金陵爱情故事(95)
“呦,什么这么宝贵还不让看,意义非同一般啊,定情信物?”
“哪有……普通链子而已,就普通链子……”
夏冉江把挂链收好放在手里,凑在嘴边小心地吹干净上面的灰尘,发现哆啦A梦的浮雕状铃铛居然撞斜了,上面的黄漆脱落了一点,漏出了银白底,夏冉江只觉得心里像是被什么刺痛了一下。
终于到了赛场。两人互相整理了一下衣服,昂首挺胸地走了进去。刚进门,透过玻璃窗,夏冉江看到一个熟悉的身影,正在给他的对手打气。
“看,那是谁。”
许菁手肘捅了捅夏冉江,面不改色地盯着窗外,咬着牙齿说道。夏冉江微微侧过头,顺着许菁充满杀气的眼神望过去——果然是昨天的女裁判。
坐定后,许菁轻轻地拍了拍夏冉江垂下的手臂,朝着夏冉江微微点头,夏冉江心领神会,双手捏紧拳头又慢慢放开,搭在桌台上。
裁判上前,宣读了规则。夏冉江接过裁判递过来的硬币,紧紧地攥在手心。
一个漂亮地抛物线,硬币叮地一声落在地板上,跳跃、翻转,最终安静地躺在会场中间。
“Yes!”
看到硬币正面朝上,夏冉江刚才拧成一股乱麻的心情现在却慢慢有些兴奋,转头瞥了一眼许菁,朝许菁抖了抖眉毛,许菁正双手搭成一个金字塔形,拇指托住下巴,紧锁的眉头慢慢舒展开。
例行介绍后,比赛开始。夏冉江作为正方一辩首先阐述观点。
夏冉江微微挺起胸脯,感受到了西装内侧口袋里的挂链。挂链的轮廓嵌入左侧胸肌,随着心脏起伏,金属在肌体的温度中似乎慢慢融化,分子渗入每个细胞中。一股莫名的力量如同强心剂一般注入身体,仿佛此刻站在台上的不只是夏冉江一个人。不再犹豫寡断,不再敏感多虑,不再沉默黯然,再次站起来时,夏冉江有种醍醐灌顶的感觉,如凤凰涅槃般摒弃烈火焚身的伤痛与无助,脱胎换骨。
进入到自由辩论环节,反方开始发动第一轮攻击。
“As a heterosexual, do you think it’s acceptable if another man physically approaches you?”(作为异性恋,难道你认为男人在身体上对你进行侵犯是可以接受的吗?)
“No. Same answer to approach of another woman. This is an issue of human rights, not human behavior.”(不可接受。同理,女人对男人进行侵犯也是不可接受的。今天讨论的是人权,而非行为。)
夏冉江据理还击。只是当他说出这段话时,内心深处不知被什么东西刺痛了一下,一时竟乱了思绪。
“You mentioned many recent examples of movements fighting for gay marriage. We thank you for your share of such knowledge. But as you stated, such movements are frequent in some developed countries, United States, Germany, Spain. These countries accept gay marriage due to their high-level economic and cultural advancements. That’s why we don’t believe it feasible to legalize gay marriage in our country as well.”(对方辩友刚才提到了众多近年来发生的同性婚姻平权运动,感谢您为我们普及了知识。正如您所说,这些平权运动更多地是在美国、德国、西班牙等发达国家发生,这些国家经济水平和文化水平较高,因此能够接受同性婚姻。但是我们认为,我们国家尚不到程度,不能像这些国家那样立法通过同性婚姻。)
“First of all, these recent examples are just some typical ones in history. Second, to legalize gay marriage or not has nothing to do with economic and cultural factors. It’s all about people’s awareness of basic human rights. Even in China, we have gay anecdotes that helps to define the culture, even in more than a thousand years ago. To make an exaggerated cultural comparison, we value the love and even marriage between a snake and human, between a ghost and human, between a god and human, what’s is actually the problem with the love between human and human?”(首先,我所提到的案例仅仅是历史上比较典型的部分。其次,同性婚姻是否立法通过跟经济和文化因素无关,这取决于人们对基本人权的认识。即使在千百年前的中国,同性关系的故事也传为佳话,成为中国文化的一部分。退一万步来看,在我们的文化中我们欣赏人蛇恋,欣赏人鬼恋,欣赏人神恋,为什么不能接受人和人之间的爱情?)
许菁密切关注双方交锋,手里在纸上记着关键词。刚抬起头,正好碰见三名裁判听到这里微微点头,也在评分表上记着什么。
“Seems that you are quite familiar with Chinese culture. But we see from Chinese culture that gay relationship is against the basic principles. In Taoi□□, everything in the world follows Yin and Yang. Yin or Yang does not grow alone. This is the same with human. Love between man and woman ensures the continuation of human destiny, not between man and man or woman between woman.”(对方辩友对中国文化相当了解。可是实际上中国文化的定义里,同性恋关系是与部分基本准则相悖的。道教认为,世间万物遵循阴阳,独阳不生,独阴不长。人类也不例外。男女之间的情爱保证人类命运得以延续,而同性之间的情爱无法做到。)
