看完这本书很久了，不知道该说些什么或者不说些什么，积极的情感和消极的一面同时在心底产生，渺小，无奈，笃定，思辨，悲哀，怅然，淡定，豁达，无数的感觉掺杂在了一起。好在书的末尾采用了平扬的手法，尽量让人看毕有些积极情绪的产生。也许如书中所述，蚁人本是同类。

书采用漫画的形式讲述了一只蚂蚁和阳光的故事，从害怕阳光到热爱光明，尽数一只小蚂蚁的心路历程。漫画几乎只有黑白两种颜色，书页上大片的空白，只画了一只小小的蚂蚁。“我是一只蚂蚁，你看不见我，并非我的世界一片黑暗，只是因为我小得难以进入你的视线 I am an ant. You can't see me. It is not because my world is too dark, but because I am too little to enter your sight.”

"
在一片汪洋之中，除了任由渺小的自己随波逐流之外，别无他策。
In the vast expanse of water, I —a tiny little ants—had no choice, but been carried along by the tide.

人们喜欢在纸上画各种各样的风景，想用纸把风景留住。
　我和我的朋友都只喜欢在纸上漫步，回忆美好的时光，却不留任何痕迹，因为我们已把风景记在了心里。
People like to capture scenery of paper, hoping that the paper can keep it the same forever.
My friend and I just like rambling on the paper, recalling the time, and left no trace,
because we had already painted so much beauty in our hearts.

小时候喜欢蹲在地上看蚂蚁，总是能从蚂蚁的生活中发现许多乐趣。大了以后不再看蚂蚁，而只顾及自己，蚂蚁从我的世界中远去。偶尔从“动物世界”中再看到蚂蚁，带着一种人的宽容与自以为是，总感觉蚂蚁很像人，它们和人一样觅食、繁衍、结群、打架，甚至像人一样知道埋葬同伴的尸体。某一天又蹲下来仔细地看蚂蚁，才发现原来不是蚂蚁像人，而是人才真正像蚂蚁。高高在上时，人看不见蚂蚁，以为人可以主宰小小蚂蚁的生命，蹲下来时，才发现人和蚂蚁一样值得怜悯，人在宇宙之中脆弱如蚂蚁。只有放低自己，蹲下来看世界才会发现世界的真谛。人和蚂蚁，本是同类。

When I was a little child, I was fond of squatting down to watch ants. Their lives were so amusing and interesting to me. But when I have grown up, I rarely watched them any more. I spent all my time on my own concerns, and ants fade away from my world. Once in a while, when I watched a special TV program “Animal World” with human being’s tolerance and arrogance, I found that ants were similar to human beings. They seek for food, reproduce, form groups, fight, and bury their companions’ body as we do. But one day, when I squatted down to see the ants again, I realized that it is not ants than look like human, but human that is like ants. From our high perspective, we can’t see ants clearly. We believe that the little ants are under our control. But when we get close to them, we could realize that human beings are pitiable as ants. Because when we are in the vast universe, we are as fragile as ants. The only way to find the truth of the world is to squat down to watch the world carefully by placing ourselves in a lower position. In essence, human beings and ants are the same."

这本书是在查询《不裁》的时候看到的，同样也是朱赢椿的设计。虽然这本书在德国莱比锡被称之为是“世界最美的书”，但我觉得2本同样的美，同样值得收藏。可以一读再读的书。
