6. 【文學選讀】 「我常常覺得,所謂鄉愁,其實就是一個人從懵懂的整體,裂為有意識的碎片之後,想再尋回完整的那種願望。童年,是一枚未剖開的橘子,所有甜與美的汁液,都包藏在同一個圓體之內。你不知道橘皮之外,另有天地,也懶於去想。於是,所有的人事,都是你的。及至離鄉,那橘子被人一刀剖開,汁液流濺,你才驚覺,原來完整的早已失去。」——簡媜《水問》 在這段文字中,「未剖開的橘子」象徵著什麼?
童年時期天真、圓滿且自我中心的世界

作者用「未剖開的橘子」比喻童年,說明那是一個完整、自足的狀態(所有甜與美的汁液,都包藏在同一個圓體之內),對外界沒有過多認知(不知道橘皮之外,另有天地)。這個比喻精準地描繪了童年時代那種天真、圓滿、世界以我為中心的狀態。離鄉則像是橘子被剖開,象徵著這種完整性的破裂,鄉愁便是想尋回這種完整感的願望。
