乘着这一叶扁舟慢慢向前滑行,河两边的精美建筑物一个一个地从身边划过,小船的船帮是很浅的,双手随便就可以伸到水里,河水碧绿清澈,明亮而纯净,若不是船行经过弄起波浪层层,打破了它的宁静,那镜子般的水面会让人误以为是连接两个学院的玻璃桥梁。
顺着河道一路漂移,便来到了剑桥大学的中心国王学院,撑篙的帅小伙给我们介绍说,它是由亨利六世于1441年创建,因此学院的绿地上伫立着亨利六世的青铜像。经济学家凯恩斯,诗人徐志摩都曾就读于国王学院。在《再别康桥》诞生80周年的纪念日子,剑桥大学国王学院在剑河畔为徐志摩立下了大理石诗碑,上面镌刻着那两句著名的诗句:“轻轻的我走了,正如我轻轻的来。”“我挥一挥衣袖,不带走一片云彩。”这块诗碑在我们第二天进去参观国王学院的时候,不经意中发现它就在剑桥边的草地上,不大不小的一块石头,上面的字体很是娟秀,似乎还透着一抹淡淡的忧伤……镌刻诗句的石碑被切出两个平面,《再别康桥》的前两句和后两句分别放在参差错落的两个平面上,意在指出这相隔的四句诗之间还有很多字句,很多故事。
其中有一个有趣的小细节,就是当我们的船长小帅哥说到徐志摩的名字的时候,他礼貌微笑地看着我,朝我点点头,那意思就是‘你肯定知道的’,大概因为我们是船上仅有的中国人,他一定知道徐志摩对我们的影响,知道他是我们华人引以为傲的名人。
小船吃水很浅,船舱也狭窄,我们几乎是半躺在座位的,这样更有安全感。也正因为如此,视线所及之处好似与水面平行,很容易产生幻觉,这是坐在水上漂吗?随着身边那寸寸美景组成的一幅幅精美油画长卷的展开,此情此景,令人陶醉其中,陷入遐思…剑河上有很多桥,每一座桥都历史悠久,意义非凡,都有着自己的故事和独特的魅力,前面便来到了那人尽皆知的叹息桥,整座桥身的外观呈浅黄色,连接着河道两旁圣·约翰学院的建筑楼,它建于1831年,连接了该学院的老庭(The Old Cout)与新庭。它类似一座廊桥,分上中下三层,下层是半个椭圆形的桥孔,横跨于剑河之上;中间是一条通道,也就是长廊;与其他长廊不同的地方是它的道面不是平直的,而且拱形的,因此行人过桥是要走上下坡的,很有意思。桥的两边是半封闭的,可以用来遮挡风雨,相互对称的五对用钢筋护栏的拱顶水泥框架的玻璃窗,用来采光;上层是平顶,类似一般水泥大桥的桥面,顶面的两边均衡地耸立着相互呼应的塔尖装饰。看上去结构比数学桥要复杂得多,那一扇扇很有感觉的小窗户是哥特式建筑的特点;据说叹息桥是专给临近期末考试的学生们来抒发情绪的,也许站到桥上,看着剑河水长叹一声便能释放压力,治疗考前焦虑吧?!如果你到过意大利威尼斯,那么你一定记得在通往圣马可广场的路上同样有一座叹息桥,传说那桥是赴刑场的犯人必经之地,过了那座桥就进入万劫不复之地了,所以那些身陷囹圄,带着手铐脚镣的犯人都会在桥上稍事停留,一声叹息,道出了对前事的悔恨,感叹一下人生的短暂……同为叹息桥,承载着的却是太多不一样的人生情怀!
美景如画,本身就充满了无限的诗意,再加上历史的韵味,这次地,怎一个惬意了得。

This place is very calm and beautiful at the same time and also perfect for those who are in need of inner piece,
Those bridges are very beautifully crafted and the blue Crystal Clear Water makes it more magical to see and the architecture of these colleges is also very beautiful,
Well it's quite interesting to know that you are the only Chinese persons on the board.

I do like the words you used, ‘the blue Crystal Clear Water’, that is exactly the river was. And also ‘water makes it more magical’. That’s awesome! You are the real poet!👍👏
