March 27 天宝语录(二十七)以暴制暴天宝早晨赖床,我软硬兼施,均告无效。最终,我前所未有地恐吓他道:
“你要是再不起床,我就打电话给吴振宇,把你的钢琴送给吴振宇,那么多车车也送给吴振宇,还有大电视也抬到他家去!”(注:吴振宇是邻居家的小朋友,和天宝一样大。)
天宝立刻起床,动作飞快,接下来吃饭、洗脸、出门等一系列程序都非常合作,一点也不讨价还价。
我正在暗自得意,心想,要到我那本发展心理学里面去找找这一招的理论依据。
谁知后来去幼儿园的路上,天宝拉拉我,仰起小脸,看着我,咬牙切齿地说:“我要去砸了吴振宇家!”
我:“……” March 23 Canon 卡农与电影偏爱收电影原声音乐CD,因为既喜欢电影又喜欢音乐,听的过程中仿佛重温电影一般,看电影时的感觉又回来弥漫开了。
有个朋友只听古典乐,总觉得听电影音乐找不到感觉。不过我要求没那么高,好听就可以。我是杂食动物,而且不喜欢精而窄,喜欢浅薄的泛泛而听。
以前有一张此类CD,若干次搬迁的过程中丢了,里面有我喜欢的Legends of the Fall。总以为它还在那里,还静静地躺在什么地方的什么角落里,等我发现的时候恐怕已经不见了许久了。我在家里翻箱倒柜地找,失望,再找,绝望,然后在店里和网上蓄意找了好久,再也买不到了。那种遗憾和无奈不是一句话说得清的。
最近买的一张电影原声里面,发现了Canon。
Canon又称Kanon,是一种复调曲式的名称,就是不停重复同一段乐曲。同样的几小节回旋往复,巧妙融合,天衣无缝,令人感到深情缠绵,而不觉厌烦。很多作曲家都写过,贝多芬的《命运》里面也有。
以前听过类似的曲子,不过加了个名字,叫做Lingers,也算贴切。收在MP3里面,百听不厌,还冒险推荐给号称只听古典乐的人。这次买的CD里面,听到熟悉的曲调,一下子怔住。
查了查CD的说明书,是个1980年的老电影Ordinary People里面的。就在网上搜了一下,发现这并不是Canon最早出现在电影里。不过Canon因为在这部片子里出现而广为人知倒是真的。这首曲子的作者是Johann Pachelbel,全名是Canon and Gigue in D major for 3 violins and Basso Continuo(D大调为三把小提琴和巴松管创作的卡农和吉格),是最著名的Canon之一,作于1680年左右,300年后仍魅力不减。
(点下面的图片可以听Pachelbel's Canon,很短,只有1分钟,不过足够找到感觉了。) 转一个Canon用于影视配乐的年表:

我们男人总是听女人制订的规则,而以下就是我们男人的规则。
1 Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for。
有困难时,除非你们需要人帮忙解决,否则不要来找我们。我们就是帮你解决问题的。如果为了博取同情,请去找你们的女朋友。
2 Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we。
哥伦布不需要有人给他指点航行方向,我们也不需要。(我们男人开车的时候,你们女人最好不要乱指方向。)
3 You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself。
你们女人可以请我们做事或者告诉我们该怎么做。但是你们不能在求我们做事的同时还要告诉我们该如何做。如果你们已经知道怎么做最好,那么就请你们自己做吧。
4 If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle。
如果我们问你们怎么了,而你们说“没事”,那我们只能装作没事一样。我们不是不知道你们在说谎,只是觉得不值得为此小题大做而已。
5 If you ask a question you don't want an answer to; expect an answer you do not want to hear。
如果你们女人问我们一个不想知道答案的问题,那么请做好去听你不想听到的答案的心理准备。
6 If you think you are fat, you probably are. Do not ask us。
如果你们女人觉得自己胖,那么你大概就是胖。不要来问我们。
7 Most guys own three pairs of shoes--tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
我们男人大多只拥有三双鞋——这很好。难道你们女人会以为我们男人善于从30双鞋子中挑出与你们的衣服相配的那一双吗?
8 Shopping is not a sport, and no, we are never going to think of it that way。
逛街购物不是做运动,永远都不是。男人永远不会将二者等同看待。
9 BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you。
啤酒之于我们就像手提包之于你们,会令人兴奋异常。
10 Thank you for reading this. Yes. I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know, it's like camping。
谢谢你们女人看完上述条目。是的,我知道今晚我得睡沙发,但是你知道么,睡沙发的滋味犹如露营(我根本不在乎)。 What Women Say and What They Mean 女人的弦外之音(转) If you (men) have a good knowledge of these WORDS WOMEN USE, you have a better than average chance of actually surviving a negative encounter.
如果男人能很好地掌握这些“女士用语”,那么就会有更大的把握化险为夷。
1 FINE:很好
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
争吵中,如果女人说了这个词,就意味着她觉得自己很对,你该闭嘴了。
2 FIVE MINUTES:5分钟
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
女人换衣服时,5分钟相当于半小时。如果她给你5分钟的时间看球赛然后帮她整理房间的时候,那么5分钟就是5分钟而已。
3 NOTHING:没什么
This means "something", and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine".
没什么意味着“有什么”,而且麻烦大了,所以你要保持警觉。女人说“没什么”的时候通常是在想怎么来来回回折腾你。“没什么”一般表示一场争论要持续“五分钟”,还会以“很好”作为结束。
4 GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows):往下说(同时挑起眉毛)
This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine".
这意味着一种挑战。女人说这话时会因为“没什么”而心烦意乱,然后再以“很好”这个词来结束对话。
5 GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows):往下说(同时表情正常)
This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care". You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.
这意味着“我不管了”或者“想干什么就干吧,我可不在意”。然而数分钟后,你就会听到“挑起眉毛的‘往下说’”,紧接着是“没什么”和“很好”,而且她会和你谈大概“五分钟”的时间,直到她冷静下来。
6 LOUD SIGH:大声叹息
This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "loud sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here arguing with you over "Nothing".
这不是一句话,而是非言辞的一种表达,它常被男人误解。女人大声叹息意味着她认为那一刻的你实在是一个白痴,而且不明白自己为什么浪费了这么多时间站在这里来跟你争论一些“没什么”的事情。
7 THAT'S OKAY:还好
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.
女人对男人所能说出的最危险的话之一就是that's okay。“还好”意味着她在报复你所做过的事之前要好好地想上一段时间。从某种程度上来说,你很快就会碰到非常大的麻烦了。
8 PLEASE DO:请这样
This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay".
这不是普通的陈述,而是一个提议。女人说这句话的目的其实是给男人一个为其所作所为找个借口或理由的机会。你也可以说实话,但得小心谨慎,这样就不会听到"That's Okey".
9 THANKS:谢谢
A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say "you're welcome".
女人对你说谢谢的时候,别犯晕,说一声“不客气”就可以了。
10 THANKS A LOT:多谢
This is much different from "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticking off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh". Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh" as she will only tell you "Nothing".
这句“多谢”大大有别于“谢谢”。当女人其实在责备你时,她会说:“多谢”。这表明你已经无情地触犯了她,接下来,你会听到“大声的叹息”。注意不要在女人“大声叹息”之后关怀她,因为她只会以“没什么”来回应你。 March 03 大杯子 小杯子以前读到过一个空杯论道的故事:
有人向日本高僧南隐问禅,高僧给客人倒了一杯茶。
他不停地将水注入茶杯,倒满了也不停手。
客人急呼:“满了!不能再倒了!”
高僧慢条斯理地说:“你的脑子就像这个杯子,里面装满了水,如果不先倒空,怎么能再倒新的茶进去呢?”
我最近将以往喝茶的Pooh熊大杯换成了立顿的赠品小彩虹杯,不过我离禅悟的境界还差得远。
大杯子容量大,加一次水可喝较长时间。小杯子加一次水,两口就喝完,可以逼着我常常从电脑前起身去加水,被迫增加活动量。
可是……You know,人生往往是充满意外的。
换用小杯子之后,我照旧保持原先用大杯子喝水的频率,并没有增加起身加水的次数。
如此一来,大杯换小杯的后果就是,我喝水的总量大为下降,与杯子的容积成正比。
由此可见,懒就是懒,换杯子是改不掉坏习惯的,对于强制性措施,人总会屈从于习惯而作出抵制的行为。所以,还要继续开发新方法。 |
