[分享]狗的礼赞

[分享]狗的礼赞

《狗的礼赞》源于1870年发生在美国密苏里州的一起由狗引起法律官司。居住在沃伦斯堡的波特先生饲养着一只名叫“老鼓”的猎犬,波特先生十分喜爱“老鼓”,但是一天晚上,“老鼓”跑到了波特先生的好友杭斯贝先生的后院中,被杭斯贝先生开枪打死了。失去“老鼓”的波特先生十分悲痛,一纸状文将邻居杭斯贝先生告到了法院。这场官司一直打到了最高法院,在终审时,参议员佛斯特先生代表波特在法庭上向法官和陪审团朗读了一篇动人的奇文《狗的礼赞》,全文如下:

 各位陪审官:在这个世界上,一个人的好友可能和他作对,变成

敌人;他用慈爱培养起来的儿女也可能变得不忠不孝、那些最感密

切和亲近的人,那些用全部幸福和名誉所痴信的人,都可能会舍弃

忠诚而成叛逆。一个人所拥有的金钱可能在最需要的时候插翅飞

走;一个人的声誉可能断送在考虑欠周的一瞬间、那些一贯在我们

成功时屈膝奉承的人,很可能就是当失败的阴云笼罩在我们头上

时,投掷第一块阴险恶毒之石的人。在这个自私的世界上,一个人

唯一不自私的朋友,不抛弃他的朋友,唯一不忘恩负义的朋友,就

是他的狗。不管主人贫困或富贵,健康或病弱,狗会守在主人的身

旁。只要能靠近主人,不管地面冰凉坚硬,寒风凛冽,大雪纷飞,

它都会全然不顾地趟在主人身边。哪怕主人无食喂养,它仍会舔主

人的手和主人手上因抵御这个冷酷的世界而受的创伤。纵然主人是

乞丐,它也象守护王子一样伴随着他。当他所有的朋友都调头而

去,它却义无反顾。当财富消失,声誉扫地时,它对主人的爱依然

如天空运行不息的太阳一样永恒不变。假若因命运的捉弄,它的主

人变成一个无家可归的流浪者,这只忠诚的狗也会依然陪伴主人,

有难同当,对抗敌人,此外毫无奢求。当万物共同的结局来临,死

神夺去了主人的生命,尸体掩埋在冰冷的地下时,纵使所有的亲友

都各奔前程,而这只高贵的狗却会独自守卫在墓旁。它仰首于两足

之间,眼睛里充满悲伤,却仍机警地守护着忠情,忠贞不渝,直到

死亡。

法官和陪审团都被这篇千古难寻的奇文所感动,许多人流下了热泪。最终波特胜诉,被告杭斯贝负责赔偿500美元结案。此案在当时非常引人关注,社会影响力极大,《犬的礼赞》更成为全世界 养犬爱好者所钟爱的诗篇,至今仍有强烈的感染力。后来,当地人又将这篇千古奇文刻在了专为“老鼓”建立的纪念碑上.

书里有这样一段描写:藏獒对我们哥俩很冷漠,从来不会冲我们摇头摆尾。我们也不喜欢它,半个月以后用它换了一只哈巴狗。父亲很生气,却没有让我们换回它来。过了两天,小藏獒自己跑回来了。父亲咧嘴笑着对我们说:“我早就知道它会回来。这就叫忠诚,知道吗?”

原文

A Tribute to the Dog 
    "A dog is the only thing on earth that will love you more than you love yourself." ...Josh Billings
     Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends, the animals, especially for animals who are suffering; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death. We entreat for them Thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion, gentle hands, and kindly words. Make us to be true friends to animals and so to share the blessings of the merciful.
    Albert Schweitzer 
    he best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its' clouds upon our heads.
    The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master, as if he were a prince.When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its' journey through the heavens.
    If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger to fight his enemies; and when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its' embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.

当我们对动物的爱成为了一种习惯,小生灵们获得的小小幸福,就会升华成人类永久的幸福!

想起博比。。外国狗狗真幸福。至少被尊重。
我只是历史的过客,目标渺茫,无地自容,没有世界大战可以经历,也没有经济大萧条可以恐慌。我的战争,不过是内心之战。
