2008 年的第一場雪
下雪了。。是 2008 年的第一場。早上拿著講義去上課的時候, 地麵上已經有些打滑。滿校園的人都縮著脖子小心翼翼的走,眼睛緊盯著腳下。迎麵過來一個年輕的黑孩子和他的女友,跟著聽到悠揚的歌聲 as long as you love me so, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow… 我最喜歡的聖誕歌曲, 從黑小夥的喉嚨飄出。本來專心走路得我,忽然一下子有些想哭。 12 年前的冬天,也是校園裏的第一場雪,我從教四樓小心翼翼的回宿舍。經過四合院的時候,忽然發現我的全班同學幾乎都在那兒,堆雪人,打雪仗。我像個裹在棉花包裏的小古董,光惦記著書包裏的大字典別淋濕了,全忘記了,下雪的時候有很多平時得不到的樂趣。我還記得,班上的男生狡猾的笑著,女生放肆的叫著,雪團接二連三的落在我身上。可是我竟然就那麽穿過喧鬧的人群,就那麽繞過形態各異的雪人,就那麽走過了那場雪,走出了我的箐箐校園。一刹那,我很想跟上那黑孩子,對他說,這雪嗬,讓它下吧下吧,一直下吧,下到所有的孩子都玩夠了一切雪的遊戲,下到所有的情人都說累了愛你,下到每個人都忘記了生活的瑣碎,都學會了欣賞生活的本真。再過 12 年,也許我會對我的兒子說,這是下雪的時候,媽媽最喜歡的聖誕歌。
Let It Snow
Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne (c) 1945
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
這首深沉:I dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the one I used to know,.....
這首歡快:You better watch out, you better not cry, better not pout. I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town!
