芦  苇

①那些草从黑色泥地里长出来,它们和地下的根一样,也是一节一节 ,它们有着竹子一样修长的叶子,但是我的祖先却叫它们芦苇。我不知道这是为什么,父亲告诉我,芦苇到秋天的时候,就开一大团一大团的白花,冬天的时候死去,第二年春天再活过来;而竹子不开花,竹子一开花就永远地死去了,再活不过来。

②我的故乡遍布这种叫芦苇的植物,它们成片成片地生长在村庄的周围,跟着一条叫蒲苇河的河流曲折蜿蜒,长成一大片茂密的芦苇荡。

③这些植物的年纪比我祖父还大,我的祖先还没有来的时候它们就已经在这儿生长了,一年死一次,一年生一次。它们把根深深地扎进黑色的泥土里,向四周肆意扩展,你拿一把铁锨随便找个地方挖下去,都会切着它们纤细的根。父亲犁地的时候就常常翻出来一两棵脆脆的白生生的苇根,那可是一块种了多少年的熟地啊。它们藏在地下,一有机会就冒出尖尖的头来,并且趁你不留神的工夫就迅速地生长成一棵挺拔的芦苇。这些根在土里就像千万只鸟在空中一样任意飞翔,占领着空间和泥土,织成一张巨大的网。我们整个的蒲苇桥村庄就坐落在这张大网上。这里到处都长满了芦苇和蒲草,我们的村庄就是以它命名的。父亲说,实际上都是蒲苇桥一棵一棵活着的芦苇,物价瓣根像芦苇一样深深地扎在大地上,我们永远离不开这黑色的泥土。父亲说这些话的时候,我还只是一个懵懂的少年,但是我隐约地觉出父亲是一位乡村哲学家,除他之外,我还没听谁说过人是一棵芦苇。

④地面是一个界点,芦苇在两个空间里生活。根向底下使劲扩展,死死地抓住泥土;茎则直直向上,抢占着地上的位置。芦苇是一种特殊的植物,它一节一节地长着,就像我们朝廷一次长途的旅行,总要走一走歇一歇一样。每歇一次,它就挑起一把叶子做绿伞。我觉得芦苇更像一个人,抑或是人在冥冥之中学了芦苇。但人和芦苇是不一样 。一位哲人说,“人是一棵会思想的芦苇”,会思想是人比芦苇高明。但会思想也使许多人长得歪了,不能像芦苇一样正直地生长。人群中有歪心斜术之人,但谁见过一棵弯着生长的芦苇?

⑤芦苇一路直直地长下去,慢慢高过我们的头顶,我拨开苇丛走进去,后面的芦苇复又合拢,苇荡把我淹没了。这些细细的苇叶组织成了翠绿的空间。它们像一叶叶小舟,又像一队队纤柔的少女,这让我想起古老的歌谣:“蒹葭苍苍,白露为霜。所谓伊人,在水一方。”这些长腿细腰的美人儿可就是我二十年中夜夜梦见的伊人?我顺手捋过一支细长的苇节,做成清脆的苇笛,这是芦苇的情歌,汩汩流淌,滋润着幸福的胸膛。

⑥我看见母亲的羊群走进了苇荡,苇荡里马上就绽开了洁白的花朵。苇荡里偶尔会有一小片芦苇稀疏的地方,这儿长满了丰茂的野草,有水稗子草,芨芨草,开白花的野荞麦和许许多多不知名的野草,母亲的羊群就在这儿吃草,神秘而又浪漫。

⑦这让我想起我的先人,他们一拨一拨地走进苇荡,最后睡在苇荡里滋养着芦苇,不知道我的身体能生出多少棵挺拔的芦苇?

In the year 480 BC the Greek allies (联军) faced invasion by the King of Persia, Xerxes, who commanded a huge army of about half a million men. When the Persian army marched into northern Greece, the Greek states, led by Athens and Sparta, were ill equipped to deal with the threat. The Persians were well supplied with food and weapons. Their army included infantry, cavalry, and a large navy. It seemed that they would easily defeat the Greeks.

The Greek allies decided to send 10,000 men northwards to slow down the Persians, while the rest prepared to defend their homelands. A group of 300 best Spartan soldiers were chosen to lead the force going north, with Leonidas in command. Leonidas realized that the only hope of slowing the Persians would be to block the narrow passage of land at Thermopylae. The Pass of

Thermopylae was the route between the mountains and the sea, and was so narrow that only a few men could get through at a time.

When the Persian army arrived at Thermopylae, they found Leonidas' tiny army opposing them. The Persians attacked, but could not get through. They attacked again and again, but each time they were driven back by the Greeks, led by the fearless Spartans. Leonidas' plan worked well until a Greek traitor called Ephialtes went m Xerxes. He told the Persian king about a goat's path in the mountains that would take the Persian army past Thermopylae. When Leonidas saw the enemy crossing the mountains, he realized that he could no longer hold Thermopylae. He sent all the Greek soldiers except the 300 Spartans back to their homelands.

The Spartans waited for the 500,000 Persians at the goat’s path. Although hopelessly outnumbered, the Spartans fought bravely. They all died, but the other Greeks were able to get home to strengthen the defenses.
