跨越时空的链接
今日读《二马》（Mr Ma and Son）老舍这样写到，那是伦敦典型的四月天气：一会儿晴朗，一会儿阴沉，转眼就下起一阵雨；可雨点儿还没落完，太阳又出来了。戈登街那栋房子的窗框上，挂着一串细碎的水珠，像珍珠似的；太阳一照，它们便化作一缕缕白汽，慢慢消散了。IT WAS typical April weather: bright one moment, dull the next, then suddenly there'd be a shower of rain, and, while the raindrops were still falling, the sun would come out again. Tiny pearls of water hung in a string across the window frame of the house at Gordon Street, and as soon as the sun hit them they would slowly disappear in wisps of white vapour.
真的神了，描绘的如此贴切而又富有韵律。
最关键这个戈登街，不就是我现在的UCL社会学研究所所在地吗？戈登广场，那个有一身腱子肉的松鼠，泰戈尔雕塑，树干斑驳的悬铃木和满地的蓝铃花。啧啧，感觉跨越时空的联系到了一起。与百年前的老舍，产生了共振。
这样的感觉我在曝书亭记的时候有过，在沈钧儒纪念馆有过，在朱生豪的故居有过。晚辈与先贤的神交。正应了司马迁那段话：高山仰止，景行行止，虽不能至，心向往之。 http://t.cn/A6VnT3nw
