坐卧行吟

　　翻过去的笔记本，看到高二时读《Gone with the Wind》抄下的句子，想起那段日子来。我还记得书是在“优惠书店”买的，绿色封皮的盗版“原版书”，厚厚的分上下两册，买回来翻开第一页我就蒙了，满满一面单词好像只认识am/is/are，冷静下来再看一遍，还好，其实一半的单词还是认识的，呵呵。看完上册后，我发现只懂一半单词完全足够了，同时让我吃惊的还有原来试卷之外的英文可以那么美丽。
　　《Gone with the Wind》的中文名字被译成《乱世佳人》或《飘》，但我在心里一直把它译成“随风而逝”，字面的意思本来就很优美。
　　看着高中时的字迹，真让人想起那时沉静的心。当时摘抄下来的一些句子，今天再看，才感到稍微懂得了一些，真希望现在的我能找回那份翻动书页的简单干净的心情，永不停止学习。
　　嗯哼，明天又是新的一天，欧不？

I loved something I made up, something just as dead as Melly is. I made a pretty suit of clothes and fell in love with it. And when Ashley came riding along, so handsome, so different, I put that suit on him and made him wear it whether it fitted him or not. And I wouldn't see what he really was. I kept on loving the pretty clothes – and not him at all. – Scarlett
　
Scarlett, I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken – and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken place as long as I lived. – Rhett Butler
