台湾作家龙应台女士写了篇颇有意味的文章——《沙漠玫瑰》。沙漠玫瑰也叫沙漠地衣,是非洲一种枯萎、死掉的干草,但放入水中能够复活。作者将沙漠玫瑰放在一只注满了清水的大玻璃碗内,用八天时间观察其复活过程。第一天去看它,没有动静,还是一把枯草浸在水里头。第二天去看他的时候发现,它有一个中心,这个中心已经从里头往外头稍稍舒展松了,而且有一点绿的感觉,还不是颜色。 Taiwan writer Long Yingtai wrote a rather interesting article - “Desert Rose.” Desert Rose, also known as desert lichens, is a withered, dead hay in Africa, but can be resurrected into the water. The author places the desert rose in a large glass bowl filled with clear water and observes its resurrection with eight days. The first day to see it, no movement, or a hay immersed in the water inside. When I went to see him the next day, I found that it had a center that had been slightly loosened from the inside to the outside, with a little green feeling, not a color.
