A night in Hokkaido 夜に燈ともし かいこがまゆをつくるように 私は私の夜をつくる。 夜を紡いで部屋をつくる。 ふかい堇色の里空のもとに 一人だけのあかりをともして 卵型の小さな世界をつくる。 昼はみんなのためにある。 私はその時何もかも忘れて働くのだ。 夜にはみんなが遠い所へ退いてしまう、 すべて見えていたものが見えなくなり 我ままな私のために やさしく遠慮ぷかく暗い中に消えてしまう。 さびしい一人だけの世界のうちに 苔や蛍のひかるように私はひかる。 よい生涯を生きたいと願い 美しいものを慕う心をふかくし ひるま汚した指で しずかな数行を編む 苦しい熱にみちた昼の私を濾して 透明なしたたりにしてくれるもの 一たらしの夜の世界 自分のあかりをつけるさびしい小さな世界 おもいでと願いのためにある卵型の世界 一人で通る今日とあしたのしずかな通路。 English BURNING A LIGHT AT NIGHT As a silkworm spins its cocoon I spin my own night I reel off the night to build a room Under the deep-violet-colored starry night I burn a light just for myself and build a small egg-shaped world The daytime is there for everybody That’s when I work forgetting everything At night everyone recedes to distant places All things visible become invisible and for pampered me gently thoughtfully melt into the darkness Inside a world for myself alone I gleam just as mosses and fireflies do Wishing to live out a good life to deepen my heart’s desire to yearn for the beautiful I...
By JOHN KEATS O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, Alone and palely loitering? The sedge has withered from the lake, And no birds sing. O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, So haggard and so woe-begone? The squirrel’s granary is full, And the harvest’s done. I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever-dew, And on thy cheeks a fading rose Fast withereth too. I met a lady in the meads, Full beautiful—a faery’s child, Her hair was long, her foot was light. And her eyes were wild. I made a garland for her head, And bracelets too, and fragrant zone; She looked at me as she did love, And made sweet moan I set her on my pacing steed, And nothing else saw all day long, For sidelong would she bend, and sing A faery’s song She found me roots of relish sweet, ...
http://wemedia.ifeng.com/60053484/wemedia.shtml 链接中的文章介绍的是防止小金鱼缺氧而死的办法。这其实应该是很多养金鱼新手经常遇到的问题。大多数人的解决方案是：“再买一条，这次注意”。 就在几天前我们觉得池塘里的氧气泵太吵，就把每半天开一次的频率延长到了每隔一天才开一次。没想到，就关多了这么12个小时，意外就发生了。嫲嫲一早就把我拉到池塘边说里面的锦鲤有点不对劲。我一看，四条40厘米长的超级大锦鲤全部惨死。一条浮在水面上翻肚皮，一条在池塘边身体诡异地折成了90度，还有两条看似还好，躺在池底，却一动不动，原来早已死去，靠着肚子柔软的脂肪撑着没有翻过来。 看来下次一定要按时开氧气泵，再也不能偷懒了（这次的教训已经够惨痛的了，一个池塘里的所有鱼都几乎死光了）。
