阅读是有重量的精神运动

铁凝

    ①如今,网络阅读成为人们生活重要的组成部分。人类的阅读行为也随之发生了革命性的变化:眼睛在网上快速、便捷的“暴走”,逐渐替代以往细嚼慢咽似的传统阅读。但我觉得,人在获得大面积爆炸性信息的同时,也会有某种难言的失重感。之所以这样说,是因为就我个人的经验而言,阅读其实是一种有重量的精神运动

    ②上世纪70年代初,我还是一个少年,偷偷读到一本书,是法国作家罗曼•罗兰的《约翰•克利斯朵夫》。记得扉页的题记是这样两句话:“真正的光明决不是永没有黑暗的时间,只是永不被黑暗所淹没罢了;真正的英雄决不是永没有卑下的情操,只是永不被卑下的情操所屈服罢了。”这两句话使我深深感动,让我生出想要为这个世界做点什么的冲动。我初次领略到阅读的重量,它给了我身心的沉稳和力气。

    ③我的一位亲人,在同样的时代背景下,在从城市下放到乡村劳动之余,倚靠在田野的草垛上通读了《资本论》和《列宁全集》。问他当时为什么读这些书,他只说是因为喜欢。

    ④今天想来,类似的阅读实在是一种无功利心的自发性之举,因其自发性,所以也没有预设的阅读期待,那不期而至的阅读收获便格外宝贵和难忘。难忘的还有一种沉入心底的重量,这重量打击你,既甜蜜又酣畅。

    ⑤阅读的重量有时在于它的“重”,有时却在于它的“轻”。这“轻”,不是轻浮,而是一种无用之用,是阅读心境的解放。

    ⑥今天,我们的阅读与过去相比已经有了诸多变化。市场上卖得好的书往往是更靠近生活的实用的书:养生、美容、商战、股票、英语……书海已经“茫茫”。各取所需的阅读看上去已不再承载精神的重负,而是直奔主题,要的是立竿见影。

    ⑦阅读的功用是显而易见的。但是,我更想强调的是,“无用”的阅读,更多的是缓慢、绵密、恒久的渗透。这样的阅读不是生存甚至生计所必需的,但它让我们看到了生活的美好、温暖以及自身的价值。它的“无用”本身便是更大的作用。这何尝不是一种更高的阅读境界呢?这种自然存在的阅读状态,可或许更能体现人生的精神价值吧。

    "Good evening, everyone. As we celebrate International Dog Day, I wanted to focus on a specific type of dog that is perhaps the most misunderstood breed in the world—the pit bull. It makes me unhappy that public opinion about pit bulls is that they are extremely dangerous. If a pit bull is that meaning, that's only as a result of being taught to fight other dogs to the death in dogfights. The truth is that a pit bull is very faithful and loving.

    "A pit bull is a cross between a terrier and a bulldog. That's why their coloring can be different from one dog to the next. Pit bulls all have short fur. They came over to the U.S. from Britain with their immigrant farming families. Pit bulls guarded the cows, sheep and family from thieves. They were beloved members of the family because they were so faithful and loving. They were also very strong, especially their jaws.

    "Unfortunately, bad men turned a good thing into a bad thing. Since these dogs will do anything to please their masters, it was easy for these men to teach the dogs to be killers. Dogs fought other dogs in fenced "pits". Dog fighting became illegal(非法的) in the U.S. in 1875, but it still goes on. Today, pit bulls continue to be farm dogs, but they are also trained as police dogs, search dogs and of course they make great pets!

    "I have a pit bull myself. Piper is the friendliest dog you'll ever meet. He sleeps next to me at night. Even though he is an adult dog now, he still acts like a puppy sometimes. He would never bite me or anyone else! With proper and loving training, pit bulls are the best pets ever!"
