一个小男孩的梦想马克吐温

1我小的时候,我们那密西西比河西岸的村镇上,玩伴们都只有一个水恒的志愿。那就是当轮船上的水手.我们也有其他种种暂时的愿望,可是那都只是暂时性的、马戏团来到的时候和走了之后,总是使我们大家都燃起火热的希望,想当小又第一次

行挺好,上帝就会让我们当海盗。这些愿望,一个一个地都先后幻灭了;可是想当轮船上的水手这种志愿却始终保持下来了。

2一艘简陋而外表华丽的定班轮船从圣路易斯开上来,另一艘从奇阿库克往下游开,每天都要来到这里一次。在这些大事出现之前;这一天使人充满了期望,显得光辉灿烂;这些大事过了之后,时光就变得死气沉沉,空空洞洞了.不仅孩子们有这种感觉,整个村镇都是一样、如今事隔多年,我仍旧能在C中描绘往日的情景,完全像当时那样:夏天早晨,白色的村镇在阳光中打响街上是空荡荡的,几乎一个人都没有;水街的杂货铺前面坐着一两个店员,他们把那木条椅面的椅子翘起来靠在墙上,下巴顶在胸前,帽子垂下这着脸;打着瞌睡——他们身边有许多削木瓦的碎片,这就说明是什么事情把他们累坏了;一只母猪和一窝猪仔在人行道上闲荡着,痛痛快快地啃着西瓜皮和瓜子;两三个孤零零的小货物堆在“码头”上闲置着;石头铺的起卸码头的坡上有一堆“垫木”,镇上的流浪醉汉就在这木堆近旁酣睡着Z 码头上端有两三只平底木船;可是那拍打着这些船的小浪的柔和声响,却没有人倾听;伟大的密西西比河,壮丽、辉煌的密西西比河;让它那一荚里宽的洪流滚滚奔腾下去,在阳光中放出闪光;河对岸的远处是茂密的森林Z 村镇上游的“地角”和下游的“地角”截断了河上景色的视线。把它变成了一片海面,而且这海面还是风光明媚、沉寂而幽静的。随后有一股黑烟在远处的一个“地角”上空升腾起来;立刻就有一个以眼睛特别快、嗓子特别响出名的黑人运货马车夫高声喊道:“火——轮——船——来了!”于是情况就变了!镇上那个醉汉翻身起来,那几个店员也醒了;随后就是运货马车的一阵狂暴的响声,每厂人家和每个铺子里都涌出一股人流,转瞬之间,这个死气沉沉的村镇就热闹起来了、活动起来了。

3 运货马车和大车,男子汉和孩子,都从四面A方连忙赶到一个大家聚集的中0地点——码头上去、大家在那里集合之后,就把眼睛盯住那条开来的船,好像是注视他们第一次都v的一个稀奇东西一般。那条船也的确是相当美观。它又长又尖,收拾得又整洁、又漂亮。船上有两个高高的烟囱;顶上有些别致的花样——两个烟囱之间挂着一个金色的东西;还有一间别致的驾驶室;全是玻璃的,外表挺好看,其实并不值钱;驾凌后面的上层甲板之上;明轮罩也华丽非凡,那上面绘着图画,还在船名之上绘了一些金色的光带;锅炉甲板、顶层甲板和上层甲板周围都配置着干净的白栏杆;船头旗杆上神奇十足地飘着一面旗子;上炉的门是开着的;里面的火放射出熊熊的光来;上面的两层甲板黑压压地挤满了乘客;船长站在大钟旁边,神态镇静,挺有气派,他是大家羡慕的人物;大股大股的极黑的浓烟从烟囱里滚滚升腾起来——这是快到村镇之前,在火炉里添了一点多脂,特意造成的一种所费无几的威严气派;全体水手聚集在船头甲板上;宽阔的踏板在船头的舱门上面伸出船边很远,有一个令人羡慕的水手神气十足地站在它的尽头,手里拿着一卷绳子;憋住的蒸汽从活嘴里迸出尖叫的声音;船长举起手来。一口钟发出响声,机轮就停住了;然后机轮又向后转动,搅得河水冒出许多泡沫,于是轮船就不动了。接着是乱得一团糟,大家争先恐后,有的抢着上船,有的抢着上岸,有的要上货,有的要卸货,都在这同一时刻里抢着干。大副们为了催大家赶快,拼命地嚷。拼命地骂,那一阵叫骂声真是凶得要命!十分钟之后,轮船又开走了,船头旗杆上再也没有旗子;烟囱里再也不冒黑烟了。再过10分钟,这个小镇上又是死气沉沉;镇上那个醉汉又回到那堆垫木旁边去睡着了。

4 我父亲是个治安法官,我以为他对一切的人都操着生杀之权,无论谁得罪了他;他都可以处以绞刑。一般来说,这么大的威风原是足以使我满意的;然而想到轮船上当水手的愿望却是仍旧不断地闯进我脑子里来、起初我想当一个船舱里的茶房,为的是能够系着白色的腰围出来;在船边上抖一抖餐桌布,好让我所有的老玩伴们看得见后来我又想到,还不如做那个手里拿着一卷绳子、站在踏板尽头的十手,因为他是特别惹人注目的。但是这些念头都只是白日梦而已——要想把它们当成真有可能的事情来作打算,那却未免太高不可攀了、过了不久,我们那些孩子当中有一个跑掉了。他走了很久还没有消息。后来他终于以一艘轮船上的见习机区或是“锤手”的身份突然出现\这件事情全盘推翻了我所受的主日学校的一切的教训、那孩子向来是个有名的俗气鬼,而我却恰恰相反;结果他居然高升到这种大出风头的地位,而我却无声无息,处境很惨.这家伙出头之后,气量一点也不大。他那艘轮船停靠在我们镇上的时候,他老是要故意找个锈了的铁村来擦,而且他老是坐在靠岸的这边栏杆上面干;叫我们大家都能看得见他,又羡慕、又讨厌他、每逢他那艘轮船停得久一些的时候。他就一定回家来,穿着那满身油泥、黑得要命的衣服,到镇上各处出风头,叫每个人都不能不想起他是个轮船上的水手;他谈起话来;还爱用轮船上各种各样的术语,好像他是说惯了那一套,忘记别人听不懂似的。他竞至谈到一匹马也说什么“左舷”,说得那么若无其事、自自然然;简直使人恨之八骨、他常常谈到“圣路易斯”;仿佛他是那儿的老住户似的;还信。提起一些过去的事情,说他“顺着四马路分听,“路过场主饭店”呀;或者说有一次着了上,他在大密苏里号轮上亲手按了天上机呀;然后他接着胡扯一阵,说是有多少个像我们这个镇那么大的村镇在那一天烧毁了。我们那些孩子当中有两三个早就受着大家的重视;因为他们曾经到圣路易斯去过一次,对于那里的新奇事务稍微知道一个大概,可是现在他们的光荣时代已成过去了。他们从此自知没趣,再也不说话了,而且每逢这个毫不留情的机匠“惠子”走过来的时候,他们就知道赶快躲开。这家伙还有钱,头上抹发油。还有一只不中用的银壳表和一根看似#民好的黄铜表链子。他系着一根皮腰带;而不用背带。假如有一个年轻小伙子一方面被人真C地羡慕;同时又遭人恨,那就是这个家伙、姑娘们没有一个能够抵挡他那股魔力。他Zot上所有的小伙子都“赛过”了、后来他那条船终于爆炸了,这个消息在我们当中就散布了一种幸灾乐祸的情绪,那是我们有好几个月不曾感觉过的、但是下一个星期他居然活着回家了,并且还出了名,浑身带伤、绑着绷带在礼拜堂出现,成了个出风头的英雄;

5 这个家伙的走运只能产生一种结果,而且这种结果很快就出现了、孩子们一个又一个都想方设法到河上去。牧师的儿子也成了机匠、医生和邮政局的儿子都成了“排泥手”Z 批发酒店老板的儿子成了一条船上酒。巴间的掌柜;最大的商人的四个儿子和县里的法官的两个儿子都成了领航员。领航员是所有职位中最神气的一种、即便在当时那种工资微薄的年代,领航员的薪金也是特别高的——每月从150元到250元,还不花伙食钱。他两个月的薪金就够一个牧师一年的薪金了、这时候我们当中有些人都郁郁不乐的。我们不能到河上去干活——至少是我们的父母不让我们去。于是我不久就跑掉了、我说非到我当了领航员、能够得意荣归的时候,永远也不回家。可是不知怎么的,我却办不到。圣路易斯那个很长的码头上有许多船像沙丁鱼似挤在一起停靠着,我胆怯地走到几条船上去,低声下气地探寻船上的领航员,可是大副和职员们都对我摆出爱理不理的样子,几句话就把我打发了。我对他们这种态度,暂时只好极力容忍;可是我对将来却做着聊以自慰的白日梦,满希望日后自己成为一个伟大的、受人尊敬的领航员,能有许多的钱;可以把这些大副和职员杀掉几个,出钱偿命了事。

因特网不能做什么?

1 在1858年第一根横穿大西洋的通讯电缆铺设成功时,维多利亚时代的积极分子们曾欢呼说:“像电报这种为世界各国交流思想的工具诞生之后;那些根深蒂固的偏见与敌意不可能再长时间存在了。”甚至在今天,人们仍以同样的口吻谈论着各种新技术.生物工程被说成是解决温饱问题的妙方。人类基因组的排序据说可以彻底根治癌症和其他疾病.然而,人们把最盲目乐观的想法倾注在了因特网上。网络专家们的整个行业曾用令人驰神往的美妙话语(并因此而获得了不菲的收入)称,因特网可以防止战争、减少污染;还能克服种种形式的不平等。然而,尽管因特网出现的时间不长,依旧足以激起理想主义的灵感,但它存在的时间也已长得足以判断预言家的预言正确与否了。

2所有的断言中最为美妙的便是J麻省理J学院的一些专家们所宣称的:因特网是一种潜在的和平力量。一位权威尼十拉斯内格罗蓬特说,正是由于因特网的存在,来来的孩子们“将不知道民族主义为何物”。他的同事迈克尔德托索斯曾写道,数字化通信将带来“计算机辅助下的和平”,它“有助于避免未来种族仇恨的爆发和国家分裂的发生”。他的理念是改进了的通信手段将减少误解;避免冲突。

3可惜啊!这种断言并不比有关其他新技术可能促进和平的说法新鲜到哪里去。在20世纪初,人们认为飞机的发明将有助于结束战争,因为它可以增进国际间的交往,使陆军变得陈旧过时(虽然这种说法不那么可信)——因为陆军容易受到来自空中的打击。在第一次世界大战的现实使这些想法都成为泡影之后,人们又把希望寄托在收音机上。“国与国之间将和平相见;”这是英国BBC电台全球广播使用的一句很好的标语。可悲的是,卢旺达电台并不认为收音机生来是一种一劳永逸的和平力量。

4 人们所犯的错误就在于他们认为战争的爆发是由于不同种族间缺乏充分的理解而引起的。其实;即使真的如此;因特网也同样可用于鼓动冲突、充满憎恨的演说和偏狭的见解在阴暗的角落里滋生蔓延,政府却感到难以于预、不可否认,尽管因特网可以增进交流,它却无法消除战争。但是因特网可以减少能源和消耗吗?能源与气候问题解答中心(CECS)——华盛顿的一个智囊团,主利又据1997和1998两年能源消耗的数字,提出了这样一种说法.该中心大胆地指出,虽然美国经济在这两年中以9%的速度增长;但它的能源需求却基本保持不变,原因就在于因特网的广泛应用,因为国特网片将纸张和光盘转化成电子信号,并且可以用光纤电缆取代卡车”、难怪报纸有一条充满激情的大字标题恳求人们:“网上购物,巴——拯救地球。”令人悲哀的是拯救地球比这要难得多。当然;与驾车去商场购物相比,在家中网上购物可以减少许多污染。网上订购和送货上门意味着如果物流部门安排得当,那么用卡车运一趟便能代替多个家庭分别开车购物了。在网上读报纸、杂志和其他文献要比实际印刷、运输它们的效率高。但只有当利用网络进行活动能真正取代现实世界中的行为时,才能真正地节约能源。如果人们既在网上购物又去逛真实的商店,那么结果便是能源消耗的全面增长、由于有了因特网,欧洲人现在可以很容易上网订购一些在欧洲尚买不到的书,并花大价钱把它们从美国空运过来、如果网上读文章可以取代而不是增加大量无聊的印刷品,那它才是更有效的。

此外,因为越来越多的办公室和家庭上网,数以百万的个人电脑、打印机、服务器和其他设备消耗了大量的能源。家用电脑正在成为日常生活结构中的一部分,而且其中越来越多的电脑始终处于开机状态、一次颇具争议的估算指出:在美国,足有8%的耗电量是由联网计算机所消耗的。建设好的一些规模宏大的划务器场区”——摆满计算机及其辅助冷却设备的库房——一已经导致电力网络的超负荷运转,这种状况已经引起了硅谷地区的用电紧张。

8如何认识因特网能减少不平等现象的说法呢?美国商业部的一项研究表明,年收入在75万美元以上的家庭与最贫困的家庭相比,前者上网率是后者的周倍还多、比尔克林顿吃惊于贫富之间的“数字鸿沟”;辩称大家都能上网将帮助缩小收入的差距。

9 但是,由于使用因特网的费用不断下降(提供免费上网的服务已基本普及,现在购买一台个人电脑比买一台录像机或一台大的电视机贵不了多少);贫富之间数字鸿沟的真正原因将逐渐凸现。穷人不用因特网并不是因为他们买不起,问题是他们缺
