小公牛考尔(雪域寓言)

 


小公牛考尔

 

专门经营贩卖动物生意的菲利先生,与福娘做成了一笔交易,那些因体力衰竭被“淘汰”的奶牛,还有那些小公牛,成了他们的交易品。菲利先生将这些低价收购的奶牛销售给牛肉市场,从中赚了不少钱。

菲利先生从福娘奶牛场又购得了一批小公牛,其中一只小公奶牛特别可爱。

菲利先生没有将这只小公奶牛销售给牛肉市场,因为菲利先生爱上了布里奇先生的夫人艾伦,艾伦是菲利先生的情人,她是个动物摄影家,是她收养了这只小公奶牛,艾伦还给它取了个名字“考尔”。

艾伦给小公奶牛“考尔”拍摄了很多优秀的照片。考尔成了她的摄影模特,登上了《动物画报》的封面。

艾伦与小公奶牛“考尔”的亲密接触中,发现奶牛有着很强的高度发达的感知力。因为奶牛的眼睛分布在头部两侧,奶牛可以看到四周和后方的事物,与人类约180度的视野范围相比,奶牛的视野范围超过300度。当它们低头吃草时,视角甚至可以接近360度,几乎拥有全景视野,它们几乎不用转头就可以看到周围的一切事物。

除此之外,艾伦发现奶牛的听觉也很发达,接近于犬类,所以巨大的噪音会使它们倍感压抑。在嗅觉方面,奶牛可以闻到8千米外的气味。这些感官使奶牛非常容易感知到危险或攻击。不过奶牛是红绿色盲,这些颜色在它们眼中相当于黑灰色的阴影。

奶牛是天生的食草动物,可以边走边选择合口味的草或其他植物进食。它们的胃部结构非常复杂,可以分成4个胃室。这种结构帮助奶牛有效地消化食物。

艾伦告诉菲利先生:奶牛的生活方式和食物来源取决于人类。但不管生活在哪里,它们都要大量的进食和饮水。一头奶牛每天需要约25kg50kg的食物和约172升水,这大概是一个浴缸的容水量。冬天如果没有足够新鲜的草,则可以给奶牛提供青贮饲料或干饲料,这类饲料含有更多的维他命和矿物质。

 艾伦又说:奶牛与所有群居动物一样,奶牛与同类在一起时会感到安全舒适。同一群体内,奶牛通常可以和另外24头奶牛关系紧密。空间足够时,它们会奔跑、互相追逐、玩球。玩耍也是奶牛了解彼此、融入群体的一种方式。

但小公奶牛“考尔”没有与同类奶牛伙伴亲密接触的机会。小公奶牛“考尔”只能和艾伦在一起,才能获得安全感。

艾伦的丈夫布里奇先生因为从菲利先生那里购来一头凶猛的斗牛,并让这牛参加了斗牛比赛,结果是他的左眼被斗牛撞瞎了,因此他十分憎恨所有的牛类。

只要艾伦不在身边,布里奇先生就会用训兽的电棍击打小公奶牛“考尔”,有时则随手用棍棒或树枝抽打考尔。

布里奇先生却不知道奶牛也是一种记仇的动物。小公奶牛“考尔”已在心中埋下了对布里奇的仇恨。

菲利先生与艾伦说起了这些事,他感慨万千地唱起了一首歌谣天眼》:

 

禽兽天然有本性,

人若有情能共存。

动物与人结仇恨,

禽兽一定会报复。

 

人在做事天在看,

苍天有眼识善恶。

你我有缘携手行,

莫负天意心常乐。

 

人若瞎眼看世界,

混沌一片看不清。

人若相视充满爱,

心中自有情万千。

Cow's fate

 


Cow's fate

 

When most people in the world are awakening, human nature will show its kind side. Humanity has banned cruel bullfighting performances, and the once glorious bullfighting sport has been banned. Tranquil scenes can be seen everywhere in the fields, and cows have become the protagonist of the beautiful scenery.

The ancestors of more than 800 existing domestic cattle species have a long history, and most scientists believe that they are descendants of aurochs. The aurochs is a ferocious creature with sharp horns that was distributed in Europe, Asia and North America more than 2 million years ago. The wild cow is about 2 meters tall and weighs about 1000kg. This creature survived the last Ice Age, but due to human hunting, its population continued to decline until the last aurochs died in 1627, declaring the species extinct.

When bison lived on this planet, humans would continue to hunt them, use violence to subjugate the bison, and turn them into enslaved working cattle. If their wild nature persists, these bison will be put to death in the bullring. But humans and cows seem to have the friendliest relationship, and that is the cows raised by humans, which allow people to see the brighter side of human nature. No one will force cows to plow or carry loads, and no male cow will die in a bullring.

Mr. Feeley, who specializes in the business of selling bullfights and animals, cannot do the business of selling bullfights because the sport of bullfighting is banned, and the bison have fled the nearby mountains and forests en masse. Mr. Feili found Shan Weng and Fu Niang because Shan Weng Animal Breeding Farm had newly expanded a dairy farm and raised many cows. Whenever guests come to visit, Shan Weng's wife Fu Niang will serve them with fresh milk. Mr. Feeley wanted to start a business selling milk and young bulls.

The mountain man told Mr. Feeley:

A total of about 1 billion dairy cows are bred globally to produce milk and beef. Because humans drink milk every day, children drink baby milk, and adults drink adult milk powder. Like meat, the milk humans drink now comes from low-welfare factory farming, not from traditional zoonotic animal husbandry.

But there is a question that has been bothering Mr. Feeley: Why does the cow keep producing milk? Is it made of special materials? It produces milk even when it is not lactating? In fact, many people don't know this question. A cow produces milk because she has given birth to a calf. But there is no female individual of any mammal that will leak milk from her breasts every day for no reason.

The answer given by Shan Weng’s wife Fu Niang shocked Mr. Philly:

The cows on the dairy assembly line have never been in love, never had sex, or even seen a bull in their lives, but they have been giving birth to calves and being milked all their lives. In fact, the mother cow has never breastfed her baby, because if the calf eats her mother's milk, the mother and the baby will develop a mother-child attachment, and she will not let anyone milk her. Cows are separated from their mothers at birth. Some of the heifers were fed into dairy cows, repeating the fate of their mothers; some of the young bulls were sold and raised as beef cattle, which was considered lucky; and some of the young bulls went directly into biochemical factories and were turned into various serums. , proteins and enzymes! It turns out that female cows continue to produce milk and calves only after they are artificially inseminated.

Fu Niang also told Mr. Feili: Under modern advanced management, the life of a cow is probably like this. When a heifer reaches puberty at 16 months of age, it is time to consider inseminating her. Soon, the one-year-old virgin cow became pregnant. After 280 days, the heifer gave birth and became a mother. From this point on, the automated mechanical milk extraction unit began sucking her milk regularly. After another 305 days, the cows stopped producing milk and could rest. But you can only rest for 60 days. Because 220 days ago, she had been artificially inseminated for the second time. Sixty days later, she would give birth to her second child, starting a new cycle. After seven or eight reincarnations, the cow's physical strength is exhausted and it is "eliminated".

Pulling out” is dairy industry terminology. Fu Niang explained to Mr. Feili: I just don’t want it anymore, just dispose of it. If you can sell it, sell it. If you can't sell it, don't keep it to waste feed.

Soon, the deal between Mr. Philly and Fu Niang was successful. The cows that were "culled" due to physical exhaustion, as well as the young bulls, became their trading items.

Mr. Feeley is very excited that he can sell these low-priced cows to the beef market and get a lot of profit.

When humans enter a highly industrialized and technological society, it is also when disaster approaches in the world of cows. Humans can cruelly cut off the sexual life of a female cow, but allow her to produce milk and give birth to babies endlessly after artificial insemination. When the female cows fail, they are sent to the slaughterhouse along with their calves.

In some human cultures, cows are sacred symbols, often reflected in art, mythology, and nursery rhymes. Humans seem to be singing carols for cows.

"A glass of milk can strengthen a nation." Humanity's exaggerated publicity of the functions of milk has promoted the development of the dairy industry and allowed more cows to "eat grass and squeeze out milk."

When we drink milk happily, who would think about the tragic fate of cows?

At this time, the melancholy singing of the cowherd came from the distance:

 

The heaven and earth are in chaos,

Spend your time peacefully throughout your life.

There are many flaws in the history of the world,

How can fantasy avoid impermanence?

 

Only in spring do we see the green willows,

The autumn wind sees yellow chrysanthemums again.

The bull dies in the bullring,

Cows find it difficult to feed their babies.

 

The human heart is hateful and shameless,

Animal nature is distorted.

Human nature is inferior to birds and beasts,

I don’t know when to have a kind heart.

奶牛的命运(雪域寓言)

 


奶牛的命运

 

当这个世界上的大多数人正在觉醒时,人性就会展现出善良的一面,人类已禁止了残酷的斗牛表演,往日风光无限的斗牛运动被禁止了。田野里到处可以见到宁静的画面,奶牛成了美丽的风景线主角。

现存的800多种家养牛的祖先起源已久,绝大多数科学家认为它们是原牛的后代。原牛是一种长着尖角的凶猛生物,200多万年前分布在欧洲、亚洲和北美洲。原牛约有2米高,体重在1000kg左右。这种生物挺过了最后一个冰河时期,然而由于人类的猎杀,其种群数量不断下降,直到1627年最后一头原牛死亡,宣告这一物种的灭绝。

当野牛生活在这星球上时,人类总会不断地捕杀,用暴力去征服野牛,让它们成为被奴役干活的耕牛。如果野性未改,就将这些野牛处死在斗牛场上。但人类与牛,似乎也有最友善的关系,那就是人类饲养的奶牛,让人看到了人性光明的一面。没有人会强迫奶牛去耕耘、驮物,也没有任何一头公奶牛会死在斗牛场上。

专门经营贩卖斗牛和动物生意的菲利先生,因为斗牛运动被禁止了,再加上那些野牛已集体逃离了附近的山林,贩卖斗牛的生意是做不成了。菲利先生就找到山翁和福娘,因为山翁动物饲养场新扩建了一个奶牛场,饲养了不少奶牛。每当客人来访问,山翁的妻子福娘就会拿出新鲜的牛奶招待客人。菲利先生想做些贩卖牛奶和小公牛的生意。

山翁告诉菲利先生:

全球总计养殖约10亿头奶牛用来生产牛奶和牛肉。因为人类每天都要喝奶,小孩喝婴儿奶,大人喝成人奶粉。同肉类食品一样,人类现在饮用的牛奶,都来自于低福利的工厂化养殖业,而不是来自传统的人畜共生的畜牧业。

但有个问题一直困扰着菲利先生:奶牛为什么会一直产奶?难道它是特殊材料做成的?非哺乳期都会产奶?其实这个问题很多人不知道。奶牛之所以产奶,是因为她生小牛了。但没有哪一种哺乳类动物的雌性个体会平白无故地天天从乳房里向外淌奶哇。

山翁的妻子福娘给出的答案让菲利先生震惊了:

乳业流水线上的奶牛,一辈子没谈过恋爱,一辈子没有过性生活,甚至一辈子没有见过公牛,却一辈子不停地生小牛,一辈子在不停地被挤奶。甚至,奶牛妈妈从来没有给自己的孩子哺过乳,因为让小牛吃过他娘的奶,牛妈妈就和牛宝宝就会产生母子依恋,就不肯让人挤奶了。奶牛一生下来就被母子分离。一部分小母牛被喂养成奶牛,重复她母亲的命运;一部分小公牛则被卖出去当肉牛饲养,这算是幸运的;还有一部分小公牛,直接进了生化工厂,变成了各种血清、蛋白和酶!原来,母奶牛是被人工受精后,才不断地产奶,不断地生小牛。

福娘还告诉菲利先生:在现代化的先进管理下,奶牛的一生大概是这样的。小母牛在16个月的时候进入青春期,就要考虑为她授精。很快,这个一岁多的处女牛就怀孕了。280天之后,小母牛分娩,作了妈妈。从此时起,自动化的机械取奶装置就开始定期吸她的奶。又过了305天,奶牛停止产奶,可以休息了。但是只能休息60天。因为此前220天,她已经第二次被人工授精了。60 天后,她会产下了第二个孩子,开始了新的轮回。在七八个轮回之后,奶牛体力衰竭,也就被“淘汰”了。

“淘汰”是乳品行业的术语。福娘向菲利先生解释说:就是不要了,处置了。能卖就卖了,不能卖也不能留着浪费饲料。

很快,菲利先生和福娘的交易成功了。那些因体力衰竭被“淘汰”的奶牛,还有那些小公牛,成了他们的交易品。

菲利先生很兴奋,他可以将这些低价收购的奶牛销售给牛肉市场,并能得到不菲的收益。

人类进入了高度工业化和科技社会时,也是奶牛世界的灾难临近之时。人类可以残忍地断绝母奶牛的性生活,却让她经过人工受精后去无休止地产奶,生崽。当母奶牛体力衰竭时就将她们和小公牛一起送进了屠宰场。

在某些人类文化里,奶牛是神圣的象征,这一点在艺术、神话和童谣中常得到体现。人类似乎在为奶牛唱颂歌。

“一杯牛奶可以强壮一个民族”,人类对牛奶功能的夸大宣传,推进了奶业发展,也让更多的奶牛“吃的是草,挤出的是奶”。

当我们愉快地喝着牛奶时,有谁会想过奶牛的悲惨命运呢?

这时,远处传来牧牛工凄凉的歌声:

 

天地混沌两茫茫,

终身安分度时光。

世事由来多缺陷,

幻想焉得免无常。

 

春日才看杨柳绿,

秋风又见菊花黄。

蛮牛死于斗牛场,

奶牛难哺亲生儿。

 

人心可恶又无耻,

动物本性被扭曲。

人性不如禽和兽,

不知何时存善心。

Bullfighting's revenge

 


Bullfighting's revenge

 

The first snowy bullfighting competition is about to begin. Each of the three matadors participating in the competition has a team of assistants, including three dartboarders and two mounted spearmen. Mr. Bridge and Mr. Feeley, who were sitting in front of the spectator stand watching the bullfight, like all spectators, it is difficult to predict the outcome of each decisive battle because it depends on many factors, such as the courage of the matador and the Skills, but also depends on the appearance of the bull, some ferocious bulls bred by famous ranches directly threaten the matador's victory, and even life.

Of course, as the owner of the bullfighting "Kunlun", Mr. Bridge did not want to see his pet bull participating in this competition fall on the playing field. As for the matador's life or death, he didn't care at all.

The whole performance kicked off with the entrance of the matador. The two leading men, both dressed in sixteenth-century Western attire, rode on horseback first. They ran straight to the president's stand and begged him for the keys to the bullpen. At this time, the whole place was extremely quiet, and the audience was waiting for this sacred and solemn scene.

Afterwards, the band played the loud matador march. During the music, Mr. Bridge saw three matadors each leading their own troops onto the field at the same time in three columns. The matador's uniform made of silk sparkles in the sun and is very dazzling. They circled the arena in a unique posture, then came to the chairman and bowed to him, waiting for the matador to exit. The chairman waved his hand back, and the horn blew, which signaled that the gate of the bullpen was opened, the bulls galloped out, and the bullfight began.

Mr. Bridge was excited. He saw the bullfight "Kunlun" participating in the competition. Mr. Bridge cheered and shouted loudly: "Kunlun! Kunlun!"

The entire bullfighting process includes four parts: teasing, spearing, flower darts and formal fighting. The tease is the kick-off to the entire performance.

The bullfighting "Kunlun" is the last contestant to appear. The first two wild bulls had been killed by the bullfighters. Mr. Bridge suddenly became worried about the life and death of his bullfighting "Kunlun". He could no longer make a sound.

Since the bullfighting "Kunlun" is starting to become wild at this time, three bullfighter assistants are responsible for teasing it into galloping around the field and consuming its initial energy. After a few rounds, the spearmen on horseback and armor came out. They used the spear heads to stab the back and neck of the bull "Kunlun" to pierce its blood vessels and bleed. This was to open a sword for the main matador. aisle. The spearmen's horses were wrapped in armor and their eyes were blindfolded to prevent timidity.

After being stabbed, the bullfighting "Kunlun" became more and more violent, so the spearman was knocked to the ground by the bullfighting "Kunlun" if he was not careful.

After the spearmen left the field, the flower-darters entered on foot. The flower dart player holds a pair of flower darts made of wooden poles, decorated with colorful feathers and with sharp metal hooks at the front. He stands alone in the stance and invites the bullfighting "Kunlun" to attack him. When the bullfighting "Kunlun" rushes up, the flower dart player quickly pierces the bullfighting dart into its back and neck, and the sharp hook is stuck on the back of the bull's neck, which acts as a blood-letting effect. Since the flower escort has a short time to aim, lunge, and thrust, and needs to judge the momentum of the bull, his movements need to be clean and neat. But at this time, the flower dart player only inserted one dart, and the last two darts missed, which attracted boos from the audience.

The bullfighting "Kunlun" glared at the flower escort. According to the rules of the competition, if the cow has less than or equal to 4 flower darts, it can be allowed to make up for it once more, but if it misses again, it will not have such an opportunity again. When the flower dart player stabbed the bullfight "Kunlun" again, he missed again.

The bullfighting "Kunlun" was not seriously injured in these two rounds of fighting, which increased the difficulty for the main matador.

Finally, the main bullfighter, holding a sharp sword and a red cloth, came on stage and began to perform some tricks and dodges that showed his skill, such as the chest dodge, that is, when the bull rushes towards him in a straight line, his leg slides to one side and the bull rushes close to him. He threw a red cloth at the bull's face to irritate the bullfighting "Kunlun".

Mr. Feeley, who was sitting in front of the spectator stand watching the bullfight, said to Mr. Bridge: "This matador is called Wu Desheng. He is the most famous warrior in the West. I don't know why, how did he come here? But In my opinion, he is just playing some tricks, maybe, this guy will die under the feet of your bison."

This is the final stage of the bullfight, the final assassination stage, and the climax of the bullfight.

The bullfighter Wu Desheng aimed a sharp sword with an elbow at the neck of the bullfighting "Kunlun". Then he not only lured the bull to charge towards him, but also faced the bull. He rushed forward and stabbed the bull's heart with his sword, but he Failed. The bullfighting "Kunlun" cleverly dodged the assassination move. If it is stabbed, the bullfighting "Kunlun" will fall to the ground in a short time. Assassination is the most skillful. The matador must hold the sword at eye level, stand on tiptoes, and press down horizontally with his hands to exert force. When the sword enters behind the bull, he must shake his wrist and bend the sword slightly to the left to break through the main ventricle of the heart. This is very demanding. speed, power and accuracy.

Mr. Feeley used to be a bullfighter. He said to Mr. Bridge: "There are three types of assassination actions: the man is stationary and the bull rushes; at this time, the matador is static during the aiming phase, which is conducive to preparation and aiming. and judgment. The second is when the man moves but the bull does not move. That is, while the bull is waiting and watching, the bullfighter rushes forward, aiming while charging, until the sword enters the bull's body. At this time, the bull also exerts force to push forward. , stabbing deeper with the help of force. The third type is that when the person moves, the bull also moves. This is the most difficult and the highest level of assassination action. That is, the matador rushes towards the bull, teases the bull and also rushes towards the person from a certain distance. The matador is in It is extremely complicated and difficult to master to determine the position of a moving cow during movement and to strike accurately, but if used well, the death time of the cow will be the shortest, and a beautiful one may even fall to the ground."

The bullfighting "Kunlun" in front of me did not fall.

Mr. Feeley told Mr. Bridge: "If the bull has lost its fighting spirit after being stabbed, but the sword has not penetrated deeply enough or the bull is strong enough, it will not fall to the ground and die. At this time, the bullfighter or his assistant will Stab the central nervous system of the bull with a cross sword or dagger, and the bull will immediately fall to the ground and die. At this time, a mule cart decorated with flowers will appear to drag the bull away, and the matador will accept the cheers of the audience. You can also throw your hat to the audience, and accept the cheers, applause and flowers thrown by the audience. According to the level of assassination from low to high, the matador has the honor of keeping the bull's ears, keeping the bull's tail, and being carried out from the main entrance."

However, Mr Feeley and Mr Bridge did not see this scene. The bullfighting "Kunlun" was obviously irritated and went crazy. It rushed out of the competition area and jumped towards the audience. The audience was frightened and ran away with their heads in their hands.

Mr. Bridge rushed towards the bullfight "Kunlun" regardless of life and death. He shouted loudly: "Kunlun, Kunlun! I am Bridge, I am your master Bridge!"

Bullfighting "Kunlun" also seems to have discovered its owner Mr. Bridge. It stopped running in front of Mr. Bridge. Just as Mr. Bridge stretched out his arms and walked towards the bullfighting "Kunlun", the bullfighting "Kunlun" suddenly blinded Mr. Bridge's left eye with its horns. Obviously, the bullfighting "Kunlun" no longer recognizes the owner who sent it to the road of life and death.

On the playing field, the famous "Bullfighting Song" sounded. The music is full of passion, joy, enthusiasm and enthusiasm. Originally, this song expressed the bravery of the matador, became popular all over the world, and became a world-famous song that has been sung for a long time. Now it has become the crazy march of the bullfight "Kunlun".

The crazy bullfighting "Kunlun" rushed out of the bullring as a winner and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

A crazy bullfight that had never been seen before ended like this.

When a matador comes on stage, he will first tire the bull to exhaustion, and then stab the bull straight into the heart with his long sword. The bull will suddenly spurt out blood and fall to the ground dead. However, the matador accepts the congratulations of the audience amidst the sound of triumphant music. This was obviously a very cruel act of killing. And those stupid and ignorant people actually admire the "executioner" as a hero. Bullfighting shows have gradually lost their former glory because most of the world is waking up. Due to this emergency, the first snowy bullfighting competition became the last local bullfighting competition.

The herdsmen on the snowy plateau sang "The Song of the Heart":

 

A person's mind will be narrow if he has many desires, and wide if he has few desires.

People's state of mind is that if they have many desires, they will be busy, and if they have few desires, they will be idle.

In the human mind, having too many desires will lead to danger, while having few desires will lead to peace.

In people's minds, if they have many desires, they will be worried; if they have few desires, they will be happy.

When people are angry, if they have too many desires, they will be discouraged, and if they have few desires, they will be strong.

 

People's hearts are kind, cattle and sheep are in flocks, and people are at home.

People's hearts are evil, inferior to pigs and dogs, and abandoned by the people.

 

The lives of people and animals,

as a game to watch,

Despicable and shameless people have ugly hearts,

You will definitely be punished by God.

斗牛的报复(雪域寓言)

 


斗牛的报复

 

首届雪域斗牛比赛即将开场了。参加比赛的三位斗牛士各有一套助手班子,包括三个花镖手和两个骑马的长矛手。坐在观赛台前观看的这场斗牛比赛的布里奇先生和菲利先生,与所有观众一样对每场决战都很难预料其结果,因为它取决于诸多因素,如斗牛士的胆略和技巧,但也取决于出场的公牛,一些由著名牧场培养的凶猛公牛直接威胁着斗牛士的胜利、甚至生命。

当然,布里奇先生作为斗牛“昆仑”的主人,他不希望亲眼看到自己参加这次比赛的宠牛,倒在比赛场上。至于斗牛士的死活,他則完全不放在心上。

整个表演以斗牛士入场拉开了序幕,两位前导一律十六世纪西洋装束,骑着马首先上场。他们径直向主席就座看台跑去,请求他赐给牛栏的钥匙。此时全场异常安静,观众静待这神圣又庄严的场面。

尔后,乐队奏起了嘹亮的斗牛士进行曲,乐曲声中,布里奇先生看到三位斗牛士各自率自己的一班人马分三列同时上场。用絲绸制作的斗牛士服在阳光下闪闪发光,十分耀眼。他们摆着特有的姿势绕场一周,随后来到主席面前向他鞠躬致意,等斗牛士退场后。主席反手一挥,号角吹响,也就是告示牛栏大门敞开,牛飞奔而出,即斗牛开始。

布里奇先生兴奋了,他看到了参加此次比赛的斗牛“昆仑”。布里奇先生欢呼了起来,他大声地叫道:“昆仑!昆仑!”

整个斗牛过程包括引逗、长矛穿刺、上花镖及正式斗杀四个部分。引逗是整个表演的开锣戏。

斗牛“昆仑”是最后出场的选手。前两只野公牛已被斗牛士杀死了。布里奇先生突然为自家的斗牛“昆仑”的生死担忧了起来。他已发不出声了。

由于此时的斗牛“昆仑”的野性始发,所以由三个斗牛士助手负责引逗其全场飞奔,消耗其最初的锐气。几个回合过去,骑马带甲的长矛手出场,他们用长矛头刺扎斗牛“昆仑”的牛背颈部,使其血管刺破,进行放血,这是为主斗牛士开一个下剑的通道。长矛手所骑之马都用护甲裹住,双眼蒙上以防胆怯。

受刺后的斗牛“昆仑”,变得越发凶暴猛烈,因此长矛手稍不留神就被斗牛“昆仑”掀翻在地。

长矛手离场后,花镖手徒步上场了。花镖手,手执一对木杆制、饰以花色羽毛、前端带有金属利钩的花镖,孤身一人站立场中,并引逗斗牛“昆仑”向自己发起冲击。待斗牛“昆仑”冲上来时,花镖手便迅捷将花镖刺入了它的背颈部,利钩扎在牛颈背上,这是起放血作用。由于花镖手作出瞄准、前冲、刺入的时间很短,且需判断牛的冲势,因此需要其动作干净利落。但此时的花镖手只刺入一镖,后两镖皆不中,招来满场嘘声。

斗牛“昆仑”怒视着花镖手。按比赛规则,如果牛身上的花镖少于等于4只,可以允许其再补刺一次,但再失手,即不会再有这样的机会。花镖手再次将花镖刺向斗牛“昆仑”时,又失手了。

斗牛“昆仑”在这两轮搏斗中,伤得并不重,这就为主斗牛士增加了难度。

最后手持利剑和红布的主斗牛士上场了,开始表演一些显示功力的引逗及闪躲动作,如胸部闪躲,即让牛冲向直线冲向自身时,腿一侧滑,牛贴身冲过,他就以红布甩向牛的面部,以激怒引逗斗牛“昆仑”。

坐在观赛台前观看这场斗牛比赛的菲利先生对布里奇先生说:“这个斗牛士叫乌得胜,他是西洋最出名的勇士。不知为什么,他怎么跑到这里来了?但在我看来,他玩的只是些花招路数,也许,这家伙会死在你的野牛脚下。”

这是斗牛比赛的最后阶段了,也即最后刺杀阶段,也是斗牛的高潮。

斗牛士乌得胜以一把带弯头利剑瞄准斗牛“昆仑”的颈部,尔后既引逗牛向其冲来,自己也迎牛而上,冲上前把剑刺向牛的心脏,但他失败了。斗牛“昆仑”机智地闪开了这次刺杀动作。如果,被刺中的话,斗牛“昆仑”会在很短的时间内应声倒地。刺杀是最富有技巧的,斗牛士须将剑与眼睛齐平,踮脚,手水平下压,发力,剑入牛身后须抖腕使剑稍微左弯,以冲破心脏主心室,这要求很高的速度、力量和准确性。

菲利先生以前是斗牛士,他对布里奇先生说:“刺杀动作分为三种:人不动而牛冲过来;这时斗牛士在瞄准阶段等都是静态的,有利于准备,瞄准和判断。第二种是人动而牛不动,即在牛处在观望的时间内,斗牛士向前冲,边冲边瞄准,直至剑入牛身,这时牛也是发力向前顶,借力刺得更深。第三种是人动牛也动,这是最难把握和最高境界的刺杀动作。即斗牛士冲向牛,逗着牛也从一定距离冲向人,斗牛士在运动中判断运动中的牛的部位并准确下手,这是极其复杂和难掌握的,但如果运用得好,则牛的死亡时间最短,漂亮的甚至可能应声倒地。”

眼前的斗牛“昆仑”并没有倒下。

菲利先生告诉布里奇先生:“如果牛被刺后,已失斗性,但由于剑刺得不够深或牛足够强壮,会暂时还不倒地而死,这时斗牛士或其助手会以十字剑或短剑匕首刺中牛的中枢神经部位,这时牛会立即倒地而死。这时装束着花饰的骡子车即会出场将牛拖走,斗牛士会接受观众的欢呼致意,也可将帽子抛向观众,也接受观众的欢呼、掌声和投来的鲜花,斗牛士按刺杀水平的由低至高分别享有保留牛耳,保留牛尾,被从正门抬出的荣誉。”

但是,菲利先生和布里奇先生没有看到这一场景。斗牛“昆仑”显然已被激怒后发疯了,它冲出了赛区,跃向观众席,观众们惊吓的抱头乱窜,四处奔逃。

布里奇先生不顾死活地冲向斗牛“昆仑”,他大声地叫喊着:“昆仑,昆仑!我是布里奇,我是你的主人布里奇!”

斗牛“昆仑”似乎也发现了它的主人布里奇先生。它在布里奇先生面前停止了狂奔的脚步。正当布里奇先生伸开双臂向斗牛“昆仑”走去时,斗牛“昆仑”突然用它的牛角刺瞎了布里奇先生的左眼。显然,斗牛“昆仑”已不再认这个将它送往生死路上的主人了。

比赛场上,响起了著名的《斗牛曲》。乐曲充满激情、欢快、热烈,热情奔放。原先这首表现斗牛士的勇敢,风靡全世界,成为久唱不衰的世界名曲,现在居然成了斗牛“昆仑”的疯狂进行曲。

疯狂的斗牛“昆仑”以胜利者的姿态冲出了斗牛场,转眼就跑得无影无踪了。

一场从没见过的疯狂的斗牛比赛就这样结束了。

斗牛士出场,会先把公牛累得筋疲力尽,然后手举长剑直刺牛的心脏,公牛顿时鲜血喷涌,倒地而毙,斗牛士却在凯旋的乐曲声中接受观众的祝贺。这显然是很残忍的杀戮行为。而那些愚蠢无知的人居然还把刽子手当作英雄来敬仰。斗牛表演已渐失去了往日风光,因为这个世界的大多数正在觉醒。由于这次突发事件,首届雪域斗牛比赛也成了当地最后一届斗牛比赛。

雪域高原的牧民们唱起了《人心歌》:

 

人之心胸,多欲则窄,寡欲则宽。

人之心境,多欲则忙,寡欲则闲。

人之心术,多欲则险,寡欲则平。

人之心事,多欲则忧,寡欲则乐。

人之心气,多欲则馁,寡欲则刚。

 

人心善良,牛羊成群,民至所归,

人心险恶,猪狗不如,民众所弃。

 

将民众和动物的生命,

视为可以观赏的游戏,

卑鄙无耻的人心丑陋,

必然会受到上天惩罚。

Ugly human nature

 


Ugly human nature

 

The crazy sport of bullfighting can be said to be the most cruel battle for survival in the history of animals. The bullfighter does not care about the life or death of the bull, and only shows off his own force and glory. There are many people in human beings who love to show off their wealth, power, and self-righteous achievements, but there are not many real winners.

Mr. Bridge bought a ferocious bullfighting "Kunlun" from the former famous bullfighter Mr. Philly, and registered the bullfighting "Kunlun" to participate in the bullfight. Mr. Bridge also invited Mr. Feeley to watch the bullfight.

Mr. Bridge and Mr. Feely came to the bullfighting venue together, and Mr. Bridge handed the bullfight "Kunlun" to the organizer of the competition. The organizers of the competition paid Mr. Bridge an honorarium.

Mr. Bridge and Mr. Feeley sat together in the spectator stand. They are waiting for the matador to appear.

Mr. Feeley, who was a bullfighter, told Mr. Bridge: “In the 16th century, matadors generally wore red clothes with gold rims and some gold ornaments on them to make them look shiny when performing movements in the sun. Bright and dazzling. Because people in the 16th century were accustomed to wearing their hair in a bun, all the main matadors wore headdresses. This tradition has been continued, and gradually, the headdresses became a kind of decoration. And the main matadors are in the ring. The only one who wears the headdress, which in turn evolved into a symbol of the matador’s identity.”

Mr. Feeley said: "Bullfighting is an inspirational activity that shows strength and courage. It allows people to cultivate a brave spirit while watching the fierce bullfighting competition. This is a national spirit that leads to the straight ahead. Unfortunately, in 18 In the middle of the century, during the reign of the Bourbon dynasty, the first king Felipe V actually hated this sport and believed that this cruel sport that could easily cause harm to members of the royal family should be banned. Since then, this traditional aristocratic patent has It spread from the imperial palace to the people."

The snowy bullfighting competition that Mr. Bridge and Mr. Feely sat watching together in front of the viewing platform was the first time that it was held by local people. But officials and wealthy businessmen who watched the game were still the main players. Of course, the audience all bet their money, and the bullfighting arena is actually a casino.

The matador's attire continues the tradition. The red cloth and the cloak are two very important tools. The red cloth is the patent of the main matador. In fact, the so-called red cloth has one side red and one side yellow, which is exactly the same color as the Xizhou flag. The three matador assistants hold cloaks. The difference between the cloak and the red cloth is that the red side is replaced by pink.

The full set of matador's tools also includes: a spear, six emblems, four different swords and a dagger. In the initial stage of the performance, the main matador usually uses a sharp sword without an elbow and supports it with a red cloth to lure the bull. In the final assassination stage, a short sword with an elbow is used, and the matador stabs it into the bull. Heart on the back. In addition, the main matador is also equipped with a cross-headed sword, which is used to stab the bull's central nervous system.

Mr. Bridge said to Mr. Feeley: This bullfight consists of three matadors fighting six bulls, each with two rounds. Bullfighting performances are all scheduled in the afternoon.

However, the matador has not yet appeared, and Mr. Bridge's bullfighting "Kunlun" has not appeared either. The audience was already excitedly singing the famous "Bullfighting Song". Facing a life-and-death battle between man and beast, what do people expect?

 

In the crazy bullfighting arena,

In the face of war and killing,

At the scene of violence and repression,

There are always many onlookers,

No tears will be shed for the dead,

In fact, this is human nature.

The ugliest and evil side,

Hypocrisy pollutes social justice.

丑恶的人性(雪域寓言)

 


丑恶的人性

 

疯狂的斗牛运动,可以说是动物史上最残酷的生存之战。斗牛士罔顾牛的生死,炫耀的只是自己的武力和荣耀。人类中有很多人,都爱炫耀自己的财富、权力,还有那些自以为是的成就,不过真正的成功者却并不多。

布里奇先生從前著名的斗牛士菲利先生那裡買了一頭兇猛的斗牛“昆仑”,並为斗牛“昆仑”报了名,让牠参加為次斗牛赛。布里奇先生还邀请菲利先生一起去观看这场斗牛比赛。

布里奇先生和菲利先生一起来到了斗牛比赛场,布里奇先生将斗牛“昆仑”交给了大赛主办方。大赛主办方给了布里奇先生一笔酬金。

布里奇先生和菲利先生一起坐在观赛台前。他们等待着斗牛士的出场。

曾经是斗牛士的菲利先生告诉布里奇先生:“十六世纪时,主斗牛士一般选用红色为主的衣着,上面镶有金边和一些金色饰物,使其在阳光下做动作时显得闪亮夺目,光彩照人。因为十六世纪的人习惯于盘发,因而主斗牛士都戴有头饰。这个传统一直被延续了下去,渐渐地,头饰成为了一种装饰。而主斗牛士是场内唯一佩戴头饰的人,这又演变为主斗牛士身份的象征。”

菲利先生说:“斗牛运动是一项展示力量、勇气的励志活动,能让人们在观赏激烈的斗牛较量中,培养勇敢精神,这是一种通往直前的民族精神。遗憾的是在18世纪中期,那是波旁王朝统治时期,第一位国王菲利佩五世对于这项运动居然深恶痛绝,认为这种容易对皇室成员造成伤害的残酷运动应该被禁止。此后,这一传统贵族专利就从皇宫传到了民间。”

布里奇先生和菲利先生一起坐在观赛台前观看的这场雪域斗牛比赛就是當地民间首次举办的。但是观看比赛的官员和富商仍然是主体。当然观众都押了宝,斗牛赛场其实是个赌场。

斗牛士的服饰继承了传统。红布和斗篷是两件非常重要的工具。红布是主斗牛士的专利,其实所谓的红布是一面红色一面黄色,这正好与西洲洲的颜色一致。三名斗牛士助手则手持斗篷,斗篷与红布的区别是其中红色的一面被粉红色取代。 

全套斗牛士的工具还包括:一把长矛、六支花标、四把不同的利剑以及一把匕首。主斗牛士在表演的初始阶段一般选用不带弯头的利剑,并支撑红布,以引诱公牛,到了最后的刺杀阶段,亮相的是带弯头的短剑,斗牛士将其刺入公牛后背的心脏。此外,主斗牛士还配备十字头剑,这是用来刺杀公牛中枢神经的。

布里奇先生對菲利先生說:這场斗牛由三个斗牛士出场,共斗六条公牛,每人两个回合。斗牛表演都安排在下午举行。

但是,斗牛士还没出场,布里奇先生家的斗牛“昆仑”,也没有露面。观众们却已经兴奋地唱响了著名的《斗牛曲》。面对决定生死的人兽大战,人们期待什么呢?

 

在疯狂的斗牛赛场,

在战争和杀戮面前,

在暴力和镇压现场,

总有众多的旁观者,

不会为死者流眼泪,

其实这是人性之中,

最丑陋邪恶的一面,

虚伪污染社会大义。
