扶桑花里的《诗经》

  ①沉睡的神态,是一片眼影,涂在春天里的睡眠上,沉默的扶桑树,仿佛等待着谁吹响天空的号角,让草尖上的晨雾,退出一条道路来。在滇西北,那一条峡谷井一样深,我与它厮守着,阅读着那本厚厚的《诗经》,心里却怀想着一个遥远的城市。滇西北的峡谷,在群山里像一座古老的寺院,在红尘之外,在内心深处。我不知道,是谁在这间破败的屋旁,植下了一棵扶桑树,经年之后,它长长的枝条已经抵达了被雨水浸黑的屋檐。扶桑花在深夜里开放着,潜伏着。等我推开门,清晨的坡地上,淡黄色的阳光已经把峡谷里的岩石和草丛蒸出一片雾气来,给它们镀上一层湿意。

  ②怀想着一座城市,我的梦便与这条深深的峡谷无关。

  ③火车开进了站台,那么多的人,手里提着行李箱,在挥别与叮嘱中挤来挤去。脚下的道路不是单行道,我站在路边,对着自己的内心,一遍又一遍地拷问:走?还是留?只身一人,在城市里,闻着房间里的霉味,我终于对自己说:该回去了。

  ④回到峡谷,我就走不出去了,没有谁会再给我一个机会,让我回到那座城市里去,把我丢失在那里的脚印和心找回来。是的,在这幽深的峡谷里,手里拿着古老的《诗经》,我又想到了那座遥远的城市。虽然那座城市里也有紫红色的玉兰花,初春时节,都会在枝头上焰火一样绽放。但是,一去不返的人是我,而不是谁离开了峡谷,去了那座城市,让我日夜思念。

  ⑤靠着扶桑树粗大的树干,我把《诗经》放在脚下的一只小木凳上,听着江水在远处的山腰后面哗哗地流淌着,那水声,仿佛是一条连绵不绝的褐色绸缎,在风里无休止地展开,在炽烈的阳光下闪闪发光。群山顶上飘过一朵灰色的浮云,峡谷里顿时暗了下来,就像一只巨大的河蚌,收拢了它的壳。是啊,我离开那座城市的时候,是因为一扇门对我关上了。只有这个峡谷,就像一个疼爱孩子的母亲,从来都用那群山之间的怀抱,接纳一个归来者。回到峡谷里的时候,只剩下一个人和一本《诗经》。只有峡谷,才会对我有如此的夸赞。

  ⑥云朵从头顶上掠过去了。我从树影里走出来,站在阳光里,面对着峡谷对面倾斜的山脊,深深地呼了一口气。正午,阳光照着整个峡谷里的岩石、草丛、藤蔓、水渠、磨坊、栈道,所有的植物都在疯狂地生长着,白天的阳光把充足的温暖送到每一片叶子上,只等着暮色降临的时候,凝结的露珠又会让那些土壤潮湿,让水分沿着在地下密布的根须流淌。这样的峡谷,每一年都有花朵绽放,瓜果飘香,当我转过身来,向着身边的扶桑树做出一个拥抱的姿势,却看见枝头的几朵扶桑花早已完全绽开了,它们宽阔的花瓣火焰一样缀满了纤细的枝头,那灼目的颜色,仿佛是一首规模宏大的交响乐。我对自己说:重新开始吧。当我翻开我的《诗经》,最开始的一个篇章说:“关关雎鸠,在河之洲。”这不是一首爱情诗,但它说出了绵长而执著的爱。《诗经》翻开了,这是第一个篇章,后面还有三百零五篇。我的小屋也只是峡谷眉心上的一颗暗红色的痣,谁又能够清楚地知道,这峡谷究竟又有多宽广呢?(选自《厦门义学》有删改)

2.睡眠 退出一条道路来

3.淡淡的愁思和热烈的希望 对峡谷、扶桑花的喜爱之情。

4.滇西北的峡谷生活是恬淡的生活,是作者精神世界的象征;而城市生活是世俗的生活,是作者孤独的象征。作者在城市中遭到排挤,感到孤独、寂寞,但峡谷的生活给作者以力量和美好的感受。

5.文章用城市的玉兰花与峡谷中的扶桑花形成对比,两种花都是在春天开放、都是红色的,但“我”离开了玉兰花回到了扶桑花的身边。表现了作者对城市生活、峡谷生活的看法,体现了作者对峡谷生活的喜爱之情。

6.因为《诗经》是作者生活的精神力量。扶桑花开满枝头,手中的《诗经》体现出来的也是开始。“我”在这样的环境中,感受到的是生机、是开始,是对未来的期望。(意对即可)

Yesterday's paper had a short article about the Coming-of-Age ceremony in a large city in Japan. According to the article, the mayor of the city formally apologized to an enraged professor who delivered a speech at the ceremony that was all but ignored by 20-year-olds in the city.

The officials prepared 7,000 seats in a gymnasium where the ceremony was held for the 17,000 twenty-year-olds residing in the city. But most of the seats were empty during the speech. And many of the 20-year-olds who did show up ignored the professor and spoke among themselves or talked on their mobile phones. Some even made a ruckus (骚动) outside the gymnasium.

One 20-year-old who attended the ceremony said youngsters came to the ceremony not to

listen to speeches but to see their classmates. The mayor criticized the young generation at a news conference on Tuesday, saying such behavior "is symbolic of the postwar era which failed to

nurture healthy character and social intelligece."

Personally I feel people should not generalize the whole generation or the whole era when he criticizes something. But it is also true generation gap is getting bigger and bigger regarding the ceremony of Coming-of-Age Day. So far this ceremony has been held with citizens' tax money. Many older generations understand this festival as an entrance ceremony of adults' world which requires maturity including responsibility, patience, and cooperativeness. Older people tend to be "educational" to younger ones, while younger people tend to feel they finally obtain a right to behave freely because they are now adults. Though, ironically, young people have to ask their parents to buy them new clothes for the ceremony.

It is about time to change the way we celebrate this festival, I think. The idea of blessing new 20-year-olds is not so bad. But there seems to be some other ways to celebrate more properly. The present way seems to me a little superficial and materialistic. It can provide solutionless arguments between different generations, instead of friendships and respects. Instead of eternally complaining about the young's behaviors at the ceremonies, people should consider how they can make their ceremonies worthier, I feel.
