March 22 Greek IslandsWent to the greek islands (and Athens) with Min last week, our second 'honeyweek'. The trip was awesome! Having been back to the city for only 3 days, already feel down. What if one could be forever free! No, back to work, work hard, harder than ever...This is a time, after all, one celebrates for having a job to go to.
August 19 a long way to go...May 25 the seven-summit从网上找到这张图 (可以贴吗?没有侵权?)。最近又看了一本有关everest的书:the climb。想起了into thin air里介绍的the seven-summit plan for mountaineers。科普一下,就是全世界的登山爱好者可以挑战这样一件了不起的事:登上7大洲的最高峰。它们分别是(图上所标):
Mt Kosciuszdo 2228m Australia
Mt Kilimanjaro 5963m Africa
Mt Everest 8848m Asia
Mt McKinley 6195m UA
Mt Elbrus 5633m Europe (Russia)
Vinson Massif 4897m Antarctica
Mt Aconcagua 6962m SA
当然,任何事情都有批评家。有些人声称seven summit 没什么大不了的。因为accidentally,每个洲的最高峰并不是最难爬的。比如说,K2,亚洲第二峰就以其challenging闻名,每年死在上面的人数远远超过everest的。因此,他们提出过一个seven second summit的说法。。。作为评价更为hardcore的登山者的壮举(当然也就离我们普通观众的境界更远了。。
最近还听说了一些有关everest的事,所以一并写下来:朋友的朋友死在了everest,就在几天前。默哀!(虽然我不认识他,但感觉上已经很close了,以前从没有梦想过可以认识任何一个climb everest的人,in person)。布拉格的市长登上了everest,也在几天前。(questions may be raised that how can a mayer find himself time (3 months!) to do this?
May 15 no titlewho by fire (me), who by water (you?),
who in the sunshine (me), who in the night time (you),
who by high ordeal (me, without a question), who by common trial (you),
who in your merry merry month of May (definitely you), who by very slow decay (me, me, me...),
and who, who shall i say, is calling? May 08 the tower of Babel昨天看小说看到这么一句:
Love which does not build a foundation on good sense is doomed.
一下子就记住了,这不正是我们的成语‘始乱终弃’的最好翻译嘛!正好最近在谈话中寻找这个词的频率有所增加,Yeah! |
