【大湖一語閑言02】A 'Longines' watch! 英語雜感：網評林誌玲法網代言名表,
"Elegance, both of a watch, and an oriental beauty ! "
Hard to describe how pretty it is as a watch , but easy to say it's nice. Watch brands spend huge amount of money every year on celebrities, oriental or Blondie Europeans. Pretty as they are, they add value to the brand name as well as the brands did on them.
Also, difficult to say why oriental people are so keen on the value that a single time piece can tell, like the one on her wrist. or "Longines", as we may see on her tennis hat.
Careful readers might get the answer by it's Chinese translation: "浪琴"-means A Piano's Romance. Yes, a beautiful name for a time piece. Both men and women can hardly resist the temptation to have one. Me too, looking at my limited piece of a Navigator model called "Pioneer" as I recall it's name. To those language lovers, it is really a rarely good example for brand name in Chinese version.
Not to let myself fall too deep into the some old memories, or story of a sort, I look at the photography in this piece of news: it's pity that the watch did show well to it's full size in the picture. Quite big one, another new trend in lady's watch design? little heavy on her hand, but eye-catchy in deed!
People might agree that beauty, human or non-human, some times requires sometimes the appreciation deeply from inside, and is beyond the language, which meets it's limitation to express the appreciation by people who process them.
Watches, are belong to those article brought in great value, but has human emotion evolved in. Swiss people are really smart as to have developed the goods, and names not only built in it's utility but human emotions as well.
Stories vary and numerous on watches, father to son, or mother to daughter, and lovers to their hearty ones. Oriental are known many centuries back for a machine to be made never stop to tell the time, so i guess it's deeply rooted motive for having a good-valued watch.
Sports grounds are another battle field for the brand names. Tennis mostly played by individuals, man and woman, explores their beauty psychically and spiritually, speaks the most elegant languages among all other sports. A nice shot captured when the start sits or jumps, or at moment when ready to serve the ball really attracts people's attention to what they wear on their wrist.
It’s easier for us to discover the relevant value in theirs with those on the star's. People forget or never brother to think how hard to make a watch, on which, the hours of concentration in piling up about hundreds of parts into it's final shape, but very easily they connect the celebrities with themselves, by a looking at their watches in hands. And it really does not matter if they can't play tennis at all.
Me too, I looked at my watch again, and returned a look at this piece of news, the sweetie memories of a trip made with my partner many years ago in Swiss brought a smile in my face.

林誌玲法網賽場代言名表 法國粉絲驚呼:太美了(圖) 網易娛樂
法國網球公開賽正在巴黎舉行，某瑞士鍾表品牌自去年起開始讚助這項比賽。今年，該品牌特別安排全球代言人林誌玲在結束其戛納電影節行程後於5月30日前往巴黎觀賽。
當天這位“台灣第一美女”特地換上藍色poloT恤配白色短裙，露出修長雙腿，清新俏麗地出現在眾人麵前，筆直的後背和完美的身材也仿佛證明上帝造人時的刻意垂青。在世界時尚之都的繁華地段，林誌玲的到來掀起了一陣不大不小的旋風，引得見多識廣的巴黎人紛紛側目。隻聽人群不斷有人驚呼，“太漂亮了，她太美了！”
沒想到，林誌玲來到法網賽場還有意外收獲。當天適逢中國台灣的網球女選手莊佳容與以色列的男選手剛打贏一場混雙比賽，贏球後，莊佳容聽說有一位台灣的林姓模特也在會場，便和父親前往探訪，一看是林誌玲，莊佳容像個小影迷似的、害羞留下兩人難得的合影，林誌玲也分享了莊佳容的喜悅。
主辦單位還安排現年19歲、目前法國排名第一的網球選手Richard Gasquet教林誌玲發球，林誌玲架式十足地試過幾個發球動作後，即頂著豔陽前往場邊觀賽約10分鍾，隨即離席接受亞洲媒體的專訪。有記者問誌玲怎麽看待即將舉行的北京奧運會，林誌玲說很期待，但是有點沮喪地說，不過還沒有買到票。問她最喜歡什麽體育項目時，林誌玲像個小孩子似的興奮起來，“我要看體操、我要看體操！”
在歐洲的工作告一段落，林誌玲第二天一早便奔赴香港參加6月1日的賑災音樂義演。
