范文

My father's family were all town dwellers but my mother's family had been farmers for generations. My grandfather died in his 50s otherwise he would have taught me many of his skills.

Today's farming is highly mechanised and most farmers do their own repairs and welding. However, there is one skill that farmers leave to experts and that is the building of walls around fields. In the south of England the land is good and the fields are divided up by hedges made of hawthorn or box. In the north of England the land is poor, steep and rocky and so stone walls separate the fields.

The person I want to tell you about is a man called Edward Falshaw, a friend of my grandfather, who was known to everyone in the local patois as" Owd Ned" (Old Edward) he was the best wall maker for miles around. The walls are called" Dry Stone Walls" and use no mortar to hold them together, just the weight of the stone. The walls start off wide at the bottom with two rows of large stones and smaller stones are put in the middle. At intervals larger stone go right across the wall to hold it together. At the top larger stones keep water from going into the wall. The walls breathe and insects such as bumble bees live in them and when it snows, sheep can huddle against the wall to protect them from the wind. Even if the snow covers them, they can still breathe.

Ned was a joy to watch working; he could look at hundreds of stones all around him and pick just the right one to fill a space. He never hurried and promised that the walls he built would be still standing a hundred years after he had died. The ones I watched him built are certainly standing after 60 years. I learned the gift of patience and the importance of thinking before acting from Old Ned. He never worked to a timetable and there was always a sense of calm around him. He seemed to be able to sum up people's characters very well and any advice given was always good.

When I am out walking in my locality, I often stop and look at a dry stone wall. Some have not been well built and I think" Ned would never have built a wall like this." At other times, I see walls that must have been standing for well over 150 years with no maintenance and I wonder "if the guy who built this taught Owd Ned?"

There is something timeless about ancient crafts that gives you a sense of your own worth in history.

我父亲的家庭都是城镇居民，但我母亲的家庭世代都是农民。我祖父50多岁就去世了，否则他会教我很多他的技能。

今天的农业高度机械化，大多数农民自己修理和焊接。然而，农民有一项技能留给了专家，那就是在田地周围筑墙。在英格兰南部，土地肥沃，田野被山楂或盒子做成的树篱隔开。在英格兰北部，土地贫瘠、陡峭且多岩石，因此石墙将田地隔开。

我想告诉你的是一个叫爱德华·福尔肖的人，他是我祖父的朋友，当地人都知道他叫“Owd Ned”（老爱德华），他是几英里内最好的墙匠。这些墙被称为“干石墙”，不使用灰浆将它们固定在一起，只使用石头的重量。墙壁底部宽起，有两排大石头，小石头放在中间。每隔一段时间，较大的石头会穿过墙壁，将其固定在一起。在顶部，较大的石头可以防止水进入墙内。墙壁会呼吸，像大黄蜂这样的昆虫生活在里面，当下雪时，绵羊会蜷缩在墙壁上以保护自己免受风的侵袭。即使雪覆盖了他们，他们仍然可以呼吸。

奈德看着工作是一种乐趣；他可以看着周围数以百计的石头，挑一块合适的石头填满一个空间。他从不匆忙，并承诺自己修建的城墙在他去世一百年后仍将屹立不倒。我看着他建造的那些肯定在60年后依然屹立不倒。我从老内德那里学到了耐心的天赋和行动前思考的重要性。他从不按时间表工作，周围总是有一种平静的感觉。他似乎能够很好地总结人们的性格，给出的任何建议都是好的。

当我在当地散步时，我经常停下来看看一堵干石墙。有些墙建得不好，我想“奈德决不会建这样的墙。”在其他时候，我看到的墙壁肯定已经矗立了150多年，没有任何维护，我想知道“建造这座墙的人是否教过Owd Ned？”

古代手工艺有一些永恒的东西，让你感觉到自己在历史上的价值。
