旧剧杂谈1 [
27 1 07
]
花了很多时间心血写了很多关于一些旧剧的介绍。

都是别人没写过经典旧剧。起码4,5部。

妈的该死的电脑,突然一下就全没了。

欲哭无泪!!!!!!

我忍。。。。

只能凭回忆补一下,一边写一边保存草稿!!

0. 学习

这学期的事情,列了一下清单,唯一想说的就是mamamiya.

这个不写出来也罢,不然实在是刺眼啊。

时不我待,可能很快就要开始B计划了:

白天都泡图书馆,晚上回家就纯休息。

休息的内容主要以看电视为主,应该已经可以排到2008年了,哈。

1. Stewart Slams and Colbert Clips

来到英国之后不能用BT,下不到TDS,别提有多郁闷了。

一直就只能在youtube之類的地方断断续续地看一些更新。

没想到這兩天居然在网上找到這兩個link:

http://www.stewartslams.com/

http://www.colbertclips.com/

太赞了,以后每天都有挺清晰的足本TDS看了。

就算有一天放弃了所有的电视,The Daily Show也是我一定要保留的内容。

每天看Jon Stewart是了解天下大事最最最fun的方式,英文也很难很updated很快。

Colbert有了自己的show,还没有怎么看过。

但就他原来在Daily Show的表现,Colbert Report也是绝对值得期待的。


2. TESCO DVD Rental

意外发现Natwest每月给的利息还不低。

立马想起犹豫了几个月的租DVD的想法。

去Blockbuster咨询了一下失望而归,Durham的这间分店碟很少。

还好终于在网上找到了TESCO DVD Rental,价格差不多:

2 weeks free trial, 14 pound/month, 3 discs at a time, unlimited per month.

定了定了。每天刷新邮件几百遍,今天终于看到我选的第一批碟送出来了,yeah!!

to riki,

收到你的email,谈到最近看什么片子,我有list哦。

主要都是一些90年中早期开始的旧剧。



// my list:

- will & grace season 3-5


前两天去打印的时候打了WAG S3前五集的剧本。

这套剧一定要精看。

努力学好英文!!~~

哪天能完全裸看WAG,那就是境界啊。。。。。


- two and a half men season 2

在网上已经把中间两季都看完了。

真的很赞呢,不愧为目前最好的sitcom。

租碟是想要提取S2的字幕。

很想把S2-S3都翻掉,也算借刀杀人为我们自己人报仇,哈哈!!

真是居心不良啊~~~@.@

就是不知道有没有时间。



- Frasier Season 1-5

重点谈一下Frasier。很可惜Tesco只有前5季租。

本想让金凡这次从国内带DVD过来,不过搜了一下11季有近40张碟。=.=”

关于Frasier,一般评论界都会说该剧和Seinfeld都是比Friends更伟大的sitcom.

要说Seinfeld那偶是很肯定的,美国人眼里的Seinfeld是有非常卓然的地位的。

至于Frasier,可能很多人不会第一时间把它说为最伟大的sitcom。

但是1993年~2004年,整整11季,质量还是绝对~~~一流的。

不夸张的说,网上Frasier的视频只要有的基本上偶都看了个遍。

在此严重推荐几个撒:

1. Fraiser and Niles Underachievers

Frasier和Niles这两个活宝啊~~~!!!





2. Fraiser - Ham Radio Part1&2

××××××这两段ham radio实在太太太太太经典了!!!






 



Frasier的英文不容易,希望有英文字幕的帮助能够全看懂。



- Seinfeld season 3-9

很多人会比较不理解为什么Seinfeld会有这么高的评价。 

虽然偶也不晓得具体文化上的原因,但偶知道美国现在也还在重播ing。

這兩天看Daily Show居然也看到节目引用Seinfeld的桥段。

上次Matthew Fox上Saturday Night Live的时候和他搭档串场的是谁我忘了,

但反正那人是模仿Seinfeld里的Kramer.

偶个人对Seinfeld也还是很喜欢的,在国内有收ydy做的前两季的mkv双字幕版本。

应该说Seinfeld还是看得出味道的,很多人可能只是嫌片子太老。

英国这边网上可以看到全部9季,用工具都可以下载,保存为flv格式。也有不全的avi下载。

不过有时候要挂英文字幕,看起来真的很累,这两天看得眼睛充血直发痛。

还是租碟好了。









特别欢喜George,总是把事情screw up的他头头转的样子太搞了!!!! 





在此不得不提一句演Elaine的Julia Louis-Dreyfus。

同样是法国亿万富翁家的千金大小姐,人家怎么就那么有出息呢。

再看看Paris Hilton……..=.=||| 简直是一滩烂泥啊~~~ 

Julia Louis-Dreyfus现在有新show了~有空一定要关注下。


顺带再推荐一下Seinfeld编剧Larry David自编自演的Curb your enthusiasm

这套灰色幽默的comedy还比较对我胃口,没有The Office那么那么冰冷。

The Office看完每次都觉得很sad,实在看不下去。

小人物真实得也有点太miserable了:(。

Curb your enthusiasm就好很多,看的时候真是会giggle不止。

Larry在里面超衰的LOL。



- Spin City Season 1

Tesco只有一季,而且不知道什么原因还不能借。 

真的真的是很不错,将来很有兴趣把全部6季找来看全它。

偶手头只有9集,非常乐意推荐给所有有兴趣的朋友||__||。 

尽管real老大一直强调Michael J. Fox是他最喜歡的男演员之一。

偶还是要说Charlie Sheen偶也是非常喜欢滴。

Spin City换过男主角,两个都很棒。

只是真的没想到Michael J. Fox会这么年轻就得帕金森症。

youtube上他近期的访问,真是不忍心看哪。






- Little Britain Season 1-3

典型的英式幽默。

非典型的经典。

影射,嘲讽到没有boundary.

演员极有创造性的演技是超一流的!!!!

国内ydy做的前两季的字幕不错的!!






- Party of Five Season 1


倒是真的没想到会有这套剧借,虽然也是只有一季。

这套嘛….纯粹想看看Matthew Fox^^.


- Everybody Loves Raymond Season 2-9

这套就不介绍鸟。国内也都很熟的了^^!

A note about House M.D. [
21 1 07
]


今天看到一篇House S3的评论写得非常棒。

[剧评] Everything has changed——

House Season 3 Tritter线怨念总爆发

从1+1=100的荒谬中,走到1+1=-2的错误里。
          ——House Season 3 E11记


随着House那句“Nothing has changed(什么都没变)”,House M.D. Season 3的Tritter线总算是在一片咬牙切齿指桑骂槐哭天抢地中仓促收尾了。所有的人都大大地松了一口气——与其说是认同这句话,不如说是宁愿催眠自己,去相信这句话。
然而,当欢欣散去,理智归来,内心的疑惑与积累的阴霾就像Wilson在车站的眼神、Cuddy的谎言、Carmeron的拥抱、Chase的侧卧倒地的姿势和Forman的静默一样,随时随地遮住House的脸。
如果认真地重新问一句:
“Really?”
——很遗憾,显然的,在剧里,在剧外。
Everything has changed(什么都变了)。

(一)剧情——科幻片,还是肥皂剧,这是一个问题。
即使现在看来,House第三季的开头也足以称得上是欣欣向荣。House那常年徘徊于罢工与闹革命之间的蹄子居然复工了,这无论对于Cuddy、Wilson和小鸭们,还是对于观众,都是一件新鲜有趣的事情。大家都兴致勃勃地拭目以待,满以为House将以一种积极向上蓬勃乐观的态度重新出现在医院中作威作福——好吧,最起码我曾经是抱有这样不切实际的幻想的。
这样的繁荣——即使是后来证明是虚伪的——也足以蒙蔽我,让我以为第二季结尾所露出的那种江郎才尽的气味只是迫于季末的收视压力,对编剧重新燃起希望的火焰。
然而之后急转直下的剧情迅速证实了我的浅薄与幼稚。蹄子复工的希望在第二集就被残忍地掐断了,House变成了一块试验田,大家就改造的方向问题开始了无休止的拉锯活动。进入Tritter线以后,更是一发不可收拾,以爱因斯坦做小凳的精神不断以下一集证明上一集存在的合理性。
进入Tritter线的理由,对于剧情来说是决定性的——而其弱智程度也是绝对性的。然而与后面我将提到的事情相比,它实在是太无足轻重了(它居然都无足轻重了……),我只有用这小小的版面祝贺一下功成身退的Tritter先生,恭喜您幸运地降生在一部医务剧而不是律政剧里。
在警察同志颐气使指的催化下,编剧们开始大胆地忽略客观事实,并肆无忌惮地无视观众们的基本智力,科幻类病例层出不穷。类似植物人打了一针就站起来这种事情,已经是徘徊在理论的合理性边缘;而对于随意洗去他人记忆这种事情,除了瞠目结舌之外,真的不知道还能有怎样的反应。
另一方面,感情日益纷繁化,呈现出剪不断理还乱的趋势。诚然,没有人曾期待House是一个坚贞忠诚宜室宜家的好人,然而,更没有人期望House变成一个在若干个候选人中盲目乱撞的无头苍蝇。——编剧组的反复无常,把House的风流洒脱性感魅力一扫而空,沦落到漫无目的的疲于奔命中。
更糟糕的是,这一团乱麻的情感,在进入Tritter线之后,特别是最近的一两集里,俨然已经盖过了那日益超现实主义的诊断过程,成为主要矛盾了。这就像是让大坝崩溃的大决口,前面的所有不合理,与之一比,就像是无关痛痒的小缺口。

——我已不确定,我是不是正眼睁睁地,见证House变成GA的历程。

(二)主角——当House不再Housy
House M.D.与其说是一部剧情剧,不如说是一部人物剧。经过了第一季第二季,估计已经没有人会期待每集的第一个诊断是正确的——正如所有人看到40分钟左右的时候就知道正确的诊断已在不远处招摇一样。在这种无限重复的死循环中,是House医生凭借其不可阻挡的个人魅力吸引着观众.
然而,编剧们似乎全然没有认识到人物性格基本因素的稳定性对于人物是多么重要。在第三季一开始,就露出了要重新挖掘House性格的各种侧面的意向。更出人意料的是,它们不是挖掘了,而是——扭曲?颠覆?毁灭?——我至今没有确定,该用哪一个。
Housy。
这是复杂得令人着迷的一个词汇。它由自信、知识、理性、智慧、沉着与勇气、性感与幽默铸成;又不可避免地隐含了耍赖、偷懒、瘾君子的元素;在极正面和极负面共存的夹缝里,隐约地透出羞涩的人性来。
当那个身患癌症的光头小女孩走出医院;当House硬把小鸭子从晚宴上拖回来做诊断;当那根木拐杖,戳开了那所使Forman身染重病的房子的门……我们会心的笑。
——不但因为,看到人性探出头来的蛛丝蚂迹,而且因为,雾里看花水中望月的时候,总是最浪漫而可爱的。
然而编剧不满足于这低程度的人性演绎。
他们要让大家知道:
House没有长出三只眼睛,也没有在背上背起三对肯德基烤翅,更不会在头上绑上绕成圈的细铁丝出门。他是一个普通人。
所以,进入Tritter线,编剧们以脑袋被门夹住了的姿态,用最恶俗的方式,将人性从赤裸裸地拖到台面上来,清晰,甚至是细致入微地呈现出来,然后说:“看,这里是雀斑,这里是黑头,这里是青春痘。——不化妆的时候,大家都是一样的嘛。”就这样,
——House不再是个绅士。他在浴室的门口狠狠地刻薄Cuddy,让所有的心和那张沾满泪水的美丽的脸一起灰暗了下去。
——House不再是个君子。好吧,就算他曾使用肉体攻击的方式,也很人类地使用着工具(嗯,这就是身为瘸子少有的几个方面之处)。这一次,他很动物地,直接用拳头殴倒了Chase。希望,和那金发一起,一闪,跌落在地。
——House不再是个嘉友。那个啥,他以前即使是个损友,也总还称得上是个“甜蜜的负担”(殴)。在那辆机车的尾气也渐渐散去的时候,我的心已和Wilson的脸一样冷。而他倒在地上吐出来的绿色液体,就像是魔鬼托来的字句。
——最可怕的是,House不再是一个好医生。
他迟钝了,他迷茫了,他犹豫了——他出错了。
在不久之前,他为了得到一个病例可以牺牲10小时的门诊;现在,他拿他的病人的生命做筹码,赌一个失败率接近100%的赌。

当House不再Housy的时候,剩下了什么?
一个无奈的等式在我脑海里悲伤地徘徊:
House = vicodin?

(三)Friendship——没有你我怎么办。
House不是一个擅长与人类沟通的人。
Wilson是他唯一的朋友——而且是陈年老友。
朋友这种东西,一旦上了年头,就没法不衍生出依赖,变成了习惯,然后自己失去了一部分,容纳了对方的一部分;乃至,对方变成了自己的一部分,自己也变成了对方的一部分。
“唯一”表示这个部分的重要性,“陈年”表示这个部分的稳定性。
——Wilson是House这个无理数的常数部分。
在最开始的时候,Wilson就House的共同体,他的存在如此自然,以至于我甚至没有办法想象,真正没有了Wilson的House会是什么样子。
他了解House,认同House,无条件的包容House——只有Wilson的包容是无条件的。Cuddy容忍House是因为医院的利益;Carmeron纵容House是因为雌性激素爆发;Chase追随House多少是恋父(喂!)情节作祟;而Forman的无视有几分是愧于自身医术不精又有几分是迫于就业压力有待考证。
只有Wilson,是无条件的。
就算被欠了高额的霸王债,就算被占用了办公室,就算被独自扔在冬分凛冽的街口,就算被连累得差点丢了饭碗,就算帐户被冻结医疗执照被停用,Wilson还是会在圣诞节,用备用钥匙打开那扇关住了许多孤僻许多软弱的门,看看House是不是还过得好。
如果不是Wilson像空气一样无处不在,像大地一样承受能力无敌,像水一样无声地带走所有的污浊;House又怎能总是狼奔豕突横冲直撞,总是任意妄为所过之处遍地烂摊,总是随便找个角落把拐杖一支就开始嘲笑世人的苦难。
亚里士多德说:给我一个支点,我就能撑起地球。
人们往往把注意力集中在撑起地球,忽略了真正的要义,其实是那一个支点。
编剧用不断移动支点的方式来衡量House的软弱程度,最终用拿走支点的方式证实了House的无力。
如果他们不过是要表现出House的平凡渺小,他们的确做到了。然而观众坐在电视机前消耗那五十多分钟的生命难道只是为了观赏一个出色特别的人如何被整顿得平凡渺小么?!

唯一值得庆幸的是,编剧居然知道悬崖勒马——其实是过誉了,只算是在掉下了悬崖之后抓住了崖壁上旁逸斜出的一棵树。在Wilson失望地离开之后,House总算是在Vicondin和Wilson中向Wilson倾斜了,做出了主动去找Tritter这种看起来很不Housy,实际上与其说是经过理性思维不如说是本能驱使的事情。
然而破碎的瓷器是没有自动愈合功能的。以看收场的态势看,编剧组似乎是想无视这一段的裂痕,以敷衍塞责的态度将起模糊过去。这样的处理使Wilson这个人物作为人类的自尊问题受到质疑,更使Tritter线的各种波折和考验显得无聊愚蠢浪费时间消磨感情——最终证实了这实在是一条失败的支线。
希望编剧组能吸取这种惨痛的教训。在合理的范围内测试一下友谊的深浅可以作为House没有安全感令人心疼的小细节,然而这种震撼性的大动作则足以把House干脆地清除出正常的人类圈。

没有人能在这个痛苦的世界上独自挣扎——就算有止痛药也不行。
一个成功的男人背后,即使没有一个艰辛的女人,也总得有点其他什么默默付出的人。

(四)Relationships——不是我不明白,这个世界变化快。
House身边时常接触的固定人群,除去了Wilson之外,加起来也不过一只手就数得过来了。
我本以为这样的人际关系足够简单足够固定。
现在我发现革命形式是复杂多变的,未来永远不在预料之中。

1.制约
当Cuddy站在法庭上终于为House撒了谎的时候,有多少人正偷偷地在屏幕面前弹冠相庆?
这个谎,即使算不上Tritter线最大的败笔,也绝对能进入败笔Top 5。
Cuddy这个形象,是作为公正的制约而存在的。就像是墙,像是铁窗,像是保险丝,虽然有时觉得妨碍自由,却切守护着安全的。
关于其重要性,外可参考英国工业革命初期的圈地运动,内可回顾满清入关时期的跑马围地,为什么前者不抓着几只羊羔一路放养过去;后者不在广袤的中国大地上播种播到哪里算哪里?
因为人类确是需要有自己的“领域”,然后才会觉得安全的动物。
而现在,随着Cuddy的倒戈,这个领域毁灭了。
将来,当House一意孤行地向危险的地方进发的时候,该由谁来阻止狂躁的他?

另外,Cuddy这个形象也被推入了窘境。
要么,她变成另一个Carmeron;要么,她承受公报私怨的指责。
——进退两难。

2.团队
因为House的弱势化,团队里两名男性成员总算是得到了一点露脸的空间,这恐怕是Tritter线唯一的建树了。
然而,对于House不信任感的空前膨胀,女性成员(因为私人情感因素)和男性成员之间的分化,都成为了未来继续合作的阻力。这个团队要寻找一条新出路,还是要回到原先的状态来证实Tritter线的残废程度,不知道编剧组是不是也和我们一样迷茫。

(五)总结——潘多拉的盒子打开了,希望还没放出来。
Tritter线传递的最明确的信息,是编剧组已经不能满足——或者是收视率已经不能允许,以往House统领全剧的旧模式。
而Tritter线的失败,更让编剧组的走投无路束手无策在光天化日之下一览无余。
那句“Nothing has changed”现在看来,更像一句无力的否定和抗议。
House未来要怎么走下去?
我在伸手不见五指的地方,期待着黎明的鱼肚白。


================================================


My response:

“House变成了一块试验田,大家就改造的方向问题开始了无休止的拉锯活动。进入Tritter线以后,更是一发不可收拾,以爱因斯坦做小凳的精神不断以下一集证明上一集存在的合理性。

另一方面,感情日益纷繁化,呈现出剪不断理还乱的趋势。”

For this part, I couldn't agree more.
If nothing has changed, what's the point to bring it on in the first place?
Too many experiments in S3. It swings and wanders all the time.
lame or not?
Is it a need or an addiction?
Is he really detoxing or poping more vicodin?
Is the pain physical or mental?
Being arrogant or bend over?
I'm feeling tired about these mazes.:(

About Vicodin, it seems that the writers have written House into a corner.
Does Vicodin have to be such a huge issue to House???
Generally, S3 was a little over-bitter for me, sometimes I found it unnecessary.
For instance, I remember Cameron once asked Stacy about what kind of person House was before what happened to his leg.
If I wasn't wrong, Stacy's answer was,"Pretty much the same."
So...it wasn't the drug that made House who he is now. Thus I assume that House won't change through any detoxing or rehab at all. Otherwise there will be a huge contradictory.
But I guess the writers did once think about making some behavior or personality switches to House through the Tritter thing. This is sad.:( I'm glad they stopped.:P Hope they can go back to the previous stories sometimes and make the plots always coherent.

I look forward to see everything go back on track in the rest of the episodes!!!
In season 1&2, Those parallel stories developing on the both sides of the patient and House/Wilson/Cuddy/Ducklings are amazing, very well-framed.
Every episode is about one certain issue in our lives and the show explored these issues in both depth and width.
But for S3, I feel it's way too heavy to just hang around House/Wilson/Cuddy/Ducklings' side.
The writers could have put more of these diagnosis of human nature back onto the patients' side.

As for the relationship, I have to say that I will be very upset to see any House/Cameron things happen unless the writers can make Cameron a more interesting character first.
In fact, as I recall, David Shore once mentioned that he's not good at writing romance.
It does look so.
Cameron's story has been written very very inconsistently, a lot of her lines don't serve the development of her own character. and her sweetness often gets in the way of her being effective.
So far Cameron is not at the same level with House. Not even close.
Maybe it's just me...I still can't see any chemistry between them.
A date or a voluntary hug doesn't make big differences.
I could be wrong about this. But for me, House just doesn't see Cameron in that way.

My point is she'd better stay being House's duckling with Foreman and Chase.
I think this is also better for the show. Otherwise I can't imagine what will happen when the team is working together.
Is House supposed to be teasing or yelling at his girlfriend? calling her a moron? This is not the way House treats the love of his life, we've already seen that. He respects Stacy, called her sweet heart, hugged her on the terrace. That 100% sincere, honest, and real House is very sweet.
House/Cameron ship could jeopardise this.
Either House will become someone who is very rude and showing no respect to his lover, (There is no way for this not to look ugly.) or...the show will be less fun if House isn't making fun of his ducklings as much as he used to.
Basically I think I'm a House/No one shipper. Maybe Cuddy is fine. (Why so many people hate Stacy? House is sooo adorable when there was Stacy on the show. ha~:P)
anyway, the bottom line is like what LZ said, pls don't make House another GA.
We love Gregory House as who he is!!

// I didn't post the following stuff in the forum, coz I dun see the possibility of getting much positive response.

No need to look for arguement or upset. Let me just keep it to myself.


I love Stacy, what's more important is I love that House with Stacy around.

They both are smart and stubborn. There were so many sparkling moments between House/Stacy.

They're a match. But they can't own each other in this life.

"To Sherlock Holmes she is always 'the woman'. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex....” -- Arthur Conan Doyle, "A Scandal in Bohemia"

If House is Holmes, then Stacy is Irene Adler, the only woman who ever slipped under Holmes' seemingly impenetrable shield of Victorian-era deductive thought. Doyle wrote Irene as Holmes' intellectual peer, a worthy opponent; these qualities, combined with her femininity, distracted Holmes enough so she could accomplish her purpose and get away clean. She beat the Master at his own game, and he respected her for it.

It's the same with Stacy. She plays House's game of verbal cannonball shots and manipulation, and she's just as good as he is. Stacy is clearly House's prime heavyweight opponent in snark, and (like Irene with Holmes), she brings out a side of the character we've never seen before. (Stacy and House's jousting is less lighthearted than Adler/Holmes, because of their intimate history. But that may actually be an improvement over the original.)

我爱我伟大的祖国 [
21 1 07
]


作为一个中国人,生长在这个伟大的时代,是一件多么令人感到自豪的事情.

最新的新闻,令人热血沸腾啊. Are we cool or what!!!

随便转一篇CNN的。

U.S. official: Chinese test missile obliterates satellite

• Chinese use a missile to ram and destroy an old, orbiting satellite
• Experts: China now may have ability to knock out U.S. GPS and spy satellites
• Washington issues formal diplomatic protest

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- China last week successfully used a missile to destroy an orbiting satellite, U.S. government officials told CNN on Thursday, in a test that could undermine relations with the West and pose a threat to satellites important to the U.S. military.

According to a spokesman for the National Security Council, the ground-based, medium-range ballistic missile knocked an old Chinese weather satellite from its orbit about 537 miles above Earth. The missile carried a "kill vehicle" and destroyed the satellite by ramming it.

The test took place on January 11.

Aviation Week and Space Technology first reported the test: "Details emerging from space sources indicate that the Chinese Feng Yun 1C (FY-1C) polar orbit weather satellite launched in 1999 was attacked by an asat (anti-satellite) system launched from or near the Xichang Space Center."

A U.S. official, who would not agree to be identified, said the event was the first successful test of the missile after three failures.

The official said that U.S. "space tracking sensors" confirmed that the satellite is no longer in orbit and that the collision produced "hundreds of pieces of debris," that also are being tracked.

The United States logged a formal diplomatic protest.

"We are aware of it and we are concerned, and we made it known," White House spokesman Tony Snow said.

Several U.S. allies, including Canada and Australia, have also registered protests, and the Japanese government said it was worrisome.

"Naturally, we are concerned about it from the viewpoint of security as well as peaceful use of space," said Yashuhisa Shiozaki, chief cabinet secretary. He said Japan has asked the Chinese government for an explanation.

Britain has complained about lack of consultation before the test and potential damage from the debris it left behind, The Associated Press reported.

The United States has been able to bring down satellites with missiles since the mid-1980s, according to a history of ASAT programs posted on the Union of Concerned Scientists Web site. In its own test, the U.S. military knocked a satellite out of orbit in 1985.

Under a space policy authorized by President Bush in August, the United States asserts a right to "freedom of action in space" and says it will "deter others from either impeding those rights or developing capabilities intended to do so."

The policy includes the right to "deny, if necessary, adversaries the use of space capabilities hostile to U.S. national interests."

Low Earth-orbit satellites have become indispensable for U.S. military communications, GPS navigation for smart bombs and troops, and for real-time surveillance. The Chinese test highlights the satellites' vulnerability.

"If we, for instance, got into a conflict over Taiwan, one of the first things they'd probably do would be to shoot down all of our lower Earth-orbit spy satellites, putting out our eyes," said John Pike of globalsecurity.org, a Web site that compiles information on worldwide security issues.

"The thing that is surprising and disturbing is that [the Chinese] have chosen this moment to demonstrate a military capability that can only be aimed at the United States," he said.

lymex贴的中文评论一篇:

从用导弹报废老卫星看高科技下围魏救赵策略
作者: 半解一知半解

  据报道,中国在一周前用一颗弹道导弹报废了在800多公里高太空轨道运行的一颗老化的“风云”号气象卫星,作为全球霸主和太空霸主领导机构的布什政府在得知这一消息以后一直将盖子捂了一周进行“评估”,直到美国一家媒体报道后才对此事正式表态,随后又有美国的小兄弟英国、澳洲和日本加进来表示了相同的关注、抗议和谴责并要求中国予以解释,韩国也表示了关注,而俄罗斯则对此表示怀疑。它们指责中国的理由是中国此举是在将太空军事化,会挑起太空军备竞赛,这与中国的一贯太空非军事化立场相悖。

  而中国官方的回答只是一句“没听说”、“无法一一证实”那些道听途说的报道。虽然美国自圆其说地在后续报道中说北京在采取措施尽量减少事件引起的恐惧,但从中国官方既不肯定也不否定的语气来看,无疑是在说,你们爱咋的就咋的吧。
  
  最近,美国新防长一直图谋尽快完成美国鹰派们拿下中东、控制中俄,独霸全球和太空的美梦,所以在世界各地都掀起了一股股杀气腾腾的阴风。处于战略中心的伊朗更是危在旦夕,但中国也不能眼睁睁地看着自己的战略盟友被敌对势力一举拿下啊,也就是说,中国是一定有心要解救伊朗之围的,不然去签十几亿美元的石油和天然气合同干吗呢。怎么解救呢?大棋倒有几盘,看来在经过权衡以后,中国高层选择了最高境界的棋局:不战而屈人之兵。

  解救伊朗的办法一是类似朝鲜战争派遣志愿军与伊朗军民共同抗击侵略者,但这样做的副作用是比较大的,二是在美国攻打伊朗的时候顺势武力解决台湾问题,但同样会造成比较大的副作用,很可能是真的要同美、日、台三方作战,三是择机公开中国最具威摄力的“杀手锏”武器,让敌人知难而退,以达到不战而屈人之兵的效果。
  
  中国公开最具威摄力的“杀手锏”武器这一步高招真可谓妙不可言,只要善加利用,完全具有划时代的重大现实和历史意义。其一是很可能会达到高科技时代的“围魏救赵”的策略。美国不是正在剑指伊朗或者中东、南亚、中亚其他国家吗,那好,你要欺负我的小兄弟是你的自由,但我来玩个“空手道”报废自己老化的卫星让自家的小兄弟知道我的武功足以罩着他们总可以吧?美国近几年来打仗不是一直是地上未动天上先行吗?现在你知道了我随便玩一把就可以报废一颗卫星,你要动我的小兄弟是不是该好好掂量掂量呢;如果美国就此打住,知难而退,则可以挽救成千上万的无辜生命免于战火浩劫。如果美国一意孤行执意发动战争,那么战时中国是不是也来一次“误报废”,让美国为战争服务的卫星都报废呢?而且,美国也清楚中国报废卫星的方法也不只有发射弹道导弹。美国之所以紧张,是因为美国的军事间谍和侦察卫星所处的轨道高度与中国这次报废的老化卫星的轨道高度基本相同。这样即可间接帮伊朗或者其他受威胁的国家解围,又为自己洗刷了南联盟大使馆被炸、黎巴嫩军事观察哨被炸的奇耻大辱。
  
  当然,中国也有为自己考虑的因素。记得美国在打伊拉克前夕,和广东人相处了千百年的果子狸突然妖魔化起来,成了华人世界的致命杀手,弄得全国上下乃至世界很多地方都人心惶惶,而美国却在伊拉克快乐地征服着炫耀着。中国这次自己玩“报废”事件,应该含有警告美国不要故伎重演的警示,时代变了,再要瞎玩恐怕中国不会再客气了。最近兴起于北京和上海所谓的“猪瘟”恐怕不是无风起浪吧,所以,中国出重手也是为了防范于未然。

  另外一层意思是对美国在中国周围部署F22和F117的有力还击,言下之意就是说,卫星我可以报废,你那几架破飞机就自己看着办吧,而且,中国媒体近几天公开报道说中国雷达在东海多次发现敌机,毫无疑问,这两步棋都是在告诉美国,隐形飞机对于中国已经是无形可隐,而航母神话也该终结了。
  
  其实,使美国最为恼火的除了为伊朗解围之外的另一个原因是,布什政府几个月前曾经公开扬言:禁止敌对国家使用太空,美国将摧毁敌对国家的太空工具,以便永久性的维持美国的太空霸权。中国的这一“报废”事件无疑是给了美国一个响亮的耳光,然而美国对此除了表示关注、抗议和谴责外无技可施,只能眼睁睁地看着自己的太空霸主地位让中国一弹给毁掉了,而中国作为反霸力量的盟主地位更加巩固,作为中国式民主---和谐世界的倡导者在有强大的军事力量作后盾的情况下,其号召力和影响力也必将与日俱增,而这一切都预示着全球霸权主义和太空霸权主义的进一步衰弱和最终的消亡。
  
  中国的这一步高科技条件下的“围魏救赵”高招无论结果如何演变,都将标志着中国和世界进入了一个新的冲突、安全、稳定与和谐时代。和谐是对善良人们的奖赏,而恶魔般的全球和太空霸权主义则是中国式民主---和谐世界的破坏者,所以,要确保善良的人民能够享受和谐的世界,就必须以代表大多数地球人利益的正义力量来维护世界的和谐,而且要确保这种力量不断地发扬光大、不断地赶超邪恶势力的力量。所以,霸权主义者及其一小撮追随者对这一高招咬牙切齿也就不足为奇了。

America's Top 10 TV Personalities

Every year the Harris Poll asks TV viewers for who they think is the best TV personality. Every year, Oprah is number one, and a bunch of the usual suspects are in the top 10. But the 2006 actually has a few surprises. Here's the list:

1. Oprah Winfrey
2. Jon Stewart
3. Bill O'Reilly
4. Hugh Laurie
5. David Letterman
6. Jay Leno
7. Ray Romano
8. Kiefer Sutherland
8. Ellen DeGeneres
8. Conan O'Brien

What's odd about the list is that most of them are actual TV "personalities," TV hosts of some kind. But somehow, the fictional characters of Jack Bauer from 24 and Dr. House from House made the list, along with the fictional character of Ray Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond, which hasn't been on TV for almost a year.
Great to see Letterman beat Leno and Stewart beat O'Reilly. But why are Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno on this list?

Who should be in those spots taken up by Kiefer Sutherland, Hugh Laurie, and Ray Romano?


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

No surprise, Oprah has been the No. 1 for five years in row.

This is getting super boring. I'm dying to see some day Jon can climb over Oprah.

Call me crazy.

To be frank, I didn't expect to see Hugh Laurie and Kiefer appear on the list. 

Not even close.

Congratulations on your debut!!! You two rock! LOL!


And then, let's think about it. 

How hilarious is this...

Kiefer plays Jack Bauer, who could be the most brutal guy in the world when facing terrorists.

Well, actually Jack Bauer is cruel almost all the time.

As for Hugh Laurie, things become even more funnier.

Greg House is supposed to own the worst personality ever.

I couldn't help giggling about this.

One is bloody cold, the other is so damn arrogant... 

But guess what, people love them. Grrrrrr....


But when I gave it a second thought, I totally realized that this is just American.

It couldn't be more typical.

Jack Bauer and Greg House are both heroes.

They save people's lives, and they're doing it in their own ways.

Here we are talking about some very unusual and edgy ways. 


I think the poll offers us a peek on the US people.

They really embrace the individualism.

American people's individualism is a double-bladed sword.

Usually we prefer to call them controlling and narcissistic freaks, although I'm a total Kiefer and Hugh lover ^^. 

(Well, Hugh Laurie is British but House M.D. is created by American people. so...)

Everyone wants to be a hero, be busy saving people's ass.

The idea of "chosen people" is one of the most stupid thing I've ever heard about.

You're just the descendant of those poor Puritan who had been evicted by the European Continent.

How the hell did God blindly pick you people as some so-called chosen citizen.

Here comes the other interesting part, 

Where ever there is a dictating tyrant, there will be fighters.

The list precisely tells about this.

Oprah is an African American woman and the No.2, my all-time favorite host--Jon Stewart is a brilliant Jewish man.

No matter how cliche sometimes Oprah looks to me, 

she is undoubtedly one of the most powerful people in the States. 

And it's always good to see a woman tops over all those men. LOL!

Well, in a word, Keep bringing it on! We want all these people out there. 

The news, along with the comment was copied from TV Squad.

I don't understand why the blogger seems to have problems with Conan O'Brien 

and Jay Leno. I never find them annoying.



btw, Ray Romano??!

Sometimes we really don't know what Americans are thinking about.

Basically, Ray came back onto the list for ..............no reasons.

Is it because of the end of Everybody loves Raymond?

This is bizarre. Why he's on the list is really a puzzle for me.

Maybe he's just the same case as Seinfeld was before???

But back to Seinfeld, I also don't get it.

What's the difference between Seinfeld and other comedy show actors?

What makes him so special to be one of the top 10 best personalities?

Anyway, at least Raymond is very nice family man.

Ray and Seinfeld, I like them both.

Need more time to figure out what's so fancy about these adorable plain guys.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I seriously wanna write something about Babel, maybe tomorrow.

The movie is as great as expected, and it totally got me.

So far, heavy and complicated are what I can think of to describe it. 

Some people may say Babel resembles Crash.

To some extent, yes, especially for the main issue and the parallel storylines.

But Crash is a little bit over-dramatic, if I have to pick something to complain about.

However, Babel is a pure five star movie.

The only thing I'm not very satisfied with is the Tokyo storyline. 

Obviously, the director knows Mexico and Morocco so well. 

I love all the conflicts happen there.

The heaviness of the maze is beyond words.

And at the same time, I don't feel the stories are pushed. It's all natural.

But for the Tokyo part, I sense setting.

(This is weird, maybe it is just me.)

It is true that the interpersonal family relationship issue is carefully nailed down through the deaf girl.

and I have to say hats off to the process of those mute scenes, totally. It's very sensible and breathtaking!!

But indeed the story is not so typical Asian, or may I say not typical enough, compared with its counter parts.

It's very Japanese, though. 


Let me quote some lines from a review here.

 I couldn't have said it better:


This is one of the best movies and most important movies I've seen in a while 

because of it's unpretentious, subtle patterns and intensely built relationships. 

There was a guy in the theatre who put it best, as he was getting out of his seat: 

"I feel like I just took my first breath in 2 hours."

又愤青了一把 [
17 1 07
]

看了几个小时书,开始看S3的2.5men。

喜欢这部剧,突然有点想私翻S3。原因说来话长。。。

话说今天有人在喜剧区求2,3季的下载,Oasis"义正严词"地说你提供cc字幕啊,字幕组立刻就可以翻,都要听译岂不是累死。

这不由得令人想起那个脸皮厚如铜墙铁壁的苹果(和此女叫一个名字实在是感到羞辱。=.=")。

丫的自恋程度直追芙蓉,人品问题就不说了,最好笑的是俨然把自己当英文大牛,临走不走,还拽得跟二五八万似的。

2.5men仿似也是她私有的东西一般。

罢了,2.5men翻得如何暂且不谈,无论如何,不管是谁,对于字幕组的工作进行否定肯定是不应该的。

其实Oasis在偶眼里一直就是個没脑子的人,说话冲头冲脑。还特别爱管事,发表意见。

看了他说的话不知为何就有点来气,打死也就是個GG的版主,对人家普会就不能客气点?

又想起“刘老师”吩咐的,看2.5men千万不可再看某女做的字幕。

咱要与她彻底拗断,划清界线,坚决对立。


好。。。那S3偶自己翻好了。

刚看了一段,翻了没几个字,看了个网页,就又看到一篇文章,题为:畸形的论坛,可悲的字幕组。

心中一惊,这才翻了两句话,就看到“可悲”二字,晕。

原来这篇网络文章是针对月前三联那一篇关于美剧的文章写的。

作者把自己写得像个内行人。

提出大坛都是有背后商业利益驱动(例如ly属于兰溪电信,tx属于苏图etc.)。

作者还提出在这种情况下所谓字幕组的人都是被利用了。

无偿做了字幕最后还是被论坛高层拿去做商业用途了。被人当作商业工具。

真想跟他说:就你知道?怎么可能有完美的世界,字幕只要自己做得开心,关你鸟事。

再则谁说没有真正的免费和分享???

不是没有过。。。

想想之前猫猫做到的状况,几乎一统网络港剧天下。

树大招风,还是要倒。

海外制片人最后还是不得不流向了ly,tx。

过了那么久,鱼姐姐都结婚了。猫猫终于还是只能成为一段历史。

(呃。。。说起来还欠鱼钱呢。。

阿弥陀佛,回國要赶快还上,结婚礼物也没送到,实在太不应该了。)

不过作者说的有些情况的确还是很值得一些天真的网民看看的。

从来就对ydy的高层没有好感,从来啊从来。。。


其实,三联那篇文章确实一石激起千层浪~

真是纳闷,你要是个小报娱记,那在诸如天涯之類的破地方蹲点也就算了。。。

堂堂三联的大记者,该管的不管,跑到伊甸园蹲点。

更不像话的是有些事情明显是在我们“茶楼”偷窥去的。

就这么篇破文章搞出事情一堆。

PB真理教着实呱躁。

就算刘老师批评批评字幕做的不好又咋得了~

事实就是事实,人家有资格批评,虚心接受才是王道。

至于评论PB,人家以一个普通网友身份发表看法。。。

范得着劳您三联大驾来评头论足吗?

要说不应当的,那个疯婆子才该拖出去斩罗。

去年Emmy翻得那叫什么东西,明明丢脸丢大发了自己还一个劲做广告。

惨不忍睹。。。


总而言之,三联怎么会搞出这么篇东西来实在很莫名。

把real搬出来点了名写就更诡异。


同学们,最佳解决办法还是认真学习英语,努力提高文化修养。

赚了钞票装个卫星,咱啥都裸看可以了吧?


发完牢骚,骂了一堆人,继续去翻2.5men。=.='

不给字幕组卖命,真有人要说可悲,那就可悲一回吧。

谁让那个苹果和绿洲的话看了就让人不氛气呢。。


p.s.

狮子座就是有做愤青的坏毛病。

今天跟Janice说那个苹果真是不可理喻。。。

小开同学说:3J,过去的事咱就不提它了。。

哎。小姑娘是善良。。。

我这还没报给她一串黑名单听呢。

The Evolution of Jack Bauer

 

Last June in Washington, the conservative Heritage Foundation held a forum on terrorism with a panel of august authorities. There was Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff. There was a pair of think-tank terrorism experts. And naturally, there were Chloe, Tony and the evil President from 24.

The panel--"24 and America's Image in Fighting Terrorism: Fact, Fiction or Does It Matter?"--was not exactly Foreign Affairs journal material. Moderator Rush Limbaugh planted a full-on mouth kiss on actress Mary Lynn Rajskub (a.k.a. tech geek Chloe), and actors and producers took softball questions as audience members cheered what Limbaugh called the show's "pro-America" stance. (Among the crowd were pundit Laura Ingraham and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.) The weird spectacle put a point on a raging question in pop culture: Is 24 just a TV show or right-wing propaganda? Or, to turn Jack Bauer's frequent refrain on him: Who are you working for?

Certainly 24, which debuted just weeks after 9/11 and returns Jan. 14, comes as close as anything has to being the Official Cultural Product of the War on Terrorism. Co-creator Joel Surnow is a rare Hollywood Republican, and John McCain has done a cameo. Dick Cheney is a big fan too, and you can understand the Administration's wanting to associate itself with Bauer's badass competence. (He nabs nuclear masterminds; we get Jose Padilla.) Most damningly to critics on the left, Bauer's means of gathering intel (grab terrorist's finger, snap, repeat) make 24 a weekly rationalization of the "ticking time bomb" defense of torture.

So is 24 a conservative show? Yes, in the sense that the thriller is a conservative genre. Ticking time bombs and pure-evil bad guys make for exciting TV. Working patiently to improve America's image in the Muslim world--not so much. (Maybe Aaron Sorkin could spice it up with an office romance and lots of walk-and-talks.) Muddy a terrorism thriller with liberal concern over root causes and you get Syriana, whose plot audiences couldn't follow with a GPS device. "The politics of the show," says executive producer Howard Gordon (a registered Democrat), "are narrative politics."

But beyond that, things get more complicated. As the war has dragged on and become less black-and-white, so has 24. In 2003 it featured a conspiracy to provoke a Middle East invasion using bogus WMD evidence. (Yellowcake, anyone?) Last year's villain was the President, who had his predecessor assassinated. In the new season, a string of suicide bombings has led, chillingly, to federal "detention centers" for Muslims, much like in the liberal pre-9/11 movie The Siege.

Then there's Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), who has seen his wife killed, executed an innocent man to stop an attack, tortured people (sometimes mistakenly), been tortured and spent two years in a Chinese prison. Unlike James Bond, who just gets younger and tougher, by the new season Bauer is tired, disillusioned and wondering how much longer he can fight the Long War. His scars are not only physical; his work has cost him relationships and perhaps some part of his humanity. He has been changed and damaged by every compromise he has had to make. By extension, he forces us to ask if we have too.

He keeps fighting, of course (he has 24 episodes to fill), but for people, not politics. 24's ideology--Jack Bauerism, if you will--is not so much in between left and right as it is outside them, impatient with both A.C.L.U. niceties and Bushian moral absolutes. This season, Bauer allies with Hamri al-Assad, a (putatively) reformed terrorist leader, to stop an attack. He thus displays a better grasp of realpolitik than has the Bush Administration, which resisted the Iraq Study Group's recommendation to work with Iran and Syria. A fellow agent asks Bauer if it matters that al-Assad has murdered hundreds of people. "I don't know what means anything anymore," he answers. "The playing field has changed."

That playing field can change again, and probably will. On 24, there are a few very good people, a few very bad ones and in between, a lot of question marks who can upend the plot (and the political analogies). That may be the biggest lesson of 24 in the Iraq era: don't stubbornly hang on to your preconceptions when the facts on the ground change. Undoubtedly, Bauer will continue to give liberals and libertarians conniptions before his latest day is over. But if conservatives and neocons think 24 is working for them, they don't know Jack.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The article is quite a piece of work, especially the highlight passages.

For the author's main points, I second that!!! So true and so clear.

Guess who need detoxing?

I do.

The Epiphany Term officially gets started today.

It's high time that I sucked into my study.

Really uncomfortable with my recent condition, although I've been like this for years.

I'm easy in this way, easy to become a XYZ-obsessive.

And look what did I do to myself......

I feel dizzy, my back is tight, neck hurts, and even arms feel so sore.

In this case there is no way I can survive. 

I'm sooooooo gonna screw up the real deal--my master degree. ><!!!!

Have to break all those ugly and unhealthy but lifetime habits.

I need influx, academically.

Studying in library today, this could make a good start.

If I can't do it right in the next few monthes, I should get slapped!!!!

No excuse, no delay.

Detox, now!!!!

After writing out the list, I suddenly realized that I've been watching 3 sitcom from CBS~

Although they are not all very good ones, but the list itself still says something, that NBC is losing it's place in the industry. 

True, NBC still has The Office, Scrubs or even SNL, but when Seinfeld, Friends, and Will and Grace were no longer on the air, NBC was just not that NBC at all.

By the way, it looks like I should quit the school and then stick to the TV. 

Otherwise, is there any possibility for me to finish the list and get my diploma at the same time?

I'm really worried about this...*hack*

But look at the bright side, ummm..I'm not completely unawared of what's going on on TV. 

However.........It's just all about the States :(

新年更替的时候,无论哪个行业,各种各样的评选和颁奖礼都多到数不清。

刚才10分钟之内看了不下10个06年美剧的排名,从TVGuide几位编剧的评论到编剧协会奖,制片协会奖提名到美国电影协会奖。。。

到媒体诸如US Today, Times的排名,当然还少不了这个月的重头Golden Globe.

连TV Squad的一堆Best and Worst of 2006都去看了一遍。

不出意料,BSG获得非常良好的风评无数。

不过相信最后的结果也会是不出意料的,就是没奖拿。汗。

主要看一下金球的:

××电影全提名××

最佳戏剧电影
Babel
Bobby
The Departed    <--翻拍的还是算了吧。
Little Children
The Queen


最佳戏剧电影女主角
Penélope Cruz -- Volver                 
Judi Dench -- Notes On A Scandal
Maggie Gyllenhaal -- Sherrybaby
Helen Mirren -- The Queen
Kate Winslet -- Little Children          

##对Nicole Kidman没啥好印象的偶例来是Penelope的铁杆。
NK拍马也是追不上的~实在太棒了。
Helen Mirren不需要说了~尽管没有看The Queen,但是一套Elizabeth I已经让偶彻底折服了。
早年的高斯福德庄园太精彩,好戲之人太多,对她提名最佳女配的角色反倒有些淡忘了。
至于Kate,纯属长期个人偏好^^



最佳戏剧电影男主角
Leonardo Dicaprio -- Blood Diamond
Leonardo Dicaprio -- The Departed

Peter O'toole -- Venus
Will Smith -- The Pursuit Of Happyness
Forest Whitaker -- The Last King Of Scotland

## 对Oscar来说或许长得帅的就没奖拿。
但是Leonardo的演技早些年前就已经达到一定深度了。
终有一天,会拿奖的。希望今年金球给面子~

============================


最佳喜剧或音乐类电影
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
The Devil Wears Prada

最佳喜剧或音乐类电影女主角

Annette Bening -- Running With Scissors
Toni Collette -- Little Miss Sunshine
Beyoncé Knowles -- Dreamgirls
Meryl Streep -- The Devil Wears Prada
Renee Zellweger -- Miss Potter

##Zellweger的脸从来不讨偶欢喜。

Sacha Baron Cohen -- Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
Johnny Depp -- Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man'S Chest
Aaron Eckhart -- Thank You for Smoking

Volver

##照说Clint Eastwood该是和

8过鉴于他的题材牵涉日本人和战争,那还是坚定地拥护Almodover吧!!


最佳女配角
Adriana Barraza -- Babel
Cate Blanchett -- Notes On A Scandal
Emily Blunt -- The Devil Wears Prada
Jennifer Hudson -- Dreamgirls
Rinko Kikuchi -- Babel

##大爱的Cate这两年事业着实红火。爽!

Hans Zimmer -- The Da Vinci Code




××电视剧全提名××

最佳Drama
24
Big Love
Grey's Anatomy
Heroes
Lost


看好heroes暴冷,24机会很大,但若是拿下个人也实在无语。作为铁杆偶却这么不喜欢S5。
只能说涉及到总统,编剧确实还是很有胆量。
对LOST的支持,还用說?



最佳Drama男主角
Patrick Dempsey -- Grey's Anatomy
Michael C Hall -- Dexter
Hugh Laurie -- House
Bill Paxton -- Big Love
Kiefer Sutherland -- 24 

两位皆是心头好,还要说一句:俺的眼中没有GA。

最佳Drama女主角
Patricia Arquette -- Medium
Edie Falco -- The Sopranos
Evangeline Lilly -- Lost
Ellen Pompeo -- Grey's Anatomy
Kyra Sedgwick -- The Closer


Patricia A.奖拿了不少但从来没看顺眼过。Medium居然不被砍掉,还成为撑台面的片子。
为NBC实在感到太悲哀了,整体质量下降得也太快了。
Ellen Pompeo给我感觉更是cheap,极为艳俗。
Kyra也不谈了,The Closer招来那么多争议,偶是坚决认为本子很好演员很不合适的。
情感上无限支持Evi!!!

==========================


最佳Comedy
Desperate Housewives
Entourage
The Office
Ugly Betty
Weeds


纯属个人偏好。
the office之類的英国人原版做的好多了。
老美吓起哄还老给自己的改编版颁奖,也不羞。
Weeds....就是不太喜歡了。


最佳Comedy男主角
Alec Baldwin -- 30 Rock
Zach Braff -- Scrubs
Steve Carell -- The Office
Jason Lee-- My Name is Earl
Tony Shalhoub -- Monk

其实偏向Zach Braff。
Scrubs和Office总体上看着都不像comedy了~
笑归笑,更多时候让我感觉非常寒,直发抖。
看Monk每年不停拿各种奖,也还挺有意思的。


最佳Comedy女主角
Marcia Cross -- Desperate Housewives
America Ferrara -- Ugly Betty
Felicity Huffman -- Desperate Housewives
Julia Louis-Dreyfus -- The New Adventures of Old Christine
Mary-Lousie Parker -- Weeds

非常喜欢Bree這個角色,饱满立体的很。Marcia赞。
Felicity也是可以绝对接受的。
Weeds连拿两年应该不会吧~


=========================


最佳电视电影或迷你剧集
Bleak House -- PBS
Broken Trail -- AMC
Elizabeth I -- HBO
Mrs. Harris -- HBO
Prime Suspect: The Final Act -- PBS


Elizabeth I毫无悬念~
而且又有哪一年不是HBO呢?呵呵。

最佳电视电影或迷你剧集男主角
Andre Braugher -- Thief
Robert Duvall -- Broken Trail
Michael Ealy -- Sleeper Cell: American Terror
Chiwetel Ejiofor -- Tsunami, The Aftermath
Ben Kingsley -- Mrs. Harris
Bill Nighy -- Gideon's Daughter
Matthew Perry -- The Ron Clark Story

Matthew啊!!!!!


最佳电视电影或迷你剧集女主角
Gillian Anderson -- Bleak House
Annette Bening -- Mrs. Harris
Helen Mirren -- Elizabeth I
Helen Mirren -- Prime Suspect: The Final Act

Sophie Okonedo -- Tsunami, The Aftermath


金球今年要是做的好看,就让Helen Mirren一人横扫电影和电视所有的女主角奖好了。
看起来会非常过瘾的。确实赞啊。


最佳男配角
Thomas Haden Church -- Broken Trail
Jeremy Irons -- Elizabeth I
Justin Kirk -- Weeds
Masi Oka -- Heroes
Jeremy Piven -- Entourage


真的演得....非常好!!!

最佳女配角

认真? [
6 1 07
]


前两天和vikki聊了个通宵,vikki评论GA的话说到偶心里去了,混乱的男女关系,就是不爱看。

Derek再有型也好,不清楚自己的责任,就是乱来。。。

对没有原则的人完全没有办法接受。(Vikki啊,我怎么又想到Jack了哈哈~)

顺便再次表达一下对第三者的痛恨,是咬牙切齿的痛恨!

很多人很善于给自己找理由,做错了事情推卸给全世界,这实在是最差劲的一种过分自我。

然后又想起今晚看的赌场大結局。。。

ummm....就是这个道理。

好像Ceo,长得帅就能博得全世界的同情了?

记得ep32的时候,看到他上门讨人找青云,真是十分扯火,包括对李青云的不争气。

这年头,第三者杀上门居然这么理直气壮。

看完ep32的时候偶心想,背负了这么多事情,对不起那么多人,做了那么多错事,让你们在一起也是不會幸福的。

没想到ep33开头青云也是这样对乔~说的。

ummmm.....心想编剧终于有逻辑了一次。

其实小时候看电视的时候经常会觉得哀其不幸,怒其不争。

不过现在而言,就觉得怎么这种衰人还不遭报应。

或许是这次编剧的问题,貌似都還沒有"不幸"。

赌场的很多剧情和角色都十分经不起推敲,很生硬。

尤记得天地豪情,张家辉演的Kelvin。

那确实是不幸,被发现非亲生的身世之后,整个家都开始嫌弃他。

而其实乔~这个角色根本不能说是变坏,只是本质暴露而已。

虽然从小困难没少遇到,但他还是没有跌过跟头的。

说白了只能以胜利者的姿态出现。

当自己是胜利者的时候,自然乐得表现自己好人的角色。

现实中很多人都是这样,顺境的时候什么都好,一旦跌跤了就怨天尤人,或是迁怒于人。

是非黑白看得太重,太讲原则,是不是也是个毛病?

看来我是非常有毛病><!!

在出现矛盾的时候,还是会pick a side然后与另一边站成对立,做不到闭着眼由他而去。

这也是狮子座的毛病吗?

天秤座的兄弟姐妹究竟是怎样做到那么和谐与大而化之的呢?

有時候为此好困扰~sigh~

--------------------------------------------------
06年歌坛,没有想到差到这样的。

今天又再听了一些歌,还是非常不满意啊不满意。

不过发现Be True的歌词很不错,写得很形象。

送给所有的好朋友。。。


動搖問我 徬徨問我
戀愛若不妥 患難
起過
苦腦共對 快樂

找到了理想知己那根據

 

若然犯錯 共同踏破
但逃避不過 現實的

未來讓我 珍惜你重來過
不怕太少見又如何

看著前途就似跨幾個欄河
我亦從不太囉嗦 暗中會陪你切磋
計劃未來尚有很多 若旅途巔波
沿路記住有著我 總可以更
痛快
的激破

*I will always be with you
 哪怕風雨 同步抵擋不會輸
 I will always be with you
 
Always be true 長伴身邊的雋語*

到我目前面對總總太麻煩
你亦同樣會分擔 暗中會陪我過關
各自前行未怕孤單 願意來支撐
隨便笑罵已習慣 不需要太客套的稱讚    
 

(↑↑昨天还被Rui说蛋糕样子难看,生菜太熟,Hanzon也老样子天天说一次我人黑。哈~↑↑)

REPEAT*

I will always be with you
Always be true
Love will bring me close to you
I will always be with you
Always be true 溶在心中的雋語

Some dreams will never come true
Always stay cool
I will always be with you

最后贴上昨天做的蜂蜜小蛋糕。味道粉满意,不过蛋糕还是没有发酵到很成功。

下周再做过,努力打发。









奶香土豆泥还是很好吃滴,不枉偶站在锅前捣鼓那么久啊。





Nicole在一镑店买的一镑两个的杯子,简直就是珍珠奶茶杯!!赞!!

让我们每天都进步一点点 [
4 1 07
]


昨天写了一堆东西之后不小心关闭了页面。心中好不郁闷。

总而言之,就是一番波折之后昨天收到了Leo从澳大利亚寄来的礼物,满满一盒。不知道说什么好了。

还收到一张妹妹从上海寄来的卡片。她的风格:立体卡。她的风格:一个字都没有。

看着卡片傻笑了半天。呵呵呵呵~~

于是今天跑去寄出了一篇新年卡和明信片。

看看名单上还有长长的一串。

可是昨天已经写卡写到今天手臂酸痛了,我真是个很话劳的人吗?


今天的大事之一:终于。。。。。几乎买全了Tiramisu的材料。开动咯!!

为啥说几乎,因为找全最难找的几样材料之后,一兴奋之下还是漏买了可可粉。

回来后到楼下小店买黑巧克力充数,不料用微波炉化巧克力把微波碗从底到盖子都给烫穿了。

巧克力的威力就这么大啊?这可是微波碗来的||__||~

anyway一阵捣鼓之后,自作聪明地以为手指饼干浸越多咖啡会味道会越浓。

结果事实证明,這樣做也会和美女上次试验一样,令到蛋糕太水。

不过感到很開心的是,奶油调出来很好吃,糖和酒的分量很都好。

还有一点不足之处就是,顶上用了咖啡粉代替,略有点苦了~

下周再做过,把饼干做好了,搞定可可粉,一定能做好的^^。

话说做提拉米苏的成本那叫一个高。

Mascarpone Cheese 500G一盒要2镑多,每次都要用掉整整一盒。

搜索了一下淘宝,国内这个Cheese同等量的最便宜的也要卖60多块钱。

但是Mascarpone可是Tiramisu的精髓之一呢。

想到回家要做这个的成本,不免滴汗。。。

当然,这还没有算上其他的,例如正宗杏仁酒的成本,Espresso的成本,买了个电动打蛋器的成本。。。

今天本姑娘看到Espresso的价钱实在买不下手,最后还是用某巢公司的普通速溶咖啡代替的。

来来来,上照两张,另外许久没有贴图了,把伦敦的照片整理出来之前,还是帖下偶的小菜吧。

争取每天都进步一点点,以照为证~

明天的目标是:蜂蜜蛋糕。 












-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

前两天看到一部情人节电影:Music and Lyrics的预告片。

超级期待。

继Love Actually之后又能看到Hugh Grant跳舞了,跳得更多,而且还要唱歌哦。

Hugh Grant + Drew Barrymore,很喜欢得组合呢。

把预告片传到youtube了~大家一起来期待吧:

one of TDS best moments in 2006 [
2 1 07
]

It's been late midnight already.

Being a huge fan of The Daily Show and Jon Stewart himself, I couldn't help posting this video here!!! How crazy am I.

As what Jon said, the speech Colbert delivered was just ballsalicious!!!

Colbert said all those words right to Bush and other jerks' faces. This speech to end the press dinner, I was so impressed and I'm totally in awe now!!

If people askes what's so good about America, I guess this is the best proof. Though it might also be the only one thing that the U.S. should be proud of.
 

I'm so sure Youtube will find out what I uploaded and deleted it very soon. So....come on and check out how cool it is.

And here, is a higher quality download of Stephen Colbert White house correspondents speech:

http://files.ww.com/download.html?id=13906


 



When I first watched the Dec. 18th episode, that "Mmmboptism" gimmick almost made me inhale the coffee~ and I'm still giggling about  that~

Awesome! *LMAO*!!!

Can't love you more, Jon!!

Le Petit Prince [
1 1 07
]
2007年1月1日。

零點的時候坐在電腦前,忘記了是在煲劇還是聊天,總之是很普通且平淡。

之後看了小寸的blog。寸的記性真好, 她寫的一些細枝末節,若不是讀到,我可能都有些淡忘了,不過。。。那種感覺,是一世都不會忘記的。

在香港度過的日子讓自己都覺得有些難以置信,20歲。。18歲,又或許從更早以前開始就沒有再擁有過哪怕片刻這樣真正無憂無慮好像做夢一般的愉悅。

大約月半之前HH在茶樓貼了一張香港街頭芝華氏的大型戶外海報,一看便知,是尖咀接近鐘樓地方的那一處。

對于香港地,確實很稀有,能够在不是故鄉的地方獲得那樣的熟悉感。


新年的第一天,煲了劇做了菜,最後選擇在閱讀《小王子》中度過。

《小王子》有那么多版本,乘著聖誕打折,明天應該要去書侷找一下英文版的,將來再去法國收藏一個原汁原味法文版的。

我的那本《小王子》是高三時候的同桌推薦并送給我的。

《小王子》。。。每次唸它,都會讓人覺得有些臉紅羞愧。

書中那些奇怪星球上的傻瓜人物,或多或少,不同階段,自己身上總有他們的影子存在。

有時自己是A星球的傻瓜A,有時又是B星球的笨蛋B。

記得看SATC的時候,有想起過《小王子》,那也是SATC令我印象最深的一處。

Carrie在街頭遇到訂婚的Big,最後她忽然醒悟,一直以爲是自己不能馴服Big,其實同樣的,她之与Big亦是無法征服的。

不過,很多自以爲是的女人們看了這個橋段之後喜歡對號入座,將自己也特殊化起來,比如大學里的一位同學。其實大家都在為她感到可悲。

說回《小王子》,SATC的這個情節總是讓我想起那只狐狸。

最近半年還有認識一位朋友似乎覺得自己是那只狐狸。

這位朋友時刻流露的童心時常令我感覺很慚愧很遺憾,自己的童心在很早的時候就遺失了。

當然~~他的問題並不在于認識不到癥結所在,而是--

他太過好了,能够馴服他的小王子實在不知道地球上有沒有。

若是他找不到,或許若干年後可以送給他一首歌,告訴他這是一首很老的歌,叫做:1874。

是一個很特別的詞人黃偉文的作品。在歌裏可以找到他的所有心情,聊以安慰。

如果。。若干年之後還和這位朋友有聯繫的話。。。

其實人人都是狐狸,人人都是小王子,人人都是玫瑰花。

希望被馴服的人吶,祝願你們都能找到小王子,回到玫瑰花身邊,或是遇到一只令人恍然大悟的狐狸。

有時候他們會令你傷心,但請記得小王子向狐狸告別時狐狸的眼泪。

哭泣是必然的,這並不代表是錯,因爲你在他們身上花了心血与時間。

小王子的結局有很多種解讀。而我每一次唸都覺得他是真的回到了他的星球去。

或許這是因爲人總是相信自己願意相信的東西。

亦舒的眼裏,《小王子》的結局是悲情的,小王子選擇了用毒蛇的毒液結束自己的生命。

不過。。。我還是執著于我的執著吧。

噢! 對了~我還可以告訴我的那位朋友,黃偉文還有專門寫過一首《小王子》。

噢!是的。“戴琉璃冠冕 衬毛毛披肩 搜索银河散落 星的碎片 沿路四溅~”


《小王子》

戴琉璃冠冕 衬毛毛披肩 

到浮华市面 兜一个圈 巡视半天 

你流连商店 我环游花园 

总有奇逢两段 花开两边 闲话两端 

愿奇异恩典像碎片 天天发现 

幸福体验 从未破损 


你年龄不变 我灵魂幼嫩 

靠情怀判断 不计年月 年月太短 

以纯情的脸 与霓虹竞艳 

喜爱成为焦点 一旦停电 还是会闪 

愿奇异恩典像碎片  天天发现 

幸福体验 留下爱惜保存 

午间小聚 来做美点 


流连在花园 春色染在发端 

蔷薇杜鹃都赏遍 抬头发现 

地方天圆 谁让我挂牵 


戴琉璃冠冕 衬毛毛披肩 

到浮华市面 兜一个圈 巡视半天 

你流连商店 我环游花园 

搜索银河散落 星的碎片 沿路四溅

晏周瞓咗一覺,煮一大杯珍珠奶茶,舒舒服服咁坐定開始煲劇~爽ar!!!賭場就來做大結局了~儲定成20集要睇errrrrr~
講真~三色台d劇一年難睇過一年~d新人做戲又完全唔掂~雖然同舊時幾套賭片冇得比~家畫來講,賭場算係ok喇~不過d橋都幾誇張嘅bor~郭峰同ceo賭之前就佈晒局??~~切~佢又咁sure ceo會出千?佢又知ceo會搵人去查佢老婆?~~~同埋可能時代唔同咗,有d劇情真係幾咁好笑,譬如楊怡懷疑肥佬中意咗阿富,哇哈哈~呢個都算係與時並進lor~睇到呢d le~都唔知俾咩反應好~

講下又講,似乎大家都幾中意三哥,但我就好中意bobby er~可能係因爲我未睇過學警lor,苗橋偉.....mummm..不嬲都痲痲哋~又或者係角色嘅問題~又酷又有型果d~硬係覺得有d假咁ge~@.@不過我成日捻起80年代偉仔果個絕代雙驕裏面佢演嘅江楓~mummmmm...苗橋偉幾十年以來嘅賣點都冇變到~靚仔le~係永遠唔會out嘅~另外始終有個疑問~點解康華好似一年后生過一年,越來越靓嘅??有時電視台重播睇返陀槍1,2,佢果時個樣真係老過依家好多.

哇!!!寫下寫下都6點兩個字lu~~七點出發去TESCO,買齊所有材料返來,聼日開始學煮新菜式,同埋仲要學整西點!預備從Tiramisu開始~~~
祝我成功呀!!!!!!!!

ps,

今日唔知點解個紫光輸入法突然之間short咗~

為咗打一個字,無意之中查到呢個,大家一起學下喇^^:


好多人都將「」同「」都用晒「

其實佢哋嘅用法係完全唔同嘅,只係讀音差少少

究竟有乜唔同呢?我哋先睇下以下嘅例子先:

唔係嘛鬼熱梗係要開冷氣啦!」不是嘛!這麼當然要啟動空調啊!

「今時今日嘅服務態度未夠!」現時這樣的服務態度仍未足夠的!


而家,尤其係香港人都唔分呢兩個字,一律只用「」。



原本啲人都有分開呢兩個字嘅,搞到咁多人認為呢兩個字一樣嘅罪魁禍首都係香港嘅娛樂新聞記者,之後重有互聯網做幫兇將佢「發揚光大」。


識得分或這會分呢兩個字嘅人真係非常之少。我試過喺搜尋器都搵「噉樣」,發覺都唔係完全冇㗎喎,仍然發現有啲蹤跡,不過真係極少。

 

但實際上從上都係唔同嘅,睇吓下邊嘅解釋啦。

」讀音:   gam3 [禁]


解釋:
    1.這麼、那麼    (例:)凍先可以防上變壞。  [這麼冷才可以防止腐壞。]

    2.多麼    (例:)今日熱㗎!  [今天多麼熱啊!]

」讀音:  gam2 [敢]


解釋:
    1.指示代詞,這樣、那樣    (例:)就死喇!  [這樣就糟糕了!]

    2.助詞,似的    (例:)佢個頭好似個橙。  [他的頭樣個橙似的。]

    3.助詞,地    (例:)佢好大聲講嘢。  [他很大聲說話。]

 

如果你重係覺得好難分,你可以試吓記讀音。
gam2 [] 嘅,就係「」;

gam3 [] 嘅,就係「」。

噉樣記就實o店啦!

伦敦真不是我的福地。

在此毁容了。

从来就听说烫伤疤痕很难消除,妈的这还是在脸上。

今天才突然想起遇到烫伤要戒口不吃酱油辣椒或其他一切辛辣及有黑色素的东西,前天还吃了鸡翅,昨天还吃了火锅呢。5555555555555

要擦芦荟。。。上哪儿找。

要擦VE,上超市买。

要抹熏衣草精油,上bodyshop买。

要涂芦荟,还是bodyshop。。。

这个花销。。。欲哭无泪啊。。。都不知道管用不管用。花花得就几十镑没了。

噢!还有一支遮暇膏。。。痛在心里啊痛在心里。

好吧,乖乖的,从今天开始戒口了。。。

这可怎么活。。。。。

to Vikki and all Jaters in the universe [
26 12 06
]



Vikki, 

I'm so glad to got your email, finally^^~ I bet you do have a life there~:D good for you!

in case you haven't heard about this, I got some good news for you.

just now I read through a pretty long thread in lost-forum and it blows my mind!!!!

indeed, JATE rules!!!!! 

screw those shallow skaters~~

(no offense! but some particular skaters are so annoying~~vikki, you know me so well, I believe you understand what I'm talking about~both two people in a relationship are hot can never be a reason for me to be supportive for them~~~some skaters are just shallow:P)

anyway, back on track~JATE means canon! I have this faith and I will always carry it on! let's do that! ha~

check this out, vikki. what J.J. said is just terrific!!!! can he read us jaters' mind? Grrrrrrr.... If there is a Bible for JATE, I truely believe that J.J.'s words can be put on the very first page!!

I couldn't think of any other words which are more perfect or more precise than what he describes.

and for Damon, I would like to say, for Christ's sake, we are all watching you here!! you'd better not disappoint us!! be careful about the script! *lol* dont bring us down again, the "skex" is already spoiling the show~



J.J. Abrams: You could put, Jack and Kate on a, NYC street, and have them pass each other, at rush hour, on a Wednesday morning. And, they would stop, and turn, slowing to watch each other go by. They know each other within the context, of a universal recognition. They have met before, this life. And, they will meet again, in another.     

(see~how exactly he tells about the JATE ship^^!!! I couln't agree more!! when people realize this, they all would say, yes, JATE, that's it!!! seriously, no kidding~ can this be more meant to be^^? J.J. is amazing~he makes my day during this long waiting. ha! no matter what wil be going on~this is all enough.)

Damon Lindelof: On the other hand, Jack and Kate are a classical romantic couple. They are amazed by each other. And, as the time runs, they start to depend on each other, care about each other. The connection between them is getting stronger, this season. There is always something, someone, in their way. That makes the audience support them, all the time. 


------------------------------------------------------------------------

// I think everybody loves love actually, isn't it? 

so, yesterday I made this poster for our fellow losties. it's really time consuming and made my eyes hurt for the whole day &.&.

I hope it doesn't look bad^^~Merry Xmas again~ I hope this poster is a reminder of having fun..wakaka~~~~~

今天大家传达了新笑话过来:

Rui叫杨工,徐俊叫徐总,金凡叫张董,潘潘说自己打工,孙是张孙氏云云~啊呀八路姐是啥给听忘了,罪过罪过~

好喜欢大家的新绰号哦!!!哈哈~我们都年纪大了,到了这份上了耶~想起来也要偷笑一下的!

Rui问你啥时候回来~答:若是3月回来那接下来两个月就要拼命念书才行了~

Rui说:那就拼命念啊~

哈!!!有道理的哈!!!


挂上电话听到ydy某圣诞帖EGA帖的圣诞歌~

感觉还是十分温馨的~

其实英伦的圣诞也未算是气氛极为浓烈~

阴差阳错的我的圣诞夜大餐也落空了,今晚要一个人过罗~

幸好圣诞也不是我们中国人的节日,不需要凑那个热闹~

拿起金凡桌上的贝太菜谱,一会儿就去买菜,自己给自己做点简单又好吃的东东~外加一大碗热腾腾的辛拉面~

eyes on London [
22 12 06
]


ummmm...dont know where to start. actually, I cut my rambling to a very low frequency since I came to UK. sometimes I know I did that intentionally to hide some of my feelings coz I am so aware of the fact that I'm a person who has way too much feelings towards this world. in most of the time, I can only get myself hurt by doing so. thus I ring the alarm all the time to remind--not too much exposure, not too much exposure...luckily, things all go very well in Durham~~~ well, I may shouldn't have said ALL...but still, those small moles can be easily neglected as long as I make the most of my days...

And now, I have officially been in London for longer than a week. It's a shame but I still have to say, there is nothing new and not too much amusement either, except that it's been great fun to travel with my lovely friend yuan yuan. She is quite a girl. I truely didn't expect this coming although I hadn't pictured the fancies of London too much either...Of course, the old old city has all those good characters for being a metropolis like the enormous historical attractions, the easy transportation, the fabulous shops and the supermarkets and cafes just on the corner. However, it also holds those characters which may not be very loveable. There is no need to name all of these things here. Finally I chose to keep silent about this London trip. It's just too complicated to describe what I see and feel everyday. The funny thing is, walking on the roads of London, I even get my high pace ambulation back. You see....I can make that shanghai girl back so easily. But...gosh~~ this part happened to be exactly something I wanna get rid of when I decide to come to UK. 

True, people ask, "still thinking about coming to London next year?" Yes, I'm afraid so...There is dilemma everywhere in the world. I still believe that I'm a person who doesn't fear to encounter the hardness. I guess that is some quality what Leons possess although it turns out to be obstacle in our lives quite often. For things what I desire, it has nothing to do with the fame,  the wealth, or only the joyful days of travelling around. I know I'm seeking much than that...hehe..It beyonds my words. I'd better stop.

P.S.
kiki was not able to come back to London on time because of the damn fog...We don't even know whether we can see each other this time...What a disappointment><! I carried my outfit and even the boot all my way down here, just for her christmas eve dinner, but finally ended up in this situation...Who the hell should I blame for this...well...now I can clearly feel that after all these years, how English people usually get their long faces. There is no way for people to live in this kind of weather but still can be happy all the time...


To Bra,
Thx sooo much for all you guys' concerns about me^^! I'm all hanging on, doing ok here...ha!! I hear from Blue that you've received a fairly good position in the laboratory. Cong and big hug!!! well done, buddy!!! 
Hey, pls let me know when you will go back to shanghai for which I need the exact date. I'm thinking of going back for a short break during the easter holidays too. Hopefully I think we can have several days to hang out when both of us are in Shanghai. FYI, my easter holiday will start from the late March. So...is there any chance we can make it??? I miss our evil pals in Shanghai soooo much!!! wahaha!!! They evil evil people...lol!!!!
BTW, I talked to them on MSN today. We are all saying that last year flew faster than ever before...how could it be...|||___|||....Time is so cruel. So...pop on more, man!! Haven't heard from you for quite some time lor!



oops...yuan yuan is phoneing me...I should go get the door for her~~~stop rambling here~~~!

On the Eve of His Execution [
22 12 06
]

Google the poem and I find out that the poem sent to Elizabeth I after the execution of the Earl of Essex was actually written by Chidiock Tichborne on the eve of his execution.

Anyway, the poem is indeed a masterpiece and again, the translation is quite OK...


On the Eve of His Execution

My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
And all my good is but vain hope of gain;
The day is past, and yet I saw no sun,
And now I live, and now my life is done.

My tale was heard and yet it was not told,
My fruit is fallen, yet my leaves are green,
My youth is spent and yet I am not old,
I saw the world and yet I was not seen;
My thread is cut and yet it is not spun,
And now I live and now my life is done.

I sought my death and found it in my womb,
I looked for life and found it was a shade,
I trod the earth and knew it was my tomb,
And now I die, and now I was but made;
My glass is full, and now my glass is run,
And now I live, and now my life is done.

-- Chidiock Tichborne 

青春韶华 霜结爱恋
欢乐盛宴 苦不堪言
生之硕果 皆为草稗
历尽此生 空怀幻念
光阴正逝 华不再来
化蝶于此 今生不在

On monsieur's departure [
22 12 06
]
After visiting quite a few historical attractions during this London trip, I decided to rewatch the Emmy-awarded movie Elizabeth I.
In the movie, there is a poetry people surely won't miss, which is written by the legendary queen. 
The poem moves me to my very core~~!!
btw, happy to note that the translation is not bad!~ydy did a pretty good job this time:D!!


On monsieur's departure

I grieve and dare not show my discontent,      
I love and yet am forced to seem to hate,        
I do, yet dare not say I ever meant,
I seem stark mute but inwardly do prate.
I am and not, I freeze and yet am burned,
Since from myself another self I turned.

My care is like my shadow in the sun,
Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it,
Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.
His too familiar care doth make me rue it.
No means I find to rid him from my breast,
Till by the end of things it be supprest.
Some gentler passion slide into my mind,
For I am soft and made of melting snow;
Or be more cruel, love, and so be kind.
Let me or float or sink, be high or low.
Or let me live with some more sweet content,
Or die and so forget what love ere meant.


Translation:
我很悲伤,却不能显出我的不满。
明明是爱却必须表现成恨,做了的事情却必须申请根本无意去做。
我外表沉默,内心却有万语想说。
我是自己却又不属于自己。
我内心冰冷却已是燃尽的尘埃,
由一个我变成了另一个我。
我的烦恼如同阳光下的影子,
它跟随我挥之不去,如影随行,做我所作,
要不就是给我更多虚无的满足,
要不就会催我去死,
由此使我忘却早已逝去的爱。

In fact, the movie requires huge background information to be learned...just pick some notes regarding the poem:
为了保住王位,议会的大臣们催促女王结婚生子。待女王遇到皇族后代安茹时,这门婚事因宗教信仰不同而遭到子民等各方阻挠。
女王送别安茹是无奈的选择,她的表白让女人在不由自主前的悲哀淋漓地表示出来。
