>歹徒的外出<

>出去的时间早就到了，我们作为亡命之徒在城外郊区已经躲得太久。当我们无意中听到城

里爆发了一种来自东方的疾病时，我们知道是我们离开躲藏地点出来打探打探的时候了。他

们称之为“东方病”，可我们不在乎。<

><

>我们漫步到街上首先碰到的是一个男孩，他坦率地告诉我们他刚刚成了孤儿，没有地方可

去，想加入我们这邦人。我们的头儿很愤慨，因为这样一个小男孩居然这么容易就认出了我

们，但我们还是继续往城里赶。<

><

>一到城里我们就发现那里一定发生过一场苦难经历。建筑物上所有为即将到来的传统节日

准备的装饰品都被扯了下来，有些被火烧掉了，街上到处是尸体。我们去找水，水桶里却装

满了血，我们什么都不敢喝。<

><

>作为逃跑中的歹徒我们很快迷失了方向，看到一大群人冲向我们，我们非常吃惊。他们大

声喊着要我们把他们带走，他们的声音重叠在一起。当我们回答说我们帮不了忙时，人群变

得凶巴巴的并把我们从城里驱逐出来了。<

><

>骑马离开的时候，我们谁也说不出话来。有时候，虽然你自己的错误决不会制服你，而天

灾却会。

>我的猿徒弟<

>猿居然偷了他的研究器械！现在这名人类学家可是要让他作出偿还！他以前总是认为，他

的徒弟可能很容易犯点愚蠢的错误，让他损失惨重，可是当他在自己的老婆面前假装是一名

无特色的考古学生时，徒弟的天资让他大失所望。她怎么竟会认不出他？整个大学里没有人

比他更大更重--这便是他们开始叫他“猿”的原因。<

><

>得知他的老婆也在做戏，而且因为不想停止烘烤并脱掉围裙，便让他的徒弟从拱门进到了

他的秘密办公室，人类学家并没有因此而大吃一惊。他偷器械就是在这个时候！他老婆很快

意识到她犯了个错误。<

><

>现在由于他的敌对情绪又起而且几乎己经到家，人类学家肯定他能逮到猿以平息他对复仇

的渴望。<

><

>当他呈弧形把车开过来停在车道前面时，他发现徒弟也看到了他，他明白猿在估量他的逃

跑方案。人类学家很快下车，抓住天线，把它扯掉并向徒弟扔去。天线刺到了徒弟的阑尾，

他不禁拍手叫好！尽管人类学家知道复仇的反义词一般是宽恕，但他还是没有走过去帮助现

在己经受伤的徒弟。

>希望渺茫？<

>有些人会不惜一切推翻不好的政策、拯救这个地球。环境保护主义者在这方面尤为出名，

因为他们公开想制服企业和政府，让它们做出改变。他们关心的问题是众所周知的：不断缩

小的臭氧层、熊猫的保护、已被发现的猫头鹰栖息地的破坏、甚至还有在牡蛎繁殖地受到威

胁的区域过度捕鱼的问题。这些人跳伞到危险地区和巨大的渔船一起划桨前进、或者从飞机

上散发小册子，因为他们相互之间有个内部协定要与众不同。<

><

>综述所有这些活动，正常人有时会发现很难不感到一阵后悔，因为我们自己的需求不知为

何会那样压倒自然的需求。看到一只小海豹被杀死我们会哭起来，感觉空气中有太多的二氧

化碳我们会气喘，那么多树被砍倒印制我们喜欢看的平装书会使我们流泪，但我们不知道该

做些什么，一切都似乎那么势不可挡。有时候我们甚至想把自己从天桥上扔到滚滚车流中去，

因为一切都那么令人伤心，而我们又知道我们不能推翻我们自己的政府。<
