B型血游记第七篇- 厉害了,维尔纽斯出生的这部宪法
以前我从没听说过维尔纽斯这个城市,这是立陶宛的首都。
立陶宛1991年从苏联独立出来,现在是立陶宛共和国。立陶宛的总统是今年64岁的单身女性-达利娅·格里包斯凯特Dalia Grybauskaite,空手道黑带高手,通晓英语、法语、俄语、波兰语。她09年当选立陶宛总统,是个受国民爱戴的强硬干练的女强人。独立27年后的今天,维尔纽斯已经是一个现代化的欧洲城市。
对于像我这样无知的游人来说,维尔纽斯和别的欧洲城市也真的没有什么区别:一条美丽的河道蜿蜒流过市中心,这条河叫维尔尼亚河,白天可见河上徜徉的游船,两岸树木郁郁葱葱,各式新老建筑鳞次栉比,很多桥梁横跨两岸。晚间,万家灯火隔岸相望,彩灯点亮的横桥如霓虹出水,水面上飘着小城繁华的倒影。
维尔纽斯最值得称道的是它的旧城,规模属欧洲最大的旧城之一,有将近1500座跨几个世纪的建筑物,著名的包括多哥特式风格的圣安娜教堂、文艺复兴式主教座堂及其广场和Gediminas 城堡,另外,一条条通幽古巷自成风景,使整个小城错落有致,魅力独特,在1994年维尔纽斯旧城被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。

维尔纽斯和立陶宛一道在历史上是个被宰割的地盘,曾隶属德国,波兰和俄罗斯,苏联等周边大国。二战时德国人在这片土地上屠戮了几十万犹太人,而最近发现的一处万人坑证明斯大林苏维埃政府也曾在此涂炭生灵。庆幸今天在这儿看到的是一派祥和的景象。我们住了两个晚上,记得第一个傍晚,我们吃过晚餐,坐在圣安娜教堂广场的长椅上小憩。那个时辰,广场中心悬挂着一个空中餐厅,据说只有夏天的两个月才可以享受;餐厅之上的碧蓝天空放飞着各色蒸汽球,由远及近,擦过一片橘红色的屋顶,飘向远处;脚边鸽子嘀咕,身旁路人轻笑,路畔酒菜飘香。第二天的日落时分,我们改去坐在主教坐堂前的广场上,据说年底教皇会来这里访问,所以教堂正在为此紧锣密鼓的装修。夕阳如期而至,毫不吝啬地大笔涂抹着这个世界地图上的微小存在-黄色如金,金色如彤!

维尔纽斯还有一个去处值得推荐,就是Galve湖边的特拉凯城堡。从维尔纽斯市过去开车一小时左右。这是个很美的去处。城堡是14世纪立陶宛王国公爵建的家居城堡,后来用作防御工事,又用作监狱,几经战乱终成废墟。我们现在看到的是上个世纪五六十年代修复的。最好的景观实际上是从湖边望去的景致,好像是镶在水中的迪斯尼城堡,又仿佛是蓝天碧水之间的一座海市蜃楼。走进去时要经过一条绿茵长堤,堤边有小船轻荡,野鸭游弋,还有手风琴声悠扬。城堡是一色红砖外观,里面的院落不大,有些老式刑具供游人玩赏。如果真的有机会去那里,我建议一定要绕着城堡走一圈,看看周围的湖景,另外离开之前在湖边的餐厅吃上一只那里的烤酥皮角Pastie。Pastie是当地的名吃,而这里做的又最有名。一般是羊肉馅儿的,我不吃羊肉,就要了鸡肉馅儿的,的确好吃,外酥里鲜,名不虚传。

如果问起今天的维尔纽斯什么最著名,前面说的旧城和城堡恐怕都不如“对岸共和国”更有名有趣。1997年愚人节那天,住在维尔纽斯旧城东区河岸的几个艺术家向联合国递交了一份申请,并宣布在其聚集地成立一个独立的共和国,叫对岸共和国(Uzupis respublika)。他们有自己的国旗、货币、护照、宪法,并成立了一支12人的“军队”,还设有总统。当地有艺术画廊,艺坊和零星咖啡馆,据说去那里最重要的一点是要保持微笑。可惜我们没有机会在那里停留,导游说如今能看到的也就是钉在墙上的41条宪法章程了,还把章程的照片传给我们看,让我们一车人觉得十分有意思。我回来去网上找到了英文的宪法章程看看,有些真的令人忍俊不禁 。想起要是文学城哪天宣布为独立共和国,其中的几条倒是可以借鉴,比如:
21. Everyone has the right to appreciate their unimportance. 每个人都有权利对自己的不重要性有所欣赏;
24. Everyone has the right to understand nothing. 每个人都有权利保持无知;
32. Everyone is responsible for their freedom每个人要对自己的自由负责;
34. Everyone has the right to be misunderstood. 每个人都享有被误解的权利;
35. No one has the right to make another person guilty. 没人拥有让他人感觉内疚的权利。。。
有时候旅行带给人的不仅是视觉和心灵的经验,还有脑筋急转弯的乐趣。我在维尔纽斯获得了这样的乐趣。
