【一塊水果糖】
文/天玉之
七歲的小女孩兒 放學了
一個男人站在屋頂上 就要給眾人發撒喜糖
那個年月 糖是稀罕物
她嬌小的身軀終於擠進了人群
仰起頭 屏住呼吸 ——
慌亂中的大手很粗硬 她的小手總算抓住了一塊
是硬硬的水果糖 桔子味的
回家的路 有兩裏地
她把糖緊緊攥在手心兒裏
兩個小妹妹 眼睛烏溜溜地盯著糖
興奮地等著小姐姐
將一塊糖切成三小份兒
的確,她們三個, 原本是一塊的
甜美 如此糖果
在母親體內
現在,她們都長大了,人分三地。
每一次重逢 相聚,就像是
品嚐一塊久違的老式水果糖。。。

【A Piece of Fruit Candy】
By Tian Yu Zhi
A seven-year-old girl, after school
A man standing on the roof was about to throw wedding candies
To the crowd. Sweets were rarities in those years
Her small body finally squeezed into the crowd
She raised her head, held breath ——
Those frenetic big hands were rough, her little hand finally grabbed a piece
It was a piece of hard candy, orange flavored
She held it tightly in her palm,
walking back home two miles away
Her two younger sisters stared at it, with excitement
Waiting for their little big sister
To cut it into three small portions
Indeed, they were originally one piece
As sweet as this candy
In their mother’s womb
All grown up now, live in three different places.
Each time they have a reunion, it feels as if
Tasting an old styled fruit candy...

下麵都是我小時候喜愛吃的糖 :)
記得還有一種糖,叫“老鼠屎”,上課時含一粒在嘴裏,別人也看不見,名字不好聽,其實也挺好吃的 :)
