每年这个时候,随着秋风渐紧秋叶飘零,你都会在英国的大小城市街头看到这样一幅景象:有这么一些人,他们站在道旁或商店门外,一手捧着一只盛满红色小纸花的纸盒,另一手托着一只红色密封的圆筒,那筒里往往已经盛了不少的钱币,轻轻一摇便会哗哗作响,那盛花的纸盒子上写着大大一行字:呼吁———罂粟花捐。而过往的行人差不多都会停下匆匆脚步,先往筒里投进几个钱币,再从纸盒里取一朵小红花戴在衣襟上。就这么不出几天的工夫,你会突然发现这小小红花迅速“开”遍了英伦三岛,从路上行人到学校师生、公司职员、商店店员、医院医生、值勤警官、电视节目主持人……乃至政府首脑、皇家成员,个个胸前一朵红色小花。于是你恍然大悟:一年一度的“罂粟花之日”———那历史性的“11月11日”已近在眼前。
