学写英文及闲聊---清晨在白雾里的随想

(2021-10-08 06:11:32) 下一个

看了下前段时间自己的译文,发现译得挺糟糕的,于是做了修改。坚持学习就会有进步,这种进步自己可以感觉得。

7/25(周六)

昨晚早早睡下,心中有种预感,6:30打开门前,台阶下的香水百合开了,小小的,娇娇的,萌萌的,有点害羞的样子。探下身去闻,和国内香水百合一样的味道。这里叫东方百合。我小时候也是这般害羞,只是没有这般美丽。简单擦拭完电脑桌,刚要坐下,窗外落入眼角的样子却让我心头一惊。期待着的我忙跑到客厅,拉开阳前的门。十几分钟之后,外面就升起了青白色的薄雾,DECK外的几株苍松,苍松前坡下的新苗,一个白色的尖顶隐现于一个树冠像弹头形的松树后面。我就站在自家的阳台上,欣赏着诗意朦胧的清晨。

 

I slept early last night with an intuition of my lily’s blooming.  I got up at 6:30 this morning, the first thing I did was opening the door and took a look at my lily on the stair adjoining to my front door.

 

My lily is blooming, the new blossoms brings me an impression of freshness, girlishness, cute and shyness.  This impression make me think myself. When I was a little girl, I was shy but not pretty. I would hide in my small bedroom when my parents’ friends visited to our home.

 

I bend down, put my nose close to my lily. My lily welcomes me with its charming fragrance. I have the fragrance in my memory. My lily is called Oriental lily. In China it has a beautiful feminine name” perfume lily”. When I was there, in some particular season, I would buy two stems lilies on which some flowers are freshly blooming and some are still in buds. Putting them in a vase, filling up the vase with water, mixing the flower nutrition in the water, I let them sit on my dining table. The flowers could last at least one week. With their existence, my cozy two-bedroom apartment was immersed in a lovely fragrance, seeming like being perfumed.

 

Wiped out my computer desk, I am ready to put some of my mind into computer.  But before I am fully seated, my heart is seized by a glimpse of the scene in my back yard through the window. Holding my expectation, I run out to the deck. I stand there, waiting, waiting, waiting… Around ten minutes later, the scenery I expected come into my view. White fog is rising in far. The fog is spreading, moving toward me, getting heavier.

 

On the artificial hill stand aged evergreen pine trees, newly grown plants and an ornamental pine wood with bulletin-shaped crown. in the white fog, all of these with the gable roof from a house across the street turn magically beautiful.  In the following couple minutes, I stand there still, appreciating the fleeting scenes like from a beautiful fairy movie, visualizing a good fairy occurring from the white fog, walking towards me. She will bring me good luck, all my blessings on me , on my son and my families will be fulfilled. But if she can bring my beloved father back, I would give up everything to trade it.

昨天JACK把儿子的飞机送还给我,过后我们坐下聊了会。我说我在网上买了他堂兄的书LETTING GO. 两周后会到,等我读后和他分享我的感受。他听了很高兴,说那是部很私人的书。我想他是担心我会感到失望,于是说“EVERY LIFE IS A STORY. 我喜欢读普通人写的,分享他们个人经历与感受的文章,也当我学英文。前两天有人给皮卡老师出学习英语的主意,其中有一个就是找个美国人聊天。这确实是个好主意,年轻人没时间,找个赋闲的美国人聊。聊天对于双方都是很有收获的。然后我说儿子已经在家飞了那套KEVIN转让的小飞机。他说:“在家里飞,不怕撞坏吗?”。 我说:”我回家见他飞,也挺吃惊的。但见他飞得很稳很低,时常悬停在低空。可能是他之前已经飞了三四年的某通无人机,有一定经验。““要是去俱乐部飞行场地飞的话,他可以设置路障,桥梁学习比赛飞行。”我把这话转达给儿子,儿子说“在家也可以练,在两张椅子间,或者钻桌子,椅子腿飞。”他是懒得跑。想想儿子七八岁时手握笔握不稳,五分钟就会握得一掌心汗。对比现在,真是感到被福佑了。

 

当下城里的热文是有关国内正在热放的描写抗美援朝/韩战的影片。喜欢了解历史,于是基本都读来学习了。看过后,就觉得不管对哪方来说,都太惨了。祈福和平,不要再有战争。描写一场这么悲惨战争的影片,搁我是不会去看的。读后除了学习历史外,还去温习了WOULD 的虚拟用法,不被提醒,差不多都忘了。

早上送儿子去学校时,看着他和几个孩子一同过马路。除了他一个人,其它五个印度裔,两个白人高中生都没有向给他们让行的汽车招手表示感谢。几次观察后,看到他现在已经习惯了这一礼貌动作,感到欣慰自豪。

下午问了他有关动漫游戏原神主题乐的事,并让他播放给我听。于是15年以来,我和儿子第一次坐下,静静地听着同一首乐曲。他还给我看了几个不同中外交响乐团现场演奏的视频,视听效果真的很有冲击力,让人不能不佩服当前中国年轻音乐人的实力。再让他告诉我他喜欢原神的理由。他说了:故事好,人物角色好,音乐好,画面好。玩家跟着人物游走世界。。之所以去年九月上线以来迅速风迷中日美,除了以上几个因素外,游戏还是免费的(当然,玩进去就会有人愿意花钱,游戏公司只要赚这10-20%玩家的钱就够了)。果然,我看了一点,风景如画,水月洞天。看了视频中对游戏公司领导的采访,中国部份的风景灵感来自湖南张家界。不用问,下次回国他肯定有兴趣到张家界看看。想起来了,里面的人物就像早年我着迷的<花仙子>。
