難得出差,路上又讀了一遍《老人與?!?。一樣的路,十年前走過(guò)和十年后走過(guò),心境是迥異的;同一本書(shū),十年前去讀和現(xiàn)在再讀,體會(huì)自然也是非常不一樣的。
? ?至少以前并沒(méi)有堅(jiān)持寫(xiě)讀書(shū)筆記,而且現(xiàn)在開(kāi)始學(xué)著讀英文版了。
老人與海的故事應(yīng)該有三個(gè)主角:意識(shí)、身體、海。當(dāng)然還有一些其他角色:小男孩、小船、小鳥(niǎo)、海藻、星星、云、風(fēng)......他們讓老人并不孤單。
故事圍繞著三個(gè)主角的關(guān)系展開(kāi),他們之間既是朋友又是敵人,他們彼此依賴又互相排斥,與之相伴的是堅(jiān)韌、樂(lè)觀、信念、希望......
“he thought, I keep them with precision. Only I have no luck any more. But who knows? Maybe today. Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.”
“I love you and respect you very much. But I will kill you dead before this day ends.”“I wish I could feed the fish, he thought. He is my brother. But I must kill him and keep strong to do it.”“”
“then etching again and he knew no man was ever alone on the sea.”
“There are three things that are brothers: the fish and my two hands.”
“I wish I was the fish, he thought, with everything he has against only my will and my intelligence.”
“He was comfortable but suffering, although he did not admit the suffering at all.”(距離南馬還有三個(gè)月了)
“Each time was a new time and he never thought about the past when he was doing it.”
“But his left hand had always been a traitor and would not do what he called on it to do and he did not trust it.”
“How many people will he feed, he thought. But are they worthy to eat him? No, of course not. There is no one worthy of eating him from the manner of his behaviour and his great dignity.”
“It is enough to live on the sea and kell our true brothers.”(想起了狼圖騰)
“It is half a day and a night and now another day and you have not slept. You must devise a way so that you sleep a little if he is quiet and steady. If you do not sleep you might become unclear in the head.”
“I must hold his pain where it is, he thought. Mine does not matter. I can control mine. But his pain could drive him mad.”
“Come on and kill me. I do not care who kills who.”
“You must keep your head clear. Keep your head clear and know how to suffer like a man. Or a fish, he thought.”
? ? 相比于“得到”,“失去”更讓人痛苦。無(wú)論“得到”的過(guò)程多么千辛萬(wàn)苦,前方總有一個(gè)叫做“希望”的燈塔。然而“失去”之路是面對(duì)著無(wú)邊的黑暗和無(wú)底的深淵,心、境都是不停的down...down...down....老人是以什么樣的行動(dòng)面對(duì)注定的失???
“It was too good to last...”
“Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what thers is.”
“But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”
“The wind is our friend, anyway, he thought. Then he added, sometimes. And the great sea with our friends and our enemies.”
? ? 佛說(shuō)得失隨緣,讓人心向往之。而這故事里的老人,教我們行必能至。
