为 了 让 父 亲 高 兴


格雷戈里?H?海明威




（1）那年夏天在哈瓦那，我读了爸爸最爱看的那些小说，从《哈克贝里?费恩历险记》到《一位青年艺术家的肖像》。像他一样，有时我两三部小说同时看。后来爸爸指导我阅读短篇小说大师莫伯桑和契诃夫。"不要劳神去作分析-----只管身心放松，好好欣赏就行。"
"听着，"一天上午爸爸说。"你自己试着写一篇短篇小说。可别指望会写得怎么好。"我拿起爸爸的一支笔头尖尖的铅笔，在桌前坐
了下来，想了又想。我望着窗外，听着鸟儿鸣唱，听着一只想要和鸟儿待在一起的猫拼命叫着；还听着铅笔在纸上乱涂乱画的磨擦声。我把猫放出去。另有一只猫想进来。
我走到爸爸的打字机旁。那天他已经用过打字机，不会再用了。我慢慢地打出了一篇小说，随后拿去给他看。
爸爸戴上眼镜，给自己又倒了杯饮料，接着读小说，我等在一旁。他读完小说，抬头看着我。"太棒了，吉格。比我在你这个年龄时能写的任何东西都好得多。我想改的唯一地方在这儿，"我指着一行文字，描写的是一只鸟从巢里跌落下来，却惊奇地发现只要振动双翅，就不会撞落在下面的岩石上。
"你写道……'All of a sudden（突然之间）它意识到自己会飞了。'把'all of a sudden（突然之间）'改成'suddenly（突然）'。（2）决不用不必要的字----否则会妨碍故事情节的自然展开。"爸爸笑容满面。我她长时间没见到他这么对我笑了。"不过你交上好运了，伙计。写作需要学习、训练，还有想象力。你已经用这篇小说向我表明，你具有想象力。如果你能有一次发挥想象力，你就能上千次地去发挥它。想象力在很长时间内都不会离开你，也许永远也不离开。陀思妥耶夫斯基写《罪与罚》时已经57岁了。
"天哪，过去在基韦斯特，人们给我看他们的作品，每当我读了一页，便能断定他们没有想象力，永远也不会有想象力时，我真感到悲哀。我回了每一封该死的信，常常写道，要写得好主要得靠运气，拥有某种了不起的才能就好比是中了机率仅为百万分之一的大奖；要是你没这个福分，人世间所有的研习和自我约束都不会管用。要是他们信中有'人人都说我会成为一个杰出的机械师，可我真正想干的是写作'这类话，我就会回信说，'也许有人没有说错，你可能会成为一个优秀的机械师，所以忘了写作这回事，庆幸自己从未涉足其间吧。'
"我写了上百封这样的信，那些日子里我的稿酬可是1美元一个字啊。
"后来信越来越多，我就把回信缩短为'写作是个艰苦的行当。（3）尽可能不要卷进去。'他们可能想，'那个自以为是的混蛋也许压根儿没读我写的东西。（4）就因为他自己会写，就拼命排斥别人。'
"重要的是，吉格，现在我可以教你了，因为你具备了必要的工具。我可以毫不谦虚地说，我很了解这一行。
"很久以来我就想少写一些了。写作对我来说不再是那么轻而易举了。可帮助你学习写作，我就跟自己写作一样高兴。让我们来喝一杯，庆祝一下。"
我只记得一次爸爸对我这么满意过----当时我跟别人获得并列射鸽子冠军。后来我用这篇短篇小说
参加学校作文比赛，并获得一等奖的时候，他自信地以为家里又出了个文坛高手。
得那个第一名的应该是屠格涅夫。他写了那篇短篇小说。我不过是从一本书里抄袭了这个故事，把背景和人名改了，我猜爸爸还没读过这本书，因为有不少页仍粘连在一起。
（5）我没觉得自己是个获奖者，而是在想，不知什么时候爸爸会发现，我对那篇小说所作的唯一创造性贡献便是将"suddenly"改成了"all of a sudden"。
爸爸发现我的剽窃行为时，我很幸运地不在场。我听说是有人问他，他儿子格雷戈里搞不搞写作。他兴致勃勃、神采飞扬地回答说"写的，"脸上闪现出一种拍照时做出来的笑容，他有时会做出这种笑容。"格雷戈里偶尔会写张空头支票。"当然，大家都哈哈大笑。
那群人中也许有人会想，"真是个狠心的家伙，竟然对自己的儿子开这种冷酷的玩笑。想来我听说过的那些说他是个执迷不悟的恶棍的传闻都是真的。
执迷不悟，没错，可我帮着造成了这种执迷不悟。
