由部长们的失踪想到一首儿歌一本书

两则新闻：A，2023年6月25日之后，外交部长秦刚长时间未公开露面，缺席多个重要外交活动，引发外界猜测……7月25日，第十四届全国人大常委会提前召开第四次会议，决定免去秦刚兼任的外交部长职务……但秦刚真人，至今未露面，下落不明？ B，自2023年8月在北京举行的中非和平安全论坛上发表演说后，国防部长李尚福没有再公开露面……至今下落不明。

想起下面这首儿歌，来，一起读一下吧：

   十个小小战士吃饭去；一个呛死剩九个。

   九个小小战士睡过头；一个不醒剩八个。

   八个小小战士游德汶；一个留住剩七个。

   七个小小战士砍树枝；一个砍死剩六个。

   六个小小战士玩蜂箱；螫死一个剩五个。

   五个小小战士打官司；一进法院剩四个。

   四个小小战士出海去；熏青鱼吞剩三个。

   三个小小战士上动物园；大熊抓去剩两个。

   两个小小战士晒太阳；晒焦一个剩一个。

   一个小小战士太孤单；吊死了自己，一个都不留。

 

好玩吧？但，实在笑不出啊，反倒觉得毛骨悚然。

这儿歌出自推理小说《无人生还》（And Then There Were None/そして誰もいなくなった），这部阿加莎·克里斯蒂生涯中最著名的作品之一，据说1939年出版后，全球销量超过一亿册，电影电视剧也有很多部。关于此书书名，初版时为《十个小黑人》（Ten Little Niggers），后改名《十个小印第安人》（Ten Little Indians），最终因政治正确因素改为现名《And Then There Were None》。

这首儿歌的英语原版，搁下面，大家可以查阅中文维基，理解其中的一些中文翻译，（我也是从那里拷贝过来的）：

Ten little Soldier Boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little Soldier Boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little Soldier Boys travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little Soldier Boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.

Six little Soldier Boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little Soldier Boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four.

Four little Soldier Boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little Soldier Boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two little Soldier Boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one.

One little Soldier Boy left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.

       

不知道这书会不会在墙内被禁，特别是这首儿歌；待会儿放微信朋友圈试试，标题为：国庆节，哪壶不开提哪壶。
