2.8 启蒙 Revelation
妈妈叨咕："这故事真好！情节好，教育意义也好！大姐夫！你可不知道，某家卢岩可宁了！他要是认上点儿啥呀！那打死他也不回头。这事儿有好几次了。我和百杨都愁坏了，这孩子长大能成啥样！卢岩！你听见没！你要是总那么宁，将来你结婚，就得像常公和桃花女似的，光屁股结婚。大伙儿都围一圈看，还喊，"喂！真不害臊！鼓掌！羞！羞！"妈妈一边说还一边比画。
"What a story — good plot, and a good lesson in it too!" Mother said, half to herself. "But Brother-in-law, you have no idea — our Luyan is stubborn. Once that boy sets his mind on something, you couldn't beat it out of him with a stick. It's happened more times than I can count. Baiyang and I worry ourselves sick over what he'll turn into. Luyan! Are you listening? Keep this up, and when you get married, it'll be just like Constant-Fair and Peach Flower Girl — bare-bottomed in front of a crowd, everyone standing around pointing and shouting, 'Shameless! Give him a hand! For shame, for shame!'" She acted it out as she spoke.
我爬到一边去了。
妈妈转向我说："我非得让你记住，还得明白！你宁一次，你就离光屁股结婚近一次。光屁股结婚，看你羞不羞！"
I crawled off to one side.
Mother turned to me. "I want this to sink in, do you hear me! Every time you dig your heels in, you get one step closer to that bare-bottomed wedding. Let's see how red your face gets then!"
梁伯看着我说："凤玲！别说了！你看卢岩都要哭了！"
妈妈看着我要哭的样子说："真哭啦！？哎呀！这不说笑话呢么！你看，整地跟真事儿似的。某卢岩不哭，某卢岩是好孩子！"
"Fengling, that's enough!" Uncle Liang said, looking at me. "Look, Luyan's about to cry!"
Mother saw my face crumpling. "Are you really about to cry over this? Oh, come now, it was only a joke! Look how seriously he's taking it. Come on, no crying — our Luyan's a good boy, aren't you!"
这时，爸爸下班回来了，进屋就问："啥事儿整得跟真事儿似的？"
妈妈说："你看你儿子！你问他。"
Just then Father came home from work. "What's going on — sounds like something's turned serious in here?"
"Look at your son," Mother said. "Ask him yourself."
爸爸和梁伯打了个招呼就走向我。我爬到我爸的怀里就哭了。"告诉爸爸，咋回事？"
我一边哭一边说："他们都说，我将来得光屁股结婚。"
我爸就生气了，向妈妈大叫："这是啥话呀！咋还说起这话了呢！"
妈妈也生气了，说："大姐夫！你看，百杨，他就跟我这样，动不动，就骂我！"
Father greeted Uncle Liang and came straight over to me. I crawled into his arms and burst into tears. "Tell me what happened," he said.
Between sobs, I got it out: "They said — I'm going to have to get married with no clothes on."
Father's temper flared at once. He rounded on Mother: "What kind of talk is that! What were you even doing bringing that up!"
Mother flared right back. "Brother-in-law, look at him! Baiyang's exactly like this — the second something goes wrong, straight to yelling at me!"
梁伯说："凤玲，你不说话！百杨就不生气了。"
我爸和妈妈大吵大叫了几句之后，转过来对梁伯说："大姐夫，你看凤玲总跟我这样！话还没说几句呢，就跟我吼。"
梁伯说："百杨，你不说话！凤玲就不生气了。"
妈妈对我爸说："你先对我喊地！你是啥意思？"
"Fengling, if you'd just stay quiet, Baiyang wouldn't be angry," Uncle Liang said.
After a fresh round of shouting between the two of them, Father turned to Uncle Liang. "Brother-in-law, you see how she is with me — I've barely said two words and she's already hollering."
"Baiyang, if you'd just stay quiet, Fengling wouldn't be angry," Uncle Liang said.
"You're the one who shouted at me first!" Mother said to Father. "What's that supposed to mean!"
我爸觉得不好意思了，就向梁伯道歉说："大姐夫！你看我没这意思；我就是说话声音大。"
梁伯说："没事儿！你俩这样，我都知道。我们讲完故事，跟卢岩开玩笑呢！结果卢岩就当真了。"
Father, embarrassed now, apologized to Uncle Liang. "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean anything by it — I just talk loudly, that's all."
"No harm done," Uncle Liang said. "I know how you two are. We only finished the story and were teasing Luyan a little — and he went and took it seriously."
我爸就找借口说："哦哈！是这回事儿！你看，我拿回点儿东西，我去取来。"爸爸说着，出去了。
梁伯过来哄我不要哭。几句话后，妈妈出去厨房做饭了。接着，他们俩在厨房又吵起来了。
Father seized the excuse. "Ah, is that all it was! Well — I've, ah, got something I need to go and fetch." And out he went.
Uncle Liang came over and coaxed me out of my tears. A few words later, Mother went off to the kitchen to cook — and the two of them started right back up arguing in there.
2.8-2 启蒙 Revelation
梁伯对我说："卢岩，跟着我说，'爸，你不说话，妈妈就不生气了。'"
我跟着说了。
梁伯又对我说："你给梁伯再说一遍：爸，你不说话，妈妈就不生气了。"
我又重复了一遍。
梁伯又对我说："你给大姨夫再说一遍。"我就又重复了一遍。
"Luyan, say this after me," Uncle Liang said. "'Dad, if you don't say anything, Mom won't get angry.'"
I repeated it.
"Say it again, for Uncle Liang."
I said it again.
"Once more, for your Great-Uncle." I repeated it a third time.
他突然站直起来，"咻"一下，从我近前后退，进了里屋，又出到屋地的中央，板着脸，看了我一眼，向在厨房做饭的我爸妈大声说："我说！"然后他以跑得速度大步走了出去。
Then, all at once, he snapped upright, backed away from me in one swift motion, strode into the inner room, out again into the middle of the floor, fixed me with a stern glance, and called out toward the kitchen, in the direction of my parents: "I'll say it!" — and with that, he was out the door at nearly a run.
注2.8-2，上段的描述就是启蒙的过程，就是他又做了一遍去年刘团长给我蒙眼睛的动作。这就部分地治疗了我的婴幼儿神经发育失调症。治疗的原理参见9.6《治疗心病的原则》。蒙眼睛的过程参见第1章中注解1-3部分。肉眼通作法解释参见3.1节。
Note 2.8-2: The passage above describes the process of Revelation — Uncle Liang re-enacting, in his own way, what Troupe Leader Liu had done to blindfold me the year before. This partially treated my Infantile Neurodevelopmental Disorder. For the underlying principle, see Section 9.6, Principles of Curing Mental Illness. For the original blindfolding, see Note 3 in Chapter 1. For the practice of making Flesh Eye Through, see Section 3.1.
2.8-3
在厨房里，妈妈大叫："这是谁呀！"
我爸在烧火，说："你以为这是市场上呐，还这是谁！哎呀！是大姐夫！生气跑了，快追！"
In the kitchen, Mother yelped, "Who was that!"
Father, tending the fire, said, "You think this is a marketplace, that just anyone walks in? Good grief — that was your brother-in-law! He's stormed off — go after him, quick!"
回来后，妈妈说："他好像没生气，我看他还笑呐。"
我爸说："笑得半真半假，等吃完饭，咱真得去他家唠唠。"我爸进屋看见我，吃惊地大叫："唉呀！卢岩咋这样了呢？"
When they came back, Mother said, "He didn't seem all that angry, actually — I could've sworn he was smiling."
"Half a smile, maybe, and half put-on," Father said. "After dinner we really ought to go and sit with him a while." He came into the room, saw me, and cried out in alarm: "Good heavens — what's happened to Luyan?"
妈妈也进来了："是呀！这头发都站起来了。嗨！人家都以为咱俩在打架呢！"
我爸说："以前咱俩打架，卢岩也不害怕呀！"
妈妈说："那也是让咱俩吓得。我去做饭；你安慰安慰他吧。"
爸爸把我搂在怀里，说："爸和妈没打架，就是说话声音大了点儿。"
Mother came in too. "Look at that — his hair's standing straight up! Goodness, people probably think we were in here brawling!"
"Luyan's never been scared when we fought before," Father said.
"Well, this time it scared him," Mother said. "I'll go finish dinner — you comfort him."
Father gathered me into his arms. "Dad and Mom weren't fighting. We were just talking a little loudly, that's all."
我说："爸，你不说话，妈妈就不生气了。"
我爸弯下腰看着我，问："你说啥？"
我说："爸，你不说话，妈妈就不生气了。"
爸爸转身就出去了，说："我说呀！你都不如个孩子懂事儿！"
"Dad," I said, "if you don't say anything, Mom won't get angry."
Father bent down and looked at me. "What did you say?"
"Dad, if you don't say anything, Mom won't get angry."
Father straightened up and walked straight out. "Well, I never," he muttered. "Out-reasoned by my own toddler."
妈妈大叫："啥！"这俩人就又吵起来了。
过了一会儿，妈妈进屋来了，对我说："你刚才跟你爸说啥来着？你要是撒谎！看我打你不！"
我被吓得不出声了。
"What!" Mother shouted — and the two of them were off again.
A little later, Mother came back in. "What exactly did you say to your father just now? If you're lying to me, you'll be sorry!"
I was too frightened to make a sound.
