苗栗桐花祭


2007/5/1 苗栗頭份賞桐花............... 花兒的存在雖然短促,留給人們的感動卻是長久的.....





















Adonis 是誰?



Adonis阿杜尼斯,是希臘神話中的美男子之一,

俊美勇敢的獵人(凡人),維納斯愛上了他,
在神話中他代表的是充滿歡樂卻短暫的春天。
因此在英語的使用中,Adonis就成為年輕貌美男子的同義字


Though he doesn’t resemble Adonis, he does fine with women.

因此這句話應該翻成:雖然他並非貌似潘安,但他和異性保持著良好的關係。

下雨天,讀書天

今天沒課,選擇在家休息。
從中午新店就開始下雨,大雨一直下個不停,
想起從國中時,就很喜歡在下雨天時,待在屋簷旁,
聽著雨聲,讀著喜愛的書籍...
今天也可以做同樣的事,真是令人高興:〉

常見介系詞的to,在動詞後特別注意喔!(加動名詞)

以下動詞片語中的to 是介系詞的to而非不定詞中的to,
所以後面要加動名詞(-ing)而非動詞原形(V)

1.be accustomed to (習慣於)
2. in addition to (除...之外(還))
3. be committed to (忠誠的)
4. be devoted to (專心致力於)
5. look forward to (期待)
6. object to (反對)
7. be opposed to (反對)
8. be used to (習慣於)

part 與 a part 的差別

part: less than the whole,
a part: less than the half of the whole,
所以 part 比全部少,為部分,
a part 通常是指比全部的一半還少的部分,
所以用a part有強調"只"是部分,一些些的意思

Flying without wings

最近很喜歡一首英文歌,Flying Without Wings 西城男孩唱的,
歌名有人翻成『展翅高飛』,有人翻成『為愛而飛』

Flying Without Wings
Everybody's looking for a something
One thing that makes it all complete
You'll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lovers eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary night
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
You find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing You're flying without wings
So, impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Cos who's to know
which one you let go
Would have made you complete
Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sun rise on your face
To know that I can say I love you at any given time or place
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
Cos you're my special thing I'm flying without wings
You’re the place my life begins
You'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings

沈睡19年之後

A polish man who spent 19 years in a coma has woken up and will now have to adapt to a country where the communists are no longer in power, a television station announced Friday.
Railwayman Jan Grzebski fell into a coma after he was hit by a train in 1988, the private channel Polsat said. In an interview, Grzebski said that he owed his survival to his wife, Gertruda. "She's the one who always took care of me. She saved my life," he said. Grzebski was a father of four at the time of the accident. He is now making the acquaintance of 11 grandchildren. Doctors had not expected Grzebski to survive, let alone emerge from the coma.
"What amazes me today is all these people who walk around with their mobile phones and never stop moaning. I've got nothing to complain about," said Grzebski.

沈睡了19年, 在一個完全不一樣的世界中醒來, 時代變了, 兒孫也滿堂了, 劇情實在太像美國文學中The Legend of Rip Van Winkle的故事了,然而這卻是二十一世紀的真人實事,不曉得他對電腦及網路所帶給人們生活的巨大改變有何感想?
