小麻雀此起彼伏的歌唱而热闹、丰富,小麻雀的歌声里,温馨弥漫整个村庄。暖暖的阳光下,孩子们总想用各种方式去逮它们,米粒、谷子、芝麻等诱饵,无所不用。但很少能抓住它们,它们太胆小、太敏感,任何轻微的响动足以吓跑它们。偶尔,稻场上却会有一只翅膀尚未长硬的幼雀蹒跚地踯躅,我们不费吹灰之力,就可以捕捉住。但大人却觉得幼雀可怜,要求放掉。逃生了的幼雀,往往能一下振翅高飞,追随鸟群远去。而我的心也追随着那小小的身影飞远了。
在我的童年时代还未结束的时候,我远离了家乡的田野,远离了小鸟歌唱,寄居城市的高楼。时间一长,我渐渐淡忘了童年的乐趣。我已习惯了在汽车的尾气和喧嚣中生活,看惯了灰色天空下蒙满尘埃的树木与花草,听惯了充满伤感和孤寂的流行音乐。像一棵被移植的树在不适合的土地上生长。在城市生活不听音乐,那种远离土地的空虚和孤独无以排遣。我在音乐中流连,在书本中徜徉,企求寻找童年时代的温馨。但现在,那熟稔又陌生的鸟鸣这样不期而至地闯进我的生活,我怎能不感慨良多呢
自然,自然界的万物总在我们看不见的深处与我们紧密相连,总会在某个时候突然与我们相遇,让我们体会无以言表的喜悦和感动,让我们突然回到过去,回到童年,回到无比温暖的故乡。一只小小的麻雀,都市里微不足道的歌者,就这样丰厚了我的生活乃至生命。

文章花了不少篇幅来写童年的记忆,这有必要吗请分别在结构和内容方面谈谈你的看法。

答案

参考答案:文章花了不少篇幅来写童年的记忆是有必要的。结构上写童年的乐趣,即是对上文“我”何以如此钟情于小鸟歌声的交代,又很自然地引出作者城市生活的空虚、孤独以及由此产生的诸多感慨,使文章思路清晰,承接自然,浑然一体。内容上,童年的记忆让作者回到无比温暖的故乡,与城市生活的空虚和孤独形成强烈的对比,从而深化了主旨。
