"Can't you see I'm a paying you a compliment, you gosling?" she said, and Lyra was pacified, though she didn't understand. When they reached the byanplats it was evening, and the sun was about to set in a splash of bloody sky. The low island and the Zaal were humped blackly against the light, like the clustered buildings around; threads of smoke rose into the still air, and from the press of boats all around came the smells of frying fish, of smokeleaf, of jenniver spirit. They tied up close to the Zaal itself, at a mooring Tony said had been used by their family for generations. Presently Ma Costa had the frying pan going, with a couple of fat eels hissing and sputtering and the kettle on for potato powder. Tony and Kerim oiled their hair, put on their finest leather jackets and blue spotted neckerchiefs, loaded their fingers with silver rings, and went to greet some old friends in the neighboring boats and drink a glass or two in the nearest bar. They came back with important news. "We got here just in time. The Roping's this very night. And they're a saying in the town-what d'you think of this?- they're saying that the missing child's on a gyptian boat, and she's a going to appear tonight at the Roping!" He laughed loudly and ruffled Lyra's hair. Ever since they'd entered the fens he had been more and more good tempered, as if the savage gloom his face showed outside were only a disguise. And Lyra felt an excitement growing in her breast as she ate quickly and washed the dishes before combing her hair, tucking the alethiometer into the wolfskin coat pocket, and jumping ashore with all the other families making their way up the slope to the Zaal. She had thought Tony was joking. She soon found that he wasn't, or else that she looked less like a gyptian than she'd thought, for many people stared, and children pointed, and by the time they reached the great doors of the Zaal they were walking alone between a crowd on either side, who had fallen back to stare and give them room. And then Lyra began to feel truly nervous. She kept close to Ma Costa, and Pantalaimon became as big as he could and took his panther shape to reassure her. Ma Costa trudged up the steps as if nothing in the world could possibly either stop her or make her go more quickly, and Tony and Kerim walked proudly on either side like princes. The hall was lit by naphtha lamps, which shone brightly enough on the faces and bodies of the audience, but left the lofty rafters hidden in darkness. The people coming in had to struggle to find room on the floor, where the benches were already crowded; but families squeezed up to make space, children occupying laps and daemons curling up underfoot or perching out of the way on the rough wooden walls. At the front of the Zaal there was a platform with eight carved wooden chairs set out. As Lyra and the Costas found space to stand along the edge of the hall, eight men appeared from the shadows at the rear of the platform and stood in front of the chairs. A ripple of excitement swept over the audience as they hushed one another and shoved themselves into spaces on the nearest bench. Finally there was silence and seven of the men on the platform sat down. The one who remained was in his seventies, but tall and bull necked and powerful. He wore a plain canvas jacket and a checked shirt, like many gyptian men; there was nothing to mark him out but the air of strength and authority he had. Lyra recognized it: Uncle Asriel had it, and so did the Master of Jordan. This man's daemon was a crow, very like the Master's raven. "That's John Faa, the lord of the western gyptians," Tony whispered. 炎炎烈日,鹹鹹的海風,海浪有節奏地拍打著海岸。 小男孩正在沙灘上快樂地忙碌著。他一會兒跪在地上,用小塑料鍬一鍬一鍬把海沙裝進一個漂亮的小桶裡;一會兒,小男孩又興高採烈地把一桶桶海沙堆積在一起。他的心裡充滿了希望,充滿了信心,也充滿了歡喜。他要建造一座城堡。 小男孩整整忙碌了一個下午。壘起堅實的城牆,放幾個小瓶子,那便是守城的衛兵;挖一條寬闊的護城河,搭上幾根冰棒棍,那就是連接城內外的吊橋。男孩心目中最雄偉的城堡已經完美地展現在他的眼前。 繁華的都市。行色匆匆的路人。辦公室裡,電話鈴聲、印表機的聲音、鍵盤的敲擊聲混雜在一起。 他的案頭,文件堆積如山。他一邊審閱著報表,一邊嫻熟地用臉頰和肩膀夾著電話,還不時地掃一眼電腦屏幕上不斷變化著的曲線。他的心裡充滿了數字,充滿了曲線,也充滿了利潤。他也要建造一座城堡。 他的一生都在忙忙碌碌。他的投資是通向城堡的惟一橋梁;他的利潤、他的金錢就是他守城的衛兵。他心目中那個最牢固、最美麗的城堡仿佛已經近在咫尺。 他們都是天才的建築師。因為心中裝滿了夢想,所以才有宏偉的藍圖;因為對夢想的執著,所以才能聚沙成塔;因為不辭勞苦,所以才能成就大業。 兩座城堡,也有著同樣的宿命。一旦海浪襲來,一切都將化為烏有,不復存在。 可這兩位建築師卻又有著天壤之別。小男孩清楚地知道那城堡的歸宿;而他卻不明白城堡的必然結果,即使明白,他也不願意去相信、不甘心去接受。 當夜色降臨,海浪越來越近的時候,那聰明的孩子會為自己的城堡鼓掌。他歡呼著,雀躍著,沒有悲傷,沒有懼怕,沒有遺憾。因為他知道,這一切都是必然,他一點兒都不覺得意外。一排大浪襲來,他的傑作被收回了大海,他笑了。收拾起自己的工具,他牽著媽媽的手回家了。或許,明天他還會來。 而他卻永遠不能像孩童那般坦蕩、豁達、睿智。當生活的潮水衝刷他的城堡的時候,他感到恐懼;當歲月的波濤侵蝕他的城堡的時候,他感到痛心;當生命的輪迴要收回他的傑作的時候,他感到惶恐。生活的車輪依然滾滾向前,無需向他說明,誰都清楚,那城堡究竟應該屬於誰。The scorching sun, the salty sea breeze and the waves beat the coast rhythmically. The little boy is busy happily on the beach. For a while, he knelt on the ground and put the sea sand into a beautiful bucket with a small plastic spade; for a while, the little boy happily piled the buckets together. His heart was full of hope, confidence and joy. He's going to build a castle. The little boy has been busy all afternoon. Build a solid wall, put a few small bottles, that is the guard of the city; dig a wide moat, put up a few popsicles, that is the hanging bridge connecting the inside and outside of the city. The most magnificent castle in the boy's mind has been perfectly displayed in front of his eyes. A prosperous city. Passers by in a hurry. In the office, telephone rings, printers and keyboards are mixed together. His desk and papers piled up like a mountain. As he scrutinized the report, he skillfully held the phone between his cheek and shoulder, and glanced at the changing curves on the computer screen from time to time. His heart is full of numbers, curves and profits. He's going to build a castle, too. He has been busy all his life. His investment is the only bridge to the castle; his profits and his money are his guards. The strongest and most beautiful castle in his mind seemed close at hand. They are all talented architects. Because the heart is full of dreams, there is a grand blueprint; because of the persistence of dreams, there is a tower; because of hard work, there is a great cause. The two castles share the same fate. Once the waves hit, everything will disappear. But there is a big difference between the two architects. The little boy clearly knew the end result of the castle, but he did not understand the inevitable result of the castle. Even if he did, he was not willing to believe and accept it. When the night falls and the waves get closer, the smart boy will applaud for his castle. He cheered and leaped, no sorrow, no fear, no regret. Because he knew that all this was inevitable, and he was not surprised at all. A row of big waves hit, his masterpiece was taken back to the sea, he laughed. Picking up his tools, he took his mother's hand and went home. Maybe he will come again tomorrow. But he can never be as magnanimous, open-minded and wise as a child. When the tide of life washes his castle, he feels fear; when the waves of years erode his castle, he feels sad; when the reincarnation of life wants to take back his masterpiece, he feels panic. The wheel of life is still rolling forward. There is no need to explain to him. Everyone knows who the castle belongs to. 茫茫天地間痛苦的我,無奈的你,滾滾紅塵中你活我活都活的不容易,人生就像一盤沒有結果的棋,總要拿著良心和虛偽對弈,溫柔的風馳電掣,無聲的停泊,這是一個多麼不平凡的場景,就像我們來來往往的生活,第一次回眸,第一次微笑,第一次牽手,我在意所有的第一次,並在漫長的人生旅途中細心地珍藏, 那些被不斷打開,又不斷摺疊起來的往事,約略現出記憶的摺痕,昏黃的歲月之沙把那來路瀰漫,卻並不會被時光所傷,該怎樣向你表白,你才肯相信我對你的真心,在這個複雜的世界讓我們不得不煉就火眼金睛,防範和抵禦,有時面對你提出的一些問題,我根本無法回答,面對你急迫的追問,我緊閉雙唇,為什麼愛情花將開未開,為什麼愛情蝶將落未落,那其中的因由,又有誰能說清,愛情是什麼,我相信沒有人能把所有人心中的感受說的完全清楚,世界上沒完全相同的樹葉,也不可能有兩個完全一樣的你我,彼此令你我對待事物的看法不一樣,,季節就是季節,代謝就是代謝,生死就是生死,無須參與,不必流連,回頭看我們倆走過的路,微笑陪伴你我,淘氣的找罵聲,細稚就是細稚,想起黃昏後你我依靠的背影才知道幸福就在我們身邊,愛我的人和我愛的人,總是牽掛著我們,微風在臨近夜晚時吹響,但那並不能阻擋你我,此刻世界寂靜,了無聲息,此刻大地漆黑,一片冰涼,周圍溫暖了起來,猛然抬頭,多麼皎潔的月光,流翠瀉玉般地傾瀉大地,照在你我的身上,過去的日子,不能在走,讓我們珍惜還沒有走過的青春,微風吹來我們相互抱的更緊了些,慢慢的你睡了,我開始哭泣,我會不會失去我愛的人,我害怕,從愛上你我就擔心結局,清風吹乾了淚痕,你的散發罩信面龐,我又抬頭看行雲,微微的苦笑了一聲,哎,是我的總是我的,不是我的想留也留不住,我輕輕的吻了你有臉龐,多麼希望這一刻會停留,我愛你永遠不會放棄,無論生死,除非你真的遠離我,拋棄我,想讓我一個人孤單的哭泣,我愛你你愛我嗎?許多人生都是這樣走過,請珍惜還未走過青春,愛你珍愛你的人,我愛你永遠。The vast world of pain between me, helpless you, rolling in the world of mortals, you live I live is not easy, life is like a game of chess without results, always with conscience and hypocrisy, gentle wind and lightning, silent parking, this is how extraordinary a scene, like our life, the first look back, the first smile, the first hand, I care All the first time, and in the long journey of life carefully treasure, Those past events that are constantly opened and folded up show the creases of memory.
