导读：出行的时候，大多数人会选择最快、最短、最好走的路。作者却在一次意外的经历中体会到绕行的魅力。
Charm of the Detour
Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours in life than by the narrow
road toward goals. I like this image. ①But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep
meaning
of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’home in Boise in nine
hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest easiest road, especially when I was
alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. ②We would stick to
the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to
Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision
for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting
optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour,
let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in
the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out
of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better
than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.
We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.z.xxk
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section
of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet
me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to
2 a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may
uncover the best part of a journey----and the best part of yourself.
绕行的魅力
诗人威廉·斯塔福德曾经说过，我们更多地是被人生中的绕行路所定义而不是通往目标的那条狭窄的小径。我喜欢这种观点。但是我却是一次偶然的机会才发现了这句话的深层含义。
多年以来，我们会从位于西雅图的家开车长途跋涉9个小时去我父母位于博伊西的家。我们出行的方式和大多数人一样：选择最快、最短、最好走的路，尤其是当我一个人带着四个吵闹不休的孩子回家时，他们是讨厌受到限制，对一切事情都有着强烈的看法。
自己驾车出行让人感觉有些冒险，因此我把车子开得很快，没有必要绝不停车。我们总是坚持走高速公路，每次到达的时候都会疲惫不堪。
但是后来，我们家的小羊羔班纳出生了。就在我们准备启程去博伊西的前几天，他被妈妈抛弃了。我只有两个选择：把班纳丢给丈夫或者带着他上路。丈夫替我做好了决定。
于是我就带着四个孩子、一只小羊羔上路了，陪伴我的只有总是帮我渡过难关的乐观主义。出于必要，我们走的乡间公路。每个小时我们都得停下来，让班纳活动活动小腿儿并且喂他吃些东西。孩子们追逐着小羊羔，也追逐着彼此。随后他们会气喘吁吁却又精力充沛地回到车上，全身上下带着外面冷空气的清新。
我们在小路上探险，在齐腰高的草丛中捉蚂蚱。即使我们只是从车窗的玻璃看着小猪崽儿跟着妈妈跑来跑去，或者看着鱼儿跃出水面，这样也比之前高速公路上最好的旅程还要棒。这才是生活。这才是新的视野。
最后我们来到了我父母家的门前，每个人都出人意料地神清气爽，装满了故事。
回程的时候我的胆子大了起来，还创造出了约束孩子们的办法。在一段空旷的路上，孩子们争吵起来。我停下车子，命令他们全部下车，然后告诉他们自己走到前面和我会和。车子开出半里地之后，我停下来，在一片静谧中开始读书。
人生中有些路程必然会笔直、迅速。但是那次带着班纳的行程打开了我们的视野，让我们看到了一个任何人都可以去冒险的世界，也让我意识到一次绕行可能会为我们揭开旅程中最美的一段——也是我们内心最美的部分。
