我和玛琳娜的相识是在地铁。她当时正好坐在我的身旁,专心致志地读着一本书,俄文封皮上印有一个大大的中文黑体字“禅”。这引起我的好奇,开始注意她。玛琳娜是个五十岁左右的女人,面容清癯,相貌靖庄,一副深色眼镜架在高高的鼻梁上。她的鼻子长得特别漂亮,不像一般的俄国人微微翘起或凹陷,而是不大不小,笔直挺拔,颇有一点古典美。我问她看得懂中国佛家的“禅”吗?她 My acquaintance with Marlene is in the subway. She was sitting right beside me at the time, devotedly reading a book with a large Chinese “Zen” printed on the Russian envelope. This aroused my curiosity, began to pay attention to her. Marlene is a fifty-year-old woman, face clear, looks Jing Zhuang, a pair of dark glasses frame on the tall nose. Her nose looks particularly beautiful, unlike the average Russian slight tilt or depression, but not small, straight, quite a bit classical beauty. I asked her how she understood the “Zen” of Chinese Buddhism?
