精裝的愛

大約兩個月未光顧理發(fā)店，腦后的頭發(fā)便掃過了衣領(lǐng)。我“蓄留”長發(fā)絕對不是想去趕時髦。自從業(yè)余自修法文以來，我確實(shí)沒有閑暇和心思修整邊幅。

但是，愛美之心，人皆有之。何況我是一個正當(dāng)青春年華的小伙子。今天我下狠心擠了半天時間，到公園來觀賞菊展，還打算回去時順便去理理發(fā)。

步出菊展會，渾身上下似乎還散發(fā)著醉人的馨香，心曠神怡，竟想覓一處幽靜之處小憩，回味一番這美的享受。于是，我沿著卵石鋪就的曲徑緩步而行。

綠蔭掩映的地方，一張長椅空著。剛坐下，褲管下端被長椅上一顆小釘掛了一個直角破口。我并不十分惋惜，這是我第一條，也是最后一條喇叭褲。就在我埋頭檢查破口時，卻在長椅下邊拾到一本書。

這是一本精裝書。封面上有一排赫然醒目的燙金法文，是有關(guān)教育的論著。不知是誰不小心丟失的。逛公園都手不釋卷，難得！光這種精神就使我感到臉紅，肅然起敬。盡管我對教育學(xué)沒有一點(diǎn)知識，但因?qū)W了點(diǎn)法文，便忍不住隨手翻閱，想檢驗(yàn)一下自己的學(xué)習(xí)成果。

有腳步聲。一對男女青年朝我這兒走來。像是在尋找什么東西。

“請問，您在這兒見過一本書嗎？”男青年盯了一眼攤在我腿上的書，很有禮貌地問。

我微笑地打量著他：五官端正，皮膚白皙，樸實(shí)的學(xué)生頭，鼻梁上架了一副可以把任何人都襯托得幾分斯文的玳瑁眼鏡，一套洗得稍稍泛白的中山裝，緊系著風(fēng)紀(jì)扣。

“是本外文書嗎？”我和藹地問。

“對！對！是本精裝的德文書。”男青年身邊那位滿臉稚氣的姑娘搶著回答，還飛快地把目光在我和她戀人身上輪番掃瞄。顯然，她在比較中更為自己有這么一位博學(xué)的朋友感到榮耀。“德文書？！”我驚愕不已，疑心是否聽錯。“對，是德文書。”男青年神情十分鎮(zhèn)定，還補(bǔ)充說：“是關(guān)于文學(xué)方面的，不知你對外文…… ”他的目光透過平光鏡片，已有幾分鄙夷不屑了。

“是這本書嗎？”我猛地合上攤在腿上的書，遞到男青年面前。

“就是，就是這本書！”又是那位稚氣的姑娘，她歡欣得幾乎要雀躍起來。

“謝謝……”男青年伸出了手。

我的手反倒縮回了：

“你弄錯了，這是一本法文書，內(nèi)容是關(guān)于教育學(xué)的。你，拿去吧！”

幾分惶恐在男青年臉上掠過，他迅速地從我手上抓過精裝書，對正在十分驚訝和納悶的姑娘說：

“我們走……跟這種人有什么糾纏頭……”

“他，他說是法文……”姑娘想弄明白，但畢竟還是挪動了腳步。

“哼，他懂什么外文，你沒見他那副打扮，長頭發(fā)，喇叭褲，看了就讓人惡心！”男青年拽著姑娘的胳膊，邊說邊走。

姑娘不住地點(diǎn)著頭。

望著他們漸漸遠(yuǎn)去的身影，我突然產(chǎn)生了一種深深的憐憫。

Books and Appearance

I found half of the day to visit a flower show and had my long hair cut. Coming out of the show, I walked along until I came to a park bench. I sat down to allow myself some leisure for the first time since I started learning French two months before.

Then a book lying in the grass nearby caught my eye. I picked it up. It was a French book in excellent binding①. As I turned the pages quickly, a young couple came up to ask if I had seen a book in German. Wrongly understanding my expression on my face, the young man, who seemed well-educated, added that it was a book in literature.

I held out the book and explained it was a French book on education. The man was so troubled by what I said that he took it away from my hand in a hurry.

As they turned to go away, I heard the man speaking: “What do you expect? A guy② with long hair and in bell-bottom trousers③ can＇t tell German from French.”

The girl nodded in agreement, but I was wondering if she would ever find out what was going on. (197 words)
