改变世界的不过微小的力量——J.R.R.托尔金指环王&霍比特人

大家小时候的枕边故事书都是什么呢？花木兰，孔融让梨还是司马光砸缸？英国的小朋友都是听J.R.R.托尔金爷爷的故事长大的。你可能不熟悉托尔金，但是你一定熟悉霍比特人和指环王。

在托尔金打造的中土世界中，有一群无忧无虑的霍比特人，他们身材矮小，但却单纯善良，在世外桃源过着无拘无束的生活，他们天生有着抵御魔戒诱惑的能力；还有一群矮人，他们有点贪婪，但是却在黑暗的矿山中兢兢业业挖掘着财富；还有精灵，他们有着出众的美貌和超强的能力；还有魔王索伦妄想称霸世界。当灾难降临的时候，当各个种族的手足无措的时候，最为微小的力量站了出来。

微小的霍比特人没有超强的能力，甚至都拿不起一把像样的剑，可是他们心怀拯救世界的大义，他们有对朋友不离不弃的忠诚，他们可能面对诱惑，但是善良和勇敢总是会给他们无穷的力量。拯救这个世界，不需要超能力，只需要你勇敢前进，加上一些有情有义的朋友，和满怀的信念和正义。

也许这只是写给小孩子看的童话，但却是人生的隐喻。在指环王的前传霍比特人中，矮人们翻山越岭，经历一切艰难险阻，一心收复丧失的家园，这是对故土和先人怎样的热爱和忠诚。被魔戒折磨得丧失了心智的咕噜最终和魔戒同归于尽，这究竟是他的幸运或是不幸。我们不也是对一些身外之物着了魔吗，金钱、声誉、权力，最终我们也许也免不了和它们同归于尽的命运。也许我们最后才发现，我们想要的不是史矛革盘踞的财富，也不是索伦称霸世界的权利，只是想像精灵一样隐居在埃文戴尔，只是想像比尔博在清晨坐在树袋洞外吐出一个又一个烟圈。

其中最令我感动的一个片段：Frodo在城头受魔戒诱惑，差点带上戒指，幸被Sam拦下。

Sam:"It's me. It's your Sam. Don't you konw your Sam?"

Frodo:"I can't do this, Sam."

Sam:"I know, it's all wrong.By rights, we shouldn't even be here.

But we are.

It's like in the great stories, Mr.Frodo.

The one that really mattered.Full of darkness and danger they were.

And sometimes you didn't want to konw the end,

because how could the end be happy?

How could the world go back to the way it was,

when so much bad had happened?"

Theoden:"Victory!We have victory!"

Sam:"But in the end, it's only a passing thing,

this shadow, even darkness must pass.

A new day will come.

And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer.

Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something.

Even if you were too small to understand why, but I think, Mr.Frodo.

I do understand.I know now.

Folk in those stories,

had lots of chances of turning back, onlythey didn't.

They kept going, because they were holdingon to something."

Frodo:"What are we holdingon to, Sam?"

Sam:"Thatthere's some goodin this world,

Mr.Frodo,and it's worthfighting for."

我希望我们都可以找到这个世界上美好的东西，并为此奋斗下去。
