青青之島

文學大家梁實秋曾說，竊以為真正令人流連不忍去的地方，應推青島。

何謂青島？是紅瓦綠樹，碧海藍天；是帆船之都，宜人之城。云端之下，山海之間，海拔一千多米的嶗山主峰，俯視著大海，九百多公里的黃金海岸線，綿延長遠。

這，就是青島，有山的巍峨，海的連綿，還有城的風情萬種。

七月的青青之島，海清，浪平，云高，鳥飛，一切都美得剛剛好。關于海濱城市的所有向往，歸根結底來源于“海”。站在海岸邊，抑或是行至棧橋，偶有一兩海鷗翱翔而過，一瞬間，夏天的氣息吹拂過臉。這般夏日，翻滾的浪花，卷走一切，也卷走了生活的所有不平靜。不如赤腳，踏于沙灘，看人來人往，聽歡聲笑語。詩人臧克家曾言“不論大人孩子，全是赤身赤心，全成為大自然的兒童。”無論順境逆境、憂愁煩悶，在這黃金海岸，盡數成了泡影。

喜歡大海的人，都有一顆碧海青心，那是面對生活的豁達。生活萬事，不過柴米油鹽之事。海鮮與啤酒，是青島人對“靠山吃山，靠海吃海”這句古語的完美詮釋。當各式各樣的海鮮成群結隊出現在人們的餐盤中時，青島人對自然的尊重，也便體現得淋漓盡致。在青島，無論喜辣喜甜，愛酸愛咸，都能讓味蕾得到最大滿足。來青島，怎有不喝的道理？酒量佳者，喝到暢快；酒量略差，淺嘗微醺。無論是聞名酒界的罐裝啤酒，還是精釀店內的袋裝原漿，每一口，都是青島人一整年的辛勤。

春有百花秋有月，夏有涼風冬有雪。青青之島的七月，最是舒心醉人。利用零碎時間，到老街走走，看看那風格迥異的西方建筑，逛逛那些充滿店主創意的文藝小店；或者到海濱灣畔，看看海上晨曦、落日余暉，順便喂喂海上精靈；抑或到海邊書屋一坐，一杯咖啡，一本書，便度過一個下午的時光……驚喜也好，平淡也罷，這便是青青之島的魔力。不是所有的海濱城市，都叫青島。故而，就該到這里看看，才是不負好時光。

Qingdao has not only lofty mountains and rolling sea waves,but also city charm.

In Qingdao in July,there are lucid waters,calm waves,high clouds and flying birds.Everything is just right.On the Qingdao landing stage,there might be one or two seagulls flying overhead.At that moment,you could feel the breath of summer.In such summer days,rolling waves could sweep everything away,including all the unquiet elements of life.

Those who like the sea are all broad-minded,and generous in life.Everything in life is connected to fuel,rice,cooking oil and salt.Seafood and beer embody the perfect interpretation of the old saying:“One has to make use of local resources available,”uttered by the people of Qingdao.When all sorts of seafood appear on plates,the natives’ respect for nature is reflected incisively and vividly.

It is flowery in spring and has the bright moon in autumn;it is bathed in cool summer breezes and snows in winter.In Qingdao,July is the most pleasant and intoxicating time.In spare time,you may walk down the old streets to see those Western buildings in different styles,and visit those literary and art shops filled with shopkeepers’ creativity;or go to the bay to see sunrise and sunset over the sea,and casually feed those sea elves (gulls);or take a seat in a seaside bookshop to enjoy your afternoon with a cup of coffee and a book...Whether it is surprising or common,this is the magic of Qingdao.
