第一只牡蛎1 “来，尝尝这个，这个好吃，”我父亲一边说一边在我的鼻子前晃动着一只牡蛎。

2 我皱起眉头，说：“我不吃，我不喜欢吃这个。

”3 “胡说，你没尝过怎么知道不喜欢吃。

”他跟我论理，“把它放进嘴里，品尝一下大西洋的味道。

”4 我想他说得对，可是有时候有些东西你只要看一眼就知道喜不喜欢。

坦率地说，我觉得牡蛎看起来挺恶心的。

5 这座饭店坐落在法国一个海滨旅游胜地。

这时侍者不仅端上了一客分量极大的海鲜——螃蟹、对虾、大龙虾及各种贝类都堆在一起，还拿来了一瓶放在冰篮子里的白葡萄酒。

我母亲正忙着购物，于是我父亲就决定带我——他十岁的儿子——去吃午饭。

他要让我体验生命里一件重要的事情，一件对我父亲来说与成年一样重要的事：我的第一只牡蛎。

6 第一个吃牡蛎的男人到底是怎么想的呢？我说“男人”是因为女人肯定不会这么傻吧？“噢，我有点饿了，我们来瞧瞧这个石坑……嗯，我觉得它看起来挺好吃的！”好像不太可能。

父亲的话听起来更像是男生式的挑战。

“来，你尝尝这只牡蛎，我来尝尝这块油滋滋的咸肉三明治，让我们看看谁吃得更开心！”7 外面，天空灰蒙蒙的，海面上刮来一阵强风。

天气看起来和我的心情一样阴郁。

没有希望，只感觉饿，只担心失去纯真，因为我意识到这第一只牡蛎我今天非吃不可了。

8 “我能吃炸鱼和薯条吗？”我满怀希望地问。

我突然想吃我最爱吃的菜。

9 “当然不行！他们这儿没有炸鱼和薯条，只有这地方最上等的海鲜，在这方圆几英里之内你找不到更好的海鲜了。

”他边回答边给自己又倒了一杯酒。

“好啦，别抱怨了，就给我尝一只牡蛎，然后你就可以吃些好吃、顺口的东西，比如对虾加黄油面包。

”他提议说。

整顿饭中，他的话中第一次有了妥协的意思。

10 但是，尽管清晰地感觉到了他的妥协——只有一个十岁的男孩才有这样的感觉，我仍然明白这妥协包含着吃掉那只牡蛎，那只放在我父亲的盘子边上的牡蛎。

11 我父亲继续吃着那一堆海鲜。

他盘子里放着一大堆被丢弃的龙虾爪，盘子边上放着一套工具，用来敲开蟹壳，剔出哪怕一丁点儿的蟹肉。
