生命大巡游

①那一年,与家人离开旧金山,经西雅图、温哥华,沿加拿大1号公路,直上落基山脉的哥伦比亚冰川。往返十几天,对生命有了大悟。这悟来自我们的路线,确切说更是来自一种鱼——鲑鱼,也就是近年来常在餐桌上出现的三文鱼。

②鲑鱼出生于阿拉斯加至落基山脉间的大片江河湖水中。它们极富灵性,一生充满诗情。它们的生命就是一个极富震撼力的悲剧过程。或许因为体魄劲健,一对雌雄鱼一次产卵即达三四千颗,大约可成鱼八百条。这些初获胜利取得原初生命的小鲑鱼们在故乡嬉戏着、成长着,长到第十个月,身长七八寸时就不再安于故乡河湖的促狭,于是一双双一对对地雌雄相携,游向横贯加拿大南北的菲莎河。

③菲莎河水深流急,上下奔突,小鲑鱼的命运稍有不测,就有没入河底或葬身人腹之灾。然而,它们痴心不改,奋力前行,一对对披荆斩棘,也要游向太平洋!可当它们游向彼岸,回望自己的兄弟姐妹时,一个八百之众的大家庭,此时也就不剩二百个成员了。它们是侥幸者,胜利者,重整旗鼓,振足膂力,从太平洋洋面一路西行,在大起伏,大跌宕中,嬉戏拼搏,直达日本海,再延至中国的东海,黄海……一去4年。

④4年的生命历程,4年的生存体验,不知是心态老化还是心智成熟,它们乡愁如缕想起家来,于是夫妻相携要回故乡了。回归前,它们在太平洋中饕餮狂食,直到腹饱肠肥满身油光之后,它们以似箭的归心,超常的膂力,劈波斩浪,逆水而上。然而毕竟关山阻隔风刀霜剑,加之沿途所遇围捕者的网罗钩钓,经年累月地回游后,能够回到故里者,往往是一个八百口家庭剩下的一两对夫妻。但它们矢志不渝,回归故里后,就要完成鱼类与家族的伟业——繁衍子孙,传宗接代。

⑤就在它们由太平洋游入菲莎河,亦即从咸水回归淡水之后,通体健劲的鲑鱼们肤色急剧变化——由灰白而深褐,而赤红。终于,满湖满河都是赤红了。这赤红流荡着,跳跃着,躁动着,狂欢着……这是生命的激荡与狂欢,是生命的呼喊与交响。随着最后的宣泄与完成,它们全部殉情而死,刹那间,上一代一条不剩地赤红着身子葬身故里,下一代以400倍的等比基数,欢歌在父母以生命赋予它们的生命中,不知这些极富灵性的鱼们是否意识到,它们其实是多么孤单多么悲哀,一代一代地,它们将永远串演着前不见父母,后不见子孙的孤绝悲剧。

⑥生命越来越像个谜。正因为它的迷离扑朔,才招来愈来愈多的追寻与拷问。其实,生命之所以为谜,关键就因为有限的生命总想寻求生命的无限,寻觅无着,于是生出多少幻想多少荒诞,多少哲思多少玄机,多少绝响多少慨叹……比照鲑鱼的生命意蕴,其实有形的是身,无形的是魂,鲑鱼们并未因为它们短暂的身体的消亡,就魂销魄散;倒因为它们精神作为的最后行动,而使其族类传之千古,它们的魂魄精神也就永不消散。

⑦相较之下,我们人类有形的生命远远超出它们几千倍,以我们睿智的心性,神奇的劳作,我们无形的生命化成的魂魄精神,能传之久远,生命的无限岂不就在眼前!可惜,随着现代享乐的疯狂趋重,人们越来越淡漠了魂之存在,越来越看重形的膨胀,越来越轻精神而重物质,这不能不是现代人的悲哀。

⑧国人重吃会吃,更讲究补,随着物质的丰富,与国际大社会的链接,我们的餐桌上早已添了这道带洋味的菜:三文鱼。嚼着它橘红色鲜嫩的肉,再佐以豆绿色芥末的辣味时,你是否知道这种鱼的历史和生命的意蕴?

同类题1

Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important. “How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker. The banker thought for a few moments and then said,” I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important. ”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked. The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it. ”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?” “No, I don’t.” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important. ” “Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, “It’s for you.”
