Durham cathedral

1年前看到这个有着800年历史的Durham Catherdral并不怎么喜欢
无标题

大概是因为第一次去的时候又寒冷又下雨
觉得那里阴森恐怖
脑海里浮现的竟然是Duckula伯爵
我不能接受阴郁的它
之后的1年内 我不愿再踏入其中
 
今年再次造访,印象变得不一样
时间好,天气也晴朗

最近安静下来的时候 脑海竟然浮现出它的样子
学工科的人照例应该客观
但人的心理是对现实的现实反映
女生的心理和天气一样多变
特别是unpredicatable british weather
所以不敢相信自己的感觉
但也不全听从理智

甜品达人曰: 减肥再说吧……

甜品达人

cheesecake
 
都说甜品是女人身材的天敌,可是美食当前怎能抵挡诱惑。吐舌
 
Assorted-Single-Cakes-2
 
甜品的样子简直就是让人无法抗拒天使,特别红心上面那种松软的蛋糕卷。
反倒不是巧克力,而是水果味道的。
我可以接受没有main courses的formal,
但是绝对不能容忍没有甜品的dinner!
要是没有甜品,就会立刻翻脸 讽刺
 
Amaruler
cheese cake作为本人最钟爱太阳的甜品之一,
659148_7cca855bc7_m
仅次于香草冰激凌 vanilla gelato,(当然配上yellow peach最好)
冰激凌的记录是一个下午干掉三大杯,热烈的笑脸
cheese-cake
(这是较小的raspberry cheese cake,大约120-150g)
而cheese cake 的记录是在10多分钟内干掉一个500g raspberry cheese cake,尴尬
Cheese%20Cake
这个卖相不错,这种做法肯定是外行的,(目前在英国还没有看到过这样卖的)
因为但是懂得甜品的你一定会了解,
Miss cheese cake 和Mr kiwi fruit and Mr yellow peach之间不来电的,书呆子
其实当你吃起来的时候,你会突然觉得(罐头)黄桃和奇异果似乎与蛋糕无关,
就是只是蛋糕和水果被放到了一起而已,他们之间没有任何化学反应,
所以说他们就是那种注定只能做朋友,成不了恋人的。
对于Miss cheese cake 正真的Mr right或者杀手是Mr plum和Mr *berry,
这两种一出现,就是立刻能让Miss cheese死心塌地的那种眨眼
IMG_0056New%20York%20Blueberry%20Cheese%20Cake
上面就是plum味道的和blueberry/blackberry 味道的。快忍不住啦大笑
cameral_cakeCheese_Cake_Sampler
Toffee 太妃糖配上碎果仁口味的也不错,但是偶尔吃吃啦。
贪心的我,最好拥有一个集合10多种口味的cheese cake,
最享受用甜品勺挑起一点,融于口中的绵腻幸福,
减肥?!再说吧……

意大利15日

 

可以重播的电影

IMG_9572 

为之神往的地方,

在你按下快门的瞬间,时间被凝固,让整个世界都安静了下来,

也让我安静了下来,永远地定格在脑海里,

阳光透不过Ravello的小巷,只流淌于我的目光之中

曲终人不散,我可以不断地对自己重播那些画面

...

还没到欧洲大陆,就在飞机上遇到了意大利老太太,她非常热情,一路带我从机场到宾馆,

第二天一早到宾馆接我,带着我游览那不勒斯,挺惊喜的。

一起成长

4年前看他起跑时,

对自己说如果这个站在第4跑道的中国人能得金牌,

我就能通过保研的面试。

当时我的成绩是面试者中最后一名,

而中国人从来没有在短跑上得过金牌,

后来他追平了世界纪录,我淘汰了排在我前面的人。

他83的,比我大一个月,也是上海人,在普陀区,

无意识中开始关注他,仿佛邻家男孩,

听到他唱Melody,很投入,其实我也喜欢陶喆。

想有天可以用上海话和他聊天,该有的聊。

说80后怎么怎么了,他决不是退却,也不是要面子要金牌的问题

我相信他,今天看到他的表情我想到"神啊,救救我吧"

BBC 1 频道 Olympic Coverage 主持人说:

LIU Xiang, the hero of 1.3 billion Chinese disappeared...

立刻关上电视,"TMD英国人 落井下石" 

精心准备的早餐也没心情享用了

4年后他会更成熟,

历练就是这样,

在一个并非不以成败论英雄的世界

让我们一起成长。。。

About suffering, they were never wrong

Musee des Beaux Arts

by W. H. Auden

About suffering they were never wrong,

说到苦难,他们从未看错,
The Old Masters; how well, they understood
Its human position; how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along;

古代那些大师:他们深切体认
苦难在人世的地位;当苦难降临,
别人总是在进食或开窗或仅仅默然走过;
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:

当长者正虔诚地、热烈地等,
等奇迹降临,总有孩子们
不特别期待它发生,正巧
在林边的池塘上溜冰:

They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer’s horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.

大师们从不忘记
即使可怖的殉道也必须在一隅
独自进行,在杂乱的一隅
一任狗照常过狗的日子,酷吏的马匹
向一颗树干摩擦无辜的后臀。

In Breughel’s Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster;

例如布鲁果的《伊卡瑞斯》,众人
都悠然不顾那劫难,

the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure;

例如布鲁果的《伊卡瑞斯》,众人
都悠然不顾那劫难,那农夫可能
听见了水波溅洒,呼救无望,
但是不当它是惨重的牺牲;

the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water; and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.

阳光灿照,
不会不照见白净的双腿没入碧湛
的海波;那豪华优雅的海舟必然看见
一幕奇景,一童子自天而降,
却有路要赶,仍安详地向前航行。

Forever young

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever? Forever young

1 

Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

2

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

3

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad men

7

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fleeing horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
why don't they stay young

9

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

6

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young

5

do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

4

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever?
