彼方的神庙

旅馆前台左侧的墙上挂着一张酒店外观照片。头次住这家酒店，也是第一次看到这张照片。网上订房时心里有事，房间都是随便选的，没在旅店网站上看它的图片。可现在墙上这张照片却让我感到一丝诡异的熟悉，好像曾在哪儿见过。心底虽感觉那大概是错觉，可还是不能于心释然……点击文章标题👆阅读全文 ->

1 On the side wall of the reception desk hung a framed photo of the hotel’s exterior. I was sure it was the first time I had seen it; I had booked the room without much browsing on the site. Yet something about the image rang with an eerie familiarity, as if I had encounteredContinueContinue reading “Temple on the Farside”

如是我闻

莎士比亚这首诗，你要是从来没有读过，去找来读一下；你要是从来没有听人朗诵过，一定要点击一下下面这个录像，听一下。你要是听不懂，那就去学习，学到你能听懂为止。 The Incredible Harriet Walter 我觉得 Harriet Walter 的朗诵，属于顶级的了吧。终究是英国诗，还是只有英国人会念。朗诵人的简介：Dame Harriet Mary Walter is an English actress. She is the receiver of an Olivier Award and nominations for a Tony Award, five Emmy Awards, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. In 2011, Walter was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire forContinueContinue reading “如是我闻”

指名道姓

我们公司刚雇了一个项目经理，名字叫做 “Craig Lose”。每次一路过他的办公桌，看见他的名字，心里就纳闷：“为什么好端端的，非要把自家叫做 “要输”；就不会叫个 “要赢” 吗？”

Dina in the Rain

“Le Baiser” de Niképhoros Lytras (1832-1904) 1 In the evening Dina Papádopoulou came. She wore a simple wrap dress, a pair of barely-there heels, and carried a small foldable umbrella in her hand.

The inspiration for this post came from a lab analyst’s comment I recently saw: “Carryover did not meet criteria (28% carryover). Plate was stored in AB-123-4567 to be ran on different system.” Now, this kid’s name is not Wang Xiao Qu or Nikolai Petrov, but your ordinary John J. Smith, native-born, raised on cheeseburgers andContinueContinue reading “Everything’s Fine Until You Go to School”

Drop the Isms, Pick Up the Chopsticks!

1. The Norwegian Professor and the Mushroom Dish One time, a Norwegian professor came to our university to give a talk. Afterward, we took him to lunch. Everyone at the table was handed a copy of the menu and courteously asked to pick a dish of their own liking. Our foreign guest, a big fanContinueContinue reading “Drop the Isms, Pick Up the Chopsticks!”
