Nettles荨麻子Alice Munro爱丽丝芒罗1979年的夏天，我来到好朋友赛妮在安大略省的欧克斯桥的家中度假。

在她家的厨房里，我见到了在灶台旁边正忙于做番茄酱三文治的他。

几年后，我坐在另一个男子的车里围绕着多伦多北部的山区，寻找那幢房子。

我试着找到它所在的街道，但从未成功过。

那房子可能已经被推倒。

在我拜访过她们的几年后，塞妮和丈夫就把房子卖掉了。

只因为它离他们在渥太华的住处太远，不便作为夏天度假之地。

在我儿时所在的乡下，夏天井水经常干涸。

尽管我家的井已经是最深的，但是父亲圈养的银狐、水貂需要相当大的供水量。

所以有一天掘井人带着给人印象深刻的掘井设备，开始了他的工作——将井深一直扩充到地下有水的地方。

从那时起，无论天气多干燥，我们都可以在任何时间用泵摇出纯净冰凉的地下水。

在水泵上有一个锡制的杯子，当我在灼热的天气，用它来喝水的时候，我就想着水流经过黑色的岩石如耀眼的黑宝石。

掘井人名叫迈克麦卡乐姆。

他住在离我们农场很近的镇上的克拉克旅馆。

他春天到我们这来，将这附近的能找到的活都干完就会会离开，继续到别处去。

迈克有一个儿子，和父亲一起就近住在旅馆或寄宿公寓，并就近上学读书。

他也叫迈克麦卡勒姆。

那时他九岁，我八岁。

迈克的父亲总是驾着一辆脏兮兮的深红色的卡车。

下雨的时候，我和迈克就爬到驾驶舱里，雨水打在车窗上有很大的声响，听起来就像石块儿打在屋顶上。

车里充满着男人的气息—他们的工作服、工具、烟草以及脏靴子和发出酸奶酪气味的袜子。

还有那湿漉漉的长毛狗，因为我们把我们的狗兰杰也带进来了。

有一天，我们把兰杰带出来，它去追赶一只臭鼬那只臭鼬调过头向它喷射。

妈妈不得不立即停下手里的活，驾车到镇上去买几大罐子番茄汁，迈克把兰杰哄到盆里，然后我们把番茄汁倾倒到它身上，再用刷子刷它的毛发。

看起来就像我们在用鲜血给它洗澡。

我家的农场都很小—9英亩。

正是因为它足够小，我可以透彻地研究发掘每个细节。

这里的每一棵树都表现出某种神态。

nettles读后心得
读完《Nettles》这篇诗后，我被诗人Leslie Norris对父子关系的刻画深深触动。

这首诗通过描述一个父亲为自己受伤的儿子收拾伤口的场景，展现了父子之间深深的爱与关怀。

诗中的荨麻被描绘成了父亲与儿子之间的冲突、矛盾和挑战。

荨麻的刺痛让儿子痛苦不堪，而父亲则以手中的火焰来驱散荨麻，以保护儿子免受伤害。

这种情景使我想起了生活中的点点滴滴，父亲总是以自己的方式，竭尽全力地保护和呵护着自己的孩子。

这首诗的意象与象征性的描绘也给我留下了深刻的印象。

荨麻象征着生活中的困难和挑战，而父亲则代表着保护和安全。

父亲用火焰驱散荨麻的过程不仅仅是对荨麻的消除，更是对父爱的具象化。

诗人通过这种象征性的描写，巧妙地表达了父爱的力量与威严。

除了对父爱的描述，诗人还暗示了生活中的残酷和无法预测的事实。

在诗中，尽管父亲竭尽全力保护儿子，但荨麻依然会不断生长，带来新的伤害。

这给我带来了对现实生活中的挑战和困难的思考，父亲的保护并不能永远完全消除人们所面临的困境。

总的来说，这首诗通过对父子关系的刻画，向我们展示了父爱的力量
和伟大。

无论生活中遇到多少困难和挑战，父亲总是竭尽全力保护和呵护自己的孩子。

同时，诗人也通过对象征性描写的运用，暗示了生活中的残酷和不可预测的现实。

这让我深思父爱的同时，也意识到生活中的挑战不可避免，我们必须学会面对和应对。
