圣诞节越来越近，到处已经披上了圣装，唱着圣诞歌，我为了买礼物也去了一趟纽约，在上海时，出门就可以逛淮海路，好久没逛五大道，拿着iphone照了几张，再ps一下，也算一组圣诞惊艳。

Dream green in Ireland---4
"人心所愿之土，其美永不褪衰。”19世纪的爱尔兰诗人叶芝曾经如此赞誉过他所热爱的土地。
"人心所愿之土，其美永不褪衰。”19世纪的爱尔兰诗人叶芝曾经如此赞誉过他所热爱的土地。
我感到舒适安静的是那彻底收敛的色彩。他们似乎不是在竞争热闹而是在竞争素淡。爱尔兰人很懂得审美，其实灰色里能够看出银色，不必真让它发亮，建筑是一种强制性的审美，一旦出现，谁的眼睛也躲不了，必须年年看、天天看。对老百姓来说不外是最好的一种审美教育。
爱尔兰弥漫着的人文气息，使我想起了走进都柏林机场的第一感觉，很多世界各地的机场，一般迎面扑来的都是巨幅的广告，俊男倩女的头像，而都柏林的机场里都是巨幅普通爱尔兰人的头像，男女老幼，各种身份都有，农民，工人，教师，学生，医生。。。。。完全是本色的巨幅相片，当时我只感到有点特别，但说不出所以然，现在理解了，似在告诉你，爱尔兰人贫穷过，经历过灾难，战争，守着田园牛羊，绿岛海滩，但我们自信，高贵，尊重历史，尊重自然，更尊重人的本身，每一个不同的人。
Blarney Castle (Irish: Caisleán na Blarnan) is a medieval stronghold in Blarney, near Cork, Ireland, and the River Martin. Though earlier fortifications were built on the same spot, the current keep was built by the MacCarthy of Muskerry dynasty, a cadet branch of the Kings of Desmond, and dates from 1446.[4] The noted Blarney Stone is found among the machicolations of the castle.
At the top of the castle lies the Stone of Eloquence, better known as the Blarney Stone. Tourists visiting Blarney Castle may hang upside-down over a sheer drop to kiss the stone, which is said to give the gift of eloquence. There are many legends as to the origin of the stone, but some say that it was the Lia Fáil—a magical stone upon which Irish kings were crowned.
Blarney Stone as kiss stone吸引了来之世界各地的游客， Blarney Castle的地基与岩石浑然一体，好像是从那里生出来似的。古堡的历史最初可以追溯到在1200年前，后来经历战争，几次被出售，转手，其中18世纪初由圣约翰爵士Jefferyes，当时的香港总督购买。Jefferyes家庭成员在附近建立一个豪宅。后来房子被火烧毁，现在那宏大的豪宅被称为布拉尼楼，她重建在1874年。
登上古堡的顶楼，可俯瞰附近的湖，广阔的花园，当然有兴趣可kiss 一下那块巧言石，见到不少游客以倒挂式，一个纯粹下降才能亲吻的石头，两边还需要有保驾，我探头向古堡下面一望，这一吻弄不好成千古的哟，还是笨嘴笨舌算了，被无数人吻过的石头还灵验？后来想想真没出息，闭嘴不提这块石头了。

12/12/12---today
12/12/12
三个12排在一起，是个特殊的日子吗? 好奇，网上一查：还道出不少有趣的meaning！
It’s the century’s last sequential date. For some, it represents luck. For others, it’s a day of romance. For most of us, it’s just another Wednesday. Regardless of your beliefs, 12/12/12 comes along with some rather amusing facts and superstitions.
According to Chinese numerology, the number one is a yang number which is ruled by the sun and represents independence and individualism. Two is a yin number which is ruled by the moon and represents symmetry and balance. When placed together, the number 12 brings harmony to the yin and yang, balancing the feminine energy of the moon with the masculine energy of the sun. So, what we can gather is that 12/12/12 equals lots of harmony.
CNN cited numerology experts as saying 12 — considered a "three" number because the digits add up to three — corresponds with the largest planet, Jupiter (to the sun's No. 1 and the moon's No. 2), which means wealth.
"If you're in a business of trading money, or the buying and selling of anything, tomorrow is a good day to make investments," Jumaani said Tuesday. "If you want to buy something — property, if you want to buy gold — it'd be a good day."
(In case you're wondering, the No. 1 planet is the sun, and the No. 2 planet is the moon.)
Palindrome lovers will rejoice in the fact that at 1:21:02 am, they can celebrate the second which marks a date-time combination which will be read the same both backwards and forwards. 2012-12-12 1:21:02 = 201212-1-212102.
. From culinary cuisine to calendars, 12 has been a significant number since its creation. Just think about it – 12 months in the year, 12 hours of night and day, 12 astrological signs, 12 Olympic gods and goddesses, 12 days of Christmas, and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Oh, and let’s not forget about eggs – which are cheaper by the dozen! With so much significance on its side, 12/12/12 was seemingly destined to be a meaningful day.
today 对我来说，是一个普通的星期三，对我的生命来说是仅有的一天，对我的人生来说一去不复返了，12/12/12。。。。。。good bye.

2012年25款最棒发明
这只是选出来的25项，科技也成了商品的宠物，与其说高科技产品给人类带来方便，功能，愉悦，不如说，人体的本能，原本的function在悄悄地退化，衰弱，更依赖于产品。
我越来越觉得自己是自然主义者，嗯！

同性恋州长
Washington (CNN) -- The Supreme Court will tackle the contentious issue of same-sex marriage, agreeing to hear two constitutional challenges to state and federal laws dealing with the recognition of gay and lesbian couples to legally wed.
朋友发来的这条消息，不知为什麽让我和现在正在放映的电影《lincoln》中解放黑奴联系在一起，当时也是很多人不同意，总统lincoln是共和党人，但他执意，冲破百般阻扰，最后国会众议院通过投票通过，“解放黑奴”现在有人会说是错了么？那么same-sex marriage将来通过合法结婚的法律后，marriage，same-sex marriage，同性恋，异性恋热闹死了。人类不是在进化，真的是在异化了么。
这篇是我2008年写的，当时对同性恋有点大惊小怪，而且是一位州长。
同性恋州长
我居住的新泽西州,在美国地图上并不显眼,嵌落在美国的东海岸,地形是起伏的丘岭,气候四季分明,繁花苍翠,并有长长的海岸线,由于紧挨着纽约,因此经 济,文化交流很活跃,生活水准也较高,都称它为"花园州"。
这花园州,新闻"花事''也不少,曾惊动一时,家喻互晓的是,两年多前,我们那上台仅两年 的,45岁的民主党州长杰米.迈可维,一天在州政府大厦前.突然向记者宣布"I am a gay of American''[.我是美国同性恋者].同时宣布将辞去州长职务及最后的期限,当时他的身旁,背后站着的是他的妻子,及他的父母亲,只见一脸尴尬。
这消息一传开,州民们都一片哗然,老美震惊的不是他是同性恋,因为同性恋在美国已不是新鲜事,许多州已通过同性恋合法结婚的法律,州民们震惊得是怎么选了 一位同性恋的州长,而且大家对他的期望都很高,他曾就读哈佛,及华盛顿的乔其亚大学政治系,精力充沛,能言善辩,政治生涯一路顺风,,年轻,正当大有作 为.选上州长后,再婚,家庭美满,刚添了一女儿,上台后,为新州也办了不少事,我印象较深的是他为儿童的读书课程拨钱,并参与制作广告,启示要创造条件帮 助儿童多读书.当然也受到亚裔的亲睐.这样一位大家心目中"完美''的州长,竟然是同性恋!而且是为了那另一半而撇下州民不干了,大家都急着想知道这东窗 事发的原由?
........这报纸就开始热闹了.新泽西州顿时一片锦绣.
我现在提起他,是因为他最近写了一本书,书名为"my confession''[我的忏悔],
他正在为书的出版而频频作宣传活动,并出现在美国著名黑人主持人奥伯拉的专题节目上,书是我还没看,但在回答奥伯 拉的问答中了解到,他在书中叙述了他长期生活在谎言下的心理经历,如何隐瞒自己性倾向的争扎,设法成为一位好学生,好儿子,好丈夫,好州 长,........一位公众的好形像,.......他同时忏悔,欺骗了大家,真正沉痛的是欺骗了自己,欺骗了妻子,也欺骗了上帝!,.......有 一句话,激起大家的鼓掌,''千万不要想方设法改变一个人的本性,'他不愧为学政治的,他是间接的请求原谅,特别是他的妻子的原谅!
在专题节目上,他坦然 他的性倾向,欣喜他回归本来的他,最后还把他现在的同性恋介绍给大家,
原来前面那位迫使他辞去州长的是同性恋者,是他雇庸的一位州政府治安人员, 以色列人,用保持同性恋的关系要挟他的钱财,当迈可维拒绝不肯,那以色列年青人提出要上诉,告发州长性侵犯,这样才引发了迈可维断然辞职,把自己同性恋的 身份公开化.恋情和权力搞在一起就成为肮脏的交易了.这真相爆出时,新州公民真的有点被骗的感觉!
不知是男女婚姻关系越来越脆弱,还是人类社会越来越开放,同性恋是越来越多,同性恋的课题也越来越热门.我们一位朋友的儿子,从小和我儿子一起长大,大二时,他在学校宣布自己是同性恋者,熟悉他的人都将信将疑,父母也赶快搬走躲避起来.......他就读的大学,校园 正座落在纽约有名的"格林威治村'',是同性恋集聚的地方......每当儿子和我们在一起,我们总是有意无意的讨论这件事,.......儿子见我一脸 狐疑,立即两眼正视前方,严肃地说:mom, I am not a gay!此刻,我抬起头来看儿子,wow ,新泽西州还是一片锦绣, god bless!
莫言小说读后感
莫言小说读后感
他的代表作
|
最近网上有人贴了莫言的《白棉花》，读完了写几句。仅对这篇《白棉花》而言，和诺贝尔奖无关。
很奇怪，莫言明明写的是一个悲剧，我读读会笑出来，是不是莫言的文句太逗，还是他的那对小密眼。
说老实话，他不得诺贝尔奖，我也不会去读他的这篇小说。
写在二十年前的短篇小说，还是不错的，能写农民真实的生活处境，及内心世界，很生动，大胆，还描述了农民的做爱场景，前戏曲折艰难，打暗号，挖坑道，又以一句“李大哥。。。。。我豁出去了。。。。”而达高潮，莫言很会渲染气氛，他把小说的主角放在一个低痞，旁观者的位置，是莫言这篇小说聪明的地方，农民作家莫言很会假惺惺，可窥见为人的圆滑。

其实他是想塑造一位“东方烈女”，写这题材文章是很多的，记得白先勇的《玉卿嫂》,
还有纽约百老汇曾经上演的《西贡小姐》,红楼梦里也有一位尤二姐等等。都是描写东方女性，对爱情的执着，珍惜，倾心于真爱，当发现被负遗弃，决绝而以身殉情，都是以悲剧性的命运告终。但莫言却添加一段情节：有人猜测，说方碧玉挖出一具几个月前死去的女工尸体，把尸体扔进机器，她自己跑了。这种猜测就不符合他写得人物，也不合乎情节，很牵强，是败笔。这篇《棉花》莫言的文字很顺溜，但没有美感，还不及白先勇的《玉卿嫂》，主题和人物很清楚，文字功底精好。
写一位女性，我最被震撼的是夏洛蒂。勃朗特的《简爱》，简爱是灰姑娘色的，贫穷低贱的身世，相貌平平，自小人生的命运就坎坷，历尽苦难。但勃朗特全力以赴地塑造她那高尚的灵魂和积极进取的性格，“你以为，我因为穷，低微，矮小，不美，没有心吗？你想错了，我的灵魂和你一样，我的心也完全和你一样。。。。我们站在上帝面前，是平等的，--------因为我们是平等的。”字字呼出心声，她写出一位女人强烈的内心世界，对爱的追求，能勇敢地面对自己的困境，突出了精神美对人的重要性和女人追求独立平等的思想，勃朗特浓郁的抒情笔调和细腻的心理描写，是以抒发人类内心世界的激情来赢得读者。记得无论读书还是看电影上海电影译制厂71年版的，我都会泪流满面。

David Garrett---德国小提琴手
David Garrett---德国小提琴手
德国小提琴手，是位帅哥，长着一对有点忧郁的眼睛，笑起来很可爱迷人。他领衔的摇滚交响乐很有风格，把一首一首经典的名曲用摇滚交响乐来演绎，激情四射，女朋友也很漂亮，德国人是疯狂的·严谨的，但他们出奇的有秩序。德语由这位帅哥来说也好听多了，都说德语的语调有一种顿挫昂扬的魅力，当年希特勒在纽伦堡广场上的演讲，曾经莫名其妙使成千上万人振奋，疯迷，追随过。
，我惊奇怎么至今才知道？你知道吗？
David Garrett (born as David Bongartz on 4 September 1981) is a classical violinist and recording artist.
Garrett received his first Stradivarius at the age of 11, courtesy of German president Richard von Weizs□ker, after having performed for him. At the age of 13, Garrett recorded two CDs, appeared on German and Dutch television, and gave a concert in the residence of the Federal Republic of Germany President, the Villa Hammerschmidt, at Dr. von Weizs□kerós personal invitation.[citation needed] He was offered the use of the famous Stradivarius "San Lorenzo",[when?] which is among the best instruments of the "golden period".
At the age of 13, as the youngest soloist ever, Garrett signed an exclusive contract withDeutscheGrammophon Gesellschaft.In April 1997, age 16, he played with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Zubin Mehta in Delhi and Mumbai in concerts marking the 50th anniversary
of Indiaós Independence.
Two years later, Garrett played with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester in Berlin,under the direction of Rafael Fr□beck de Burgos, and was hailed by critics.This led to an invitation to perform at Expo 2000 in Hannover. At the age of 21, he was invited to perform at the BBC Proms.

太喜欢他了，最后那段名曲 “nothing else matter”，
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
