许其正：葡萄

一串串葡萄垂挂着，颗粒累累，在枝叶间，在支架上……。

在枝叶间，在支架上，垂挂着，一串串：紫葡萄、绿葡萄、白葡萄……。

垂挂着，从小小的颗粒开始，从瘦瘦的身段开始，从皱皱的表皮开始，从酸酸的味道开始，从极轻极轻开始，从生涩生涩开始，渐次生长，越生长颗粒越大，越生长越浑圆，越生长果肉越饱满，越生长味道越甜蜜，越生长越有重量，越生长越成熟……。

啊，终于成熟了！

一串串，一颗颗，甜而多汁，入口即化，不需费什么劲去咬嚼，是大自然灵气的集合，天真地秀、日月光华的凝聚，是造物的巧手亲自调理精制而成的。那会是多么神奇的真滋味！

一串串，一颗颗，晶质的，微微透出晶光。是柑橘汁？是柠檬露？是草莓霜？是蕃茄酱？是杏仁豆腐？……

哇！好美呀！一串串，一颗颗，是白玉？是翡翠？是晶石？是翠玉？是如意？是宝石？是真珠？……

令人想起，佳人襟上、胸前、臂间、手腕、手指所戴的宝玉、真珠、戒指、手镯……。

一串串葡萄垂挂着，颗粒累累……啊，那是一串串葡萄珠串！

The Grape  Hsu ChiCheng

There are cluster after cluster of grape hang down from the branches, from the frameworks, a grain after a grain…

From the branches, from the frameworks, hang down, a cluster and cluster, the purple grape, the green grape, the white grape…

Hang down, begins from the little grain, begins from the thin and small body, from the crape skin, from the sour, from the thinnest and thinnest, from unripe, grows slowly, bigger and bigger while growing, rounder and rounder while growing, plumper and plumper while growing, sweeter and sweeter while growing, more and more in weight while growing, more and more mature while growing…

Oh, it’s mature at last!

A cluster after a cluster, a grain after a grain, the grape is sweet and juicy, just melt in the mouth, don’t need to bite laborously, it’s the collection of nature sovereign remedy, the collection of grandeur of the universe, is refined intensively by Creator himself. How wonderful is the true taste!

A cluster after a cluster, a grain after a grain, it’s crystal, shines little crystalline light. Is it the juice of orange? Is it the dew of lemon? Is it the frost of strawberry? Is it the tomato sauce? Annin tofu?…

Wow! How great the cluster and grain! Is it the white jade? Is it the jadeite? Is it the crystal? Is it the green jade? Is it the ruyi? Is it the gem or the pearl?…

It let me think of the gem, pearl, ring, bracelet which wears on beautiful woman’s front of a garment, breast, arm, trick and finger…

There are cluster after cluster of grape hang down, a grain after a grain…oh, it’s a cluster after cluster of pearl of the grape! @
