槍口

The Muzzles

徐光興

Xu Quangxing

官復原職的N省建材局楊局長和李祕書，走在篙草叢生、蘆荻疏落的湖邊。“煙中列峋青無數，雁背夕陽紅欲暮。”西風，秋水，雁陣，銜着落日的遠山，交融在一起，更增添打獵者的無限興致。

Yang had just been sent back to his former post, Chief of the Provincial Building Material Bureau. Later one afternoon he was walking with Secretary Li, hunting beside the lake where wormwood grew abundantly among scattered reeds. There were seemingly endless green mountain ranges stretching into thin mist, and wild geese silhouetted against the glow of the setting sun. An autumn stream ruffled by the west wind, and the lines of wild geese set against the background of distant mountains embracing the sinking sun, harmoniously merged to enhance the joy of the hunters.

“嘎——”傳來一聲水禽被驚動的鳴叫。楊局長從李祕書手裏接過一支嶄新的獵槍，愛撫地摸了一下。它是雙筒槍管，槍身瓦藍錚亮，槍口黑黝黝的，有一股逼人的寒氣。貨三十多年前他打游擊時，也沒拿到過這樣的槍。

"Quack!” came the cry o# a startled water bird. Bureau Chief Yang took the brand-new hunting gun from Secretary L and caressed it with affection. It was a double-barreled shotgun with a shining blue body and a pair of chilling black muzzles. He had never held such a fine weapon, not even in those days of guerrilla warfare thirty years before.

“吱嘎——嘎呷”，從附近湖面的荷梗殘葦中，竄出幾隻白頸黃蹼、羽毛灰麻麻的水鴨子，在空中撲騰亂飛，驚悸聲聲。趕着獵狗的捕獵社員，也悄悄地摸到這兒。好幾支獵槍的槍口，同時瞄準了這些空中獵物。

"Quack! Quack!" Out fluttered into the air several grey-feathered ducks with white necks and yellow webbed feet. The commune hunters stole to the lakeside, their hounds at their heels. Several muzzles at once aimed at the fleeing birds in the air.

“砰——”老楊開槍了。一縷白煙消散，一隻水鴨子像斷線的風箏，從半空中墜下。

"Bang!" Old Yang fired. A wisp of white smoke dispersed to reveal a duck falling from the sky like a stringless kite.

“打中嘍，打中嘍!楊局長，你真不愧是當年游擊隊裏的神槍手。”李祕書像個孩子似的跳着嚷着，奔過去撿獵獲物。

"You've scored a hit! Chief Yang, you did deserve to be called the crackshot in the guerrilla warfare days!" Secretary Li jumped and shouted with joy like a child and rushed to pick up the shot bird.

老楊只是“嘿嘿”笑了幾聲，拍着槍連聲說：“好槍，好槍!”

Old Yang chuckled, patted the gun and said, “Excellent shotgun! Excellent indeed!"

他倆朝熄了引擎的黑色小轎車走去。老楊說：“老王這傢伙，介紹的地點還蠻不錯呢。”

As they were walking to the waiting black car, Old Yang remarked, “That fellow Wang recommended a fairly good spot to us for hunting.”

李祕書試探地湊上前去說：“他是您的老部下嘛。這次他請您批50噸建材物資給他……”

Seizing the opportunity, Secretary Li Cut in probingly, “He used to be your subordinate, didn't he? This time Ws asked you to grant him 50 tons of building material . . .

“你不要爲他做說客。不批，半個字也不批;針尖大的洞，也會刮進斗大的風。咱黨員幹部，那歪門邪道不要搞。”他停了一下，朝煙波迷茫、水天一色的湖面瞧去。“好景緻，可惜婷兒沒有同來。”

"Don't you ever try to talk me into consenting on his behalf. I won't agree, not or any account! A tiny opening will let in a gust of wind. We Party cadres should not engage in any under-the-counter business." Yang stopped to glance over the misty lake where the water joined the sky. "What a nice view! It's a pity that my daughter Ting hasn't come with us, " he concluded.

“她今天有更高興的事兒。”李祕書故作神祕地笑笑說，“王主任託了文化局的老馬，同意把您的女兒調到省實驗話劇團工作。”

"There is something nicer in store for her today," Secretary Li smiled with an air of mystery and went on. "Director Wang has managed to get your daughter transferred to the Provincial Drama Troupe with the help of Old Ma of the Cutural Bureau. "

“嗯?”老楊的眉毛擰了個結。李祕書只當沒察覺，坐進轎車，手扶在車門上，彷彿自言自語地說：“就拿這輛車來說吧，也是王主任出力調撥給您的。那回大姐犯病進院，還多虧這輛車接送。”

"Really?" Old Yang knitted his brows. Secretary Li pretended not to notice it and got into the car, and with his hand still on the door, murmured as if to himself, "As for this car, it was allocated to you through the effort of Director Wang too. When your wife fell ill, she was rushed to hospital in the same car. "

“該死，早把我當獵物給瞄上了。”他下意識地攝緊槍把想。李祕書一眼溜到槍上，像又想起什麼說：“王主任知道您喜歡打獵，這支獵槍，就是他特意託人專程送到您家的……”

"Damn it? I have long been aimed at as a target!" Old Yang thought as he subconsciously tightened his gasp on the shotgun. Secretary Li took a swift glance at the gun, and seeming to have been reminded of something, said, "Director Wang knew that you were fond of hunting, so he had this shotgun sent especially to your home. . ."

車發動了。老楊陡然一驚，不覺倒抽一口冷氣：黑黝黝雙筒槍口，冒着寒氣，就像兩隻黑洞洞的眼睛，死死地瞄準了他……

The engine started. Old Yang was taken aback and couldn't help drawing his breath sharply. The chilling black muzzles glared coldly at him lust like a pair of black eves.

蒲松齡

Pu Songling

王汾濱言：其鄉有養八哥者，教以語言，甚押習，出遊必與之俱，相將數年矣。一日，將過絳州，而資斧已罄，其人愁苦無策。鳥雲：“何不告我?送我王邸，當得善價，不愁歸路無資也。”其人云：“我安忍。”鳥言：“不妨。主人得價疾行，待我城西二十里大樹下。”其人從之。攜至城，相問答，觀者漸衆。有中貴見之，聞諸王。王召入，欲買之。其人日：“小人相依爲命，不願賣。”王問鳥：“汝願住否?”言：“願住。”王喜。鳥又言：“給價十金，勿多予。”王益喜，立界十金。其人故作懊恨狀而去。王與鳥言，應對便捷。呼肉淡之。食已，鳥曰：“臣要浴。”王命金盆貯水，開籠令浴。浴已，飛檐間，梳翎抖羽，尚與王喋喋不休。頃之，羽燥，翩趾而起，操晉聲曰：“臣去呀!”顧盼已失所在。王及內侍，仰面諮磋。急覓其人，則已渺矣。後有往秦中者，見其人攜鳥在西安市上。畢載積先生記。

銅鏡

The Bronze Mirror

我們在參觀博物館時，常常看到各種古代銅鏡。它是我國古代人民用來整容的家庭日用品。這些銅鏡大多是從古墓中出土的，也有少數是傳世之物。

Whenever we visit a museum, we see various types of ancient bronze mirrors. Used as a household necessity for dressing by the ancient Chinese people, these bronze mirrors were mostly unearthed from ancient tombs, while some are kept as heirlooms.

早在公元前11世紀，我國先民已經使用銅鏡了。戰國時期，銅鏡在民間盛行。鏡的正面磨光發亮，背面有的飾單層或雙層花紋，常見的有獸面紋、花葉紋、龍鳳紋等。西漢時期，銅鏡較厚重，紋飾多幾何圖案、神人和禽獸紋等。並有鑄刻銘文，每句僅三至四字，例如：“長相思”、“毋相忘”、“常富貴”、“樂未央”等。內容多是通俗的吉祥語。宋、元時期出現了圓鏡、長方鏡、菱鏡、八棱鏡和帶柄手鏡等。清代以後，逐漸被玻璃鏡所代替。

Our ancestors started to use bronze mirrors in as early as the 11th century B.C. During the Warring States Period, bronze mirrors prevailed among the populace. The front side of the mirrors, after being polished, glistens while the backside is embellished with single-layered or double-layered patterns, among which the commonly seen are thus- of animal faces, flowers and leaves, dragons and phoenixes. During the Western flan Period, the bronze mirrors used to be relatively thick and heavy. Most of the decorative patterns were of geometrical forms, supernatural figures, or fowls and animals, accompanied by inscriptions of only three or four characters with such meanings as "eternal love", "never to forget", "wealth for ever" and "everlasting happiness". The content frequently dealt with common well-wishings. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties the bronze mirrors appeared in all shapes: round, rectangular, rhomboidal, octagonal, and those with a handle. Since the Qing Dynasty, however, the bronze mirror has gradually given way to the glass mirror.

上海博物館展出一件銅鏡——“透光鏡”，它是西漢時期的珍品，直徑爲11 .5釐米。這面銅鏡與普通銅鏡一樣，背面有圖案，還有銘文。奇怪的是，當一束光線照到鏡面，。反射投影在牆壁上，牆上的光亮圈內竟出現銅鏡背面的圖案和文字，好像從鏡背“透”過來的，故稱“透光鏡”。對於這種現象，在過去很長的時間裏，連科學家們都感到驚奇，人們把它稱做“魔鏡”。今天，我國已可仿製出售，作爲旅遊紀念品，很受外國遊客的歡迎。

In Shanghai Museum, one finds a treasure of the Western Han Period, the "penetrative bronze mirror", measuring 11.5 cm. in diameter. Like ordinary bronze mirrors it bears patterns and inscriptions on the back. But what amazes people is that when a bundle of rays is projected onto the surface of the mirror, which, in turn, reflects the light on the wall, the patterns and inscriptions on the backside are shown in the ring of the light, as if they had penetrated the whole thickness of the mirror. Hence the name of the mirror. For a long time in the past, even scientists were so puzzled at the phenomenon that it was called a "magic mirror". Today, reproductions of this mirror are being made and sold as souvenirs and they appeal very much to tourists.

我國古代常把銅鏡當做隨葬品。在古墓中，往往發現銅鏡放置在死者的頭頂或胸側。有時把銅鏡和木梳一起放在漆匣內或小荷包裏。在發掘古墓時，還發現有的銅鏡放在墓頂上方，據說這是爲了“辟邪”和“降妖”。

In ancient times, bronze mirrors were very often used as sacrificial objects. In the ancient tombs, one can always expect to find bronze mirrors placed on top of the head or beside the chest of the dead. Sometimes, bronze mirrors and combs were put together in lacquer boxes or small pouches. In unearthing ancient tombs, bronze mirrors were sometimes discovered on the inner topsides, in order to keep away evil spirits and subdue demons, so it was said.
