The moment a newborn opens its eyes, discovery begins. I learned this with a laugh one morning after delivering a calf. When it lifted up its fluffy head and looked at me, its eyes held the absolute bewilderment of the newly born. A moment before it had the even black nowhere of the womb, and suddenly its world was full of color, movement and noise. I've never seen anything so shocked to be alive.
新生兒睜開雙眼的那一刻起,發(fā)現(xiàn)也就開始了。我是在一天清晨給一頭小牛犢接生的時(shí)候突然意識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)的,不禁大笑。小牛仰起毛茸茸的腦袋看著我,目光中透出這個(gè)新生命對(duì)世界的一無所知。片刻這前,它還呆在母體里某個(gè)黑暗而平靜的地方,突然,它的世界變得五光十色,變得活潑而喧鬧。我從未見過任何東西在獲得生命時(shí)是如些的驚異。
