Why should we learn to swim?
Firstly, swimming is a good exercise for our health. Indeed doctors say it is the best exercise, because in swimming all the muscles of the body are used.
Secondly, swimming gives great pleasure. How nice it is, on a hot dusty day in summer, to take off one’s clothes and dive into the cool water of a rive or the sea, and to swim and float until one feels enough.
Thirdly, swimming may sometimes mean all the different between life and death, we never know when we may be in danger from water. We got on a voyage, and the ship in wrecked; we go for a pleasure sail on a lake and the boat turns over; we slip as we are walking along the bank of a river, and half in the water. If we can swim, we have chance for saving our own lives, but if we cannot swim, we are pretty certain to be drowned. So for our own safety, we should learn to swim.
Lastly, if we can swim, we may be able to save other people from drowning. How sad it is to see a friend drowning before our eyes while we cannot help just because we cannot swim.

行走的成年礼
李晋
①记得在拉萨布达拉宫的广场上碰到一个朋友,他羡慕我的年轻,说自己如果能早几年来拉萨,他的人生必将是不同的景致。可是现实中的牵绊已经不允许他重新来过,因此他的生活中留下了永远的遗憾。
②我喜欢旅行中坐在长途车上产生的错觉,它赋予我平日里没有的敏感。我相信人们在行走中会变得聪明,因为4年来我几乎所有重要的决定,都是在旅行中做出的,我在不同的文化间寻找着自己,那种浪漫与坚持,有点像少年的游戏。
③日常生活总是单调而枯燥的,在不断的模仿与复制中,人们很容易迷失自己,只有车窗外那不断变幻的风景,还在以一种镜像,映射出我的存在。于是在行走的背后,每个人都不由得变得坚强,我们不断地反思过去,寻找着超越的可能。
④当原本的厌倦与懈怠从身上剥离时,我们在旅行中便实现了对自我的回归。那是一种奇妙的境界,把生命带回到初始时的样子,它是如此清新,一尘不染。我们在行走中还能接触到其他人,接触和吸收异域的新鲜文化,这种文化间的相逢,同样给一个人的生活方向提供无限可能。
⑤旅行赋予我们新生,它为我们描绘出一幅奇异的影像,那里有生命的原初和价值的多元。记得巴西作家保罗·科埃略曾写道:当你旅行的时候。会以一种实在的方式体验到再生的过程。你会遇到全新的环境,时间也因此变得缓慢。而且在大多数时候,你甚至不知道那里的语言,所以在旅行时,你就像一个刚刚离开子宫的孩子。
⑥人类学家在讲述人生礼仪时,把它当作一种“转变的仪式”,当仪式结束,参与者便完成了身份的转变。非洲部落里的少年,总是独自一人被驱赶着走进草原,当他们筋疲力尽地归来时,便完成了自身的“成年礼”。人类学家特纳曾指出,这个过程让你从熟悉的环境里走出来,在仪式中经历嬗变。这应该是种混沌、模糊、而又异常神圣的情绪,它让一个人在内心矛盾与时光的消逝中迎接新生。
⑦无论是部落里的少年,还是群岛上的土著,他们都是在陌生的环境里体会生命的冲动。这就好像那些朝圣者,每每从熟悉的生活里走出。当“朝觐(cháojìn,指宗教徒拜谒圣像、圣地等)之旅”开始时,他们便摆脱了与过去的纠缠。这些人披荆斩棘、历尽艰难,在漫长的隐忍后,终于实现了灵魂的重生。这样的朝圣必然是一场孤独、倔强,甚至有些残酷的蜕变过程,如凤凰涅槃(nièpán,指佛教用语,指超脱生死的境界),浴火而生。
⑧人类朝圣和旅行,有着结构上的相似,它们都是和旧有生活的告别,同样在行走中期待着新生。人们在内心动力的驱使下,开始去寻找异己的世界,这种寻找有时有几分偏执。缘于对重生的那份热切的渴望。而仿佛只有在差异中,我们才能不断实现对自身的反省。由此来看,当我们不断地踏上旅途,把自己置身于异乡陌生的环境时,旅行之于我们,其实是一场人生的朝圣
