     Childhood was an illusion (错觉) and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, Imean everything,

not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which

seemed endless. "Are we there yet, Daddy?"

     Funfairs (游乐场) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting

danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an

unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable.

     As I've grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have bulled. Surprises have lurned into shocks. Days

go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion? 

     I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger

world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes

helplessly like a child, and then, even though I'm a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and

sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.

[甲]晏子使楚

       晏子至,楚王赐晏子酒。酒酣,吏二缚一人诣王。王曰:“缚者曷为者也?”对曰:“齐人也,坐盗。”王视晏子曰:“齐人固善盗乎?”晏子避席对曰:”晏闻之,橘生淮南则为橘,生于淮北则为枳,叶徒相似,其实味不同。所以然者何?水土异也。今民生长于齐不盗,入楚则盗,得无楚之水土使民善盗耶?”王笑曰:“圣人非所与熙也,寡人反取病焉。”
