Lesson Four ：Wisdom of Bear Wood

Michael Welzenbach

1. When I was 12 years old, my family moved to England, the

fourth major move in my short life. My father ’s government job

demanded that he go overseas every few years, so I was used to

wrenching myself away from friends.

2. We rented an 18th-century farmhouse in Berkshire. Nearby were

ancient castles and churches. Loving nature, however, I was

most delighted by the endless patchwork of farms and

woodland that surrounded our house. In the deep woods that

verged against our back fence, a network of paths led almost

everywhere, and pheasants rocketed off into the dense laurels

ahead as you walked. 3. I spent most of my time roaming the woods and fields alone,

playing Robin Hood, daydreaming, collecting bugs and bird-watching. It was heaven for a boy — but a lonely heaven.

春之祭

说真的，我从来都不明白，我们到底为什么要有一个菜园子，为什么36年前，当我第

一次在乡下买了房子以后，我会别的事情都不做，首先就挖一块菜地。现在想想买一堆胡萝

卜或者甜菜头，相对来说那么容易，而且又那么便宜，为什么还要自己去种呢？尤其是那些

块根植物，自己种的和店里买的，根本就很难分辨。这里肯定有人的本性在起作用。人就喜

欢脱离现实，毫无意义地瞎折腾。再说，我又并非特别喜欢吃蔬菜，我宁可吃些油汪汪、香

喷喷、一咬一口肉汁的东西，比如说热狗。

要说，如果能在窗外种热狗的话，那倒真的有了一种可以毫不犹豫为自己辩护的理由了。

可是，在现在这种情况下，我无法否认，每当4月来临，我就会发现自己走出家门，倚着院

子外的篱笆，望着那块倒霉的地，十分理智地下定决心再也不去种它了。然而，总有那么一

天，当我早晨醒来的时候，一股香味似乎从窗外飘进来，就好像来自地球中心的泥土的清香

味。这时，太阳似乎也突然认真起来，它投射到地毯上的光似乎比往常要更加深黄。那些鸟

开始歇斯底里地鸣叫，心里和我一样，想着那些美味可口的虫子正从那融化的土中慢慢爬出

来。

让我回去看那块地的并不只是快乐，而是矛盾和斗争。每年碰到的问题是一样的：今年

我们该使用什么方法？前几年，我们在一行行的蔬菜之间放上了36英寸宽的黑塑料薄膜。

效果极好，干旱的时候能够保湿，而且保证没有杂草。但是黑塑料薄膜一看就是来自工厂的

东西，一点浪漫的情调都没有。所以我就逐步改用干草作覆盖料。我们收割了不少干草，草

一腐烂，的确能改善土壤的结构。再说，看起来很舒服，而且又不花一分钱。

家里有个菜园子能是你感觉到我们这个小小星球的表面有多娇嫩、多丰饶、多容易被毁

坏。在我们那块50英尺宽、70英尺长的土地上，肯定有十几种不同的土壤。西红柿在某个

地方长不好，但是在另一个地方却长得很好。其他庄稼也一样。我想，要是你在地里洒满化

肥，这种差别就不会如此明显。但是，我用化肥非常节省。我只放一点在播种的地方，而不
