畅想海德堡

说起德国，你会想到什么？是莱茵河畔的古堡、葡萄园的美景，还是Lorelri和鼠塔（Mouse Tower）的传说，或者是慕尼黑、斯图加特的啤酒节狂欢夜，是康德、叔本华、黑格尔、马克思的哲学思想，还是贝多芬、巴赫、勃拉姆斯、舒曼的传世之作？那么说到海德堡呢？是德国最古老的大学，哲学家路（Philosophenweg） ，黑格尔、歌德、海涅、席勒这些风流才子和哲学大师的传说。

有人说，海德堡是德国最美丽的城市，仿佛格林童话中的世界，有人说海德堡是大学包围城市的真正大学城；还有人推荐婚礼一定要在海德堡举行，因为海德堡是浪漫德国的缩影，或许这一关节咱倒是错过了。我没有去过海德堡，在网上浏览德国风情，却很快被海德堡吸引了。

诗人曾留下诗句，“我心失落在海德堡……”，龙应台也曾《在海德堡坠入情网》，她究竟以怎样的风姿和美丽吸引了如此多的赞誉和流连？我畅想，但我知道，吸引人的不仅仅是图片中那青山绿水、白墙红瓦、石桥、教堂和古堡……

I Lost My Heart in Heidelberg


I Lost My Heart in Heidelberg’s fair city,

‘t was in a gentle summer night,

I was in love, so deep in love entangled,

Her rosebud mouth was laughing with delight.

When at the gates at last we sadly parted,

I kissed farewell her knowing in the end:

My heart was lost in Heidelberg for ever,

My heart still beats at the Neckar strand.

On evening I remember, I was not twenty yet,

Her hair was light and golden, the lips I Kissed so red.

The air was blue and blissfull, the Neckar a silver sea,

And then I Knew, and then I knew,

What the matter was with me.

Again is on the Neckar the wine in Blossom, as then,

the years have been a-passing, I am a lonely man.

And if you ask the fellow why he did no one find,

I told you, friends, I told you friends,

what there is on my mind.

What has become of you, dear, since I had to be wise,

Old Heidelberg, so beautiful, you German Paradise!

I went away in sorrow, left happiness, ease and wine,

I think of you, I long for you,

you are my “auld lang syne”!

据说海德堡这座古城在二战盟军的轰炸中完存，是得益于一位校友将军，欲选此城作为指挥部。校庆在即，不禁自问我们作为校友为学校做过什么？哑然……将来吧，just miss the boat for another time.
