Lesson Transcript

端午
每到端午節，對於我來說，首先想到的是龍舟，而不是粽。因為龍舟是我的童年最美的記憶。可惜的是，離開家鄉已經快11個年頭了。所以，每年都特希望能夠在端午節回一次家。工作這麼多年，只有在那一年，有機會藉出差的機會在端午節回去過了一把龍舟癮。
每年的龍舟比賽都是在五月初一開始，到五月初六結束。這一個星期，就是童年的我最期待的一個星期。
比賽就在我家前面的那條小河。小河並不寬，不超過30米，還不直，頂多也就夠3條龍舟並排競技。所以我很奇怪，是什麼人把這樣一項比賽放在了這樣的一條河上。不過我們村的人都很高興，因為周圍臨近的村子的龍舟都要到我們村才能比賽，這樣，我們坐在家門口，甚至陽台上，就可以看比賽了。而不需要像其他村的人，專門要趕過來。
我小學就在河邊，次次龍舟划過，我們只要一擰頭，就可以從教師後面的窗裡看到了。所以，每年划龍舟的時候，學校下午都要停課——不停課也冇辦法，那時候誰還聽得入去呢。這也是我們鍾意龍舟的原因。
賽龍舟其實算不上比賽，因為冇人組織，冇裁判，冇獎金，冇名次。就是每天下午各條村將龍舟划到一齊，看上哪條龍舟，就互相招呼一聲——不如鬥一轉？然後就鳴鼓開鬥了。
