    What Does the Length of Your Fingers Say About You? Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter?

    Your finger length might be a clue. Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Facebook, but I have to admit that it is exactly correct for me. Here's how it works.

    Look at your three middle fingers of your hand. Is your index finger longer than your ring finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate description of your personality.

Longer ring finger: The Sweet Talker

    If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, research shows that you're likely a charming type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any situation. Others often find this personality type irresistible and will go to great lengths to help you. You're more likely to take risks, and you're good at problem-solving. People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.

Longer index finger: The (Over) Confident One

    If your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are you are full of confidence—possibly even to the point of being over-confident and proud. You are not necessarily introverted (内向的), but you do enjoy time to yourself, especially when you're trying to complete a project. You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you're always wishing for more.

Index and ring finger are of the same length: The Peacemaker

    If your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length, you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving, you also have a hot-tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you're pushed too far. You will try your hardest to avoid a fight.

    How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my case, but I'm not going to tell you which one it was!

黑夜里移动

陈思宏

    漆黑的夜里,找光。

    柏林有一家餐厅,名为Nocti Vagus,此为拉丁文,Nocti为“黑夜”,Vagus为“移动”,意即“黑夜里移动”。

    这是一家没有光的餐厅。

    春夜微寒,我和T走进这家餐厅,室内明亮温暖,与一般餐厅无异。服务生马上过来招呼,帮我们挂外套,问好,闲聊。所有的服务生都是盲人。我们坐在等候区看菜单,招呼我们的服务生是个年轻的女孩,她的脸一直朝向我们,笑容和煦。她向我们推介海鲜,说自己是个爱吃鱼的人。前菜、主菜、点心点妥,餐后还有咖啡跟甜点,服务生接着解说待会儿入座时应该注意的事项。

    首先,我们必须把身上所有的光源全部关掉,用餐时严禁拍照。服务生开始给我们做心理建设,等会儿进入的用餐区是彻底黑暗的,但请不要惧怕,虽然餐厅里完全黑暗,但设有特殊的感应系统,安全逃生门也很齐全,让客人可安心用餐。

    在服务生的带领下,我们和另外一组客人一起进入一个光线幽微的区域,这是一个过渡区,让我们从明亮走入幽暗,视觉慢慢习惯弱光源,准备迎接黑暗。服务生请我抓住她的手臂,跟着她走。我尾随着,连续掀开数个帘幕,终于走进了用餐区。我身体突然静止,不敢迈出下一步,因为这里头,果真,完——全——没——有——光。服务生轻声说:“跟我来,左转,来,放心,直走,您不会撞到任何东西,右转,对,就是这里,正前方就是您的椅子,请慢慢坐下。”

    我坐下,没有光,就是没有光。我把手放在面前,完全看不到我的手指。T的声音从桌子的另一头传来,声音里有些许惊慌:“你在哪里?”

    和我们一起进来的那组客人,因为其中一位女士完全无法忍受黑暗,尖叫抗拒。她的呼喊很快消失在帘幕后,应该是被服务生带向光明了。我被黑暗钉在座椅上,身体僵硬,不安开始在皮肤上逼出汗滴。服务生突然发声,我被她的声音吓了一跳,原来,她一直站在我身旁。“我来跟你解说,您的右手边是刀,左手边有叉,杯子在正前方,请您开始用手去寻找,慢慢来,饮料随后上桌。”

    我慢慢伸出手,碰触到桌、巾、刀、叉、匙、杯,还有,从对面伸过来的T的手。我们在黑暗中握了彼此一下,“相濡以手汗”,给彼此打气。

    身体稍微放松之后,我开始听到许多声音。四周其实有许多客人,我看不到任何桌椅和身影,但有许多细碎的人声从四面八方传来。我听到刀锋撞上瓷盘的声音、饮料倒入杯子的声音、笑声、聊天声……当视觉失去作用,我的听觉逐渐开启,敏感度升高。然后,我就明白,为何餐厅要叫“黑夜里移动”了。

    黑暗中,宾客坐定,但服务生上菜上酒,必须移动。他们都是视障者,黑暗对他们已属平常,把宾客们的座椅位置记熟,就可以在其中穿梭自如。这些服务生在外面的世界里,是绝对的弱势,但在这个工作场所,他们身体的弱点就变成他们的强项了。

    前菜沙拉、浓汤上桌,我在黑暗中进食,行动如树獭,生怕打翻水杯、把刀叉扫出桌面、把浓汤送进眼里。黑暗果然有其分量,肢体被黑暗黏住,一切都迟滞缓慢,咀嚼慢,说话也慢。

    看不到菜色,吃食全然只靠味觉与想象力,我知道自己的主菜是海鲜,但有个东西我嚼了很久,就是无法正确说出它的名称,连续吃了三口,我才惊呼:“这是虾啊!”视觉功能消失,必须仰赖味觉与嗅觉,这是一次全新的就餐经历。

    少了视觉,耳朵伸展成漏斗,四周各种细碎的声响都倒进听觉里。隔壁桌一对男女的对话,让餐厅里所有用餐的宾客都忽然安静下来。原来,大家的耳朵,都变成漏斗了。

    男士说:“你愿意嫁给我吗?”

    静。

    这句话像一根绳索,勒住了所有人的喉咙,话语休止,吃食暂停。

    女士没回答。

    男士继续说:“你看不到,但现在我手上,有个戒指。”

    寂静再度塞满黑暗。我的刀叉在空中悬浮,嘴巴微张,不敢动。

    “你愿意嫁给我吗?”

    依然听不到女士的回答。

    再试一次:“你愿意嫁给我吗?”

    重复三次的问句,在黑暗里回荡,求婚的男士喉咙干渴,声线分叉,问句的结尾很微弱。

    “你愿意嫁给我吗?”

    我受不了了,黑暗我可以习惯,但这种悬疑,杀人哪。

    “你……”

    女士的声音,在此时,终于划破沉默。她的声音,在黑暗里点燃了光。

    在彻底的黑暗中,她哽咽着慢慢回答:“我,一,直,在,点,头。”
