今天晚饭前我家老大忽然心血来潮,拿起纸笔埋头写起来.不一会儿拿给我们说是给我们的圣诞礼物:一首诗.我心想,这小子会给俺来虚的了.一高兴,就说,这是我见过的最好的诗,爸爸绝对写不出来.你要是每天给我们写诗,我每首诗给你一块钱作为鼓励!娃一听,两眼放出的光让俺家的电灯黯然失色:真的吗?! 我说是啊.我心想,就算每天写,一年下来也不过365刀,小子练了写作,还是值啊.:) 娃的"诗"原样照抄如下:
The GaLapagos
The birth of these massive Islands came from the glowing hot lava
When the rivers have cooled
they become as jagged an obsidian.
Although big, it is being constantly
swallowed up by the darkness of the pacific shadow.
The trails have been lined and
in fested with volcanoes, silent but deadly.
Among them are the waves, like a chest
full of salt, weathering the rocks
showering them with drips, like a shower.
In the frigid pacific waters, many creatures bathe.
Bubbles seem to come out of nowwhere, always take you by surprise.
In the midst of these prehestoric Islands,
lies something very thriving and big.
Yet the variety of life here comes from
the same cold, dark waters that have swallowed up these Islands eons ago.
Pirates have set up deadly ambush areas
that are unknown to the outside world.
These Islands are example of a world way before our time.
完了小人还耐心解释Galapagos的地理位置(位于太平洋某处),说是"Planet Earth"DVD上有介绍.我说是吗,那这首诗是不是也是照搬DVD上面的解说啊,他说不是,是他自己的话.我心想,就算是照搬的话也行啊,你能写得出来,差不多就是你自己的话了,还是要鼓励.更何况这是一个不一样的圣诞礼物呢.
小人快八岁了,好像似懂非懂地知道些什么,晚饭后问我,是不是相信圣诞老人真的存在,是不是我们假扮圣诞老人给他礼物,我说咱明天再讨论这个问题吧,小人又不依不饶说,那你回答我,除了今天给我的那件圣诞礼物以外,你们还给我买了别的圣诞礼物吗? 呵呵,我心里说,你明天就知道了...
