今天和大家分享一部改编自畅销小说的电影Wonder，中文名叫奇迹男孩。也是听友分享让我去看的，在此谢谢她，你们以后有什么想分享的也随时给我留言噢。 …… "When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind." --Mr Brown's September Precept “如果要从正确和善良中，作出选择，请选择善良。” Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. And if you really wanna see what people are… all you have to do… is look. By Auggie 善良一点，因为每个人都在与人生苦战。如果你想真正了解他人，你只需要用心…去看。 While nothing justifies striking another student…I know good friends are worth defending. By Mr. Tushman 虽然殴打同学的行为不能通融，但我知道友情是值得捍卫的。 背景音乐：Marcelo Zarvos - The First Day

今天和你们分享一个挺有意思的观点，Maybe procrastinating is not always a bad thing. It may boost your creativity. 很多人都有的拖延症有时候并不一定是坏事，某种程度上，它能激发你的创造性。 …… [ 英文文本 ] Procrastinating is a vice when it comes to productivity, but it can be a virtue for creativity. What you see with a lot of great originals is that they are quick to start but they're slow to finish. 当谈及生产的时候，拖延是一种恶习，但对于创造力来说，拖延却是一种有点。你所看到的许多伟大的原创者，他们都是迅速地开始，却缓慢地结束。 背景音乐： Fotail--Heaven Sunshine

Jane：I want us to be together, for as long as we've got, and if that's not very long then, well, that's just how it is. 我要和你在一起，有多久就是多久，时间不长的话，也没事，两年也够。 There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope. 人类的潜力也不会有边界，我们都是与众不同的，无论生活多么艰辛，你总会有自己的方式发光。生命不息，希望不止。 背景音乐：The Theory of Everything--Johann Johannsson

最近看了一部很燃的电影，《至暗时刻》 Darkest Hour. The movie is about the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who must decide whether to negotiatewith Hitler, or fight against the enemies during the World War II. 第二次世界大战前期，新任命的英德国横扫欧洲大陆的严峻形势下，法国即将投降，英国也岌岌可危，前首相张伯伦被弹劾下台后，首相的位置这个烫手山芋被丘吉尔接下了，当时他已经66岁。保守党企图和解避战，但丘吉尔坚持反抗到底…… [ 英语文本 ] We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. 我们将战斗到底，我们将在法国作战，我们将在海上作战，我们将带着高涨的信心和力量在空中作战，我们将不惜一切代价保卫我们的家园，我们将在海滩上作战，我们将在着陆场作战，我们将在田间和街头作战，我们将在山野作战；我们决不投降。 Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts. 没有最终的成功，也没有致命的失败，最可贵的是继续前进的勇气。 背景音乐：Two steps from hell--Star Sky The Sound of Silence--Bandari

For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen…Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking. 几百万年来，人类都像动物一样生活着。然后某些事发生了，释放了我们的想象力。我想学会了交谈，学会了倾听…我们最伟大的希望能在未来实现，只要我们能自由支配科技，我们就有无限可能。我们所要做的，就是保持交谈。 Keep Talking 歌词： For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals 人类像动物一样活着已经过了数百万年 Then something happenend which unleashed the power of our imagination 现在该发生点什么了 是时候释放我们想象的力量了 We learned to talk 我们学会交谈 There's a silence surrounding me 可我周围一片沉默 I can't seem to think straight 我似乎缕不清思绪 I'll sit in the corner 枯坐在角落里 No one can bother me 没人打搅我 I think I should speak now.（Why won't you talk to me?） 我觉得现在我该说说话（你为什么不跟我聊天？） I can't seem to speak now.（You never talk to me.） 现在我似乎难以言说（你从不跟我聊天） My words won't come out right.（What are you thinking?） 我的话语不会脱口而出（你在想些什么？） I feel like I'm drowning.（What are you feeling?） 我恨不得溺水身亡（你有何感受呢？） I'm feeling weak now.（What are you thinking?） 我感到虚弱无力（你觉得如何呢？） But I can't show my weakness.（You never talk to me.） 但我无法袒露我的弱点（你从不跟我聊天） I sometimes wonder,（What are you feeling?） 我有时想知道（你有何感受呢？） Where do we go from here?（What are you feeling?） 我们将何去何从？（你有何感受呢？） It doesn't have to be like this 事情本不必如此 All we need to do is make sure we keep talking 我们需要做的一切是确保我们一直交谈 Why won't you talk to me?（I feel like I'm drowning.） 你为什么不跟我聊天？（我恨不得溺水身亡） You never talk to me.（You know I can't breathe now.） 你从不跟我聊天（你知道我现在无法呼吸啦） What are you thinking?（We're going nowhere.） 你在想些什么？（我们哪也去不了） What are you feeling?（We're going nowhere.） 你有何感受呢？（我们哪也去不了） Why won't you talk to me 你为什么不跟我聊天 You never talk to me 你从不跟我聊天 What are you thinking 你在想些什么 Where do we go from here 我们将何去何从 It doesn't have to be like this 事情本不必如此 All we need to do is make sure we keep talking 我们需要做的一切是确保我们一直交谈

据说今天是白色情人节 White Day，第一次听到这名字还以为是缅怀已故情人的呢，好吧其实这个节日的庆祝始于日本。White Day was first celebrated in 1978 in Japan, when the men givethe women gifts often consisting of white chocolate. 女生在2月14日情人节送男生礼物，而男生在3月14日回礼，通常包含白巧克力，或许这就是为什么它被称为White Day. …… [ 英语文本 ] When you are young, you may want several love experiences. But as time goes on, you will realize that if you really love someone, the whole life will not be enough. You need time to know, to forgive and to love. All this needs a very big mind. 年轻的时候会想要谈很多次恋爱，但是随着年龄的增长，终于领悟到爱一个人，就算用一辈子的时间，还是会嫌不够。慢慢地去了解、体谅、爱这个人，需要有非常宽大的胸襟。 背景音乐：情书--班得瑞

前天奥斯卡颁奖啦，《三个广告牌》里那个痞痞的警察Jason Dixon的扮演者Sam Rockwell获得了最佳配角奖，Best Actor in a Supporting Role. 最近也看了这部电影，不得不佩服Sam Rockwell的演技，也很喜欢他这个角色…… 英文文本： （临死之前，他给Jason留下的信里的后半部分写道：） I know you're gonna wince when I say this, but what you need to become a detective is love. Because through love comes calm, and through calm comes thought. And you need thought to detect stuff sometimes, Jason. It's kinda all you need. You don't even need a gun. And you definitely don't need hate. Hate never solved nothing, but calm did. And thought did. Try it. 我知道当我说出这个你会想躲开，但我还是想说，如果你想成为一名警探，你需要的，是爱。因为由爱可以生平静，由平静又能生思考。而只有当你有自己的想法，你才能去侦察一些事情。Jason，这差不多就是所有你需要有的。你甚至都不需要枪。你也绝对不需要仇恨。仇恨不能解决任何事情，但思想可以。试试吧。

长期计划该怎么更好地坚持呢？ “I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, things I could keep doing, they were more likely to stick. There’s nothing wrong with big, crazy changes. They’re a ton of fun. But they are less likely to stick.” 当我做些小的，持续性的变化，我可以把它们更容易地坚持做下来。又大又疯狂的事情并没有什么不对，它们的乐趣无穷，但它们很难坚持下去。 …… 背景音乐：Meja--Always With Me

"If everybody else sings about sex and love and lust and money, then somebody's gotta be singing about life and faith and hope and things of that nature. I'd rather have a song that peaks at #15 that's meaningful and embedded in the cultural framework we live in than a #1 song that explodes for five seconds, becomes the dance hit of the summer, then goes away." -- Ryan Tedder 如果每个人的歌都是关于性和爱、欲望和金钱，那么总要有个人歌唱生活、信仰、希望，以及本质上类似的东西。我宁愿创作出一首排名第15，但有意义并植根于文化背景的歌，也不想创作出排名第一、大火了五秒钟而后消失在那个夏天的火爆舞曲。 歌词： Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep 最近我总是辗转反侧 难以入眠 Dreaming about the things that we could be 对我们曾有过的愿景 浮想联翩 But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been playing hard, 但亲爱的 我早已在内心深处祈祷着 Sitting, no more counting dollars 祈祷自己不再迷失于金钱的追逐中 we’ll be counting stars 我们可以细数满天繁星 Yeah, we’ll be counting stars 细数满天繁星 品味生活乐趣 I see this life like a swinging vine 生活就像一株跃动的藤蔓 Swing my heart across the line 长驱直入 激活我的内心 And my face is flashing signs 在我脸上 划过迹象 Seek it out and you shall find 遍寻之后 你能发现 Old, but I'm not that old 我虽上年纪 但不致老态龙钟 Young, but I'm not that bold 虽还年轻 却未必鲁莽失礼 I don't think the world is sold 坚信这个世界美好如初 I'm just doing what we're told 我只是循规蹈矩地生活着 I feel something so right when doing the wrong thing 惯于离经叛道中 体味心安理得 And I feel something so wrong when doing the right thing 亦于按部就班中 痛感乏善可陈 I could lie, coudn't I, could lie 我欺骗过 伪装过 失真过 Everything that kills me makes me feel alive 但置我于死地者 必将赐我以后生 Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep 最近我总是辗转反侧 难以入眠 Dreaming about the things that we could be 对我们曾有过的愿景 浮想联翩 But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard, 但亲爱的 我早已在内心深处祈祷着 Sitting, no more counting dollars 祈祷自己不再迷失于金钱的追逐中 we’ll be counting stars 我们可以细数满天繁星 I feel the love and I feel it burn 我感觉到爱火在胸中熊起 Down this river, every turn 于河流的每个迂回处翻腾 Hope is a four-letter word 希望只是个四字单词 Make that money, watch it burn 身外之物 皆可抛却 Oh, but I'm not that old 我虽上年纪 但未必老态龙钟 Young, but I'm not that bold 虽还年轻 却不致鲁莽失礼 I don't think the world is sold 坚信这个世界美好如初 I'm just doing what we're told 我只是循规蹈矩地生活着 I feel something so right when doing the wrong thing 惯于离经叛道中 体味心安理得 And I feel something so wrong when doing the right thing 亦于按部就班中 痛感乏善可陈 I could lie, coudn't I, could lie 我欺骗过 伪装过 失真过 Everything that kills me makes me wanna fly 但置我于低谷者 定能助我以崛起 Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep 最近我总是辗转反侧 难以入眠 Dreaming about the things that we could be 对我们曾有过的愿景 浮想联翩 But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard, 但亲爱的 我早已在内心深处祈祷着 Sitting, no more counting dollars 祈祷自己不再迷失于金钱的追逐中 we’ll be counting stars 我们可以细数满天繁星 Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep 最近我总是辗转反侧 难以入眠 Dreaming about the things that we could be 对我们曾有过的愿景 浮想联翩 But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard, 但亲爱的 我早已在内心深处祈祷着 Sitting, no more counting dollars 祈祷自己不再迷失于金钱的追逐中 we’ll be we’ll be counting stars 我们可以细数满天繁星 品味生活乐趣 Take that money, watch it burn 身外之物 皆可抛却 Sing in the river The lessons are learnt 泛舟当歌 人生几何 Take that money, watch it burn 身外之物 皆可抛却 Sing in the river The lessons are learnt 泛舟当歌 人生几何 Take that money, watch it burn 身外之物 皆可抛却 Sing in the river The lessons are learnt 泛舟当歌 人生几何 Everything that kills me makes feel alive 沉舟侧畔千帆过 病树前头万木春 Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep 最近我总是辗转反侧 难以入眠 Dreaming about the things that we could be 对我们曾有过的愿景 浮想联翩 But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard, 但亲爱的 我早已在内心深处祈祷着 Sitting, no more counting dollars 祈祷自己不再迷失于金钱的追逐中 we’ll be we’ll be counting stars 我们可以细数满天繁星 品味生活乐趣 Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep 最近我总是辗转反侧 难以入眠 Dreaming about the things that we could be 对我们曾有过的愿景 浮想联翩 But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard, 但亲爱的 我早已在内心深处祈祷着 Sitting, no more counting dollars 祈祷自己不再迷失于金钱的追逐中 we’ll be we’ll be counting stars 我们可以细数满天繁星 品味生活乐趣 Take that money, watch it burn 身外之物 皆可抛却 Sing in the river The lessons are learnt 泛舟当歌 人生几何 Take that money, watch it burn 身外之物 皆可抛却 Sing in the river The lessons are learnt 泛舟当歌 人生几何 Take that money, watch it burn 身外之物 皆可抛却 Sing in the river The lessons are learnt 泛舟当歌 人生几何 Take that money, watch it burn 身外之物 皆可抛却 Sing in the river The lessons are learnt 泛舟当歌 人生几何

周末看了一部很平实，却让我特别感动的剧情片，改编自同名小说的The leisure seeker, 中文译名是《爱在记忆消失前》。 Leisure是闲暇时间的意思，the leisure seeker是一对身患重症、逃离家庭去旅游的老夫妻给他们开的房车起的名字。 男主人公John患有阿兹海默症，记忆越来越差，甚至连自己孩子的名字都记不起来，但作为一个海明威的死忠粉，却一直记得海明威书里的句子。 女主角是他的妻子Ella，是一名英语文学教授，癌症晚期，却一直希望能实现丈夫的梦想，到海明威的故乡去。 But they enjoy the journey very much. They recapture their passion for life, and their love for each other... 英语文本： “The sad truth is, John and I and the kids only took Route 66 once on our trips to Disneyland. Our family, like the rest of America, succumbed to the lure of faster highways, more direct routes, higher speed limits. We forgot about taking the slow way. It makes you wonder if something inside us knows that our lives are going to pass faster than we could ever realize.” “一个悲伤的事实是，John和我还有孩子们只自驾过66号公路一次，为了去迪士尼乐园。我们一家，就像其他的美国人一样，屈服于更快的高速公路，更多捷径，更高的限速。但我们忘了去享受慢生活。这让我想到，我们内心深处是否知道，我们的生命其实过得比我们想象中的快得多。” “It doesn’t upset me to think about dying. What upsets me is the idea of John being alone…The idea of one of us without the other.” “想到死亡并没有让我难过，让我难过的是想到John独自一人，还有想到我们中的一个失去了另一个。” 背景音乐： Can't take my eyes off you & Sounds of Scilence

Now it’s the time to take risk. (You don’t have kids, your obligations..oh sorry, probably not, of course..) But As you get older, your obligations increase. And once you have a family, you start taking not just for yourself, but for your family as well. It gets much harder to do things that might not work out. So now it’s the time to do that before you have those obligations. So I want to encourage you to take risks now, and to do something bold. You won’t regret it. 趁着年轻，去冒险吧。（你们还没有孩子，噢抱歉，也想有人已经有孩子了。）随着年龄的增长，责任也会增长。当你有家庭以后，承担风险的就不再只是你一个人，而是你全家。要去冒险做一些可能成不了的事难度可能会更大。在没有这些责任之前，做这样的事负担会比较小。所以我鼓励大家去冒险，胆子放大一点，将来你不会后悔的。 背景音乐： Alan Silverstri--Forest Gump Suite

祝大家新年快乐！感恩陪伴，情人节也快乐噢~ 春节后会恢复更新哈。
