身残志不残

by  

“身残志不残”是肢体健全者们对肢体残障者们很俗套的一种褒扬。听多了习以为常,也就没有太多的感动,好像事情本来就应该这样。若是哪一个缺胳膊少腿的终日怨天忧人,颓废度日倒显得不正常了。

话虽这么说,毕竟在自己的身边没有真正意义上的肢体残障者,所以对“身残志不残”的理解大多是局限在远距离的感受。主要的演绎和印证来源于报刊杂志等媒体。直到那一年的春晚,亲眼看到聋哑姑娘们表演的“千手观音”,整齐划一,美轮美奂,很是震撼。也是从那一次开始,残疾者这个词从我的字典中开除,平时言谈时所有涉及残疾者的地方,统统改用残障者代替。我觉得,这是对肢体残障者们最起码的尊重。

在北美生活久了,亲眼看到全社会对残障者的尊重和关心已经形成了一种约定俗成的风尚,一种平等的人权的尊重,一种最基本的道德标准。在所有的公共场所,残障者都享有绝对的优先权,没有人会因此抱怨,也没有人设法去沾这种优先权的便宜。若是真有人这么做,那也是壮不起胆的事情,没有人会认可的。

也许是因为这样一种平等的生存大环境使然,北美的残障者大都比较阳光,自信,乐于参加各种各样丰富多彩的活动,其中也包括了娱乐活动。别的不说,就说在冬季的滑雪场上,我几乎每次都能看到他们的身影。在滑雪场上,通常一个残障者至少有两个健全者陪同,而这两个陪同者大多是滑雪场上的义工。不知有多少次,我排在他们的后面等着乘缆车上山,心里总会想:若是在自己的家园,那个遥远的国度,人们看到这样的情景一定会抱怨:都残了,还不老老实实在家呆着,折腾什么呢?自己受罪不说,还让别人跟着,烦不烦!每每想到这里,我总会在心里叹息,不知是为家乡还是为眼前。


前几天,在雪场看见一位盲人滑雪,印象很深。这位盲人很年轻健壮,滑雪技巧也娴熟,两位志愿者一前一后陪伴着。前面的那位引路,后面的那位保护。他们三个在难度大的黑道上自如地滑行,那么和谐,真得让我佩服。我不知道他们三个之间是用什么联络方式来保证那种和谐,但真的是很动人。尤其是那位盲人自信的神态给我留下很深的印象。

我坐在缆车上自言自语:瞧,这就是身残志不残。

I suppose it depends on how you look at it. There’s usually another way.

That is one know-how that I would love to have the ability to use for myself. It’s positively a minimize above the remaining and I can’t wait until my provider has it. Your perception was what I needed. Thanks

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
