一年的时间,要闹明白英国的文化,是“不可能的任务”。千余字的短文,要说明已经闹明白的点滴,也不可能。那就说说自已的感觉,算是这个专栏的结语吧。人人可以自由表达思想和“感情”。他们这么说。从格林威治沿泰晤士河而下的时候,天突然下起雨来了。虽然突然,但不意外。好天突然下雨是英国天气语境中的正常。天下着雨,就只好呆在船舱里,眼盯着舱外出神。河两岸的房子都不高,都在五六层的样子,河面也还算宽,因此视野也还开阔。但与我从中文文学读物上得到的印象差得太远了。就突然想起庄子的一则寓言。黄河发大水时,河伯沿河而下,边行边叹:“广阔啊,广阔啊”。突然他羞愧起来——他来到了黄河入海口。他终于知道什么是广阔了。又想起,有一天一位英国友人载我去看一个湖。他说那个湖很大。到了之后,我脱口而出:“这大吗?”我这样说是 One year’s time to understand the British culture is “impossible mission”.

He finally knows what is vast. Again, one day a British friend carried me to see a lake. He said that the lake is great. After that, I blurted out: “Is this big?” I say so
