【正文】 我腦海里喚起了一連串不同尋常的圖像。那時(shí)意大利細(xì)面條還是很少聽說的異國食品。艾倫舅舅家詼諧有趣的場景全都重現(xiàn)在我的腦海中，我回想起來，當(dāng)晚我們笑作一團(tuán)，爭論著該如何地把面條從盤子上送到嘴里才算合乎禮儀。那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一個(gè)時(shí)刻。然而，照我希望的那樣去寫，就會違反我在學(xué)校里學(xué)的正式作文的種種法則，弗利格爾先生也肯定會打它一個(gè)不及格。等我為自己寫好了之后，我可以再為弗利格爾先生寫點(diǎn)什么別的東西。第二天上午，我別無選擇，只好把我為自己而寫的貝爾維爾晚餐的故事交了上去。我正準(zhǔn)備著遵命一放學(xué)就去弗利格爾先生那兒挨訓(xùn)，卻看見他從桌上拿起我的作文，敲了敲桌子讓大家注意聽?！拔乙o你們念一篇小品文?！?于是他開始念了。更不可思議的是，全班同學(xué)都在聽著他念，而且聽得很專心。就連弗利格爾先生也停頓了兩三次，好抑制他那一絲拘謹(jǐn)?shù)奈⑿?。就在十一年級，可謂是最后的時(shí)刻，我找到了一個(gè)今生想做的事。弗利格爾先生念完后說道：“瞧，孩子們，這就是小品文，懂了沒有。祝賀你，貝克先生。Language

Friendship出租車司機(jī)擁有的就剩一封信——福斯特他總算抬頭看我了。他點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭，當(dāng)我坐進(jìn)后座時(shí)，他抱歉地說：―對不起，我在讀一封信。―我不著急，‖我對他說，―你接著把信讀完吧。―我已經(jīng)讀了好幾遍了。‖―家書抵萬金啊，‖我說?！夜懒克辛呤畾q了，便猜測說：―是孩子還是孫子寫來的？‖ ―不是家里人，‖他回答說。埃德老伙計(jì)是我最老的朋友了。我這人就是不大會寫東西。我看，你認(rèn)識他挺久了吧？‖―差不多認(rèn)識了一輩子了?！D一起上的學(xué)？‖―都一起上到高中呢?！D保持這么長久友誼的人可真不多見啊，‖我說。他在的時(shí)候可真是個(gè)大好人。你是說—— ？‖他點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭?！D真遺憾，‖我說，―失去朋友真不是個(gè)滋味，失去個(gè)真正的老朋友更讓人受不了。我們沉默了幾分鐘。他又開口時(shí)，與其說是跟我說話，還不如說是自言自語：―我真該一直保持聯(lián)系?！D是啊，‖我表示贊同，―我們都該與老朋友保持更多的聯(lián)系?！柫寺柤纭（D信里還提到呢。‖―謝謝你，‖我說，―不過我不想讀你的信?！緳C(jī)聳一聳肩。沒什么私事不私事了。信是用鉛筆寫的。―早就想寫信了，可就是一拖再拖。信里提到些事，可能對司機(jī)很重要，比如―那次蒂姆―你們倆準(zhǔn)是在一起度過了不少時(shí)光，‖ 我對他說?！麚u頭嘆道：―時(shí)間啊。我們這些人當(dāng)中留下的也不多了。比如說，每次我去參加老同學(xué)聚會，來的人總是越來越少。―你們倆以前在一起工作嗎？‖我問他。后來，兩人都成了家，就不時(shí)相互串門。當(dāng)然，我倆都總在卡上寫幾句——通常是關(guān)于各自家里的情況，不是嗎，孩子們在干些什么，誰搬到哪兒，添了個(gè)小孫子，都是這類事——可一直都沒正兒八經(jīng)地寫過信什么的?！翌h首稱是。于是我接著說：―我也真想收到這樣一封老朋友的來信。―因此我想你一定想知道我惦記著你。我們在我的旅店前停下，我把信遞了回去。湯姆？信的署名是湯姆？―我記得你朋友叫埃德，‖我說，―為什么他署名湯姆呢？‖―這封信不是湯姆寫給我的，‖他解釋說，―我是湯姆。所以我一直沒寄出。―我想我真該早些寫這封信。首先我得寫封信——而且要寄出去。霍金無論我們是否愿意，我們生活的世界在過去一百年間已經(jīng)變化了許多，而且在未來的一百年里可能變化更多。但正如歷史所表明的，過去并非那么美妙。對占人口大多數(shù)的民眾而言，生活是艱難、殘忍而又短暫的。知識與技術(shù)不可能說忘就忘了。即使所有用于研究的政府資金都被取消（現(xiàn)政府最擅此事），競爭的力量仍將繼續(xù)帶來技術(shù)的發(fā)展。惟一能阻止進(jìn)一步發(fā)展的辦法或許是一個(gè)壓制任何新事物的全球政府，但人類的進(jìn)取心與創(chuàng)造力如此旺盛，即便這個(gè)政府也不會成功。如果我們承認(rèn)，我們無法阻止科學(xué)技術(shù)改變我們的世界，我們至少可以努力確?？萍紟淼淖兓较蛘_。目前，公眾對科學(xué)存有矛盾之心。那個(gè)在實(shí)驗(yàn)室里設(shè)法制造弗蘭肯斯泰因的瘋狂的科學(xué)家的卡通人物清楚地體現(xiàn)了公眾的這種懷疑。但公眾同時(shí)也對科學(xué)深感興趣，尤其是對天文學(xué)，諸如《夜空》之類的電視系列節(jié)目觀眾不少以及科幻小說讀者甚多就是明證。但在學(xué)校里，科學(xué)往往被教得枯燥乏味。更有甚者，科學(xué)常常是用公式來教的。前不久我寫了一本通俗讀物，當(dāng)時(shí)有人告誡我說，我每使用一個(gè)公式就會使銷量減半。如果不用這個(gè)公式的話，也許我能多賣出一倍的書。但對我們其余的人來說，對科學(xué)概念有個(gè)質(zhì)的認(rèn)識就已足夠，這可以用文字和圖表來表述，大可不必使用公式。但如今科學(xué)進(jìn)步的速度如此之快，一個(gè)人離開學(xué)校或大學(xué)后新的發(fā)展層出不窮。有關(guān)科學(xué)的通俗讀物和雜志文章能幫助人們了解新發(fā)展，但即使是最暢銷的科普讀物也只有一小部分人閱讀。電視上有一些相當(dāng)優(yōu)秀的科學(xué)節(jié)目，但其他的節(jié)目把科學(xué)奇跡簡單地作為魔術(shù)播出，既不加以說明，也不展現(xiàn)它們與科學(xué)觀念的整體框架的關(guān)系。當(dāng)今世界充滿危險(xiǎn)，因此就有了那個(gè)令人毛骨悚然的玩笑，說我們尚未受到外星文明造訪的原因在于：但凡文明發(fā)展到我們目前的程度，它們往往就自我毀滅了。I
