《大美湖光巖》|歐陽英語朗誦
大 美 湖 光 巖
作者:宋乃裕 施瑞平
朗誦:余宙
在中國湛江市郊西南的一片郁郁蔥蔥中,掩映著一頃碧波,她宛若一只碧眼,仰視蒼穹。風從億萬年前吹來,身臨其境,恍若穿越時空……湖光巖便是這樣一處神秘而秀麗的存在。
十多萬年前的某個瞬間,火山爆發(fā),巖漿噴出,四圍成山。當火山的熱情退去,只留下清冷的火山口。年復一年,歷盡時光……在大自然的魔幻之手下,一片晶瑩澄澈的湖泊慢慢涌現。那湖不同于一般的湖泊,旱不涸,澇不溢,永遠一副純凈安詳的模樣。
這,就是湖光巖的瑪珥湖。
神秘的瑪珥湖,有著令人沉醉的百變之美。
煙雨空濛之中,她神秘莫測,浪漫至極;雨后初霽,她清新脫俗,天然無飾,宛若出浴美人;夕陽晚照,波光瀲滟,紅霞浸染,像極一幅漁舟唱晚的油畫。
有人給湖光巖“湖光鏡月”之美譽。它像一面鏡子,纖塵不染,映照天地萬物。
從望海樓遠眺,水天一色,綠水悠悠,鏡湖之美,盡收眼底。仿佛神仙的一滴淚,遺落凡間,只為掩藏水火最初的遇見;又宛如水火的一場愛戀,曾驚艷了時光,激蕩了靈魂!
湖光巖有多神秘,至今也沒有人能說得清。萬年的落花飛葉消失在湖面、無影無蹤,它們去了哪里?是否,龍魚和神龜像傳說那樣,曾現身湖面?那深深的湖底,是否連通著遠方的洞庭湖?
湖光巖,總能勾起人們胸中萬千浪漫與詩意。單是那一湖碧水,本身就是一首韻味雋永的詩。千百年來,多少文人墨客,但凡稍稍駐足,莫不流連于此,從而留下吉光片羽,閃耀人寰。
有人來此得到心靈的滌蕩,寫下:“眼從云水光中洗,身寄煙林靜處留”;有人感慨于湖光巖的神奇:“沉巖無地起樓臺,鏡月湖光一片開”;有人為楞嚴寺妙筆題佳聯:“湖水蒼茫,客到路從花外問;巖山寂歷,僧歸門向月中敲”。就“湖光巖”這個芳名而言,也是取自“湖光巖影”這一意象,湖、光、巖、影,相映成輝。鐫刻在高高石巖上“湖光巖”三個大字,是宋朝丞相李綱被貶途經雷州所題,雖歷盡千年,風雨不蝕。
古人云:“水不在深,有龍則靈。”
湖光巖,靈氣動人。它的誕生被人們渲染出另一番神秘:白牛用自己的生命凈化了一湖碧水,湖水之清澈由此而來;湖光巖大門口的石龜,因為天天凝神靜聽楞嚴寺僧人的誦經聲,聽得出神,竟修煉成一只靈龜,終日守望在湖邊。
人間苦難多,愛情路上的癡男怨女,常常來此尋找慰藉。據說,湖中時常浮現的一雙金鯉魚,正是一對為愛殉情的青年男女,他們凄美的愛情故事在民間久久流傳。湖光巖,這一世外桃源,猶如一只天碗,盛滿春夏流年帶來的絕美饋贈。飛花落葉,生命留痕,層層疊疊埋入湖底,經年累月,這些沉積物,便是時光的年鑒——它們忠實記錄地球十幾萬年演變過程。
人們視湖光巖為“打開地球迷宮的一把鑰匙”。走進火山博物館,人們仿佛乘上時光機,回到地球的久遠歲月,探索宇宙奧秘,發(fā)現生命之神奇。每年學生們成群結隊來此探幽訪古,為古老瑪珥湖更添幾許朝氣。
手掬一捧湖水,洗去一身凡塵。遠古的清冽,現今的清新,撲面而來。風影從耳邊溫柔拂過,深吸一口醉人的空氣,這種甚囂塵外的風景,常常令人忘記,今夕是何夕!
湖光巖像是地球的一只眼睛,一眼十數萬年地凝視寰宇,不分晝夜看著太陽與月亮,星辰與大?!路穑瑫r間在這里才有了永恒的意味。“羨宇宙之無窮,哀吾生之須臾”,比之瑪珥湖的存在,人的生命或許只是剎那芳華的綻放,正是因為人生苦短,才要我們傾盡一生,活出精彩!
今日湖光巖,古樸清幽中多了現代氣息。周末,邀上一家老小或三五好友,沿湖散步,氧吧慢跑,湖畔小憩……或是坐上那一身鮮艷的觀光小火車,環(huán)湖而過,走走停停,更有一份景致。
茂密的樹林間、綠綠的草坪上,有人隨音樂起舞、有人在湖濱漫步、有人泡上一壺香茶,偶爾一陣歡歌笑語,撒入波光中,碎了那一波波山巖的倒影、美得像流動的彩畫,太美了……千年古寺香煙繚繞,卻不再是避世之所而承載的紅塵哀怨,而已是人們的祈福圣地。科普館,初入只覺自己是人間凡夫,歸來仿佛已歷盡寰宇,神游萬仞……
啊,湖光巖,曾經的水火激蕩留下你美麗的傳奇。
啊,神奇的瑪珥湖,堅挺的石巖刻下你歲月的滄桑。
啊,湖光巖,你是人間奇跡,大美湖光巖!
Poetry Recital with Soundtrack:
Lake Guangyan, A Great Beauty
Script by Song Naiyu, Shi Ruiping
Recited by Yu Zhou
In the lush southwest of Zhanjiang, China, there is an expanse of blue waves. The lake looks up at the sky like a blue eye while the wind, from hundreds of millions of years ago, blows as if through time and space... Such is Huguangyan, or the Cliff of Beautiful Lake, a mysterious and beautiful place.
At an instant more than tens of thousands of years ago, a volcano erupted spewing out a large amount of lava, which piled up into a mountain. After the volcanic eruption stopped, a cold crater was left. Year after year, under the magic of time and nature, a crystal-clear lake slowly emerged, which is different from ordinary lakes. It never dries up in drought, nor overflows when it is flooded, always looking pure and peaceful.
This is the Maar Lake in Huguangyan, a mysterious Lake that has an intoxicating beauty of changes.
Amidst the misty rain, the lake is mysterious and romantic; after the rain, she is fresh, refined, and natural without decoration, just like a bathing beauty. The setting sun shines in the evening, the waves are shimmering, and the rosy clouds lingering in the sky which looks like an oil painting of fishing boats singing in the evening.
Some people dubbed Huguangyan as the “Lake of Moonlight”. It is like a mirror, spotless, reflecting all things in the world.
Overlooking from the sea tower, the water and the sky are the same, the blue water is expensive, and the beauty of the lake of moonlight can be seen at a glance. Like a drop of tears from an immortal, it is left on earth to conceal the initial encounter of water and fire; It is like a love of fire and water, which once amazed and stirred the soul of the people!
No one can tell how mysterious Huguangyan is. Ten thousand years of falling flowers and flying leaves disappeared on the lake without a trace. Where did they go? Did the dragon fish and the tortoise ever appeared on the lake as the legend has it? Is the deep bottom of the lake connected to the distant Dongting Lake?
Huguangyan always evokes romance and thousands of poetic lines in people's hearts. The lake alone is a poem with a lasting charm. For thousands of years, many writers have lingered here, Leave beautiful poems that spread all over the world.
One poet came here to get the cleansing of the soul and wrote: “bathing in the light of clouds and water, I enjoy being in a quiet place in the woods”.
Another exalted the magic of Huguangyan: “high towers spring up from the sinking rocks, and the lake of moonlight sheds its splendor around”.
A third one wrote a beautiful couplet for the Lengyan Temple: "the lake is vast, and a guest asks his way to flowers; the monk returns, knocking his door under the moonlight”. As far as the name "Huguangyan" is concerned, it is derived from the shadows of the lake and rocks. The Lake, light, rocks and shadows reflect each other into brilliance. The word "Huguangyan" engraved on the high rock was written by Li Gang, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, who was demoted to Leizhou. Although it has lasted for thousands of years, the word has not been eroded by wind and rain.
The ancients said: "the water, though not deep, has a spirit so long as it has dragons in it."
Huguangyan has an aura. Its birth was endowed with another mystery by people: a white cow purified the clear water of the lake with its own life. The stone turtle at the gate of Huguangyan is attentively listening to the chanting of the monks of Langyan Temple every day. He is so absorbed that he has cultivated himself into a supernatural turtle and keeps watch by the lake all day.
There are many sufferings in the world. Men and women in love often come here to find comfort. It is said that the pair of golden carps that often appear in the lake is a couple of young man and woman who died for love. Their sad and beautiful love story has been circulating among the people for a long time.
Huguangyan, a paradise, is like a heavenly bowl full of beautiful gifts brought by the fleeting years of spring and summer. Flying flowers and fallen leaves, traces of life were buried in the bottom of the lake. Over the years, these sediments represent passage of time - they faithfully record the evolution of the earth over thousands of years.
People regard Huguangyan as “a key to open the labyrinth of the earth”. Entering the Volcanic Pavilion, one seems to take a time machine to return to the ancient years of the earth to explore the mysteries of the universe and discover the magic of life. Every year, students come here in groups to explore the past times, adding a little vitality to the ancient Maar Lake.
Hold a handful of lake water in your hand to wash away the dust. The freshness of ancient times and of today come to my face. The breeze blows gently in my ear and I take a deep breath of intoxicating air. This kind of scenery outside the noisy world is unforgotten. What night is tonight!
Huguangyan is like an eye of the earth, gazing at the world for tens of thousands of years and looking at the sun and moon, stars and the sea day and night... It seems that time has eternal meaning here. “Admire the infinity of the universe and mourn the moment of my life”. Compared with the Maar Lake, human life may only bloom in a moment. It is precisely because life is short that we have to live a wonderful life!
Today, the quiet Huguangyan has acquired a modern flavor. At the weekend, one can invite his family or his friends, old or young, to take a walk along the lake, jog in the oxygen bar, and take a rest by the lake... Or hop on the colorful sightseeing train to run around the lake and have a better view.
In the dense woods and green lawns, some people dance to music, some walk along the lake, and still others make a pot of fragrant tea, so that occasionally a burst of laughter are scattered into the waves, breaking the reflections of the mountains and rocks, which is as beautiful as color paintings. The beautiful millennium-old temple is surrounded by fragrant incense, but it is no longer a refuge, but a holy land for people to pray. When I first entered the science museum, I only felt that I was a mortal on earth. When I returned home, it seemed that I had wandered all over the world.
Alas, Huguangyan, you are a beautiful legend created by surging water and fire
Alas, the magical Maar Lake, the vicissitudes of your years have been engraved on the strong rocks.
Alas, Huguangyan, you are a miracle and great beauty in the world!
