看了下前段時間自己的譯文,發現譯得挺糟糕的,於是做了修改。堅持學習就會有進步,這種進步自己可以感覺得。

昨晚早早睡下,心中有種預感,6:30打開門前,台階下的香水百合開了,小小的,嬌嬌的,萌萌的,有點害羞的樣子。探下身去聞,和國內香水百合一樣的味道。這裏叫東方百合。我小時候也是這般害羞,隻是沒有這般美麗。簡單擦拭完電腦桌,剛要坐下,窗外落入眼角的樣子卻讓我心頭一驚。期待著的我忙跑到客廳,拉開陽前的門。十幾分鍾之後,外麵就升起了青白色的薄霧,DECK外的幾株蒼鬆,蒼鬆前坡下的新苗,一個白色的尖頂隱現於一個樹冠像彈頭形的鬆樹後麵。我就站在自家的陽台上,欣賞著詩意朦朧的清晨。
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把兒子的飛機送還給我,過後我們坐下聊了會。我說我在網上買了他堂兄的書LETTING GO. 兩周後會到,等我讀後和他分享我的感受。他聽了很高興,說那是部很私人的書。我想他是擔心我會感到失望,於是說“EVERY LIFE IS A STORY. 我喜歡讀普通人寫的,分享他們個人經曆與感受的文章,也當我學英文。前兩天有人給皮卡老師出學習英語的主意,其中有一個就是找個美國人聊天。這確實是個好主意,年輕人沒時間,找個賦閑的美國人聊。聊天對於雙方都是很有收獲的。然後我說兒子已經在家飛了那套KEVIN轉讓的小飛機。他說:“在家裏飛,不怕撞壞嗎?”。 我說:”我回家見他飛,也挺吃驚的。但見他飛得很穩很低,時常懸停在低空。可能是他之前已經飛了三四年的某通無人機,有一定經驗。““要是去俱樂部飛行場地飛的話,他可以設置路障,橋梁學習比賽飛行。”我把這話轉達給兒子,兒子說“在家也可以練,在兩張椅子間,或者鑽桌子,椅子腿飛。”他是懶得跑。想想兒子七八歲時手握筆握不穩,五分鍾就會握得一掌心汗。對比現在,真是感到被福佑了。
當下城裏的熱文是有關國內正在熱放的描寫抗美援朝/韓戰的影片。喜歡了解曆史,於是基本都讀來學習了。看過後,就覺得不管對哪方來說,都太慘了。祈福和平,不要再有戰爭。描寫一場這麽悲慘戰爭的影片,擱我是不會去看的。讀後除了學習曆史外,還去溫習了WOULD 的虛擬用法,不被提醒,差不多都忘了。
早上送兒子去學校時,看著他和幾個孩子一同過馬路。除了他一個人,其它五個印度裔,兩個白人高中生都沒有向給他們讓行的汽車招手表示感謝。幾次觀察後,看到他現在已經習慣了這一禮貌動作,感到欣慰自豪。
下午問了他有關動漫遊戲原神主題樂的事,並讓他播放給我聽。於是15年以來,我和兒子第一次坐下,靜靜地聽著同一首樂曲。他還給我看了幾個不同中外交響樂團現場演奏的視頻,視聽效果真的很有衝擊力,讓人不能不佩服當前中國年輕音樂人的實力。再讓他告訴我他喜歡原神的理由。他說了:故事好,人物角色好,音樂好,畫麵好。玩家跟著人物遊走世界。。之所以去年九月上線以來迅速風迷中日美,除了以上幾個因素外,遊戲還是免費的(當然,玩進去就會有人願意花錢,遊戲公司隻要賺這10-20%玩家的錢就夠了)。果然,我看了一點,風景如畫,水月洞天。看了視頻中對遊戲公司領導的采訪,中國部份的風景靈感來自湖南張家界。不用問,下次回國他肯定有興趣到張家界看看。想起來了,裏麵的人物就像早年我著迷的<花仙子>。
