Nigarafalls有多出名，就不用我囉嗦贅述了。夏天是遊覽的旺季，孰不知這大冬天跑去看frozenfalls也別具風格。難得的一個晴朗無風的好天氣，一路走來，確實是一派北國風光，千裏冰封，萬裏雪飄，大河上下，仍然滔滔。零下二十度的嚴寒仍然無法封凍奔騰的水流。但飛濺的水沫可是瞬間冰凍，像小鋼針一樣打在遊人的臉上。夏天去過的Journeybehindthefalls,冬天再訪，水聲轟鳴依舊[

偶爾看到這篇文章，唐代名臣張說的小品文，估計是閑來隨筆，寥寥數語，通俗易懂，不但把錢的本質說個透徹，還給自己描了一副俏皮老頭的自畫像，這古人皮起來，也是沒誰了。問世間錢為何物，直叫人生死相許。看得我拍案叫絕，不禁動了歪腦筋，翻成現代漢語，再翻成英語，搏諸君一笑。想來老先生應該不會入夢來找我要版權費吧。《錢本草》張說錢，味甘，大熱，[

在這個“顏值即正義”的時代，青春似乎隻在於姣妍的容貌，婀娜的身姿，優美的體態，看到SamuelUllman的這首詩，讓我這無美貌可靠，青春亦欠奉的中年人頗感安慰，繼而深受鼓舞。忍不住翻譯以明（自）誌（欺）。

初讀《簡愛》是十二三歲，本以為看的是善良灰姑娘被富有王子拯救於水火的愛情小說，沒想到懵懂中完成了我的女權意識啟蒙。雖然當時，乃至此後多年，我都沒意識到這本書對我三觀的影響和塑造。此書第一次出版於1847年，那個時代，女人隻能作為男人的附屬而存在，連財產擁有權都沒有，更別說其他政治，經濟，社會權利了。此書的精彩之處就在作者charlotteBronte以領先[

天天寫工作報告，無聊的官樣文章。英語，我曾經最愛的科目已淪為謀生工具。很久沒有欣賞享受過語言帶來的律動和美。今天湊巧看到just4fun美眉的貼，讓我一時技癢，也來湊個熱鬧。低頭踏實度日久矣，也該不忘抬頭仰望星空才好。
我對翻譯的理解是除了正式文件需要逐字逐句的翻譯，力求嚴謹細致準確。對文藝作品則應該更注重還原原作者創造的意境。比如此文就[
