當你是真實的時候,你不會介意會痛 - 但並不表示不痛, 我猜 ...................

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room.  "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse.  "It's a thing that happens to you.  When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful.  "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse.  "You become.  It takes a long time.  That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.  Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby.  But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

馬葛力.威廉斯(Margery Williams)有一本美麗的著作《兔寶寶》(the velveteen rabbit),當中對於經由愛所揭示的真實(realness)有精闢的闡述。

  「什麼叫真實?」有一天兔寶寶問了這個問題,「那是指你裏面有個東西在滋滋作響,還有你身上帶了根把手嗎?」

  「真實跟你長的樣子沒有關係。」木馬說。

  「那是某個發生在你身上的事,當一個小朋友愛你很久、很久的一段時間,他不只是跟你玩而已,他真的很愛你,於是你就變成真實的了。」

  「那樣會痛嗎?」兔寶寶問。

  「有時候會的,」木馬回答,以他一貫的真誠說:「當你是真實的時候,你不會介意會痛。」

  「那是一次就發生完畢,就象上了發條一樣;還是一點一滴慢慢發生的?」

  「那不是發生一次就結束的。」木馬說。

  「要花很長的時間,你才會成為那樣。所以說真實不常發生在容易壞掉的人或是長尖角的人,還有需要被悉心照料的人身上。一般說來,當你真實的時候,你大部分的毛髮已經脫落、眼珠子掉了、手腳松落、衣衫不整。可是這些事一點都不要緊,因為一旦當你真實的時候,你怎麼樣都是美的,除了在不懂的人眼中看來之外……一旦你真實的時候,你不會再變回不真實,真實永遠存在。」

  愛使你真實起來……………………..

圖書內容:

兔子故事裡最特殊的一隻兔子,卻是出版於1922年的一隻天鵝絨兔子(「The Velveteen Rabbit」)。別的竄紅的兔子主角至少在故事裡都是隻活生生的兔子,但這隻天鵝絨兔子卻只是一隻布偶兔子。天鵝絨兔是故事裡小男孩走到哪裡就要帶到哪裡的玩具,它身上的毛被男孩摸掉了,鼻上的布也給親破了,但是男孩不在意,他真心真意的愛著這隻破爛的天鵝絨兔子。沒想到有一天男孩生病了,醫生說他身旁的所有玩具都得燒掉。於是天鵝絨兔被丟到花園裡等待焚燒,然而由於男孩長期的愛,這隻兔子竟然在花園裡掉下了一顆眼淚,眼淚喚出了布偶精靈,終於在他被燒毀前將他化成了一隻真的兔子。「The Velveteen Rabbit」是作者Margery Williams為孩子寫的第一本書,也是最受歡迎的一本。七十多年來,有數不清的畫者為此書重新畫了插畫,至今在美國到任何一個圖書館、書局,都能找出至少三種版本的書和錄影帶。
