    jasmine.kag 发布于 2008-06-24 14:22:01

    She used to be my only enemy
    and never let me free
    Catching me in places that I know I shouldn't be
    Every other day I crossed the line
    I didn't mean to be so bad
    I never thought you would
    Become the friend I never had

    Back then I didn't know why
    Why you were misunderstood
    So now I see through your eyes
    All that you did was love
    Mama I love you, Mama I care
    Mama I love you, Mama my friend
    My friend

    I didn't want to hear it then
    But I'm not ashamed to say it now
    Every little thing you said and did was right for me
    I had a lot of time to think about
    About the way I used to be
    Never had a sense of my responsibility

    But now I'm sure I know why
    Why you were misunderstood
    So now I see through your eyes
    All I can give you is love
    Mama I love you, Mama I care
    Mama I love you, Mama my friend
    My friend

    她曾是我唯一的敌人
    从不让我自由
    将我拘禁在不属於我的地方
    每几天我就犯错
    我其实不是故意使坏
    我没想到你会
    成为我的好友

    回想当时
    我不知道为何你会受到误解
    如今,透过你的双眼
    你所做的一切都是爱
    妈妈,我爱你,我在乎你
    我爱你,你是我的朋友


    当时我听不进去
    但现在我可以面无愧色的说
    你所说、所做的每件事,都是为我好
    我有很多时间思考
    过去的所作所为
    可说是毫无责任感

    现在,我终於明白
    当时你为何会被误解
    如今,透过你的双眼
    我能给你的,只有爱
    妈妈,我爱你,我在乎你
    我爱你,你是我的朋友

  • 充实你的思想

    realhero 发布于 2008-06-09 10:24:20

    Since the pre-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger, shelter or search for a mate, he has always manipulated the circumstances to the best of his advantages. Probably this might be the reason why we human are the most developed of all living species on the earth, and probably also in the universe. As we climbed the steps of evolution with giant leaps, we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking — we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of times.

    自史前时代起,人类就已有满足自己需求的强烈欲望。无论是饥饿、避难或寻觅配偶,人类总是操纵着环境使其达到最利于自己的状态。这或许解答了为什么人类是地球上甚至是宇宙中最高级的现存物种。然而在进化的阶梯上取得巨大飞跃之时,我们却不知何故将一些常识和逻辑思维抛诸脑后了——我们忘记了自己已经停止了超前思维。




    If you are hungry, what do you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such absurd things. So it silently began to heed to your needs and never let itself grow. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can't I think?", "Why am I always given the difficult problems?" Well this is the aftermath of our own karma of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.

    如果你饿了,你会怎么做?抓起你最喜爱的美食饱餐一顿,然后静静地呆在那里?而你的大脑也像你的胃,是会感到饥饿的,但它却从不让你知道,因为你让它一直想着你的梦中情人、你最喜爱的明星和许多诸如此类的荒唐事。因此它只是默默地留意着你的需要却从不让自己成长。当思维恣意成长时,创造力就嘎然而止。这也许就是为什么我们有时会想“下一步该如何”、“为什么我想不到?”、“为什么我总是碰到难题?”的原因吧。这也是我们的大脑总在考虑那些毫无价值的事情产生的后果。

    Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading. Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to take help of reading. You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your “How to?” questions. Once you read a book, you just don't run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. More the number of books you read, your mind will open up like never before. Also this improves your oratory skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. Within no time you start speaking English or any language fluently with your friends or other people and you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.

    事实上,思维的饥荒可以通过广泛的阅读来满足。为什么是阅读而不是选择看电视呢?因为自孩提时代起,读书就已经是最具教育性的工具了。正如人生发展的其他方面一样,我们不得不求助于阅读。世界上有无数书籍可以回答你“如何做”的问题。读书时不仅要用眼睛浏览文字,还要用脑去解读、诠释。书中有趣的部分就会像种子一样贮存在你的脑海里。将来你会不自觉地运用这粒种子引发新的想法。多次运用这粒种子将有助于你把许多事情联系起来,即使你做梦都想不到这些!这不是别的,就是创造力!你读的书越多,你的心智就会前所未有地开阔。而且这还会大幅度地提高你的演讲能力、丰富你的词汇量。你很快就能用流利的英语或别的语言与你的朋友或别人交谈,而且你再也不会在适合的场合缺少适合的词语。



    Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly. I am still on the path of improvement to quench my thirst for satisfaction. So guys do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you waiting for? Go, grab a book, and let me know!

    实际上,我的英语还是不够流利,但只要我阅读,我就会取得显著进步。现在我仍在“自我提高”、为头脑“解渴”的长路上跋涉。请加入到我的行列吧!通过阅读、阅读、再阅读来为你的思想“喂食”。你还在等什么?现在就拿起一本书让我瞧瞧!

  • 人一生的爱

    tffsuny 发布于 2008-03-29 19:49:02

     

     

    It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

    A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

    The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

    It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

    It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

    Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

    Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

    A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.

    The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

    Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

  • just some advices on english learning

    ydzeng 发布于 2008-03-29 11:01:16

    Many people are seeking a better way to learn English, some seem to have found and are working on a right track, while some are not so fortunate… which side you are on, maybe what I am talking about here could be a little helpful to you.

     

    1, Don’t translate. As I know many Chinese students have made it a practice to translate what he wanna say into Chinese and then English, frequently translating between these two languages, so that we can easily tell that s/he is speaking Chinglish. But we can change it. The best way to speak real English is firstly to learn to think in English, even using the simplest English sentences. The other day I came across a bilingual German who speaks very good English in a blog community. When I asked her how she did it, she told me that she thinks even dreams in English. Wow, that sounds so reasonable and feasible, isn’t it?

     

    2, Try to imagine. When we are memorizing a new word, try not to memorize how it’s written in Chinese, but to imagine the image the word refers to. We should immediately have an image of the corresponding object, when we see a noun, the image of the action when we see a verb. So that we build up a better relation between words and real life from which we can benefit a lot in expressing our ideas.
