冬日的周末,我來到美語壇,讀到了肖莊寫給我的一段話,送給我的一首歌, 歌名為 "A Friend Like You" ,她寫道:"這半生裏我在每一個生活過的地方都呆了幾乎十年,或更久,這些生活過的地方,如今對我都是故鄉。算起來我來美語壇也很快就要有十年之久了,這裏自然也成了我的故鄉;而你,就不僅僅是一個朋友,而更加象一個親人了。與你分享這首歡快的歌曲,它名字就叫A Friend Like You."
這首歌曲是由Fresh Beat Band演唱, 歌中唱到:“You're my friend and you'll always be. When the day is mean and you're unhappy, All you've gotta do is think of me. I've been looking for a friend like you. You're the smile that makes time fly by. You make me laugh, you don't have to try. When I'm feeling low, and I wanna cry. My cheer-me-up thought is you. I'm so glad I've got a friend like you." (請點擊聆聽)。
讀著這真摯的心語,聽著這動人的歌曲,和肖莊在美語壇交往的點點滴滴,就在我腦海裏閃現,淚水竟不覺地濕潤了我的眼睛。如果肖莊不提起,我真的沒有想到我們認識竟快達10年之久了,那慢慢的人生,仿佛就是幾個瞬間。我是2007年來美語壇的,在那裏,我結識了肖莊,她當時花了許多的時間練習英語發音,每日一讀[新概念英語](New Concept English),她的堅持精神帶動了美語壇的朗讀熱潮;後來,她還發起了電影配音活動(請點擊欣賞) ,為網友的視頻配音製作,化了不少的時間和精力,頗為專業,是美語壇的精品之一;她最近還在美語壇分享了名家英語詩歌朗誦係列,美語壇的網友在翻譯這些詩作呢。(請點擊:An Audio Guide to Poetry Recitation)

You and your kids ride bikes together on summer days. What a sweet and nice picture. As for me, I have not ridden bike for ages. I am a little bit afraid of hopping on the bike now. I occasionally do some pedaling on a stationary bike. There are no trails near my house, but there is a small park nearby. I sometimes walk/jog in the park. I walked 6 miles last weekend.

回複 '林貝卡' 的評論 : That's great. Walking/jogging is excellent exercise, physically and mentally. If you could find some biking trails nearby, that will be fun, too. We have trails cross the street. In summer kids love to ride to restaurant with me, 4 miles each way. All in the paved trail.

Hi, dingziqiang, thanks for explaining it to me. I really appreciate it. Inspired by you, I start to walk to our local library, bank and grocery stores instead of driving. I know I will never achieve what you have achieved. But I will start small.
My dear sis, thanks for coming to listen to the song. Have a nice weekend.

You are amazing. I admire your persistence. You are my role model. I need to exercise more. I hope that you will reach your goal of "20 minutes FTP test @ 280 watts." Are "FTB"and "watts" biking racing related terms? Last but not least, thanks for sharing the song by Bella Yao. I watched it on youtube. It is a kind of song mixed with a little bit jazz and some light rock. I enjoyed it very much. Have a nice weekend.
Did 200 minutes @ 200 watts today without any stop/break. 6 bottles of 500ml Gatorade, 4 GU GELs, total 1100 calories.
Room temperature 60 degree, with fan on all the time.
Suddenly 330 minutes @ 200 watts appears to be my goal, though I never thought I can do it this year.
Expected to deliver 20 minutes FTP test @ 280 watts in March. So happy with myself.

葉子姐,I am so blessed to have you as my sis. You are always there for me no matter what. I am thankful and grateful. Thank you for everything that you have done for MYSJ. I really appreciate it.
