范文
My father's family were all town dwellers but my mother's family had been farmers for generations. My grandfather died in his 50s otherwise he would have taught me many of his skills.
Today's farming is highly mechanised and most farmers do their own repairs and welding. However, there is one skill that farmers leave to experts and that is the building of walls around fields. In the south of England the land is good and the fields are divided up by hedges made of hawthorn or box. In the north of England the land is poor, steep and rocky and so stone walls separate the fields.
The person I want to tell you about is a man called Edward Falshaw, a friend of my grandfather, who was known to everyone in the local patois as" Owd Ned" (Old Edward) he was the best wall maker for miles around. The walls are called" Dry Stone Walls" and use no mortar to hold them together, just the weight of the stone. The walls start off wide at the bottom with two rows of large stones and smaller stones are put in the middle. At intervals larger stone go right across the wall to hold it together. At the top larger stones keep water from going into the wall. The walls breathe and insects such as bumble bees live in them and when it snows, sheep can huddle against the wall to protect them from the wind. Even if the snow covers them, they can still breathe.
Ned was a joy to watch working; he could look at hundreds of stones all around him and pick just the right one to fill a space. He never hurried and promised that the walls he built would be still standing a hundred years after he had died. The ones I watched him built are certainly standing after 60 years. I learned the gift of patience and the importance of thinking before acting from Old Ned. He never worked to a timetable and there was always a sense of calm around him. He seemed to be able to sum up people's characters very well and any advice given was always good.
When I am out walking in my locality, I often stop and look at a dry stone wall. Some have not been well built and I think" Ned would never have built a wall like this." At other times, I see walls that must have been standing for well over 150 years with no maintenance and I wonder "if the guy who built this taught Owd Ned?"
There is something timeless about ancient crafts that gives you a sense of your own worth in history.
我父親的家庭都是城鎮(zhèn)居民,但我母親的家庭世代都是農(nóng)民。我祖父50多歲就去世了,否則他會教我很多他的技能。
今天的農(nóng)業(yè)高度機(jī)械化,大多數(shù)農(nóng)民自己修理和焊接。然而,農(nóng)民有一項技能留給了專家,那就是在田地周圍筑墻。在英格蘭南部,土地肥沃,田野被山楂或盒子做成的樹籬隔開。在英格蘭北部,土地貧瘠、陡峭且多巖石,因此石墻將田地隔開。
我想告訴你的是一個叫愛德華·福爾肖的人,他是我祖父的朋友,當(dāng)?shù)厝硕贾浪小癘wd Ned”(老愛德華),他是幾英里內(nèi)最好的墻匠。這些墻被稱為“干石墻”,不使用灰漿將它們固定在一起,只使用石頭的重量。墻壁底部寬起,有兩排大石頭,小石頭放在中間。每隔一段時間,較大的石頭會穿過墻壁,將其固定在一起。在頂部,較大的石頭可以防止水進(jìn)入墻內(nèi)。墻壁會呼吸,像大黃蜂這樣的昆蟲生活在里面,當(dāng)下雪時,綿羊會蜷縮在墻壁上以保護(hù)自己免受風(fēng)的侵襲。即使雪覆蓋了他們,他們?nèi)匀豢梢院粑?/p>
奈德看著工作是一種樂趣;他可以看著周圍數(shù)以百計的石頭,挑一塊合適的石頭填滿一個空間。他從不匆忙,并承諾自己修建的城墻在他去世一百年后仍將屹立不倒。我看著他建造的那些肯定在60年后依然屹立不倒。我從老內(nèi)德那里學(xué)到了耐心的天賦和行動前思考的重要性。他從不按時間表工作,周圍總是有一種平靜的感覺。他似乎能夠很好地總結(jié)人們的性格,給出的任何建議都是好的。
當(dāng)我在當(dāng)?shù)厣⒉綍r,我經(jīng)常停下來看看一堵干石墻。有些墻建得不好,我想“奈德決不會建這樣的墻。”在其他時候,我看到的墻壁肯定已經(jīng)矗立了150多年,沒有任何維護(hù),我想知道“建造這座墻的人是否教過Owd Ned?”
古代手工藝有一些永恒的東西,讓你感覺到自己在歷史上的價值。
