Nine out of 10 people have run up unsecured debt and many fear they will never be able to pay back what they owe, a survey has claimed.

Around 89% of people aged between l|8 and 35 said they owed money on a credit card, loan or overdraft, the research showed.

A third of people admitted they did not think- they would ever be debt-free, 54% of whom said they would always need to borrow money in order to fund the lifestyle they wanted.

One in five of these people also claimed they were not worried about the possibility of their debts being passed on to their next of kin if they died before they were repaid.

Just over half who owed money said they did not feel in control of their debt, with 8% admitting they had needed to ask for help with repayments from a friend or family member.Eight out of 10 people also told the research for discount website MyVoucherCodes.co.uk that they thought it was too easy to borrow money through their bank or on credit cards.

Farhad Farhadi, MyVoucherCodes.co.uk’s personal finance expert, said: "The majority of British adults owe money m some way, shape or form, but to see that almost a third think they’ll never be free c ^ from debt is quite alarming.

"When borrowing money from any source, how you are going to repay it should always be in the back of your mind.

"A lot of people don’t-really think about ’die consequences of borrowing money and it can be easy to get complacent, but keeping it all under control should be a priority from the off.Only borrow what you really think you can afford to pay back."

一窠八哥的谜

牛汉

小时候,我不会养鸟,却有探险和猎取神秘事物的野性。有一年的麦收季节,听说城墙上出现了一窠八哥,我在城墙下绕来绕去寻找。果然,听到了一丝儿很_A_(zhì nèn)而清脆的声音,似出壳不久的雏鸡的叫声。顺着细微的声音找去,终于望见了在高高城墙上的一孔洞穴里,四五张鲜红的小嘴正张着,像一束喇叭花悬挂在崖畔上,好看极了。我当下就想把它们掏下来。但壁立的城墙太高太陡,无法攀登。八哥的窠在城墙的上方,用梯子够不着,从城墙上用绳子缒下来一定可以掏着,但我不敢。我只能立在城墙跟前,仰起头望着那一窠神秘的八哥。

记得父亲曾对我说过,县城墙最早是隋朝时筑的土城,明朝时包的青砖。墙面上已经有一些砖朽烂成窟窿,我异想天开,想攀登上去掏这窠八哥。

全村的孩子中,我最会爬墙上树,我相信自己会手扣着脚登着那些孔洞往上攀登,总有一天能把这窠八哥掏到手。

我天天练攀登,苦练了一二十天,一天比一天攀登得高。小八哥的爹妈从天空嗖的一声回到窠里喂食,翅膀又黑又亮,在我眼前一闪而过,随后从窠里伸出头,朝下望着我,吱吱地叫,我知道它们在咒骂我。有几次,头发上落了雨点似的鸟粪,还有脏土。我心里明白,这是大八哥在对我进行反抗。

小八哥抖动着茸茸的羽毛,我闻到了奇异的鸟的气味,再往上攀登三五尺,就能够着八哥了。

一天清早,我来到城墙下,感到有点异样——没有听到小八哥的声息。前几天,我已听出小八哥的声音变得洪亮了起来,不再是嗷嗷待哺,而是牙牙学语,已经很像在歌唱。八哥的歌,一定不同于鸽子那种柔媚而混浊的声音,更不是麻雀_B_(cū cāo)的吵叫,也不同于村里八音会上的任何一种乐器声。

整个城墙显得铁青铁青,千疮百孔,像死了一样。我顿然明白,八哥一家已经飞走了,已经移居到不可知的远方。

叫卖黄酒的小栽根告诉我,天亮前后,他看见有一朵黑亮的云彩,向滹沱河那个方向飞走了,那一定就是八哥一家。我伤心地扒在城墙上哭了半天。我知道小八哥还没长到该出飞的时候,它们如何在大鸟翅羽的扶托下逃到了远方,真是一个猜不透的谜。我为它们担忧。

我曾在村子上空看见成千上万只蜜蜂嗡嗡叫着,扶托着它们不会飞的蜂王,像金黄色的云朵从天空飞过,后来落在我家院子的老槐树下,父亲用涂了蜜的大笊篱把抱成团儿的蜂小心地收了下来,于是我家有了一窠蜜蜂,养在西房的屋顶上。

我想连那么小的蜜蜂都能扶托着蜂王飞,那窠小八哥一定能够让自己的父母扶托着飞走。但是我不大相信它们能飞得很远。我在村里村外到处寻找,没有发现八哥的踪影。它们究竟飞到什么地方?难道真的飞过了滹沱河,飞到了二十里以远的北山上?是的,一定飞到了那个郁郁葱葱的鸟的世界

我这一辈子不会忘记这窠小八哥。而且直到现在也不明白:它们在大难临头的时候,如何能神奇地飞到了远方?

前几天,有个诗人听我讲述这个故事,沉思了一会儿,对我说:“是小鸟自己飞的。在灾难面前,翅膀一下子就会长大长硬。”

我有点相信这个解释了。

真的,是小八哥自己飞走的。我怎么会想不到这一点?
