[詩戀] 日月潭

剛剛發現 5月20日聯合副刊的『慢慢讀，詩』，收了詹義農的日月潭，恰好和早上抄錄的向陽明鑑：詠日月潭互相參照發明。其實，我只去過一次日月潭，記憶裡除了專宰觀光客的鏢客，和後來在921地震中倒塌的的飯店，就是一片空白了。

現實，畢竟不如詩美好。

懸吊的
船屋漁網上
羅掛著，星星和
月
螢火蟲，點亮
餐桌上的風味餐
幾隻歇在，潭畔筆筒樹
蜷曲的嫩芽上
湧漲的水漣裡
有上游沖來的黃梅的氣味
潭中央，拉魯島邊
曲腰魚，澎澎跳波
潭輕輕晃著
已經載滿水社碼頭和德化社的燈火
又載了，玄奘寺的
鐘聲

白鶺鴒飛過lalu島的肩胛時
天方才醒轉過來
把月潭的水波留給昨夜咀嚼
而茄苳樹則迎著朝陽
以日潭為鏡
在晨風中梳理亂髮
彷彿白鹿還奔馳於潭畔小路
翻過山，越過嶺，在山桂花的指點下
眼前奔入一泓明珠
這才睜開了卲族的天空

三百年來，風來過，雨來過
水草搖曳，把日精月華
送到祖靈paclan安居的lalu
這一切，老茄苳以年輪清楚銘刻
潭畔的山櫻或許也依稀記得
蔓草中深烙的卲人腳印
如何狂奔如何匍匐如何抬起而又跌落
一樁樁心事，且交玉山古月鑑照
明潭本是卲族家鄉
今為台灣靈魂之窗

閱讀測驗的題目如下，你的答案是？

43.根據本詩，下列詩句的說明，何者最恰當？
（A）「眼前奔入一泓明珠」──湖水清澈的日月潭，似明珠般映入眼簾
（B）「這才睜開了邵族的天空」──日月潭使邵族的文化廣為流傳、影響深遠

（D）「一樁樁心事，且交玉山古月鑑照」──表達邵族祖靈對後人的期許
44.關於本詩的寫作方式，下列敘述何者不正確？
（A）大量引用日月潭附近的動、植物作為題材
（B）運用許多擬人技巧，使詩的意象更加鮮明

Steve Ballmer said "Don't let others dissuade you"

Steve Ballmer 近日接受 Stanford 大學 Stanford Technology Ventures Program 之邀演講，主題是"The Future of Microsoft, The Future of Technology"。RWW 對這場演講做了摘要介紹，而且極力推薦對技術發展和創業有興趣的讀者觀賞完整的演講 video clip。

這是我第一次認真的聽(看)Steve Ballmer 的演講，坦白說，他出場那一刻嚇我一跳，不是那種自矜做作的專業經理人形象，也不是親和儒雅那一派，倒是蠻符合我曾經聽過的 energetic, outspoken 形象。
