【鲜菇杂谈】雅思口语话题——需要多久才能爱上一座城？ 　　

　　——三毛说：

　　心若没有栖息的地方，到哪里都是流浪。有的城，呆了一周便不想走。有的城，住了一辈子，却没有几天是快乐的。呆了一周的城，若继续呆下去，是否会变成一座不快乐的城？呆了一辈子的城，若离开了，是否会立刻开始想念？

　　在探索一座又一座城市的过程中，我们观看，我们思考，我们皱眉，我们微笑。我们拍下一张照片分享到朋友圈，收获一些赞，得到一丝满足。我们停下来，走进一座公共图书馆，在一个没那么安静的区域，坐下来，读一本无聊的小说，享受秋末季节室内暖暖的温度。

　　一座城市的建筑、街道、公共交通、餐厅、商场，行人、乘客、顾客、店员，天空、阳光、空气、温度、树木、草地、水域、泥土…… 我们感受到的这一切，汇聚成对这座城市的印象。哪怕只有一天，心里也会默默有了一个答案。

　　然而，一件事，可能会改变你对这座城的看法。比如，当你遇到了一个人，一个意外闯入你行驶路线中的人，简单的几句对话，竟让你从警惕变得释然，再次相信人性本善，慢慢放松下来，停下来去思考周围发生的一切。

　　一个和陌生人的有趣对话，多么富有人情味儿的一个话题啊。好多故事在我脑中浮现，一个又一个，小小的、确定的、让人愉快的，真实故事。

　　This conversation happened when I just arrived in Vancouver about 10 days ago. It was in the afternoon and I just got off the sky train from the airport. I was a bit confused about where to exit because there seemed to be at least three exits. My destination was my friend’s home and she was working at that time and couldn’t be able to pick me up from the station, so I had to find my own way. It was not a big problem since I could read the signs and ask people if I had to. I saw stairs and somehow, I felt it was the right way, so I decided to go down the stairs and leave the station. I was caring a luggage, not too big and I could handle it without any problem. When I was going downstairs, there was a man walking up towards me. I was a bit confused because he seemed to walk in the wrong direction since there were more stairs and he didn’t have to come this way. I stopped and waited. I thought he would walk up and leave. Instead, he stopped too and smiled at me and waved at me. I felt a bit scared and held my luggage tighter. Then I heard him say, “let me help you with the luggage”, at the same time, he ran up and took my luggage. That was the moment I felt extremely worried because now I could see that he was a vagrant. What if he wanted to rob my luggage and run? What if he started to force me to give him money? I couldn’t believe I would meet such a thing on the first day in Vancouver. Eventually, it turned out that he was just trying to help and didn’t intend to steal anything from me. It was such a big relief and I asked him the way to my destination. He showed me the way nicely and I said thank you so much to him a few times. Then, I almost started to run to my direction and didn’t look back. For a tiny girl like me, I really worried that I would be bullied by some stranger randomly. I had to protect myself. Even though I trusted him in the end, I still felt a bit nervous thinking about all this. I asked myself why did I had a stereotype only because he was in rags. Probably because I’ve heard too many horrible stories of girls being murdered in a foreign country or similar stories like that. I felt upset about such accidents. I knew that I needed more time to trust a person and a city. How long would it take? It’s really hard to say. I am grateful that I didn’t meet a bad person and a very nice gentleman helped me on my first day to a new city. Because of him, I would love to trust strangers again.

　　到底多久才能爱上一座陌生的城? 至今我也没有答案。慢慢体会吧，想出发的时候就出发，想停下来的时候就驻足。不是每个地方都有万里晴空，但是若能让心栖息，或许就知道家到底在哪儿了。
