十句大实话  (作者置顶)
 1.遇到乞讨者:遇到要钱的就给他(她)点饭,遇到要饭的就给他(她)点钱。
   
2.上车遇到老弱病残、孕妇:让座的时候别动声色,也别大张旗鼓。站起来用身体 挡住其他人留出空位子给需要的人,然后装作下车走远点。人太多实在走不远,人家向你表示谢意的时候微笑一下。.

3.雨雪的时候、天冷的傍晚或者是雪天的傍晚,遇到卖菜的、卖水果的、卖报纸的剩的不多了又不能回家,能全买就全买,不能全买就买一份,反正吃什么也是吃,看什么也是看,买下来让人早点回家。

4.遇到迷路的小孩和老头老太太,能送回家送回家,不能送回家的送上车、送到派出所也行,如果有电话的替老人或小孩打个电话就走,反正你也不缺那两个电话费。

5.遇到迷路的人打听某个地址,碰巧你又知道,就主动告诉一声。别不好意思,没有人笑话你。

6.捡到钱包就找找失主,如果你实在缺钱就把现金留下。打电话告诉失主就说你在 厕所里捡到的。把信用卡、身份证、驾驶执照还给人家,一般人家也不会在乎钱了。把人家的地址记在你的笔记本上,以后发达了去找人家道个谦,把钱还给人家。

7.遇到学生出来打工的、勤工俭学的,特别是中学生、小姑娘。她卖什么你就买点,如果她不是家庭困难,出来打工也需要勇气的,鼓励鼓励她吧。

8.遇到夜里摆地摊的,能买就多买一些,别还价,东西都不贵。家境哪怕好一点,谁会大冷天夜里摆地摊。

9.如果钱还宽裕,别养二奶,偷偷养几个贫困山区的学生。别让人家知道你是谁,要不然见面了多尴尬,多不好意思。但是你心里一定会觉得舒坦,比包二奶提心吊胆的要好得多。如果真想包也可以包一个,好事坏事一起做。人吗,本来就复杂。

10.如果大家时间还宽裕,而且碰巧觉得我这个人还顺眼,那就顶一下我的贴子,总比去顶看了觉得上当的贴子舒服 .顺便也能让大家多看看

Learning Skills You Can Learn in College

The Covert Curriculum: The Lifelong Learning Skills You Can Learn in College

by Drew Appleby, Director of Undergraduate Studies in Psychology - Indiana University-Purdue University IndianapolisFaculty/Teaching/Curriculum

Two distinct curricula exist within a college student's undergraduate experience. The obvious one--the overt curriculum--consists of the classes listed on the student's transcript and the knowledge the student acquires in these classes (i.e., specific facts, concepts, and theories). The less obvious--but more important curriculum--is the covert curriculum, which is composed of the skills and characteristics the student develops as a result of successfully completing the overt curriculum. Colleges and universities often call these "lifelong learning skills" because they refer not to the specific information that students acquire during their formal education (i.e., the contents of their education), but to how successfully they can continue to acquire information after their formal education has ended (i.e., the processes they developed as they acquired the contents of their education). Put in a chronological context, the overt curriculum stresses the knowledge a person has achieved in the past, whereas the covert curriculum emphasizes the abilities and characteristics that will enable individuals to continue to acquire new knowledge and attain new skills in the future, both on the job and in their personal lives. A psychometrist would refer to the products of the overt curriculum as "achievement" (i.e., what you already know) and the results of the covert curriculum as "aptitude" (i.e., your ability to acquire new skills or knowledge in the future).

In an article entitled "A Human Capital Approach to Academic Advising," Shaffer (1997) stated, "Human capital is created when people acquire transferable skills that can be applied in many settings and that can inform many different occupations" (p. 6). Shaffer used the phrase "investment in human capital" (p. 6) to refer to actions taken by individuals to increase their productivity. Savvy university students understand the concept of human capital and seek out academic experiences that will enable them to develop it. The result of this wise investment in their human capital is greater success and satisfaction in their future careers as well as in their personal, social, and civic lives. Uninformed students often behave as if their future success depends solely upon the ability to master the overt curriculum (i.e., to learn all the facts, concepts, and theories presented in their classes) and to obtain documents that proves this mastery (i.e., a college diploma). These students spend most of their time and energy on the acquisition of course content so they can graduate with a high GPA. Savvy students also understand the value of acquiring the knowledge presented in their classes and performing well on tests, but they are also keenly aware of the value of the covert curriculum. As a result, they make a conscious effort to continually improve their skills and refine their attitudes. Hettich (1998) lists many examples of the covert curriculum, some of which are given below. The majority of undergraduate psychology majors enter the work force immediately after they graduate. If you are one of these, please consider the value of applying the following examples of the covert curriculum within the contexts of both your future workplace and your personal life.

Reading With Comprehension and Identifying Major Points

     People who are employed in management positions (i.e., the kinds of positions to which most college graduates aspire) are constantly in search of new ideas and methods to help them perform their jobs more successfully. They understand they must keep up with the current literature in their profession and obtain relevant information from other printed sources such as books, magazines, and trade publications. Reading complex written materials rapidly, comprehending their contents, differentiating between relevant and irrelevant information, and identifying major points are all skills that can be developed and strengthened in school. Studying the contents of reading assignments for tests is an excellent way to develop these valuable job skills. Savvy students do not read assignments just to say their eyes have passed over all the words on all the pages; they read assignments to learn new materials because they realize this is a skill that will help them for the rest of their lives, both on and off the job.

Communicating in a Clear, Organized, and Persuasive Manner

     The ability to communicate in a clear, organized, and persuasive manner is one of the most crucial characteristics of successfully employed people. The inability to do so leaves others confused about what we have written or said (because we are unclear), convinced that we do not know what we are talking or writing about (because we are unorganized), and unlikely to do what we ask them to do (because we are not persuasive). College is full of opportunities to sharpen communication skills. All students take basic communication courses such as English Composition and Fundamentals of Speech because they are required to do so. Unfortunately, most students take these courses simply to "get them out of the way" rather than to actually learn something from them. Savvy students take more advanced courses in these areas and seek out experiences that will require them to polish their ability to communicate because they understand that strong communication skills will help them to distinguish themselves from others during the employment acquisition process (i.e., cover-letter writing, resume production, and interviewing).

Writing in a Particular "Style"

     Students must not only learn to write clearly, but they must also learn to write with "style." The majority of academic disciplines require their students to write in a particular style, which has specific requirements in regard to format, citations, references, and supporting evidence. Psychology students learn to write in the style prescribed by the American Psychological Association (i.e., APA style). Although few psychology majors will find that their employers require them to write in APA style, most will be required to learn and use some type of prescribed writing style. This may take the form of grant proposals, annual reports, employee performance appraisals, client progress reports, requests for insurance payments, or formal requests--including appropriate documentation--for promotion or salary increases. The inability to write these documents in the appropriate style often results in the unwillingness of others to provide the requested results (e.g., the denial of a request for a promotion or salary increase, the rejection of grant proposals or insurance claims, or a reprimand from a supervisor for an unacceptable annual report or set of employee performance appraisals). Learning to write in one style (e.g., APA) provides the opportunity to pay close attention to the directions of a writing assignment, to follow these directions carefully, and to produce written work that accomplishes its goal(s).

Listening Attentively

     Successful employees listen carefully and attentively to their supervisors' instructions, understand what these instructions mean (or ask for clarification to improve their understanding), and then carry out these instructions in an accurate and complete manner. Lectures and tests serve as excellent practice for this valuable skill. Think of lectures as the instructions, and tests as the tasks that must be carried out according to these instructions. Listening attentively and actively, comprehending complicated and/or complex information, and then using this information to answer questions or solve problems are skills that are as valuable in the workplace as they are in the classroom.

Taking Accurate Notes

     Employees must often listen to others and accurately remember what they hear. This could take place in a one-on-one situation (e.g., a supervisor giving instructions to an employee) or in groups (e.g., during presentations or workshops). Unless the amount of information provided is very small or the employee's memory is phenomenally large, it is usually a wise idea to take notes. This may seem like a simple task, but successful note taking requires practice. Learning how to listen for important points, summarizing and organizing large amounts of complex information, and writing notes so they are understandable at a later time are important skills. College classes provide wonderful opportunities to practice this crucial skill, and the feedback that students receive on tests can provide them with valuable information that can help them sharpen their note-taking ability.

Mastering Efficient Memory Strategies

     All jobs require employees to remember things (e.g., customers' names, meeting dates and times, locations of important information, etc.). Memory refers to the ability to select, store, and use information, and these skills are vital to effective and efficient workplace behavior. The results of a lack of memory skills are confusion, disorganization, and incompetence. Employees who exhibit these characteristics are seldom promoted, receive minimal salary increases, and often lose their jobs. College is the natural place to learn about your memory and how to use it. Psychology majors have an advantage in this area because memory is a topic in many of their classes (e.g., cognition, learning, and human development).

Demonstrating Critical Thinking Skills

     Employees must not only be able to remember vital information (i.e., retention), they must also be capable of thinking about what they remember in a number of important ways. They must comprehend information so they can communicate it to others in an understandable manner. They must apply the information they comprehend in order to solve problems in the workplace. They must analyze large, complex problems or sources of information into smaller, more manageable units and understand how these units fit together to form the larger whole (e.g., dividing a large task into several subtasks and then setting up a time line to complete the subtasks). They must locate, gather, and synthesize (i.e., combine) information from a variety of different sources into new and creative ideas and methods. Finally, they must evaluate ideas and methods by applying appropriate criteria to determine their value or usefulness. These are the thinking skills that are crucial (i.e., critical) for success in college, in the workplace, and in our personal and social lives. That is why they are called critical thinking skills.]

Submitting Assignments on Time and in Acceptable Form

     Employers pay their employees to perform their jobs accurately, completely, and in a timely manner. Employees are terminated if they cannot perform their jobs (i.e., their work is incorrect, incomplete, and/or late). Learning how to submit assignments that are accurate, complete, and submitted on time is a skill that has obvious value in the workplace. Learning to write in a particular academic style is good practice to learn how to conform to the specific writing requirements of the workplace (e.g., legal briefs or annual reports).

Behaving in a Responsible, Punctual, Mature, and Respectful Manner

     Employees who fail to show up for work, who are often late, or whose behaviors can be interpreted as immature or disrespectful are seldom employed for long. College is the perfect time to become aware of these negative traits and to develop strategies to eliminate them before they become fatal flaws in the workplace (e.g., leaving home a little earlier so you can arrive for class on time even if the traffic is bad or treating your instructors and peers with respect even when they are wrong).

Managing Stress and Conflict Successfully

     Employees are often exposed to stressful working conditions and are required to work with less-than-perfect fellow employees. Stress management and conflict management are essential skills that successful employees possess. The college years are filled with opportunities--both formal (e.g., a stress-management class) and informal (e.g., learning how to get along with the "roommate from hell")--to develop them. Most organizations expect their employees to possess these skills when they begin their jobs, and they rapidly weed out those who do not. It is vitally important to understand that these skills are also crucial to the ability to lead a healthy and successful life when a person is not on the job.

Organizing the Physical Environment to Maximize Efficiency

     Employees must be able to organize their physical environments so they can perform their jobs competently and efficiently. Appearing confused, making mistakes, and losing important information are often caused by poor organizational skills. College is an ideal time to learn how to set up a work space (e.g., a desk, a portable file, and a bookcase) in a manner that promotes organization and efficiency. Develop a system to organize the materials for each of your classes (e.g., the syllabus, notes, handouts, assignments, and tests) so that when finals week occurs, you will not panic because you cannot locate the information you need to study for your exams.

Observing and Evaluating the Attitudes and Behaviors of Role Models

     Successful employees quickly learn the culture of their organization by observing their supervisors and successful fellow employees. Learning which behaviors to avoid (e.g., flirting with fellow employees and coming to work late) and which to imitate (e.g., dressing in a professional manner and staying late to complete important tasks) is a crucial skill for an employee who wishes to remain with an organization, receive above-average salary increases, and earn promotions. Being willing and able to observe and evaluate the attitudes and behaviors of role models can be the factors that mean the difference between (a) just putting in eight hours every day at a dead-end job because you need the paycheck and (b) actually relishing the idea of getting up and going to work every morning for an organization that makes you feel comfortable, productive, and valued.

Maintaining an Accurate Planner or Calendar

     Successful employees in today's fast-paced world must be capable of managing their time and controlling their complicated schedules. Behaving in a temporally clueless manner (e.g., forgetting meetings, neglecting appointments, and missing deadlines) are all signposts on the road to the unemployment office. The ability to maintain an accurate appointment book that lists the dates of tests and assignments--and the dates when you should begin to prepare for them--is something that all college students should master. Without such a calendar, the complex and demanding life of a college student becomes a series of frightening surprises ("I walked into class this morning expecting a lecture, and the teacher was passing out the test I thought we were taking next week."), panic-producing discoveries ("Oh my God, you mean the final draft of our term paper is due TOMORROW!") and bitter disappointments ("I'm sorry you missed the test, but if you had read the syllabus, you would know that I give makeup tests only when I have received an excuse before, not after, the test is given.").

Working as a Productive Member of a Team

     Employers pay employees to perform complex tasks that almost always require some degree of teamwork--very few people work alone. The ability to work as a productive member of a successful team and to be seen as a team player requires a set of crucial skills and characteristics that must be acquired through practice, and what better place to practice these skills than in school where mistakes are far less costly than in the work place. Team players are those who communicate clearly, are responsible, work well in groups, prefer to cooperate rather than compete, and are goal oriented. Many university students attempt to avoid projects in which they must collaborate with their peers because they fear their grades will suffer. What they do not realize is that even if their grades do not suffer, their future on-the-job performance will.

Interacting Successfully With a Wide Variety of People

     The working world is filled with people who differ in many ways. Successful employees are those who have developed the ability to interact in a congenial and productive manner with a wide variety of people (e.g., a supervisor who is older, a client of a different race, or a coworker with a different sexual orientation). Some people seem to be naturally comfortable with diversity, but for those who are not, the university setting is the perfect place to develop this crucial characteristic. The best way for students to become more comfortable with people who are different from themselves is to take advantage of curricular and extracurricular activities that will bring them in contact with groups of diverse people. The worst thing they can do is to isolate themselves from diversity by deciding to live, work, and spend their leisure time with only those people who are like themselves.

Seeking Feedback About Performance and Using It to Improve Future Performance

     Employees are hired to perform certain duties. Those who succeed at their duties gain rewards such as promotions and raises; those who are unsuccessful remain at lower positions and pay levels or are terminated. Savvy employees understand that their performance must satisfy not only their own standards of quality, but also the standards of their supervisor(s). The willingness to actively seek feedback from supervisors about task performance and the ability to use this feedback to improve future performance are crucial traits of successful employees. Students can develop these traits by paying close attention to the written and verbal feedback they receive on tests and papers, by asking for feedback when it is not given, and by using the feedback they receive to improve their future tests and papers. Grades are important components of feedback, but grades do not tell students how to improve their future performance.

Accepting Responsibility for Your Own Behavior and Attitudes

     Being able to act in a responsible manner is the cornerstone of personal growth and professional maturity in any occupation. College is the perfect time to learn how to take responsibility for your own actions (rather than blaming your failures on others), and to understand that it is the way you interpret external circumstances that determines how you will respond to them, not the circumstances themselves. College is also the perfect time to learn how to be a person who is regarded as responsible by others. Responsible people are those who do what they say they will do, in a timely and competent manner, even when the circumstances are less than ideal.

Utilizing Technology

     The world is becoming increasingly technologically sophisticated, and the person who can't use computers to identify, locate, acquire, store, organize, display, and analyze verbal, numerical, or visual information is likely to find employment in only the most menial job. Even the servers who ask "would like fries with that" must input your order into a computerized cash register. Your college classes will require you to write papers with word-processing programs (e.g., Word), organize information with databases (e.g., Access), manipulate numbers with spreadsheets (e.g., Excel), analyze data with statistical programs (e.g., SPSS), perform literature searches with bibliographic databases (e.g., PsychInfo), enhance speeches with presentation software (e.g., PowerPoint), communicate with teachers and fellow students via e-mail (e.g., Outlook), and locate information on the Internet with search engines (e.g., AltaVista).
Savvy students master these computer skills in college so they don't have to learn them on the job.

Conclusions

     It is not hard to understand how the above-mentioned skills can help you function successfully in the workplace. It is also not difficult to understand how these skills will help you achieve success and happiness in your personal and social life as well. Being able to communicate clearly, listen attentively, act responsibly, manage stress, deal with conflict, think critically, act as a team player, and interact successfully with a wide variety of people are the skills you will need not only to be a successful employee, but also in your life outside the workplace as a successful partner, parent, friend, neighbor, and citizen. That is why they are called lifelong learning skills.

I love chocolate!

During the oral class yesterday, Miss Yang gave us chocolate. The chocolate is from Russia. She said that she fly to Russia, she bought the chocolate, and the she hurried back.

I chose the chocolate that covered with golden paper. I did not want to eat it.

Qing said that the chocolate in Russia is very strong. Yangfan ate the chocolate, then, he could not speak out for a second. However, some of the students told me the chocolate was very delicious.

I like the chocolate.

喜欢张潜浅

喜欢张潜浅. 她的声音很通透,听着很舒服.

  〈旅者〉
  我是自己的主人,走在迷幻梦境的桥上
  金色日光照射的黄昏,牵动着我不安的内心
  我曾稚气稚气的以为,我会发现世上不灭的永恒
  难道这是天真的狂想,我却为它付出了所有的感动
  
  我们都拥有一个不平凡的人生
  哦 谁也不会问自己曾经流过的泪
  还有那些狂热那些无助让人迷乱让人迷乱
  
  所有的爱已随风而去,
  发现你的心是一条河
  躺在这大地清澈无语呜
  所有丢失过的爱已随心而去 发现每个人是一棵树
  站在这大地青翠挺拔
  
  
  我是自己的主人,坐在迷幻梦境的椅上
  当我沉浸在这奇异风景里,发现人生就是梦的片断组合
  不要再打乱实现它的可能,让那为爱悸动的心正常的跳动
  所有心酸愤怒全都会消失,你会拥有一个美丽人生
  
  
  我们都拥有一个不平凡的人生,
  哦 谁也不会问自己曾经流过的泪
  还有那些狂热那些无助让人迷乱让人迷乱,
  我会开拓出明亮的一片天地,不愿让人喝采
  只想把你赞深深的赞哦
  所有尝过的欢乐我会重温一遍
  牵着你的双手你的温暖让我闪烁让我闪烁
  所有尝过的欢乐我会重温一遍
  牵着你的双手你的温暖让我闪烁让我闪烁

what a pity

That's too bad! 准备了一个晚上的口语对话,居然因为和别人的内容重了而不能说。我难受。。。

写下来,传上来,虽然不能说,也要留一个纪念!

Z: Hello.

Y: Hello. Is that Xiaoxiao?

Z: Who's that?

Y: Oh. What kind of woman you are! I'm your old friend!

Z: Oh. You are Yangyang! The telephone is not good.

Y: Okay. How are you going?

Z: That's fine. Now, I'm working in Lijiang.

Y: Where is Lijiang?

Z: (A)

Y: Really? Sounds good. Guess! Where am I? I'm now living in Venice!

Z: That's so cool!

Y: Yes. Venice is a perfect place for living, because of its nice location on the Mediterranean Sea. The climate in Venice is an ideal climate. The summers in Venice are hot and dry. The winters in Venice are mild and rainy. How about the climate in Lijiang?

Z: The summers in Lijiang are cool. The winters in Lijiang are warm. I think the climate in Lijiang is better than Venice. Don't you think that.

Y: Well. I suppose you are right. However, I'm sure the Venice is much more beautiful than Lijiang.

Z: Why?

Y: In Venice light and water combine to a restless magic. At night, people sing songs in the gondolas with lanterns. The prows rise silver on silver, taking light in the darkness. Even a realist in Venice will become a romantic, by mere faithfulness to what he sees before him.

Z: I see your point. But the water in Lijiang is perfect. (D)

 

Y: You might be right. However, there are some special things in Venice. People in Venice speak many different languages. Italian, of cause is their main language. Many people in Venice also speak French. There are also a few people that speak Ladin in Venice.

 

Z: So what?

 

Y: Err… What do you mean?

 

Z: I don’t think that it is special enough. In Lijiang (C)

 

Y: I hate to admit it, but you are right.

 

Z: Oh, good. Come to Lijiang. I’ll show you more.

 

Y: You took the words right out of my mouth. Come to Venice, I’ll show you more.

 

Z: Okay. I will. Then tell me some thing about your life.

生 命 之 约 转贴
上帝和亚当、夏娃作了一个约定:你们可以享用伊甸园的一切,惟独不能吃禁果。亚当和夏娃违约了;自然和人类作了一个约定:你们可以享用我的一切,但不能破坏我。亚当和夏娃的子孙们违约了,违了这份生命之约。 
 生命诞生,委身在自然之母的怀中,是诞生在伟大中的美丽,生命成了挪亚方舟中飞去又非回的鸽子嘴中衔着的橄榄枝,成了泱泱圣河中泛动的碧浪,成了春天里地上每一个萌动的芽儿,生命是绿色,生命是动,人是生命,但他无疑是自然的宠儿。当上帝把精灵放入肉体之后,人已经学会从自然索取。石块是人谋生的武器,枝叶成了人的避难所……自然之母倒从未向人要什么回报,而且越发地慷慨,人类欣然接受天降的一切。自诩为"万物之灵"的人类又怎能顾及自己作下的恶果! 
 历史上上演了一出"过河拆桥"的丑剧! 
 现在,我们已经不愿看到"东方威尼斯"河上斑驳的狼籍,不愿听到可爱的鸟儿的哀鸣,不愿想起切尔诺贝利核泄露后的惨剧。也许当初楼兰古国的智者要人们弃商从农,保护环境的时,人们对对那嗤之以鼻,但今天沙海中的古国已无法重现作日的辉煌;也许当初科学家指出氟利昂有害时,人们对此还不屑一顾。但今年那南极上空相当于两个 美国本土面积的空洞已讥笑人类的愚蠢;也许当初南美原始森林疯狂消失时,人们并不在意,但今天"拉尼诺"恶魔搅起的洪水已冲毁了人类心中的得意,不知人类在抽取"母亲的血液"时是否还能有一点良知,不知我们是否会因为森林急剧减少而恐惧,也不知我们是否回因为失去一个动物朋友而叹息…… 
 "世界上原始森林以每分钟13.5平方公里减少;现在每8分钟我们会失去一位动物朋友;据科学家推测,全球性气候变暖趋势不断恶化,照此下去,20年后海平面将上升20厘米……"看着一幕幕触目惊心的画面、听着一个个骇人听闻的数字,我们还能坐得住吗?我已经无法想象当世界只有人类时,人类的表情是自豪,还是叹息!

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD


(George Weiss / Bob Thiele)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

In a world where the negatives seem to always be staring us down, the blessings are there if we just dust off the bad stuff to find them.

The Cabuliwallah
 

The Cabuliwallah

Rabindranath Tagore

My five-year-old daughter Mini cannot live without chattering. I really believe that in all her life she has not wasted a minute in silence. Her mother is often vexed at this, and would like to stop her prattle, but I would not. For Mini to be quiet is unnatural, and I cannot bear it long. And so my own talk with her is always lively.

One morning, for instance, when I was in the midst of the seventeenth chapter of my new novel, my little Mini stole into the room, and putting her hand into mine, said: "Father! Ramdayal, the door-keeper, calls a kak a kauwa!

He doesn't know anything, does he?"

Before I could explain to her the difference between one language and another in this world, she had embarked on the full tide of another subject. "What do you think, Father? Bhola says there is an elephant in the clouds, blowing water out of his trunk, and that is why it rains!"

And then, darting off anew, while I sat still, trying to think of some reply to this: "Father! what relation is mother to you?"

With a grave face I contrived to say: "Go and play with Bhola, Mini! I am busy!"

The window of my room overlooks the road. The child had seated herself at my feet near my table, and was playing softly, drumming on her knees. I was hard at work on my seventeenth chapter, in which Pratap Singh, the hero, has just caught Kanchanlata, the heroine, in his arms, and is about to escape with her by the third storey window of the castle, when suddenly Mini left her play, and ran to the window, crying: "A Cabuliwallah! A Cabuliwallah!' And indeed, in the street below, there was a Cabuliwallah, walking slowly along. He wore the loose, soiled clothing of his people, and a tall turban; he carried a bag on his back, and boxes of grapes in his hand.

I cannot tell what my daughter's feelings were when she saw this man, but she began to call him loudly. "Ah!" thought I, "he will come in, and my seventeenth chapter will never be finished!" At that very moment the Cabuliwallah turned, and looked up at the child. When she saw this, she was overcome by terror, and running to her mother's protection disappeared. She had a blind belief that inside the bag, which the big man carried, there were perhaps two or three other children like herself. The peddler meanwhile entered my doorway and greeted me with a smile.

So precarious was the position of my hero and my heroine, that my first impulse was to stop and buy something, since Mini had called the man to the house. I made some small purchases, and we began to talk about Abdur Rahman, the Russians, the English, and the Frontier Policy.

As he was about to leave, he asked: "And where is the little girl, Sir?"

And then, thinking that Mini must get rid of her false fear, I had her brought out.

She stood by my chair, and looked at the Cabuliwallah and his bag. He offered her nuts and raisins, but she would not be tempted, and only clung the closer to me, with all her doubts increased.

This was their first meeting.

A few mornings later, however, as I was leaving the house, I was startled to find Mini, seated on a bench near the door, laughing and talking, with the great Cabuliwallah at her feet. In all her life, it appeared, my small daughter had never found so patient a listener, save her father. And already the corner of her little sari was stuffed with almonds and raisins, the gift of her visitor. "Why did you give her those?" I said, and taking out an eight-anna piece, I handed it to him. The man accepted the money without demur, and put it into his pocket.

Alas, on my return, an hour later, I found the unfortunate coin had made twice its own worth of trouble! For the Cabuliwallah had given it to Mini, and her mother, catching sight of the bright round object, had pounced on the child with: "Where did you get that eight-anna piece?"

"The Cabuliwallah gave it to me!" said Mini cheerfully.

"The Cabuliwallah gave it to you!" cried her mother greatly shocked, "O Mini! How could you take it from him?"

I entered at the moment, and saving her from impending disaster, proceeded to make my own inquiries.

It was not the first or the second time, I found, that the two had met. The Cabuliwallah had overcome the child's first terror by a judicious bribe of nuts and almonds, and the two were now great friends.

They had many quaint jokes, which amused them greatly. Mini would seat herself before him, look down on his gigantic frame in all her tiny dignity, and with her face rippling with laughter would begin: "O Cabuliwallah! Cabuliwallah: What have you got in your bag?"

And he would reply, in the nasal accent of the mountaineer: "An elephant!" Not much cause for merriment, perhaps: but how they both enjoyed the fun! And for me, this child's talk with a grown-up man had always in it something strangely fascinating.

Then the Cabuliwallah, not to be behindhand, would take his turn: "Well, little one, and when are you going to your father-in-law's house?"

Now nearly every small Bengali maiden had heard long ago about her father-in-law's house; but we were a little new-fangled, and had kept these things from our child, so that Mini at this question must have been a trifle bewildered. But she would not show it, and with ready tact replied: "Are you going there?"

Amongst men of the Cabuliwallah's class, however, it is well known that the words father-in-law's house have a double meaning. It is a euphemism for jail, the place where we are well cared for, at no expense to ourselves. In this sense would the sturdy peddler take my daughter's question. "Ah," he would say, shaking his fist at an invisible policeman. "I will thrash my father-in-law!" Hearing this, and picturing the poor discomfited relative, Mini would go off into peals of laughter in which her formidable friend would join.

These were autumn mornings, the very time of year when kings of old went forth to conquest, and I without stirring from my little corner in Calcutta, would let my mind wander over the whole world. At the very name of another country, my heart would go out to it, and at the sight of a foreigner in the streets, I would fall to weaving a network of dreams?the mountains, the glens, and the forests of his distant land, with his cottage in their midst and the free and independent life, or far away wilds. Perhaps scenes of travel are conjured up before me and pass and re-pass in my imagination all the more vividly, because I lead an existence so like a vegetable that a call to travel would fall upon me like a thunder-bolt. In the presence of this Cabuliwallah, I was immediately transported to the foot of arid mountain peaks, with narrow little defiles twisting in and out amongst their towering heights. I could see the string of camels bearing the merchandise, and the company of turbaned merchants, some carrying their queer old firearms, and some their spears, journeying downward towards the plains. I could see_. But at some such point Mini's mother would intervene, and implore me to "beware of that man."

Mini's mother is unfortunately very timid. Whenever she hears a noise in the street, or sees people coming towards the house, she always jumps to the conclusion that they are either thieves, or drunkards, or snakes, or tigers, or malaria, or cockroaches, or caterpillars. Even after all these years of experience, she is not able to overcome her terror. So she was full of doubts about the Cabuliwallah, and used to beg me to keep a watchful eye on him.

If I tried to laugh her fear gently away, she would turn round seriously, and ask me solemn questions:

Were children never kidnapped?

Was it not true that there was slavery in Cabul?

Was it so very absurd that this big man should be able to carry off a tiny child?

I urged that, though not impossible, it was very improbable. But this was not enough, and her dread persisted. But as it was a very vague dread, it did not seem right to forbid the man the house, and the intimacy went on unchecked.

Once a year, in the middle of January, Rahman, the Cabuliwallah, used to return to his own country, and as the time approached, he would be very busy, going from house to house collecting his debts. This year, however, he could always find time to come and see Mini. It might have seemed to a stranger that there was some conspiracy between the two, for when he could not come in the morning, he would appear in the evening.

Even to me it was a little startling now and then suddenly to surprise this tall, loose-garmented man laden with his bags, in the corner of a dark room; but when Mini ran in smiling, with her "O Cabuliwallah! Cabuliwallah" and the two friends, so far apart in age, subsided into their old laughter and their old jokes, I felt reassured.

One morning, a few days before he had made up his mind to go, I was correcting proof-sheets in my study. The weather was chilly. Through the window the rays of the sun touched my feet, and the slight warmth was very welcome. It was nearly eight o'clock, and early pedestrians were returning home with their heads covered. Suddenly I heard an uproar in the street, and looking out saw Rahman being led away bound between two policemen, and behind them a crowd of inquisitive boys. There were blood-stains on his clothes, and one of the policemen carried a knife. I hurried out, and stopping them, inquired what it all meant. Partly from one, partly from another, I gathered that a certain neighbour had owed the peddler something for a Rampuri shawl, but had denied buying it, and that in the course of the quarrel Rahman had struck him. Now, in his excitement, the prisoner began calling his enemy all sorts of names, when suddenly in a verandah of my house appeared my little Mini, with her usual exclamation: "O Cabuliwallah! Cabuliwallah!" Rahman's face lighted up as he turned to her. He had no bag under his arm today, so that she could not talk about the elephant with him. She therefore at once proceeded to the next question: "Are you going to your father-in-law's house?" Rahman laughed and said: "That is just where I am going, little one!" Then seeing that the reply did not amuse the child, he held up his fettered hands, "Ah!" he said, "I would have thrashed that old father-in-law, but my hands are bound!"

On a charge of murderous assault, Rahman was sentenced to several years' imprisonment.

Time passed, and he was forgotten. Our accustomed work in the accustomed place went on, and the thought of the once free mountaineer spending his years in prison seldom or never occurred to us. Even my light-hearted Mini, I am ashamed to say, forgot her old friend. New companions filled her life. As she grew older, she spent more of her time with girls. So much, indeed, did she spend with them that she came no more, as she used to do, to her father's room, so that I rarely had any opportunity of speaking to her.

Years had passed away. It was once more autumn, and we had made arrangements for our Mini's marriage. It was to take place during the Puja Holidays. With Durga returning to Kailas, the light of our home also would depart to her husband's house, and leave her father's in shadow.

The morning was bright. After the rains, it seemed as though the air had been washed clean and the rays of the sun looked like pure gold. So bright were they, that they made even the sordid brick-walls of our Calcutta lanes radiant. Since early dawn the wedding-pipes had been sounding, and at each burst of sound my own heart throbbed. The wail of the tune, Bhairavi, seemed to intensify the pain I felt at the approaching separation. My Mini was to be married that night.

From early morning, noise and bustle had pervaded the house. In the courtyard there was the canopy to be slung on its bamboo poles; there were chandeliers with their tinkling sound to be hung in each room and verandah. There was endless hurry and excitement. I was sitting in my study, looking through the accounts, when someone entered, saluting respectfully, and stood before me. It was Rahman, the Cabuliwallah. At first I did not recognise him. He carried no bag, his long hair was cut short and his old vigour seemed to have gone. But he smiled; and I knew him again.

"When did you come, Rahman?" I asked him.

"Last evening," he said, "I was released from jail."

The words struck harshly upon my ears. I had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow-man, and my heart shrank within itself when I realised this; for I felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not appeared.

"There are ceremonies going on," I said, "and I am busy. Perhaps you could come another day?"

He immediately turned to go; but as he reached the door he hesitated, and said, "May I not see the little one, sir, for a moment?" It was his belief that Mini was still the same. He had pictured her running to him as she used to do, calling. "O Cabuliwallah! Cabuliwallah!" He had imagined too that they would laugh and talk together, just as of old. Indeed, in memory of former days, he had brought, carefully wrapped up in paper, a few almonds and raisins and grapes, obtained somehow or other from a countryman; for what little money he had, had gone.

I repeated: "There is a ceremony in the house, and you will not be able to see anyone today."

The man's face fell. He looked wistfully at me for a moment, then said, "Good morning," and went out.

I felt a little sorry, and would have called him back but I found he was returning of his own accord. He came close up to me and held out his offerings with the words: "I have brought these few things, sir, for the little one. Will you give them to her?"

I took them, and was going to pay him, but he caught my hand, and said: "You are very kind, sir! Keep me in your memory. Do not offer me money!_You have a little girl. I too have one like her in my own home. I think of her, and bring this fruit to your child_not to make a profit for myself."

Saying this, he put his hand inside his big loose robe, and brought out a small and dirty piece of paper. Unfolding it with great care, he smoothened it out with both hands on my table. It bore the impression of a little hand. Not a photograph. Not a drawing. Merely the impression of an ink-smeared hand laid flat on the paper. This touch of the hand of his own little daughter he had carried always next to his heart, as he had come year after year to Calcutta to sell his wares in the streets.

Tears came to my eyes. I forgot that he was a poor Cabuli fruit-seller, while I was_. But no, what was I more than he? He also was a father.

That impression of the hand of his little Parvati in her distant mountain home reminded me of my own little Mini.

I sent for Mini immediately from the inner apartment. Many difficulties were raised, but I swept them aside. Clad in the red silk of her wedding-day, with sandal paste on her forehead, and adorned as a young bride, Mini came, and stood modestly before me.

The Cabuliwallah seemed amazed at the apparition. He could not revive their old friendship. At last he smiled and said: "Little one, are you going to your father-in-law's house?"

But Mini now understood the meaning of the word "father-in-law," and she could not answer him as of old. She blushed at the question, and stood before him with her head bowed down.

I remembered the day when the Cabuliwallah and my Mini had first met, and I felt sad. When she had gone, Rahman sighed deeply and sat down on the floor. The idea had suddenly come to him that his daughter too must have grown up, while he had been away so long, and that he would have to make friends anew with her also. Assuredly he would not find her as she was when he left her. And besides, what might not have happened to her in these eight years?

The marriage-pipes sounded and the mild autumn sunlight streamed round us. But Rahman, standing in our narrow Calcutta lane, saw in his mind's eye the mountains of Afghanistan.

I took out a hundred rupee note, gave it to him, and said: "Go back to your daughter, Rahman, in your own country, and may the happiness of your meeting bring good fortune to my child!"

Having made this present, I had to curtail some of the festivities. I could not have the electric lights I had intended, nor the military band, and the ladies of the house were despondent about it. But to me the wedding feast was all the brighter for the thought that in a distant land a long-lost father was going to meet again his only child.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, is one of India's best-loved writers. One of his most famous novels is Gora.

[转贴]The Real Meaning of Peace

       There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace. 
        The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.
        But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest ? in perfect peace.
        Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?
        “Because,” explained the king, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.”

宁静的真谛

    从前有个国王,悬赏能画出最好的宁静的画的画家。很多画家都试过了。国王看了所有的作品,但他真正喜欢的只有两幅。一幅画中是一片宁静的湖泊,四周群山环绕,而湖泊就是一面完美的镜子。蓝色的天空中白云飘飘,每个看到这幅画的人都认为这真是一幅表现宁静的完美作品。
    另一幅画也有山脉,但却崎岖不平,而且光秃秃的。上面是乌云密布的天空,而且狂风骤雨、闪电雷鸣,一条白色的瀑布从山的一侧倾泻下来。这看起来一点都不宁静。
    然而当国王仔细地看了看,他看到在岩石的裂隙中长着一颗小小的灌木。在汹涌的水流中间,鸟妈妈安坐在她的巢穴中??如此和谐。
    你认为哪幅画能得到国王的赞赏呢?国王选择了第二幅。你知道为什么吗?
    国王说:“这是因为,宁静并不是指在这个地方没有噪音,没有烦扰,没有艰难的劳动。宁静意味着所有这些因素都存在于你的周围,而你的心中依然能保持安宁。这才是宁静的真谛。”

Installing Love on the HUMAN Computer...

Customer: I really need some help. After much consideration, I've decided to install LOVE. Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support : Yes, I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready to install it now. What do I do?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your HEART. Have you located your HEART?

Customer: Yes, I have, but there are several other programs running right now. Is it okay to install while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running?

Customer: Let's see... I have PAST-HURT.EXE, LOW-ESTEEM.EXE, GRUDGE.EXE, and RESENTMENT.EXE running now.

Tech Support: No problem. LOVE will gradually erase PAST-HURT.EXE from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. LOVE will eventually overwrite LOW-ESTEEM.EXE with a module of its own called HIGH-ESTEEM.EXE. However, you have to completely turn off GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.EXE. Those programs prevent LOVE from being properly installed. Can you turn those off?

Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: My pleasure. Go to your Start menu and invoke FORGIVENESS.EXE. Do this as many times as necessary until it's erased the programs you don't want.

Customer: Okay, now LOVE has started installing itself automatically. Is that normal?

Tech Support: Yes. You should receive a message that says it will stay installed for the life of your HEART. Do you see that message?

Customer: Yes, I do. Is it completely installed?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other HEARTs in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops. I have an error message already. What should I do?

Tech Support: What does the message say?

Customer: It says "ERROR 412-PROGRAM NOT RUN ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS." What does that mean?

Tech Support: Don't worry, that's a common problem. It means that the LOVE program is set up to run on external HEARTs but has not yet been run on your HEART. It is one of those complicated programming things, but in non-technical terms it means you have to "LOVE" your own machine before it can "LOVE" others.

Customer: So what should I do?

Tech Support: Can you pull down the directory called "SELF-ACCEPTANCE"?

Customer: Yes, I have it.

Tech Support: Excellent. You're getting good at this. Now, click on the following files and then copy them to the "MYHEART" directory: FORGIVE-SELF.DOC, REALIZE-WORTH.TXT, and ACKNOWLEDGE-LIMITATIONS.DOC. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching any faulty programming. Also, you need to delete SELF-CRITICISM.EXE from all directories, and then empty your recycle bin afterwards to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My HEART is filling up with new files. SMILE.MP3 is playing on my monitor right now and it shows that PEACE.EXE, and CONTENTMENT.EXE are copying themselves all over my HEART. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes a while, but eventually everything gets downloaded at the proper time. So, LOVE is installed and running. You should be able to handle it from here. Ah, one more thing.

Customer: Yes?

Tech Support: LOVE is freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everybody you meet. They will in turn share it with other people and they will return some similarly cool modules back to you.

Customer: I will! Thanks for your help!

‘Flower Boy’ Wins Hearts of Both Men and Women

With smooth porcelain like skin, a pointed chin and a soft voice, Lee Joonki’s looks evoke women’s jealousy and men’s desire to protect.

 

That’s what happens in South Korea’s highest-earning films, “King and the Clown” (in Chinese it means Wang De Nanren). In the film, Lee plays Kong-gil, a male clown who becomes involved in a love triangle with King Yonsan and another male clown. The king’s love for him arouses anger and jealousy among his concubines.

 

The movie has drawn more than 8.6 million people since it premiered last December. It also has made the 23-year-old actor an overnight hit. Fans of both sexes are crazy for “the beauty beyond gender”.

 

His graceful portrayal and his girlish looks sparked trend towards “feminine man” and flower boy in South Korea.

 

Now, any clothes that Lee wears turn into fashion statement. Many South Korean young men reportedly have gone to hospital to get pointed chins like Lee’s.

 

Lee sees himself as a manly guy: “personally, I think the term ‘flower boy’ means those who have big eyes and clean-cut feature. I don’t consider myself a typical flower boy.”

 

“I used to be a taekwondo athlete. People called me ‘sunny boy’, but no one said I was pretty. I think people like me because I have multiple images, even though I am not handsome.”

 

“Lee appeals to audiences not through homosexuality, but as a ‘pretty boy’ without homosexual desires,” said an article in the South Korean newspaper Munwha.

 

Lee became an actor at an early age because he thought acting was cool. Before he was admitted to the Seoul school of Acting, he worked 10 hours a day as a waiter, cook and cashier.

 

Now Lee is busy shooting his next movie. He plays a young man who appears to be strong and cheerful but has a fragile inner self.

非音乐 - 很爱

1、American Analog Set                        Magnificent Seventies
    American Analog Set不是一队太有名的后摇团体,他们的音乐有着长篇却简单的构架,这虽然不会令乐评家满意,但实际上聆听他们的音乐令人心旷神怡。他们第一张专辑出自于Touch & Go子牌Emperor Jones,做为美国后摇比较独特的一队,出道以来已发过五张唱片,2002年的《Know By Heart》曾被MOJO杂志誉为年度最佳专辑。
     American Analog Set虽然没有一般后摇常见的瞬间爆发,但其清新隽永的音乐正如涓涓细流暖人心扉。“Magnificent Seventies”这一曲就在我听到的第一次就深深的喜欢上了,它的深情与幽暗,就像一幕幕流动的电影,而画面中正是一个个顾影自怜的年轻人呆立着……

2、造访者                                      Generation
    从这期起我们加重了对华语音乐的选歌,我们会认真推荐每一首来自中国人的作品,相信这些好的作品一样可以令《非音乐》的读者们激赏。
    这是一支来自武汉的新锐乐队,有点像早期的Sonic Youth,其生猛和自由多变的音乐结构往往撒下一片兴奋点。我们知道武汉是一个有着朋克土壤的城市,活跃着多支坚实勇猛的朋克乐队,而造访者的音乐里也流畅着这个工业城市沉重淤积的血液。如果说造访者现在把青春当成一次次尽兴的嘶喊,那么他们于音乐中横冲直撞的锋芒也同样出色。

今天早上我的脑袋
被我落在我的口袋
思想也出去旅游了
很乱的一天又来了

很多奇怪的事情
发生在了我家里
冰箱里有一只猫
冻得已经不能叫

我想它应该很冷
不过它的兄弟
还呆在烤箱里

我家真的乱七八糟
我眼睛 也是
我心里 也是

还有很多惊喜在我床上
她是我的房东,很老,很臭
我在想,我怎么了?恩?

Bastards!
You Bastards!!!
Bastards!
Bastards!
You Bastards!!!
Bastards!

就是我们,无所谓的generation
我很清楚
为什么我们出现在无所谓的年代


3、pascals                                      Egyptian Reggae
    一个日本的神秘组合,风格非常怪异,但也不妨碍他们旋律的流畅。这支乐队的资料很少,但我们知道他们曾经被诚品好读推荐过,也曾被独立音乐人李劲松所推崇,他们一反以往我们所知道的日本极端地下的实验乐风,其成员多达16人,团名源自于他们喜欢的法国的电气团体PASCAL COMELADE。他们成功的将日式民谣跟各种怪异的现代曲风相结合,往往给人以天真的童趣,而在音乐中随意和爽朗的气氛也令人心情放松。

4、Chandeen                                     Bikesand Pyramids
    德国的天音组合Chandeen05年野心之作,给了我们一张意外的Trip-Hop之作,绝对让人惊喜。虽然那些套路没有太多的新意,但感动不是重复的。Chandeen这次的脱胎换骨让人颇感震惊,主唱把Trip-Hop的颤腔拿捏得很到位,而音乐上的细节也是处理的颇为精炼,她们的下一张专辑令人期待。 


5、DJ Kenneth L                                 Feel Autumn
    这首作品选自摩登天空出品的唱片??《驰放:秋日之选》,是由The Password乐队的成员?? DJ Kenneth L创作的,他们曾于2003年5月出版首张专辑《什刹海ShiChaHai》,并引起了不凡的反响。他们做为国内Chill Out乐风的先行者,一直较为低调的出没于电音俱乐部和一些演出场所,灵魂人物罗强是湖南人,所以也有着湖南籍乐手一惯的浪漫主义和唯美的音乐情怀。这首曲子是整张碟内给人印象最深刻的,其暗藏的浪漫正如清妙的乐曲,于低缓中透露出一丝丝秋的神韵。

  8、Windsor for the Derby                      Nico
    又是一队来自美国德洲的后摇团体,他们运用高度重复性的音乐编排,非常的冷调,没有了一般后摇的爆炸式段落,但他们同样引人深思。
    Windsor for the Derby有着一般后摇缺乏的迷幻氛围,他们的内心没有同样来自美国德洲大草原Bedhead跌荡的起伏,但多的是一份低息的典雅,同样也可令人沉溺其中。  

  12、Devendra Banhart                         Rejoicing In The Hands
    很难想像在这个讲究速度的年代还有一位散发着六、七十年代嬉皮气质的年轻人,而他就是25岁的Devendra Banhart ,
    这位留着长发与浓胡的俊美青年是近年来音乐界的异数,他出生于美国德洲,成长于委内瑞拉,毕业于嬉皮之城旧金山,随后浪迹于巴黎与纽约之间。
    虽然才出过四张唱片,但却是当今迷幻民歌体系(Psych-Folk)的重要分子,被形容为揉合有Syd Barret的迷幻民歌、Nick Drake的伤感惨情与Daniel Johnston的Lo-Fi音质。而发现他的人是Young God Records主脑??即前Swans?现Angels Of Light的灵魂人物Michael Gira(相信他已不用再多介绍了吧)。
    Devendra Banhart的音乐简约而又生动,在那些如清溪一般的木吉它下,Devendra的歌声就像一块漂浮的绒布,而他在水面上轻轻的呼吸着。

    Rejoicing in the hands

In the dark we are without her empress light
In the dark we are without a light
Half asleep we're calmly waiting through her night
Half asleep we wait 'til she arrives

Clouds of birds are governing her dark blue sky
Clouds of birds are governing her sky
A rush of wind is gently playing with their wings
And yellow stones are standing on her eyes

All rejoice we are in her hands
When in here hands all rejoice
Owl eyes her sun will rise and light the land
All rejoice we are in her hands


13、张浅潜                                    旅者
    张浅潜当然是国内最优秀的女唱作人,说是唱作人,是因为她无论是创作力还是歌唱她都有着独特的魅力,有朋友说她比王菲优秀多了,我也这样认为,虽然拿她跟王菲其实并不是类同。虽然这些年她时隐时没,但对于音乐,她一直在创作着,她的作品时而给人舒畅的感觉,时而给人沉痛之感,但无论舒畅还是沉痛,都那样的美好。我们仿佛看到一个高贵的灵魂在起舞,她是她的音乐王国中的女皇,她的歌声伴随着那些轻灵曼妙的音符久久不能散去……  

我是自己的主人,走在迷幻梦境的桥上
金色日光照射的黄昏,牵动着我不安
