[Foodscapes 食材所做成的景觀]

Cheese houses, awnings and baskets of macarroni, grains and vegetables form this small village set.
起士房子、通心粉雨棚和籃子、穀物和蔬菜形成了這個小村莊。

Italian culinary delight with many vegetables and pasta. Houses (through the window) are made of cheese.
伴隨許多的蔬菜和義大利麵的義大利廚房樂趣。

At first view, it is difficult to notice that the mountains are made of bread...
在第一眼時是很難看出這些山是由麵包做的

Creativity is impressive, balloons made of fruits and vegetables, trees made of broccolis, rocks of potatoes, Farm fields of corn and cuccumber, city of cheese, with a carrot tower, and so on...
創造力是很吝人印象深刻的，熱氣球是由水果和蔬菜做成的，是由球花甘藍做成，
馬鈴薯石頭，玉米和小黃瓜的田，起士城市帶著一個胡蘿蔔塔等等...

In this alpine scene, Grissini biscuits and Parma ham turn into a wheelbarrow that will be pulled by the way of salami with trees of bacon around it.
在這個高山景色中, Grissini 餅乾和 Parma火腿變成了手推車，並且將在培樹圍繞著的薩拉米香腸路上被拖著走

In this sight, the main
ingredients are:

Ham: sky, mountains,
waterfall and river;

Bread: rocks

Grissini biscuits: house
and trapiche

Salami: brickworks
在這個景色,主要組成元素是
火腿：天空、山、瀑布和河流
麵包：岩石
Grissini餅乾：房子和 trapiche (西班牙文不知道什麼意思)
薩拉米香腸：屋瓦 (brickworks原意是專建築體，但...)

In this alpine scene, the stars are the cold meat. Grissini biscuits and Parma ham turn into the sleigh pulled by the mountains of snow made of other cold meats, as smoked turkey and Bologna. The Parma ham is also located on the “pines”.
在這個高山景色中, 星星是冷肉片,Grissini 餅乾和 Parma火腿變成了拖曳雪橇，覆蓋著雪的山岳是由其他的冷肉做成, 像是煙燻火雞肉以及Bologna香腸. Parma火腿也被放在松樹上

The photos will be used by a British supermarket chain in an advertising campaign, and Warner also thinks of putting them all together in a book to promote healthy wholesome eating habits for children.
照片將被一家英國連鎖超市用在廣告活動中, 而 Warner也想把他們一起放在一本書中來推行孩童的健康飲食習慣
I hope the campagin will work. I didn´t feel like eating, after seeing so much good stuff...

But then again, I wasn’t really very hungry at the time.

How about you?
我希望這個廣告活動能夠有作用. 在看到這麼多好東西之後,我並不想要吃但接著再一次,在那當時我並不是真的非常餓
你(妳)呢?

2009 Happy new year --FOODSCAPES(51期)

2009-01-01T21:47:00.001+08:00

[Foodscapes 食材所做成的景觀]

2009 年到來了，又是新的一年！
去年不管大家過的如何，都希望今年能越來越好，財源廣進！

這一陣子大家應該都趁著假期吃了不少的好東西吧，
但是對著一道道的美食，你又說的出那些食材的英文嗎？

今天要介紹一篇很有趣，既有好看的畫面，又可以順便學到食材英文的文章喔：

FOODSCAPES

The British photographer Carl Warner created a series of photos using only food to make the scenery.
“Foodscapes” (union of the words food and landscape) show underwater caves, forests, beaches at sunset, and even waterfalls, using fruits, vegetables, cheese, cold meat, pasta, and other grains.

食景

英國的攝影家 Carl Warner 創造了一系列只使用了食物來製作景色的照片
“Foodscapes”(世界上食物和景色的結合) 使用了水果、蔬菜、起士、凍肉、義大利麵以及各式榖物，秀出了水底洞穴, 森林, 日落海灘，甚至是瀑布。

In this forest, trees are made of broccoli, with peas hanging as fruits and the highways are paved with cumin. The grass is made of herbs and the mountains, of bread. Clouds made of cauliflower, decorate the sky

在森林中，樹是以甘藍做成並吊著豆子當作果實，以及以小茴香鋪成的道路。草皮是用香料做成而山則用麵包，雲由花耶菜做成點綴了天空。

The photgrapher says that he is well known in the neighbourhood where he lives, in Kent, England, for passing many hours in the market looking for the best broccoli or the best pepper to “compose” his scenes.
To gain depth, the photos are taken on tables with 1,2 x 2,4 metres square. Besides, they are registered in”layers”, to avoid the food shrivelling before the picture is taken.

攝影者說因為經過數小時在超市尋找最好的甘藍或是胡椒來組成他的景色，他已經被住家 (英國肯特) 附近的鄰居所熟知。
為了要獲得深度，照片是在1.2 x2.4公尺的方形桌上照的。此外在照這些圖片之前這些照片被層層註記以避免食物乾枯掉。

The edible ingredients in this rural scene of Italian inspiration include a small wagon made of lasagna slices, fields of pasta, and clouds of mozzarela. Trees of pepper, parsley and basil complete the scene, in the distance, a small village made of cheese.

在這個具有義大利靈感的鄉村風味風景中的可實用素材包含了由lasagna薄片組成的小貨車、義大利麵的田野以及mozzarela的雲朵。胡椒樹、荷蘭芹以及羅勒組成了風景。而在遠處則是由起士做成的村莊。

“I like the way of how the little aspects of nature look big”, says Carl Warner. At the Italian inspiration´s kitchen – many tomatoes and olives.

He confesses that, till now, he hasn´t yet convinced his four children to eat more vegetables.

“At least, I can´t say that they play with food more than I do”, declares the photographer

Carl Warner說：我喜歡天然的小地方其實看起來很大的這個觀點。在具有許多蕃茄和橄欄的義大利靈感廚房。他坦承，直到現在他還沒有讓他的小孩相信去吃多點蔬菜。至少我不能說他們與食物玩樂勝過於我。
-攝影家的聲明-

This cavern is made of marine crustaceans. The rocks are made of bread, but, at the deep of the sea, they are made of cauliflower. To make the tri-dimensional sensation in the pictures, each scene is composed on a 1,2 x 2,4 m square table.

洞穴是由海洋甲殼綱動物所組成，岩石是由麵包組成，但海洋深處是由花椰菜組成，為了在圖片中製造三度空間的感覺，每個場景都是在1.2 x 2.4公尺的方桌上組成。

Rice, coconut, many grains and a sky made of purple cabbage compose this bucolic “landscape”.

米、椰子、許多穀物以及由子高麗菜組成了這個鄉下風味的景色

Trees made of cabbage leaves, rocks of sweet potato, the narrow canyon made of bread and the sky made of purple cabbage.

甘藍菜的葉子組成了樹，蕃薯石頭，狹窄的峽谷由麵包組成，天空由紫甘藍組成。

The red sea of this beach, at sunset, is made of salmon slices. The rocks are made of potato and bread. A small boat made of beans completes the scene.
這片日落時的紅海海灘是由鮭魚切片組成。岩石是由馬鈴薯和麵包組成，豆子做的小船完成了這副景色。

Shitake mushrooms, sesame and other grains
椎茸 (香菇)、芝麻和其他穀物。

The rainbow was perfect behind the forest of vegetables and potato
彩虹完美的在馬鈴薯和蔬菜森林之後

還有一些，明天再弄～

英文簡訊網站(50期)

2008-12-30T22:04:00.001+08:00

[英文簡訊網站]

前幾期介紹了很多跟動畫有關的材料，
這期開始月亮傑克會盡量介紹一些

隨意的逛到了這個網站，我覺得很適合英文學習使用：Free sms jokes & text messages
雖然說他還有hindi語跟urdu語，不過還是以英文為主。

這網站把簡訊分成很多類別：成人簡訊(!?)、紀念日簡訊、愚人節簡訊…等等

adult sms 成人簡訊有一篇 it’s too tight 很有趣
原來他們是在挑選結婚戒指

這篇也讓我印象深刻，很有意思：Everything is incomplete without ME

Everything is incomplete without ME 沒有了ME(我)，所有的事情都不會是完整的。
..mory 記憶 (Memeory)
Co..dy 喜劇 (Comedy)
Ti.. 時間 (Time)
Ga.. 遊戲 (Game)
So..thing 某些事(Something)
..aning 意義 (Meaning)
Even this ..ssage! 甚至是這封簡訊 ( Message )

So dont forget ME. 所以，請別忘了我哦！

還有sorry sms 情侶吵架應該蠻好用的。

連早晚安的簡訊都有，真是好玩。

簡單的文字，有時候卻是值得玩味。

第14道門 Coraline (49期)

2008-12-28T10:32:00.001+08:00

[第14道門 Coraline]

因為我很喜歡聖誕夜驚魂的緣故，有個朋友寄了這個影片給我：

看了這個預告，我覺得我對這部影片還蠻有興趣的。
於是就開始找相關資料，才發現原來台灣有出版過這本書：第十四道門
節錄博客來的介紹如下：

不要打開這本書！
除非你已經做好心理準備……

◎榮獲星雲獎、布萊姆．史托克獎、藍帶獎等大獎暨10項年度推薦好書！
◎《波特萊爾大遇險》作者、《黑暗元素》三部曲作者、《魔法師豪爾》系列作者等多位名家暨各大媒體一致強力推薦背書！
◎即將拍成電影，由《聖誕夜驚魂》導演亨利˙謝利克親自改編和執導！
◎高踞出版家週刊、北卡獨立書商協會暢銷排行榜TOP 10！
◎熱爆美國亞馬遜網路書店！逾250位讀者留評，平均評價高達四顆半星！

每個家都有一道上了鎖的門。
千萬不要好奇去打開它，
因為你永遠不知道，
門的後面將通往哪裡……

寇洛琳的新家有一百五十三樣藍色的東西、二十一扇窗戶、十四道門。十四道門裡有十三道沒鎖，寇洛琳好奇地把每一道門都打開來看看。第十四道門是上了鎖的，但門後只有一面磚牆。有一天，寇洛琳偷偷地打開了這道門，卻發現門後竟然出現一條通往隔壁公寓的走道。

另一頭的公寓跟寇洛琳的家一模一樣，甚至也有『另一個爸爸』和『另一個媽媽』，他們長得也跟寇洛琳的爸爸媽媽一模一樣，除了眼睛是又圓又大的黑鈕扣。一開始，另一個『家』裡的一切都棒透了！食物比較好吃，書本裡的畫會扭來扭去、閃閃發光，玩具盒裡有可以飛來飛去的發條天使，還有牙齒會咯咯作響的迷你恐龍頭骨。但是寇洛琳慢慢感覺到那裡似乎有點不太對勁，她想要回去自己真正的家了，『另一個媽媽』卻說：『我們需要妳，寇洛琳。我們要妳永遠留在這裡！』……

看了這段介紹之後再看一次上面的電影預告片，應該就比較知道電影在講什麼了吧。
另外一段介紹，再練練英聽：

這裡有維基的英文介紹：

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

下面有 A-Z的海報，裡頭的英文都很有趣，可以研究研究。

月亮傑克的由來：聖誕夜驚魂 The Nightmare before Christmas (48期)

2008-12-27T19:31:00.001+08:00

[聖誕夜驚魂 The Nightmare before Christmas]

月亮傑克這個名字是源自於我很喜歡聖誕夜驚魂 The Nightmare before Christmas 這部電影。
現在這部電影幾乎可以在youtube看到所有的片段：
這是原聲帶的曲目，我把他們連結到youtube上面，另附歌詞：

This is Halloween
Jack Lament
What's This
Town Meeting
Jack's Onsession
Kidnap The Sandy Claws
Making Christmas
Oogie Boogie's Song
Sally's Song
Poor Jack
Finale

歌詞：
This is Halloween
Jack Lament
What's This
Town Meeting Jack's Onsession
Kidnap The Sandy Claws
Making Christmas
Oogie Boogie's Song
Sally's Song
Poor Jack
Finale

完整劇本：

The Nightmare Before Christmas Script

就是這張大海報，才讓我取名叫做月亮傑克的：

天方夜談 BEDTIME STORIES (47期)

2008-12-26T09:40:00.001+08:00

[月亮傑克話家常]

看電影學英文是一件很不錯的事情，
其實不管是看電影或是英文影集還是看那些discovery, national geographic之類的，
只要是英語發音的就是好的。

不過大多數的人看的時候比較集中精神在劇情，
充分享受娛樂效果，
要練到除了能盡興之外，
還能夠聽到英文，
甚至比對翻譯，
然後口中念念有詞，
這樣英文自然就會進步很多。

利用DVD可以顯示/隱藏字幕或是雙字幕的特性，
選一小段來重複練習，也是一種方法。

月亮傑克就是希望大家能利用自己的興趣來學好英文，
而不是面對枯燥的課本。

[天方夜譚]

今天要來練習英文的材料是即將上映的一部電影：天方夜談 BEDTIME STORIES (12/31早場起)

中文字幕預告片：

無字幕預告片：

裡頭那個噴到店員那幕實在是笑死我了：

店員：sir, that's for christmas tree.

主角不小心噴到店員…

主角：Oh,come on, guy. It doesn't hurt that bad.

然後主角噴了自己....
狂叫著說： Ah! You're right that hurts!

真白痴，idiot, 但是，真好笑！哇哈哈！

[英文單字 from 新浪字典]

環境不景氣，也要活出光明人生(46期)

2008-12-25T10:17:00.003+08:00

[月亮傑克話家常]

Merry Christmas!

今天一早就有朋友給月亮傑克發了一個很感人的影片，
裡頭講一個很積極的人，怎樣把人生過的比誰都還好，還有意義。
他叫做 Nick Vujicic

另外這個影片也讓我想到那個最後的演講 ( The Last Lecture )by 蘭迪波許（Randy Pausch）
他在他的癌症末期的時候，以誠懇、幽默的態度去分享他獨特的經驗。他談的不是死亡，而是人生中的重要議題，包括克服障礙、實現兒時夢想、幫助別人實現夢想、把握每一個時刻…

今天月亮傑克要在這個「聖誕」節，
來跟大家分享這兩個感人的故事，
也希望大家除了受到不景氣的影響之外，
也能活出光明人生！

remember:

It's a lie to think that you are not good enough.
It's a lie to think that you're not worth anything.

[Nick Vujicic ]

影片裡頭最讓我感動的是這句話：
Nick Vujicic: “And you keep on concentrating on the things that you wish to have or things you didn’t have, and you soon will forget what you do have!“

poya182也把影片中部分的句子打出來，大家可以把句子背下來：Nick Vujicic 2008 HK

另外一段比較長的將近九分鐘： http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=TtweZxNGk1Y
這裡頭有些Nick生活的片段很感人，看到他刮鬍子的樣子，我覺得眼淚都快滾出來了～

這段影片的節錄：

耶利米書29:11
耶和華說、我知道我向你們所懷的意念、是賜平安的意念、不是降災禍的意念、要叫你們末後有指望。

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

[蘭迪波許（Randy Pausch） ]

有關這個教授的介紹已經很多了，就不在此贅述

博客來書籍館>最後的演講

Mr.6寫的癌末教授Randy Pausch的最後一場演說，怎能是最後一場？

艾倫陳的記事本這邊艾倫陳有節錄一些句子，跟月亮傑克想寫的差不多，請大家直接在這邊看吧。

影片觀看：

完整的影片太常了，有一個小時44分鐘，怕大家沒耐心，那就先看個簡介吧：

完整的影片：

演講詞翻譯〈簡體中文版〉：

艾倫陳網頁上看到的：http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/Randy/pauschLastLectureChineseTranslation_10_25_07.pdf

最後，還是希望大家佳節愉快！

趣味橫生的聖誕老人圖 & 祝大家Merry X’mas (第45期)

2008-12-24T10:41:00.001+08:00

[月亮傑克話家常]

這兩天天氣比較冷了，
不過這樣也比較有過聖誕節的氣氛吧！

部落格上面的訂閱人數已經突破10個人了
這也是對月亮傑克的肯定吧，
我會繼續找一些有趣的英文題材給大家的。

既然今天是聖誕夜，就不要看太枯燥的東西啦，
來點有趣一點的吧。

[介紹一]

這篇文章的標題很聳動：
Lego Santa Crab Will Eat Your Cookies, Drink Your Milk, Kill You
(暴跳如雷的聖誕老人會吃掉你的餅乾,喝掉你的牛奶，還會吃了你喔！)

它的內容是：
Dear Kids. You all have been bad. You'll be all dead tomorrow night. Merry Xmas, Lego Santa Crab.
P.S. Check out my other cool pics. I rock. You don't. Ho Ho Ho. Ho.

有四張很可愛的圖片(底下另外還有三張)：樂高聖誕老人

[介紹二]

第二篇文章的標題是：
Laptop Sales Pass Desktops For the First Time Thanks to Netbooks
內容講的是像Eee pc 這種 netbook 大受歡迎，所以讓筆記型電腦(laptop)的銷售量已經超過桌上型電腦(desktop)了。還提到Acer已經超越Dell, 成為僅次於HP的公司…等等，有興趣可以看一下，文章很短，也不難。

不過，我想讓大家看的是那張聖誕老人的圖，它上面寫著：
Dammit, I can’t use these tiny elf computers.
(X的，我用不了這些精靈用的電腦啦！)
(指的就是Eee pc這種電腦鍵盤太小，所以聖誕老人的大手指就不好使了 XD )

聖誕老人的圖片

[介紹三]

不知道大家有沒有聽過一部卡通影片叫做霹靂貓，
裡面有一句很熟悉的台詞叫做：霹靂！霹靂！霹靂貓！

這兩天有朋友傳了一個很kuso的偽霹靂貓電影預告，
我才知道霹靂貓的英文叫做 thundercats
所以那句台詞也就應該改成：thunder,thunder,thundercats!

看一下影片，練一下聽力吧：

[介紹四]

如果你想知道今晚就是聖誕節了，還沒買禮物的美國人會買怎樣的禮物送給親朋好友，
那你不妨來看看這個網站：Gift.com 的 the last munite gifts

其中還蠻引起我興趣的是這個：Digital NikeID Gift Cards
NikeID是可以讓你做一雙自己挑選的鞋子，而這個禮物，就像是它介紹上面寫的：
Why we love it: The Nike Digital Gift Card will be received about an hour after it is sent. Now that's truly last minute.這個禮物會在你購買後一個小時左右以電子卡片的方式寄給對方，我猜裡頭大概有一組帳號密碼，可以讓你上到NikeID的網站上去獲得一雙自製的鞋子。果真是last munite gift啊!

[介紹五]

這期算是聖誕特刊囉，一口氣給大家介紹了五篇呢！
最後給大家挑一些電子賀卡，
就算是沒寄禮物，也可以寄張電子賀卡給你的好朋友喔！

這邊還有幾篇聖誕節的詩篇：

A Christmas Romance Wish

Keeping You Warm Inside

A Christmas Gift

A Christmas Wish

A Holiday Season With You

A Special Christmas

Christmas Season Love

Every Day Is Christmas

This Year

Christmas Spirit

Just Listen To Your Heart

最後，還是希望大家佳節愉快！

第44期商周2009年投資建議 & 聖誕歌曲

2008-12-21T19:43:00.001+08:00

[月亮傑克話家常]

今天去跑安泰ING 的 FUN RUN 3K
很多人！
的確是個嘉年華會，完全不像在跑3公里，
跑完也沒覺得有3公里那麼長，
朋友說大概是因為前面人多的時候走了一段，
快到終點的時候，又因為大家都停下來了又走了一段，
總之，如果想感受路跑的感覺，還是至少要跑 9公里。
明年來挑戰9公里吧！

[文章出處]

這是BusinessWeek對投資人做出的2009年投資建議：
Personal Finance: 20 Dos & Don'ts for 2009
http://www.businessweek.com/investing/content/dec2008/pi20081217_317510.htm?chan=investing_investing+index+page_top+stories

不知道BusinessWeek的文章存檔會存在多久，我另外做了一個備份：
有兩頁：
http://www.webcitation.org/5dEA5bmQ4
http://www.webcitation.org/5dEBpErHS

[文章內容]

我把這篇文章的20個標題摘錄出來：

1. Don't try to predict the future. 不要預測未來，股市是否繼續低靡或是要復甦仍是未知數，不要急於投入。

2. Do keep enough cash available.要保有可以動用的現金(一個成年人約需準備12,000美元或是6-9個月的開銷費用)，當有緊急狀況發生時，這些現金可以讓你不需要去變賣你的資產。

3. Do invest internationally. 要做國際性的投資。

4. Don't try to pick one winning investment. Diversify. 別把雞蛋放在同一個籃子裡。分散你的投資～

5. Do think about energy efficiency.這牽涉到一個法案，可以用居家用品或是能源器具方面的修護費用做抵扣稅務。詳細資料可以參考：Federal Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency

6. Don't stop contributing to 401(k) and other retirement accounts.不要停止繳納你的退休計畫帳戶：美國的401(k)是類似我們的國民年金

7. Do live below your means. Save.量入為出，盡量省錢。這裡提到有篇文章：教你25種省錢的方法 Twenty-Five Ways to Save More Each Month

8. Don't make sudden moves.別對你的投資做出巨大的改變：別被股市的震盪亂了分寸，有時候太過專注於一些風吹草動會讓人忘掉長遠的投資計畫。

9. Do pay off expensive debts.除了理財，更要理債。對於高利息的債務，應該要優先處理。

10. Don't give up on stocks. 最壞的時機總是跟隨著最好的機會，別放棄股市，做一些長期的投資計畫。

11. Do track your spending.了解你每一分錢的去向，這邊月亮傑克介紹一個好的小工具給大家：17saving

12. Don't pay high management fees 別支付過高的投資管理費用

13. Do review your credit reports.檢視你的信用狀況,要修補信用狀況的缺失都是需要時間，及早發現才能有更多時間去準備與實施。

14. Don't follow the herd.千萬別盲從！華倫巴菲特說："Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful," 別人貪婪你要恐懼，別人恐懼你要貪婪

15. Do write down an investing plan and budget, and stick to them.寫下你的投資計畫跟預算，並堅持到底。

16. Don't forgo necessary insurance.不要放棄必要的保障。

17. Do check out your financial adviser.要檢視你的理財專員，透過了解他的背景，經歷…等等，才能知道你是否找了一個值得信賴的人。

18. Don't invest in anything you don't understand.別把錢放在你不了解的投資商品，你的理財專員不見得都是為了你好，有時候可能只是為了較高的佣金。

19. Do make sure safe investments are actually safe.看似十分保險的投資，卻不一定真的保險，一定要再三確認。

20. Don't take more risk than you can handle.選擇自己能承受的風險程度！

聖誕節快到了，最近會陸續分享一些聖誕歌曲給大家

這首Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
前往 youtube觀看：http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=-8rY0Fyws20

歌詞：

from: http://www.lyrics007.com/Mariah%20Carey%20Lyrics/All%20I%20Want%20For%20Christmas%20Is%20You%20Lyrics.html

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Ooh baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is...
You

All I want for Christmas is you... baby (repeat and fade)

按下 Start the Quiz 開始測驗吧～

題目1: How long have dogs and humans shared a close relationship?
有三個答案讓你選：如果你選錯了，他底下有溫馨提示：

聖誕節快到了，最近會陸續分享一些聖誕歌曲給大家

這首是Britney Spears 的 My Only Wish
去年月亮傑克在韓國濟州島過聖誕節的時候到處都聽到這首歌
雖然歌詞的意境不是很快樂，
因為他寫的是聖誕節了，他卻單身，看到別人成雙成對，非常羨慕。
所以希望聖誕老人可以給他一個好男人。
不過這首歌的旋律卻是蠻符合這個節日的，
好歌一首！

歌詞：

Last night I took a walk in the snow.
Couples holding hands, places to go
Seems like everyone but me is in love.
Santa can you hear me
I signed my letter that I sealed with a kiss
I sent it off
It just said this
I know exactly what I want this year.
Santa can you hear me.
I want my baby (baby, yeah)
I want someone to love me someone to hold me.
Maybe (maybe, maybe maybe.) he'll be all my own in a big red bow
Santa can you hear me?
I have been so good this year and all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want, just for me underneath my christmas tree
I'll be waiting here.
Santa thats my only wish this year.
oohhh ohh yeah
Christmas Eve I just can't sleep
Would I be wrong for taking a peek?
Cause I heard that your coming to town
Santa can you hear me? (yea yeah)
Really hope that your on your way
With something special for me in your sleigh
Ohh please make my wish come true
Santa can you hear me
I want my baby (baby)
I want someone to love me someone to hold me
Maybe (maybe maybe) we'll be all the love under the mistletoe
Santa can you hear me
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want just for me
Underneath my christmas tree
I'll be waiting here santa thats my only wish this year
I hope my letter reaches you in time
Bring me love can call all mine
(yeah yeah) cause I have been so good this year.
Can't be alone under the mistletoe
He's all want and a big red bow
Santa can you hear me (hear me?)
I have been so good this year
And all i want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want. just for me
Underneath my christmas tree
I'll be waiting here (ohh yeah) santa thats my only wish this year
Oh santa can u hear me? oh santa
Well hes all I want just for me underneath my Christmas tree

why I fired my secretary

Two weeks ago was my forty-fifth birthday, and
兩個禮拜前是我四十五歲的生日，

I wasn't feeling too hot that morning anyway.
那天早上我的心情還不錯。

I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say
我想說吃早餐的時候，我老婆一定會高興的跟我說

"Happy Birthday," and probably have a present for me.
" 生日快樂"，搞不好還會準備一個禮物送我呢！

She didn't even say "Good Morning," alone any "Happy Birthday."
結果她不但沒有跟我說"生日快樂"，就連"早安"也沒一句。

I thought, "Well, that's wives for you. Maybe the children will remember."
我想，"算了，老婆就是這樣。可能小孩會記得吧。"

The children came in to breakfast and didn't say a word.
結果小孩來吃早餐的時候，也是什麼都沒說。

When I started to the office I was feeling pretty low and despondent.
等我到公司的時候，我已經覺得滿沮喪的了。

As I walked into my office, my secretary, Janet, said,
當我要走進辦公室的時候，我的秘書，珍娜，對我說，

"Good morning boss, Happy Birthday."
" 早安阿~~老闆，生日快樂。"

And I felt a little better; someone had remembered.
我頓時覺得好一點；至少還有人記得。

I worked until noon . Then Janet knocked on my door and sa id,
工作到了中午，珍娜敲敲我的門，說，

"You know, it's such a beautiful day outside and it's your birthday,
let's go to lunch, just you and me."
''你知道嗎？今天天氣不錯，而且又是你的生日，不如到外面用餐吧，就我跟你。"

I said, "That's the best thing I've heard all day. Let's go."
我說，"那是我今天聽到最好聽的話，走吧！"

We went to lunch. We didn't go where we normally go;
我們沒有到我們平常用餐的地方；

we went out into the country to a little private place.
反而去了郊外一個比較私人的地方。

We had two martinis and en jo yed lunch tremendously.
我們點了兩杯馬丁尼好好的享受這頓午餐。

On the way back to the office, she said, "You know, it's such a beautiful day.
在回去的路上，她說，"今天真的是美好的一天。

We don't need to go back to the office, do we?"
我想我們不一定要回去公司吧？"

I said, "No, I guess not." She said, "Let's go to my apartment."
我說，"我想不用吧。" 她說，"那不如去我家吧。"

After arriving at her apartment she said, "Boss, if you don't mind,
到了她家之後，她說，"老闆，如果你不介意，

I think I'll go into the bedroom and slip into something more comfortable."
我想到房間換件比較舒服的衣服。"

"Sure," I excitedly replied. She went into the bedroom and,
" 當然，" 我興奮的說。於是她進去房間，

in about six minutes, she came out carrying a big birthday cake,
六分鐘之後，她拿了一個大生日蛋糕出來，

followed by my wife, children and dozens of our friends.
接著走出來的是我太太，小孩，以及一群朋友。

All were singing "Happy Birthday"
全部唱著 "生日快樂" 歌，

and there on the couch I sat... naked.
而我則坐在沙發上..............一絲不掛。

一個同樣是發行電子報的好友Daisy( Liebe)說「颱風天哪都不能去就來認真發報」，讓月亮傑克在這百年難得一見的冬颱來臨之際，發行了今天這份電子報。

讓我們還是談談颱風天吧～颱風天的時候，月亮傑克最愛懶洋洋的躺在床上看一部好的電影，可說是人生一大享受吧。(當然，這種是不一定要在颱風天做。笑)

如果你不知道要看什麼片子，月亮傑克來介紹你一部片子：第一武士。當然這是一部舊片了，這部談論亞瑟王、武士蘭斯洛與皇后關妮薇三角戀情的片子，有著月亮傑克喜歡的演員： Sean Connery , Richard Gere。更重要的，跟這份電子報有關係的，就是裡頭有著許多經典雋永的英文句子。讓我們來好好的品嘗一番吧～

電影佳句精選

角色介紹：

Arthur ：亞瑟王
Lancelot ：武士蘭斯洛
Guinevere：皇后關妮薇

斜體字表示月亮傑克覺得很值得細細品嘗的句子，為了不破壞句子的美感與深度，月亮傑克就不多做翻譯了～

Arthur :
God uses people like you, Lancelot.
Because your heart is open.
You hold nothing back.
You give all of yourself.
Lancelot :
If you knew me better, you would not say such things.
Arthur :
Oh, hey, I take the good with the bad, together.
I can't love people in slices.

Lancelot : Do you know how to win a sword fight?
John : How?
Lancelot : Be the only one with a sword!
這是電影一開始，Lancelot贏了一個大漢之後說的話。

Arthur :
Lancelot, just a thought.
A man who fears nothing is a man who loves nothing; and if you love nothing, what joy is there in your life?
I may be wrong.
即使是一個王，說話都是這麼的謙遜有禮^_^

Lancelot : I dare not kiss so lovely a lady. I have but one heart to lose.
古代把妹用語，講的真好。

Guinevere : If there is any honor in you, promise me never to do that again.
Lancelot : I don't know about honor. But I promise you, I won't kiss you again till you ask me to.
雖然是很沙文主義，但是還是忍不住要讚嘆這樣的男子氣魄

King Arthur : May God grant us the wisdom to discover right, the will to choose it, and the strength to make it endure.
好像是圓桌武士聚會時講的開場白，I may be wrong~

King Arthur : This is the heart of Camelot, not these stones, not these timbers, these palaces and towers. Burn them all and Camelot lives on, because it lives in us. Camelot is a belief that we hold in our hearts.
Camelot 是亞瑟建立的這個國度

King Arthur : What we hold to be right, and good, and true IS right and good and true for all men. Otherwise we're just another robber tribe.
很棒的堅持與理想～
注意關代：we到is前面的true都是用來修飾what

Guinevere : I want to marry you. Not your crown, not your army. Just you.
雖然，片中亞瑟跟關妮薇年齡實在差很多；當聽到這句話，月亮傑克還是很感動

King Arthur :
There's a peace only to be found on the other side of war.
If that war should come I will fight it!
果然有王者氣概～

King Arthur : I trusted you, loved you, and you betrayed me!
Lancelot : I never meant to hurt you, my lord.
King Arthur : You leave me nothing! Nothing!
姦情被發現了！！！
Arthur真的很不爽！

[額外補充]

Why Do We Need Friends

We need our friends for many reasons,
No matter what the day or season...

We need friends to comfort us when we are sad,
And to laugh with when we are glad!

We need friends to give us good advice,
Someone we can count on to treat us nice.

We need friends to remember us when we have passed
Sharing memories that will always last.

We need friends to help us solve our troubles
And to share good times so the joy is doubled!

That's why we need friends...
That's why I need YOU!

A place for my heart

I have this little box you see
I handle with great care.
It's a very special box for me
I keep my heart in there.

I let it out from time to time
It helps me learn to share.
I hope the lessons that it gives
Will teach me how to care.

I know that if I'm careful
About whom I give it to,
That I can learn my lessons
And also learn from you.

I hope that when you have it
Very careful you will be.
For my heart is very fragile
It's the biggest part of me.

So if I trust you with my heart
Please don't go astray.
I wouldn't want for us to part
My heart to put back away.

最近月亮傑克開始上健身房，不是為了減肥，不是為了練肌肉，只是為了健康。像月亮傑克這種整天坐在電腦前的人難免都會血液循環不好，大腦缺氧........。所以為了讓自己改善健康狀況，提昇工作效率(精神變好，比較不會打哈欠)，跑步的時候順便看Discovery練練英文聽力^o^，去健身房真的好處多多，希望大家都健康哦～

最近看到這樣的說法，月亮傑克覺得感同身受，跟大家分享一下：

中國人學英語，最常用的方法是背單字，甚至有人以能背出一本字典爲榮，但是字典上的解釋是死的，語言的運用卻是活的，機械的理解會造成很大的誤解。字典不是最重要的，關鍵在於語境。可以說，單字沒有多少實際運用的價值，機械記憶的單字量再大，也不會真正提高你的外語水準。要養成背誦句子的好習慣，因爲句子中既包含了發音規則，又有語法內容，還能表明某個字在具體語言環境中的特定含義。

記住一個好的句子，除了你可以修改它作延伸的意思讓你的表達能力更棒之外，也會讓人家覺得你說的英文是很道地的。背了一堆單字然後表達的語氣跟文法還是中文的語法，倒不如講幾句原汁原味的英文，您說是嗎？

大家好 ^_^
今天是April Fool's Day，大家要注意不要被唬的哭天搶地喔～
先來看一下這個節日的一些介紹：

April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day,holiday of uncertain origin, known for practical joking and celebrated on the first of April. Prior to the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1564, the date was observed as New Year's Day by cultures as varied as the Roman and the Hindu. The holiday is considered to be related to the festival of the vernal equinox, which occurs on Mar. 21. The English gave April Fool's Day its first widespread celebration during the 18th cent.

上個禮拜六，月亮傑克基於觀摩考察的心態參加了全民英檢的初級複試，也就是聽跟說的部分。
考場在台大，考試前發現有些父母特地交代要自己的小朋友注意自己的儀容，因為她們以為會有老師來進行面試之類的吧。不過事實上無須擔心太多，因為LTTC才沒有那麼多人力物力來給應試者一個一個考呢～

實際的考試是在語言中心的教室，每個應試者桌上會有錄音機，戴上耳機之後，透過麥克風把答案錄下來，之後那捲錄音帶就等於你的試卷，會被拿去批改分數。當然我對於錄音帶這種東西的品質很存疑(萬一卡帶之類的....)，但是這種方式比起月亮傑克之前去考Toeic那種沒有考口說的考試，我覺得對考生也是一種考驗，也可以考出程度。

考試內容，分成複誦(聽到什麼唸什麼)，朗讀(唸出試券上的句子跟短文)，回答問題

複誦，應該是很簡單：我記得的題目像是 Watch out! A car is coming ! 因為會唸兩次，所以第二次應該來確認一些文法的東西，像是 a car 或是 the car 這樣的東西

朗讀之前有一分鐘可以看，還蠻容易過關的，遇到不會唸的字盡量用自然拼音蒙混，這樣應該比不唸或是卡住要來的好。短文部分可以帶些感情，像是月亮傑克這次的短文是有人問路，然後被問路的人開始回答： You are looking for XXX Park? blablabla....，所以如果有融入那種情境，應該可以講的很順暢吧。

回答問題應該是有點難度的，不只是考你的英文程度，還考你的機智 ^^|||：
像是： Many students like to study english in 補習班(她是這樣唸沒錯). How do you like it? Please explain.
還有： What do you usually do when you can't sleep at night?
聽朋友說還有問過年紅包拿的多不多，怎麼花的問題。
總之平常要有用英文想事情的習慣，這種題目才比較好過關。

月亮傑克一般考試前都會強迫自己進入英文思考模式，像是出門前看英文電影，出門後到考試前全部講的話要用英文，唱英文歌....等等的。算是蠻怪的吧，哈哈！

I will dry your tears
When you are scared
I will comfort your fears
When you are worried

When you are confused
I will help you cope
and when you are lost
and can't see the light
I shall be your beacon
shining ever so bright
This is my oath
I pledge till the end
Why you may ask
because you're a friend.

In a friendship
We're free to expose,
Parts of ourselves
Nobody else knows.
But the thing that sustains it
And sets it apart,
Is not something spoken
It's a bond of the heart.
True friends are rare
In a lifetime two or three,
I'm so glad it happened
Between you and me!

Enraged, the young man sets out to hunt the bear himself when his other brother refuses to form a hunting party right away. In his hunt for vengeance, however, the young man is transformed by the spirits of the forest into the very thing he seeks to slay: a bear.

Seeing the world through a bear's eyes, the young man learns valuable lessons about the cycle of life, especially when he learns that his middle brother has finally formed a hunting party, aiming to kill all bears to avenge the brother's death--which means him, too.

[額外補充]

In life, everyone needsa
a person who cares about them...

Someone who believes in them...

And is there for them
when they are in a jam...

Someone they can laugh with...

And can trust with anything....

A person who will always
watch their back... .

And is there for them
when they are in a jam...

And is always by their side!

In my life, that person is you!

Thanks!

今晚是聖誕夜，月亮傑克祝大家聖誕節快樂！

Merry Xmas!

送大家一顆聖誕樹吧～ ^O^

[聖誕文章]

O Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How faithful are thy branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How faithful are thy branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Green not alone in summertime,
But in the winter's frost and rime;
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How faithful are they branches.

'Tis not alone in summer's sheen,
Its boughs are broad, it's leaves are green;
It blooms for us when wild winds blow,
And earth is white with feath'ry snow;
A voice tells all its boughs amoung
Of sheperds watch, and angel's song
Of holy babe in manger low,
The story of so long ago.

Have a Merry Christmas!

『It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts. 』從書中摘錄下來，中文譯為『一生活了多少歲月並不重要，重要的是這些歲月是否值得』，這句話告訴我們，活得長不長並不重要，活得有意義，才是重要！《此句話是Adlai Stevenson 所說，他是位政治家、外交家，於甘迺迪時代出任美國駐聯合國大使》

A letter to Santa

Snowflakes softly falling Upon your window they play Your blankets snug around you, Into sleep you drift away.

	I bend to gently kiss you, When I see that on the floor There's a letter, neatly written I wonder who it's for.

I quietly unfold it Making sure you're still asleep, It's a Christmas list for Santa One my heart will always keep.

	It started just as always With the toys seen on TV, A new watch for your father And a winter coat for me.

But as my eyes read on I could see that deep inside There were many things you wished for That your loving heart would hide.

	You asked if you friend Molly Could have another Dad; It seems her father hits her And it makes you very sad.

Then you asked dear Santa If the neighbor down the street Could find a job, that he might have Some food, and clothes, and heat.

	You saw a family on the news Whose house had blown away, "Dear Santa, send them just one thing, A place where they can stay."

"And Santa, those four cookies That I left you for a treat, Could you take them to the Children who have nothing else to eat."

	"Do you know that little bear The one I love so dear? I'm leaving it for you To take to Africa this year".

"And as you fly your reindeer On this night of Jesus' birth, Could your magic bring to everyone Goodwill and peace on earth".

	"There's one last thing before you go, So grateful I would be, If you'd smile at Baby Jesus In the manger by our tree."

I pulled the letter close to me I felt it melt my heart. Those tiny hands had written What no other could impart.

"And a little child shall lead them,"
Was whispered in my ear
As I watched you sleep on Christmas Eve
While Santa Claus was here.

之前有一期有關蔣宋美齡女士，裡頭有談到國內外報紙，對他的年齡寫的不一樣，月亮傑克找到這樣的說法：
國內報紙：根據宋家家族族譜，宋美齡出生於1897年3/23，所以是106歲
國外報紙：根據她自己在衛斯理唸書時填的資料，是1898年3/25，所以是105歲

看到雜誌上有個酒的廣告，廣告詞蠻有趣的跟大家分享：

How to Develop Yourself

by Anonymous

As long as you are still alive, you are capable of changing and growing. You can do anything you want to do, be anything you want to be. Listen to some positive thoughts on how to continue your self development and then apply them in your own life.
只要你還活著，就有繼續改變與成長的能力。你可以做你想做的事情，成為你想成為的人。多聽一些延伸自我發展的正面想法，並在你的生活中去實行。

Accept personal responsibility for your own growth; no one can do it for you. What you do today will determine your readiness for tomorrow.
Take time every day to do something for yourself.
Take classes to stay current in your field of expertise. The world is changing rapidly and you must learn to manage change to avoid obsolescence. The way Will Rogers put this was that "Even if you are on the right track, if you just sit there you will get run over."
Listen to cassette tapes on personal and professional growth topics.
Never look back to the past-you only can control your actions in this instant, so what should you be doing right now?
Learn from "other people's experience" rather then having to try everything for yourself. It shortens the time needed to learn.
Dealing with a problem helps you learn patience and strengthens your management skills; it is good mental exercise.
Analyze, in a non-judgmental way, mistakes in which you were involved. It will help you to prevent these in the future.
Reward yourself when you catch yourself working on the most important priorities.
Never say something can't or won't be done. Keep looking for ways to do it.
After attending a seminar, report to your boss or other people in your organization, what the most important things are that you learned from the program.
For all learning experiences, whether it is reading, seeing, thinking or attending, apply the R squared, A squared formula: Recognize, Relate, Assimilate, and Apply. These actions will help you grow in the direction of your goals.
Eliminate one time waster a week from your life.
Read a minimum of one chapter of a book a day.
Read a minimum of one book a month.
Be hungry for what life has to offer and go for it.
Decide what you really desire to do-then do it.
When you have the option of reading a book or listening to the cassette tape version of the program, listen to the tape. It will be more to the point and can be done while you are driving, jogging/walking, or getting other routine things done.
Develop a "master mind" group of four or five people with whom you can openly discuss ideas in a nonjudgmental way.
Develop yourself as a resource for others by networking. Find out who does what, when, and for whom. You may find excellent contacts for your future needs and for the needs of others you meet.
Work for balance in your life goals: family, financial, professional, social, spiritual, recreational.
Always keep your goals in mind as you start a new activity.
If you do a lot of work with the calculator, run the machine with the hand you don't use for writing.
Do not be afraid of failing at something. You can learn and change as a result of it.
The most difficult projects are opportunities for your biggest successes just as the most difficult people could become your strongest allies.
Put up pictures of your dreams and goals where you will see them frequently. They will remind you and aid you in focusing and visualizing your goal.
We all have the same 24 hours in a day. Learn from those people who get more done than you do. Perhaps you can find a way to improve what you are doing.
Find a nonjudgmental mentor who will help you by providing feedback, suggestions, challenges and support.
Identify some "models" and observe their style and actions. Do not copy them but learn from their experiences.
Learn from the errors you see others make as well as from their successes.
Fill your mind with positive ideas, thoughts and inspirations and you will have no room left for the negative.
Trade jobs with someone so you gain additional experience.
Ask for and accept lateral moves in the organization so you learn more about the entire operation.
Do more than your "self doubts" say you can.
Have confidence that you can get through and learn from anything and everything you experience.
Reward yourself with a treat when you have completed a learning objective.
Keep a daily journal, recording your thoughts, ideas, feelings and personal growth progress.
Ask questions, listen, then ask more questions. You will learn as well as help others learn.
Ask yourself, "How can I manipulate my fate?"
Do things with someone you respect. They will be supportive of you and you will learn from interacting with them.
Seek new information on projects for which you have responsibility. Look for new "ah ha" ideas all the time.
Challenge yourself to learn something new every day.
Remain flexible and constantly adaptable.
Be open to others and sincerely interested in them. You can learn from everyone you meet.
Mentally rehearse a new skill. Your subconscious does not know the difference between actual practice and mental rehearsal.
Keep a record of what you accomplished the previous day(s)/week. If you did not accomplish as much as you wanted, it gives you extra incentive to do better in the next time period.
Make notes of the questions you want answered. Then as the answers come to you, jot them down next to the question.
Work on overcoming personal, nonproductive habits; for example: overeating, smoking, gossip.
Keep an "Idea File" ring binder or notebook in which you record all new ideas. At least once a week in a standing appointment with yourself, review your ideas.

Two weeks ago was my forty-fifth birthday, and
兩個禮拜前是我四十五歲的生日，
I wasn't feeling too hot that morning anyway.
那天早上我的心情還不錯。
I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and say
我想說吃早餐的時候，我老婆一定會高興的跟我說
"Happy Birthday," and probably have a present for me.
"生日快樂"，搞不好還會準備一個禮物送我呢！
She didn't even say "Good Morning," alone any "Happy Birthday."
結果她不但沒有跟我說"生日快樂"，就連"早安"也沒一句。
I thought, "Well, that's wives for you. Maybe the children will remember."
我想，"算了，老婆就是這樣。可能小孩會記得吧。"
The children came in to breakfast and didn't say a word.
結果小孩來吃早餐的時候，也是什麼都沒說。
When I started to the office I was feeling pretty low and despondent.
等我到公司的時候，我已經覺得滿沮喪的了。
As I walked into my office, my secretary, Janet, said,
當我要走進辦公室的時候，我的秘書，珍娜，對我說，
"Good morning boss, Happy Birthday."
"早安阿~~老闆，生日快樂。"
And I felt a little better; someone had remembered.
我頓時覺得好一點；至少還有人記得。
I worked until noon. Then Janet knocked on my door and sa id,
工作到了中午，珍娜敲敲我的門，說，
"You know, it's such a beautiful day outside and it's your birthday, let's go to lunch, just you and me."
''你知道嗎？今天天氣不錯，而且又是你的生日，不如到外面用餐吧，就我跟你。"
I said, "That's the best thing I've heard all day. Let's go."
我說，"那是我今天聽到最好聽的話，走吧！"
We went to lunch. We didn't go where we normally go;
我們沒有到我們平常用餐的地方；
we went out into the country to a little private place.
反而去了郊外一個比較私人的地方。
We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously.
我們點了兩杯馬丁尼好好的享受這頓午餐。
On the way back to the office, she said, "You know, it's such a beautiful day.
在回去的路上，她說，"今天真的是美好的一天。
We don't need to go back to the office, do we?"
我想我們不一定要回去公司吧？"
I said, "No, I guess not." She said, "Let's go to my apartment."
我說，"我想不用吧。" 她說，"那不如去我家吧。"
After arriving at her apartment she said, "Boss, if you don't mind,
到了她家之後，她說，"老闆，如果你不介意，
I think I'll go into the bedroom and slip into something more comfortable."
我想到房間換件比較舒服的衣服。"
"Sure," I excitedly replied. She went into the bedroom and,
"當然，" 我興奮的說。於是她進去房間，
in about six minutes, she came out carrying a big birthday cake,
六分鐘之後，她拿了一個大生日蛋糕出來，
followed by my wife, children and dozens of our friends.
接著走出來的是我太太，小孩，以及一群朋友。
All were singing "Happy Birthday"

全部唱著 "生日快樂" 歌，

and there on the couch I sat... naked.
而我則坐在沙發上..............一絲不掛。

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip.

You don't have to actually answer the questions.
你不需要去回答下列的問題

Just read the e-mail straight through,
只要讀完這封email

and you'll get the point.
你就會知道重點是什麼

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
寫出5個世界上最有錢的人名

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
寫出最近5個得到Heisman trophy的人名
(月亮傑克按：Heisman 原來是 NCAA 裏一個非常有名的教練，他曾在紐約市及 Georgia Tech 學校擔任教練一職，他輝煌的戰績讓人們在他死後用他的名字設立了一個獎項，也就是 Heisman Trophy，這是 NCAA 的最高榮譽之一，每年頒給一位最有價值的球員，所以 Heisman Trophy 會獎落誰家也是老美茶餘飯後非常熱門的話題 )

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.
寫出最近5個得到美國小姐的人名

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
寫出最近10個得到諾貝爾獎或是普立茲獎的人名

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.
寫出最近6個得到奧斯卡金像獎最佳男女主角的人名

How did you do? 你會怎麼做

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies. Awards tarnish.
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
列出求學階段曾幫助過你的老師

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
寫下在你困難的時候幫助過你的朋友名字。

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
寫下五個教導你一些有價值的事情的人名

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
寫下幾個你覺得他們是值得感激或是對你而言很特別的人名。

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
寫下五個你喜歡跟他們相處的人名

6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.
寫下六個你曾經從他們的事蹟中獲益的偉人名字

Easier? 簡單多了吧？

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money,
or the most awards.
They are the ones that care.

Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia." -Charles Schultz

感恩節剛過，我們來看一首關於感恩節的詩吧！

Music

When all the leaves are off the boughs,
And nuts and apples gathered in,
And cornstalks waiting for the cows,
And pumpkins safe in barn and bin,
Then Mother says, "My children dear,
The fields are brown, and autumn flies;
Thanksgiving Day is very near,
And we must make thanksgiving pies!"

Song : Right Here Waiting

[歌詞]

RIGHT HERE WAITING

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' CrAzY

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' cRaZy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

You Are My Friend

When you are sad,
I will dry your tears.
When you are scared,
I will comfort your fears.
When you are worried,
I will give you hope.
When you are confused,
I will help you cope.
And when you are lost,
And can't see the light.
I shall be your beacon
Shining ever so bright.
This is my oath.
I pledge till the end.
Why you may ask?
Because you're my friend.
