一九九八年的六月,我来到上海开始为时两年路透社驻沪记者的职务。那晚虹桥机场的灯光,熙熙攘攘的人群,及外滩边上纳凉的人群,黄浦江上缓缓移动的货艇,让我觉得是梦是真,怕一下醒了,我还在半个世界的另一边.坐在纽约的新闻室中,盯着电脑终端机的屏幕,邀游虚拟世界。光阴荏苒,历经了两轮春夏秋冬,由九八年的酷暑,经九九年长达四十天的梅雨,到今年的干旱。我一来一去都在盛夏,所以上海在我记忆中最先浮出的是夏天景观。路边成荫的法国梧桐树,屋檐角下的蝈蝈,在三伏天,昏昏欲睡的下午,有种回到二三十年代的节奏。夏季婀娜的上海姑娘务,长裙短裾,婷婷袅袅,真是美不胜收。九十月间,白天仍是艳阳高照,可是酷暑已过,空气中有股令人微微惆怅的秋意。进入冬天,梧桐树的叶子掉了,光秃秃的树枝似乎给人无所隐讳的一种坦诚。到了春天,嫩绿的叶子从抽芽至长到巴掌大小,不过一礼拜至十天的光景,生命力是如何的旺盛。
In June 1998, I came to Shanghai to start a two-year Reuters correspondent in Shanghai. That night Hongqiao Airport lights, bustling crowd, and the cool water on the edge of the Bund crowd, slowly moving boats on the Huangpu River, I think the dream is true, I was afraid of what I woke up, I was still half a world of the other Sitting in the newsroom in New York, I stared at the screen of a computer terminal and invited the virtual world. Time flies, after two rounds of spring, summer, autumn and winter, from the summer heat of 1998 to the drought of this year after a period of up to 40 days of rainy seasons in 1999. I come and go all in summer, so Shanghai is the first in my memory is the summer landscape. Roadside shade of the French plane tree, the eaves below the eaves, in the dog days, drowsy afternoon, a kind of back to the twenties and thirties rhythm. Summer graceful Shanghai girl service, dress skirts, Tingting curl, it is beautiful. In the middle of the day, the sun is still high during the day in October, but the summer has passed with the slight autumn gloom in the air. Into the winter, the leaves of the plane tree fell, bare branches seem to give no secret of a frank. In spring, green leaves grow from bud to palm size, but the ten to ten days of the scene, vitality is how strong.
