美文赏析 沉默 Silence

　　Silence

　　引言：

　　沉默本身也是一种思想和心境的流露，是灵魂的另一种形式的回声。

　　Indeed, for a living thing there is no such thing as true silence, for silence itself is a revelation of the mind and the heart, an echo of the soul of a different form.

　　Some people use silence as a disguise of the emptiness of the head.

　　Some use it as a means to depict their disorientation and melancholy.

　　And some use it as a way of expressing their angers and sorrows.

　　...

　　Silence usually is ephemeral. It reminds one of the bronze bells dangling from a pagoda's eaves; on windless days they are a decoration upon the age-weathered beauty, but with wind they give out wonderful tinkling and jingling metallurgic sounds, as if echoing age-old stories of long, long ago...

　　Do you not think the same of silent people?

　　They say that "silence is golden", but of what nature is this "gold"? It can include integrity, honesty and kindness; it can stand for indifference to and detachment from fame and fortune; but it can also act as an excuse for hypocrisy, slyness and cowardice... the glittering of gold may not necessarily be the most brilliant lustre in the world.
