荒漠一夜

付浩勇

    天蒙蒙亮的时候,他已在大漠的荒滩里跋涉了整整一夜。

    他蠕动着苦涩僵硬的舌头,舔了舔嘴唇上叠透的干血泡,面对一望无际的沙梁,不由回望一眼身后伴随的追敌——晨雾里闪着两点绿光的饥饿的野狼,心里又掠过一阵恐惧和绝望。

    他是昨天下晌为了拍摄到沙漠上的绿洲,他离开了驼队,深入到荒滩深处。当黄昏降临的时候,沙梁上传来一声凄凉血性的狼嚎声,他回首寻望,蓦然发现了暮色里浮动着两点闪亮的寒光,倏地,疲惫夹带饥饿一同向他袭来……

    整整一夜,他别无选择,慌惶地在大漠里奋力向前进。途中,他为补充体力,备带的干粮吃完了,水壶里面水喝干了,肩上压着沉沉的摄影机和行囊背包。但他不忍心将拍到的海市蜃楼般的别致风景一掷了之,那可是他艺术生命的价值所在。然而,野狼显然盯上他了,将他视成大漠里惟一的补充营养的佳肴,他只好拼力地在沙漠里走着。他心里明白,在荒漠里,缺水是最大的灾难,野狼同他较量的是毅力和意志,自己若是稍有松懈,在沙梁上倒下,野狼就会冲上前,挥舞双爪,将他撕成碎条,充饥解渴,而他拍摄的荒漠上的别致风景将化为乌有。

    他回望野狼时,明显发现野狼的浑身抽搐,脊梁的骨节更加突起,干瘪的肚皮贴在沙土上。喘气声越来越粗重,他们之间的距离越拉越长……渐渐地,野狼举步维艰,停下来了。他心里不由掠过一阵狂喜,野狼终于撵不上自己了。少顷,又见到野狼嚎叫一声,转头调向,灰溜溜地往回逃窜,他不由挺直身躯,英雄般地傲立在沙梁上,似乎嘲笑野狼意志的崩溃瓦解。

    当野狼的背影逃遁远去,他又一下子瘫倒在沙梁上,他该往哪里走?何方才能寻到驼铃队?哪里才有水源?严重的缺水,他已鼻孔出血,七窍冒烟,四肢乏力。忽而,他转念回想,猝然想到,野狼的转向莫非预告着前方是一条通向大漠腹地的死亡之路,于是,他意识到只有重新振作,尾随野狼,或许才有可能离开大漠,找到驼队,使别致风景焕发艺术之光。

    他复而挺起疲惫的身躯,沿着野狼逃遁的方向赶去。为了避免同野狼的孤注一掷,他既不能尾随太近,那样会惊扰它;当然又不能太远,如果稍有松懈,就会迷失跋涉的方向。

    芨芨草是大漠里跋涉者的救命圣草,沙梁坎下,野狼过处,芨芨草已被啃尽;他随踪而来,只好刨出草茎,细嚼取湿。野狼困乏了,停下来回头对峙地盯着他;他也停靠下身,机警地准备应付对野狼的反扑。有多少回,狼跑他奔,狼歇他停。有几阵子,狼的双腿摇摆踉跄,迷迷茫茫地迈步,他就象虚脱一般神情恍惚,晕晕蒙蒙地跟着……

    狼撵人整整一夜,人追狼足足一天,又是日头西斜的时分,终于,沙梁坎下出现了一片罕见的沙洲——那是内陆河被沙漠侵袭仅有的一汪清水。

    野狼仿佛忘却了疲惫,奋着四蹄奔过去。

    他喜出望外,狠狠地咬了一下血唇,忽而,一阵熟悉的驼铃声响过,昨天同行的地质勘探队出现在前方。他顿感泪水漾出眼眶,朦胧中,他看见两名地质队员正端枪向着吸水的野狼瞄准,他声嘶力竭的喊:别打它,没有它,我走不出荒漠,是它救了我的命……

    声落枪响,野狼猝然倒在甘泉一般的水边,枯瘦的四肢也懒得一动。

    他一个踉跄,向前一个滚翻,昏了过去。

    There are more bicycles than residents in the Netherlands,and in cities

like Amsterdam and The Hague up to 70% of all journeys are made by bike.

    The BBC's reporter,Anna Holligan,examines what made everyone get back in the saddle(车座).

    Before World WarⅡ,journeys in the Netherlands were mainly made by bike, but in the 1950s and 1960s,as car ownership increased quickly,this changed.As in many countries in Europe, roads became increasingly crowded.

    The jump in car number caused a huge rise in the number of deaths on the roads.In 1971 more than 3,000 people were killed by motor vehicles,and 450 of them were children.In response a social movement demanding safer cycling conditions for children was formed.Called Stop de Kindermoord,it took its name from the headline of an article written by journalist Vic Langenhoff whose own child had been killed in a road accident.

    The Dutch love of the motor vehicle was also shaken by the Middle East oil crisis of 1973,when oil-producing countries topped export to the US and Western Europe.

    These twin pressures helped to persuade the Dutch government to invest in improving cycling infrastructure(基础设施)and the Dutch urban planners started to change from the road-building policies designed mainly for cars.

    To make cycling safer and more inviting,the Dutch have built a vast network of cycle paths.These are clearly marked,have smooth surfaces,separate signs and lights for those on two wheels,and are wide enough to allow cycling side by side and overtaking.

    Even before they can walk,Dutch children live in a world of cycling.As babies they travel in special seats on bikes.As the children grow up they ride their own bikes.And,as the Dutch are not allowed to drive until 18,cycling offers teenagers an alternative form of freedom.

    The state also plays a part in teaching,with cycling lessons a compulsory(必修的)part in Dutch schools.All schools have places to park bikes and at some schools 90% of pupils cycle to class.
