有一种树,独立雄踞于我心灵圣山之巅,想起它,使我常常颤栗,甚至落泪。这种树,不是人们通常赞美的松,也不是梅。它是一种被叫作胡杨的,在新疆荒漠和碱滩中,随处可见,虽不名贵,却傲然兀立的树种。我是在最初的拓荒的日子里认识胡杨的。在中午弥足珍贵的半小时的小憩里,我躺在它那稀疏而斑驳的树荫下,经老拓荒人指点,知道它的名字叫胡杨。于是,我第一次以一种好奇而又专注的目光打量它,打量它周围的生存环境。这是怎样的一种生存环境哟!地 There is a tree, standing alone in the top of my sacred mountain, think of it, so I often tremble, or even cry. This tree is not the pine that people usually praise, nor is it plum. It is a species known as Populus euphratica, desert and alkaline beach in Xinjiang, everywhere, though not expensive, but proudly stand tree species. I knew Populus in the first days of pioneering. In the rare half-hour rest at noon, I lay in its sparse and mottled shade under the guidance of the old man, who knows it’s name Populus euphratica. So, for the first time, I looked at it with a curious and focused look at the environment around it. This is what kind of living environment yo!
