我的琥珀情结 My Interest  in Amber

1. 琥珀不在晶莹剔透,有虫则珍贵 Be beautifully wrought carved is not of importance; amber is valuable treasure with insects in it.

我对琥珀情有独钟,特别是虫珀。你想啊,5000万年甚至数亿年前的生气勃勃有生命的可爱小动物植物栩栩如生地呈现在我们面前,翅膀胳膊腿清晰可见,该是怎样的激动和感动!他们可不是什么化石,而是完整的原生昆虫或树叶,能跨时空与他们见面,哪怕是小小的蚊子蚂蚁,又该是多么弥足珍贵!

I have special interest in amber, especially the insect amber. Let’s imagine that the energetic and lovely animals and plants of 50 million years or even hundreds of millions of years ago now vividly appear in front of us, wings, arms and legs clearly visible, how excited and moved we would be! They are not fossils, but complete protozoan insects or leaves. How precious and amazing to be able to return back in time and space to meet them, even a small mosquito or ant!

下面的琥珀不过是一只烟嘴。不过你知道吗,在这个世界上,可能只有两个这样的琥珀烟嘴,而且当初持有者的烟嘴盒一同保存了下来,两者均完好无损。这样价值连城的稀世珍宝,一件保存在格但斯克琥珀博物馆(曾以高价从海外购回)作为该博物馆的镇馆之宝,而另一件现在则保存在J.Yang手中。

The amber below is just a cigarette holder. Do you know, however,  that in this world, there may be only two such rare and precious amber cigarette holders, and they were saved together with their boxes, both intact. About such invaluable treasures, one is kept in the Museum of World Amber Association in Gdansk (it was once purchased back to Poland at high price from abroad) as the best treasure of the museum, and the other one, now,  is kept in the hands of J.Yang.
