24、晚上，我常爬上山去。 此时，城市的喧嚣成了遥远的低语。在这黑夜的静谧中，我可以尽情分享蟋蟀的欢乐，感受猫头鹰的自信。可我上山是来看月出的，因为这可以让我重新得到在城市中失去的宁静与清新。 在这座山上，我已欣赏过许多次月亮升起的景象。每一次月的姿容脾性都有所不同。秋天，满月如轮，充满自信；春天，月亮灰蒙蒙，羞羞答答；冬天，银白的月亮挂在漆黑的、悄无声息的夜空中，显得那般孤寂；夏天，橘黄的月似被烟尘笼罩，俯瞰干燥的田野。每一种月亮，都像美妙的音乐，震动我的心灵，令我的灵魂平静。 观月自古有之。在远古的猎人眼里，月亮如同心跳一样准确无误。他们知道每29天，月亮都要变得明亮饱满，然后萎缩、消失，然后又

25、再复活；他们知道，月盈期间，每经一次日落，头顶的月亮就会显得更高更大；他们还知道月亏期间，月亮每晚都要迟迟升起，待到日出才落。他们竟能从经验中了解到月亮的行踪变化，真可谓心深意广。 但我们这些人却因深居室内，与月亮失去了联系。城市炫目的街灯、污浊的烟尘掩盖了夜晚的天空。虽然人类已在月亮上行走过，但月亮对于我们却更加陌生了。有几人能说得出今晚月亮会几时升起。 但无论怎样，月亮依旧牵动我们的心灵。倘若我们偶尔遇见一轮黄灿灿的满月高悬中天，谁都会禁不住停下来凝神仰望她尊贵的姿容。而月亮也向注视她的人赐予厚礼。 我了解到她的馈赠是在山间七月的一个夜晚。我的车突然熄火，将我孤身一人网在山中。太阳已经西沉

26、，我看见东边山头涌出一团橘红色的明光，好像森林起火一般，俄而山头自己也似乎迸出火焰，一会儿，大大的月亮涨红着脸，从密林中鬼魅似地钻了出来，夏天空气中弥漫的尘雾与汗气把它变得丑陋不堪。 大地灼热的呼吸扭曲了它，它变得格外暴噪，不再完美。附近农舍的狗紧张地狂吠起来，以为这团奇怪的光亮叫醒了野草中的魔鬼。 然而当月亮缓缓升起，离开山头，它变得坚定、威严；它的面孔也由红变成了橘红，又变成金色，最后是平静的明黄色。它似乎从渐暗的大地中吸取了光明，因为随着它的升起，下面的丘陵山谷愈来愈黯淡朦胧。待到皓月当空，满月如盘，闪烁着象牙般乳白的清辉，山谷便成了风景中一片片幽深的阴影。那些狗明白了那团光原是它们熟悉

27、的月亮，也安定下来，停止了吼叫。霎时间，我也觉得信心倍增，心情舒畅，近乎笑了起来。 这奇特的景观持续了一个小时。月出是缓慢的，充满神奇。观看月出，我们得回到过去那种对时间的耐心中去。观看月亮不可阻挡地升到空中就能让我们内心安宁，我们的神思能让我们看到宇宙的广漠和大地的宽阔，能让我们忘掉自己。我们觉得自身渺小，却又深感大自然的厚待。 月色下，我们看不到生活中坚硬的棱角。山坡在月光下如同笼上了柔和的轻纱，一片银白；海水在月光下碧蓝而静谧；我们在月光下也不再像白日那般精于算计，而是沉醉于自然的情感中。 这个时候，奇特的事发生了。在那个七月的夜晚，我看了一两个小时的月景后，回到车中，转动钥匙点火，发动

28、机居然响了起来，就像几个小时前熄火那般突然而神秘。我驱车沿着山路回家，肩上披着明月，心灵一片宁静。 后来我常回到山上观月，尤其是在接踵而来的事使我身心疲惫、头晕眼花时。这种境况经常发生在秋天，这时我就登上那座小山，守候猎人的月亮出现，等着那金色的圆月俯照大地，为黑夜带来光明。 一只猫头鹰自山头俯冲下来，静悄悄地如一团火焰闪过，一只蟋蟀在草丛长鸣。我想起了诗人和音乐家，想起了贝多芬的“月光奏鸣曲”和莎士比亚笔下威尼斯商人中洛伦佐的话：“月光沉睡在这岸边多么轻柔!我们要坐在这里让音乐之声潜入我们的耳内。”我不知道他们的诗篇与音乐，连同蟋蟀的歌声，是否都可算作月的声音。想到这些，我那些城市化的昏乱心

29、绪也融化在了夜的幽静之中。 恋人和诗人在夜里能找到生活更深刻的意义。其实我们都爱问一些深刻的问题我们的祖先是什么？我们的命运在哪里？我们不喜欢那些统治着白天世界的刻板的几何教科书，都愿意沉溺于永远找不到答案的谜团中。在夜里，我们都成了哲人和神秘主义者。 月出之时，当我们放慢自己的思想，让它跟随天围的脚步，一种心醉神迷的感觉就会流遍全身。我们会打开情感的窗口，会让白天被理智锁住的那部分思绪尽情奔涌。我们有越过遥远的时空，听见远古猎人的低语，再次看到很久以前的恋人与诗人眼中的世界。Lesson TwoEthics and CompetitivenessPreparing to ReadTips f
