园日涉以成趣

“园日涉以成趣”

陶渊明的这句话,照字面翻译就是:“这家小园,深得佳趣。但它何以有此佳趣呢?那是因为我天天都去走一圈的缘故。”

这样的句子,一点也不漂亮,它究竟有什么好处呢?且听我把它跟现代人的生活连线起来。

前两天偶然在路旁看到一辆货车在运送盆景,原来是家“盆景出租”店。我好奇,跑去问司机生意好不好,他说:“当然好啦,现代人么,好命,查查某人(即女人)不煮饭,买盒饭来吃,查查某人(即男人)开公司,谁要种盆景?公司小姐一个比一个‘笨惮’(即懒惰),谁肯去浇水?谁肯搬盆景去曝日(即晒太阳)?盆景给他们放一个礼拜就变黄。我们拿回来,好好整理,加点肥,晒一晒,又水当当(即漂亮)了。再拿去给他们摆,现在人做生意么,图个吉利。盆景长得好,也代表可以发财的意思哩!”

  原来如此,陶渊明说“园日涉以成趣”的时代对某些人而言竟然过去了。现代人不想跟一株植物的生命一起成长,他只想要亮丽的那—刻,他只肯回顾翠绿翠绿的那一瞥。

  而陶渊明的小园,其好,好在哪里呢?答案是好在每日涉足其间才养成的趣味。你看到小小的种子窜地而生,有模有样地变成两片小芽,复从小芽而抽条。于是你看到叶子,你看到枝干,你惊讶它的分叉,你为它从含苞至盛放的过程而瞠目结舌而不敢置信。然后,你看到它绿叶成阴果实满枝。秋来的时候,你看见它的凋零,甚至它的枝干可能还遭了雷劈,它的沃叶也可能遭了虫蛀,那棵树的枯荣是园主熟知的,他们彼此逐日更成为对方生命的一部分。他们一起走过艳红稠绿,但也一起面对萎黄零落,因而了解生命的盛衰各有其时。不料现代人却骄侈如君王,竟然狂妄到令植物打扮光鲜来为自己站岗。累了就撤下去,换另一批上来继续站。盆景公司因而业务鼎盛,只因现代人尊贵的视网膜上,永远不屑一枚枯叶。

  然而,枯叶却是生命的基本教材啊!和蓓蕾一样,它是造物者的上下两册教材啊!

  你要贪看繁花似锦的名园吗?这世界会提供给你的。四月的瑞却斯特(美国东部一城名),富豪伊士曼的故居,丁香如狂潮。日本京都的平安神官,垂樱以压倒的优势,开到令人喘不过气来。洛阳的牡丹,硕大顽强,一看就知道是唯一敢抗天颜因而遭贬的叛逆分子(传说武则天曾命百花齐放,惟牡丹不从命,故将之自长安御苑贬至洛阳)。加州的汉廷顿花园,甚至养些无奇不有的吓人一跳的沙漠怪花。英国皇家上苑,则负责提供营养良好的代表皇室荣誉的玫瑰……只要一张门票,你就可以置身于不杂一根枯枝不见一片败絮的完美花园。

  然而,人活着,还是应该拥有一座自己的小园,可以每日涉足其间。和那些卖门票的展览花园不同,它可能杂草怒生,也可能虫害连连。它丰收无限美丽,也可能徒劳无功。

  它充满各种变数,属于生命本身的变数。

  小园可以小至只是一钵非洲风仙,或一篮贱价的黄金葛,但其间自有盛衰荣枯,所以,多少也可以视做大化颁给我们的一句耳提面命。

“园日涉以成趣”,不是因为花好月圆,是因园中有生命,是因为生命时时刻刻分分秒秒在展示在演绎,在迭出奇招——而且,也因为我在看,我在参与,我在惊奇,我在受教,我在服气。

小题1:下面的内容,不符合“园日涉以成趣”意思的一项是(  )

A.我们每日涉足其间,一起走过艳红稠绿,一起面对萎黄零落。

B.我们置身于不杂一根枯枝不见一片败絮的完美花园尽享亮丽一刻。

C.我们惊讶叹服于小园的各种变数,属于生命本身的变故。

D.我们在观看、在参与的过程中收获思想,收获对生命意义的理解。小题2:下列对这篇文章的赏析,不正确的一是 (      )

A.在物欲横流的现代社会,这篇文章无疑是给了现代人一抹清凉油,清醒一下头脑来重新看待生命的本色。

B.本文运用了多种修辞手法,使文章显得生动,有吸引力。比如“你看到小小的种子窜地而出”,就运用了比喻,显示了一个小生命的勃勃生机.

C.作者认为盆景公司生意好的真正原因是“现代人尊贵的视网膜上,永远不屑一枚枯叶”。

D.作者列举那些完美花园的目的作用是为下文铺垫蓄势,使作者的观点表达得更鲜明、有力。小题3:阅读文中两处划线的句子,回答问题。

The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American

by Jeff Smith

Our real American foods have come from our soil and have been used by many groups— those who already lived here and those who have come here to live. The Native Americans already had developed an interesting cuisine using the abundant foods that were so prevalent.

The influence that the English had upon our national eating habits is easy to see. They were a tough lot, those English, and they ate in a tough manner. They wiped theft mouths on the tablecloth, if there happened to be one, and they ate until you would expect them to burst. European travelers to this country in those days were most often shocked by American eating habits, which included too much fat and too much salt and too much liquor. Not much has changed! And, the Revolutionists refused to use the fork since it marked them as Europeans. The fork was not absolutely common on the American dinner table until about the time of the Civil War, the 1860s. Those English were a tough lot.

Other immigrant groups added their own touches to the preparation of our New World food products. The groups that came still have a special sense of self-identity through their ancestral heritage, but they see themselves as Americans. This special self-identity through your ancestors who came from other lands was supposed to disappear in this country. The term melting pot was first used in reference to America in the late 1700s, so this belief that we would all become the same has been with us for a long time. Thank goodness it has never worked. The various immigrant groups continue to add flavor to the pot, all right, but you can pick out the individual flavors easily.

The largest ancestry group in America is the English. There are more people in America who claim to have come from English blood than there are in England. But is their food English Thanks be to God, it is not! It is American. The second largest group is the Germans, then the Irish, the Afro-Americans, the French, the Italians, the Scottish, and the Polish. The Mexican and American Indian groups are all smaller than any of the above, though they were the original cooks in this country.

Immigrant groups, when they got settled down in the United States, still have had their own sense of self-identity because().

A. their foods are easily identified among all the foods Americans eat.

B. their foods stand out in sharp contrast to foods of other countries.

C. they know pretty well what elements of American food are of their own countries’ origin.

D. they know pretty well how their foods contribute to American cuisine.
