读过法布尔的《蝉》,才知道这种小生灵要经过四年暗无天日的地下生活,不断生长,不断挖掘, 然后才能慢慢地爬上树枝,蜕变。四年的辛劳换来一个月的自由欢唱! 非洲戈壁沙滩上的依米花,需要五年的时间才能完成根茎的生长,然后,一点点积蓄养分和力量,第六年的春天,它才能吐露芬芳,绽放一朵小小的四色花,而花期只有两天。六年的努力换来两天的辉煌! After reading Fabre’s “The Skull,” I learned that this little creature has to go through a dark underground life for four years, grow and continue to dig, and then slowly climb up and change. Four years of hard work in exchange for a month of free sing! It takes five years to complete the growth of rhizomes on the Gobi desert beach in Africa. Then, after a little accumulation of nutrients and strength, it will be able to confide in the spring of the sixth year. Fragrant, bloom a small four-colored flowers, and flowering only two days. Six years of hard work in exchange for two days of glory!
