太平山顶有一块蟾蜍石

(一)

剩两月了:邱吉尔的酒馆关门,喝不完的啤酒运回伦敦;接着,牧童遥指的酒高高挂灯笼、挂酒旗,一埕埕的董酒飘散着幽幽的芳香。候,北京、台北、香港的报纸杂志纷纷函电约稿,你的笑声,你的泪影,你的回忆,你的感,你的恐惧,你的兴奋,你的惆怅,你的企盼。杯盘狼藉,添酒回灯前,历史的倒影撒满港九间的海面。维利亚女王曳的长裙缓缓消失在皇中的拐弯处,邓平的布鞋悄悄步展中那边的舞台,文武百官亦步亦趋。一瞬间,你的是,W H Auden一九三八年咏香港的诗句:

Its leading characters are wise and witty,Their suits well tailored,and they wear them well,Have many a polished parable to tell about the mores of a trading city.

回借的方。回借的间。一九七七年,Edward Heath 在Travels,People and Places in My Life说,他在香港问人说,有什话我带回英国吗?他异口同声答:“有,不阻止我展示我在香港做的绩”(“Yes,”they said in chorus."don''t stop us showing how well we do in Hong kong")。二晚,他碰一位年轻的英国人,了另外一情。那英国人告诉他说:“不再不停的赚钱了,他搞太不健康了。不再让他搞了。”希斯的原文写很生动:

"It''s got to be stopped,it''s got to be stopped," he said.

"What''s this?" I asked,fearing some frightful sdal was about to be revealed.

"All this money marking has got to be stopped,"he said."it''s not healthy for them.They mustn''t be allowed to go on runing things this way."

是,鲁平说:“了一九九七年七月一日,你一觉醒,将现窗外飘五星旗你的紫荆花区旗,但除此外,香港是原的香港”:炒楼炒股的照炒楼炒股,赚钱达的照赚钱达。香港二十八位总督彭定康前几在一商人午餐说:“世界吹消沉悲观的风气,欧洲、英国甚至在一定程度国的政治受其感染;香港幸有态。在欧洲、在国,靠处证明无就谋生;谈论无的明证者,生计尤其佳。”(“I think that what Hong Kong happily lacks is that sort of world weary icism which has had su effect,I think, on European and British and to some extent on Ameri politics.You make a living in Europe or America proving that nothing be done.you make an eveer living,enting on proving that nothing be done”)。香港丽的传奇就在酒馆的红灯绿酒间流传,像神话。於是,你另一则神话:香港山脚的蟾蜍石一寸一寸向挪动,挪太平山顶的那一,香港就回归中国了。那是年前在香港教书的许山教授说的。
