当几头狮子顺着倾斜的过道怏怏不乐地回到笼子里,我们一伙人便离开马戏团的表演场地,走进附近一个敞开的门洞。我们在那光线暗淡的门洞里站立片刻,注目凝视一匹棕色大马在训练场兜着圈子,马的嘴里不时地发出呼噜呼噜的声响。驯马的是一位40岁上下的妇女,他们俩——棕色马和那位妇女——倒像是在一个闷热懒散的下午拉磨干活似的,既单调乏味,又别无他法。天气炎热,我们这伙喜欢说三道四的人,为能暂时躲避那似火的骄阳而感到欣慰。这位妇女手执一根长长的缰绳,也可以说是一根带子,用来指挥棕色马按逆时针方向作单调的运动,也用它构成了他们俩活动的半径。而 When several lions slipped down the sloping aisle back into the cage, our group left the circus venues and walked into an open doorway nearby.
