布衣之声

家乡的味道

作者：岭南布衣

每逢过年，

便想起家乡的味道。

家乡的田埂，

上边飘着云，

四面流动着乡音，

仿若那碗长长叠起来的面，

充满家乡的情思。

每逢过年，

就想起家乡的味道。

家乡的树木，

两边散落着童年的歌声，

树梢上三两蝉鸣，

挥不去洋槐梧桐的眷恋。

每逢过年，

常想起家乡的味道。

母亲的白发，

在院子的篱笆间，

缭绕着深埋于心的牵挂和期盼。

只是，

家乡如今，

化作了清脆的汽笛声声，

长长的路，

伸向莫名的深邃，

悠远， 而绵绵！

每逢过年，

总想起家乡的味道。

家乡的味道，悠远， 而绵绵！

本文是一篇法庭辩护词，作者George Graham (1830-1904) 是美国密苏里州的一个议员，是当时杰出的演讲家和辩论家。本篇是他早年从事法律工作时在法庭上所作，其时他为一位因狗被杀而起诉的人做辩护。辩护时，他没有要求任何证词，只是凭借其辩论就赢得了官司。他辩词的撼人之处在于：拿出人类兽性的一面与狗人性的一面作对比，引起法官们对狗的感激和同情，以及对杀狗人的强烈憎恶。这不仅仅是一篇辩护词，也是一篇优秀的讲演稿，更是对人性的呼唤……

The best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name may become traitors to their faith.

The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us, may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads.

The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer.

He will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.

If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.

一个人在世上最好的朋友会和他反目，成为他的敌人。他悉心养育的儿女会不忠不孝。那些和我们最亲近的人，那些我们以幸福和美名信赖的人会背信弃义。一个人拥有的金钱会失去，也许就在他最需要的时候。一个人的名誉会因瞬间的不当之举而丧失贻尽。那些当我们功成名就时跪拜向我们致敬的人也许是第一个在失败的阴云笼罩我们时对我们投石下井。在这个自私的世界里，一个人能有的最无私的，从不抛弃他，从不知恩不报，从不背信弃义的朋友是他的狗。

无论富有或贫穷，无论健康或是患病，一个人的狗总佇立在主人身旁。如果能和主人在一起，它愿意睡在冰冷的地上，任凭寒风凛冽，朔雪飘零。它愿意亲吻没有食物奉送的手；它愿意舔抚艰难人世带来的创痕。它守卫着穷主人安睡如同守卫王子。当所有的朋友离去，它留驻。当财富不翼而飞，当名誉毁之贻尽，它仍然热爱着主人，如日当空，亘古不变。如果在命运驱使下，主人被世人抛弃，众叛亲离，无家可归，忠诚的狗仅仅要求能陪伴主人，守卫他免遭危险，去和他的敌人搏斗。

当最后的时刻来临，死神拥抱着主人，他的驱体掩埋在冰冷的黄土之下，任凭所有的朋友风流云散，就在墓地旁，你可以看见那高尚的狗，它的头伏在两爪之间，双眼神情悲伤，却警觉注视着，忠诚至死。

Address by Engels

"On the 14th of March, at a quarter to three in the afternoon, the greatest living thinker ceased to think. He had been left alone for scarcely two minutes, and when we came back we found him in his armchair, peacefully gone to sleep-but forever.

"An immeasurable loss has been sustained both by the militant proletariat of Europe and America, and by historical science, in the death of this man. The gap that has been left by the departure of this mighty spirit will soon enough make itself felt.

"Just as Darwin discovered the law of development of organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of development of human history: the simple fact, hitherto concealed by an overgrowth of ideology, that mankind must first of all eat, drink, have shelter and clothing, before it can pursue politics, science, art, religion, etc.; that therefore the production of the immediate material means of subsistence and consequently the degree of economic development attained by a given people or during a given epoch form the foundation upon which the state institutions, the legal conceptions, art, and even the ideas on religion, of the people concerned have been evolved, and in the light of which they must, therefore, be explained, instead of vice versa, as had hitherto been the case.

"But that is not all. Marx also discovered the special law of motion governing the present-day capitalist mode of production and the bourgeois society that this mode of production has created. The discovery of surplus value suddenly threw light on the problem, in trying to solve which all previous investigations, of both bourgeois economists and socialist critics, had been groping in the dark.

"Two such discoveries would be enough for one lifetime. Happy the man to whom it is granted to make even one such discovery. But in every single field which Marx investigated -- and he investigated very many fields, none of them superficially -- in every field, even in that of mathematics, he made independent discoveries.

3月14日下午两点三刻，当代最伟大的思想家停止思想了。他一个人留在房间里还不到两分钟，等我们再进去的时候，他已经坐在安乐椅上静静地睡去了──永远睡去了。

这个人的逝去，对于战斗着的欧美无产阶级来说，对于历史科学来说，都是不可估量的损失。这位巨人逝去后所形成的空白，在不久的将来，我们就会感觉到。

正如达尔文发现生物界的发展规模一样，马克思发现了人类历史的发展规律，即历来为各种思想体系所重重掩盖着的一个简单事实：人们首先必须有了衣食住行，然后才能从事政治、科学、艺术、宗教等活动，所以，直接的物质的生产资料的生产，因而一个民族和一个时代的经济发展阶段，便构成为基础，人们的国家制度、法律规定、艺术乃至宗教观念便是在这个基础上发展起来的，因此也就必须从这个基础出发来加以说明，而不是像过去那样本末倒置。

不仅如此，马克思还发现了现代资本主义生产方式以及因它所产生的资产阶级社会的特殊运动规律。无论资产阶级经济学家或社会主义批评家过去所作的一切研究都只是在黑暗中摸索，而随着剩余价值的发展，这一领域就豁然开朗了。

一个人能有这样两项发现，可以说是不虚此生了。甚至只要能做出一项这样的发现，也已经是幸福的了。可是，马克思在他所研究的每一个领域，甚至在数学领域，都有独到的发现。这样的领域很多，而且对其中任何一个领域的研究，都不是肤浅的。

A forever friend

A friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

Sometimes in life,

You find a special friend;

Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;

Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.

Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.

This is Forever Friendship.

When you're down,

and the world seems dark and empty,

Your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full.

Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times.

If you turn and walk away,

Your forever friend follows.

If you lose your way,

Your forever friend guides you and cheers you on.

Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.

And if you find such a friend,

You feel happy and complete,

Because you need not worry.

You have a forever friend for life,

And forever has no end.

永远的朋友

“别人都走开的时候，朋友仍与你在一起。”

有时候在生活中，

你会找到一个特别的朋友；

他只是你生活中的一部分内容，却能改变你整个的生活。

他会把你逗得开怀大笑；

他会让你相信人间有真情。

他会让你确信，真的有一扇不加锁的门，在等待着你去开启。

这就是永远的友谊。

当你失意，

当世界变得黯淡与空虚，

你真正的朋友会让你振作起来，原本黯淡、空虚的世界顿时变得明亮和充实。

你真正的朋友会与你一同度过困难、伤心和烦恼的时刻。

你转身走开时，

真正的朋友会紧紧相随。

你迷失方向时，

真正的朋友会引导你，鼓励你。

真正的朋友会握着你的手，告诉你一切都会好起来的。

如果你找到了这样的朋友，

你会快乐，觉得人生完整，

因为你无需要再忧虑。

你拥有了一个真正的朋友，

永永远远，永无止境。

What makes the sun set?

What makes the sun set?

What makes the moon rise?

What makes the tide remember to hide?

And why does it soon rise?

What makes a star fall?

Where does it fall to?

Why does its flight make us stop in the night?

And wish as we all do

And what holds a cloud together?

What makes a sky so blue?

What makes the sun set?

What makes the moon rise?

Is it my love for you?

And what holds a cloud together?

And what makes the sky so blue?

What makes the sun set?

What makes the moon rise? Is it my love for you?

是什么让太阳落下

翻译（1）：麦蔼欣

是什么让太阳落下？

是什么让月亮升起？

是什么让潮汐惦记着躲闪？

又是什么让它很快升涨？

是什么让一颗星星坠落？

它将落向何方？

为什么它的飞驰能让我们停住夜的脚步，

许愿，一如我们都做的那样

是什么让云聚在一起？

是什么让天空那么湛蓝？

是什么使太阳落下？

是什么让月亮升起？

是我对你的爱吗？

是什么让云聚在一起？

是什么让天空那么湛蓝？

是什么使太阳落下？

是什么让月亮升起？

是我对你的爱吧？

诉衷情

何事落日唤月兴，

潮伏汐又盈。

星陨无处觅踪，诚愿却夜行。

云卷静，天朗青，是物引。

朝至阳屏，

晚及玉明，

相思难停。

原来，秋天是寂静的。作者：逸野

那是一种成熟的安静，饱经风雨，脸上，却只是挂一抹恬淡的微笑。有一些黄菊花，在山野静静地开放，美丽了人们的眼；有一些果实，在枝头默默地芬芳，装饰了红尘的梦。朝霞漫天的清晨，有小鸟的歌唱若隐若现；残阳如血的傍晚，有洞箫的声音如丝如缕。那黄菊花，那累累的果实，那小鸟的歌唱，那如火如荼的夕阳，多么绚丽，多么激越昂扬啊！可是，他们的姿态是谦逊的，他们的神情是从容的，即使是迎风起舞的动作，也是那样轻柔纾缓，波澜不惊。

寂静的秋天，我去聆听一弯湖水的心事。四面青山，高峡平湖，一个与世隔绝的世界。知道湖的人很少，滚滚红尘有着怎样的繁华，湖也不懂得。湖很单纯，单纯得没有色彩，可是，她又有着无比丰富饱满的色彩。姹紫嫣红的山花，如诗如画的彩虹，斑斓多姿的秋叶，浓墨重彩的霞光，都赋予她灵动和活力。还有无数的飞鸟，他们歇落在湖边，用洁净的湖水梳理他们美丽的羽毛。湖看着他们，默默地，从来没有说过一句话。但是湖的心里，深爱着他们。

风云突变的日子，世界变得很冷酷。山洪无情地倾泻下来，枯枝败叶和动物的尸体漂浮在湖面，美丽的湖被摧残得面目全非。湖不哭泣，不抱怨，以她宽广的胸怀，包容了一切。伤你最深的人，往往是你爱得最深的人，宽容，爱的最深含义。

寂静的秋天，我对候鸟诉说悲伤。我的心中是有许多悲伤的，如影随形，挥之不去。行走的人，心怀梦想的人，爱过痛过的人，哪个没有悲伤呢？花开花谢的春之殇，冷雨如箭的夏之苦，衰草连天的秋之祭，万物凋零的冬之寒，爱如流水，季节如风，生命中不能承受之重，诉与谁人听？是谁说过：“尽管人群拥挤，每个人都是沉默的，孤独的。我们就像被遗弃的孩子，迷失在森林里。当你站在我面前，看着我时，你知道我心里的悲伤吗？你知道你自己心里的悲伤吗？”

可见，人生本就是悲伤的。有一种悲伤，我们自己不知道；有一种悲伤，自己知道了却无法诉说不能诉说。悲伤是生命的一部分，或者沉重，或者美丽，只有你自己承当。候鸟懂得我的悲伤吗？也许懂得，也许不懂。看着候鸟从我的眼前飞过，忽然想起泰戈尔的诗“天空没有翅膀的痕迹，可是我已经飞过。”

寂静的秋天，我学会忘记一个人。下午四点过后，阳光总是很好，我喜欢靠在软绵绵的沙发上，喝加了薰衣草的普洱茶，听童丽或是降央卓玛的歌。落地玻璃门的外面，一抹青山葱茏着，高大的桉树在阳光下轻柔地摇摆。蝉声已经远去，秋蝉在这个季节告别昨日，羽化成仙。一些细微的声响，在歌声之外，传递到我的耳膜，那是一朵花落地的声音，或者一片叶子随风飘逝的颤动。正是这些声音，令秋天显得越发寂静了。

心很安宁，很寂静。只有一颗真正寂静的心，才能感受到浓重奢华的秋天里那别样的寂静。当其他季节的往事越来越模糊，当曾经令你死去活来的故事情节变得毫不相干，我知道，有一种誓言，从一说出口就已经成为历史；有一种缘分，从相遇的最初就已经注定了分离。没有谁是可以永生永世的，泪痕依稀，而那个你曾经以为与你的生命不可剥离的人，其实已经在告别的刹那，开始遗忘。

寂静的秋天，我去看望一棵乌桕树。山岗上的乌桕树，在我童年的时候就已经站立在那。看上去，乌桕树越发地老了，树身上有鼓起的结节，显得苍老而丑陋；雷电劈开过它的身体，一道触目惊心的裂痕，昭示出生命的韧度和深度。很早就以为乌桕树要死了，捱不过一个冬天，然而，数十个冬天过去，它依旧挺立不倒，郁郁葱葱。

在我老家的深秋，乌桕树是最引人注目的。其他的植物都一如既往地苍翠着，唯有它，独树一帜地撑开了一抹艳红。经历过数不尽的风霜，经受过数不尽的劫难，乌桕树，他有多少的荣耀和自豪啊！斜阳脉脉，山野无声，乌桕树站立在山岗上，跟几十年前一样，沉静安然。正当我想开口说些什么，乌桕树轻轻摆了摆手，一片深红的叶片飘落在我的跟前。我若有所悟。“生若夏花之绚烂，死若秋叶之静美”，感激生命，感恩自然，不正是这样一种境界么？

原来，秋天是寂静的。
