三、Words Focus
1、Please Say Again I Love You
《请再说一遍我爱你》
Say it again please say it to me again say I love you
Even if it repeats over and over again
You'll see it as a cuckoo song
Remember in the green hills and green forests in the valleys and fields
If it lacks those cuckoo syllables, even if the fresh spring
Coming in a green suit is not perfect
说了一遍 请再对我说一遍 说 我爱你
即使那样一遍遍地重复
你会把它看成一支布谷鸟的歌曲
记着 在那青山和绿林间 在那山谷和田野中
如果它缺少了那串布谷鸟的音节 纵使清新的春天
披着满身的绿装降临 也不算完美无缺
Love is so dark around
Only the throbbing of the heart can be heard
in that painful unease
I yelled, say it again, I love you
Who thinks there are too many stars, every star is spinning in space
Who would think that there are too many flowers? Every flower is full of spring
Say you love me, you love me, ring the silver bell
Just remember that you have to love me with your soul in silence
爱 四周那么黑暗
耳边只听见惊悸的心声
处于那痛苦的不安之中
我嚷道 再说一遍 我爱你
谁会嫌星星太多 每颗星星都在太空中转动
谁会嫌鲜花太多 每朵鲜花都洋溢着春意
说 你爱我 你爱我 一声声敲着银钟
只是要记住 还得用灵魂爱我 在默默里
2、Spring
《春天》
I don't like spring
How I want to tell you
First ray of spring
Round the corner of the street
Hurt me like a knife
Bare branches
in the bare earth
Cast dark shadows
Make me upset
春天我不喜欢
我多么想告诉你
第一缕春光
拐过街道的墙角,
像利刃一样伤害我
光裸的枝桠
在光裸的大地
投下的暗淡的影子
叫我心烦意乱
I also seem to be possible
Should
Get regeneration
Your coming
Make the grave no longer seem safe
Ancient spring
You are crueler than any season
Everything is resurrected because of you
Destroyed by you
我也仿佛可能
理应
获得再生
你的来临
使坟墓也似乎不再安全
古老的春天
你比任何时令都更加残酷
万物因你复苏
又因你毁灭
四、World Culture
1、Turkish bath culture
土耳其浴文化
In the authentic hammam, there is a special group of masseuses called Tanrak. When the bather stretches his limbs and lies on the belly stone, the masseuse with his hands covered with olive oil pushes, kneads and presses on him, making the skin of the whole body reddish and the blood flowing smoothly.
在正宗的土耳其浴室内,专门有一批称之为“坦拉克”的按摩师。当沐浴者舒展四肢躺卧在“肚皮石”上,双手涂满橄榄油的按摩师便在他身上推、揉、按,使全身皮肤微红,血脉流畅,顿觉浑身轻松,舒适无比。
Most of the Turks bring a rich food box into the bathroom, which contains mutton skewers, kidneys, yogurt, hazelnuts and other dried fruits. After the bath, old and new friends get together to chat while eating and drinking. These bathroom dinners tend to last nine hours. Then they went back to their single room in the locker room, and had a good night's sleep, and didn't go home until the sun went down. The hammam also accommodates women, generally serving men on several days of the week and women on other days. Some bathrooms have two bathrooms for men and women, and receive both men and women. Ladies have their own way of bathing. They sat on the stone bench and first showered them with a copper basin filled with soapy water from head to toe, and then had the waitresses shower them with clean water 7 times, which is said to be in accordance with Islamic rules. Women also prepare food boxes, and after bathing, they invite their friends to taste their own dishes to show their superb cooking skills and learn from each other.
土耳其人进浴室大都带一个丰盛的食品盒,装着羊肉串、腰子、酸奶、榛子等食品干果。沐浴后,新朋旧友聚在一起,边吃喝边聊天。这种“浴室聚餐”往往持续九小时。然后各自回到更衣室的单间,美美地睡上一觉,直到太阳西下才回家。土耳其浴室也接待女士,一般是在一周的几天为男客服务,另几天为女客服务。有的浴室开设男女两个浴室,同时接待男女客人。女士洗浴,有她们独特的方式。她们坐在石凳上,先用盛满肥皂水的铜盆,从头到脚冲淋一通,然后让女侍者用清水沐淋7次,据说这也是按照伊斯兰教的规矩。妇女们也备食品盒,沐浴后,她们请朋友们品尝自己做的菜肴,以显示烹饪技艺的高超又可以相互切磋。
The Chaoglu Baths in the Old Town of Istanbul, Turkey's most famous baths, were built in 1714. In the 19th century, the British painter Thomas Aaron visited here and painted the famous copper engraving of Ciaaolu Bathroom.
伊斯坦布尔的老城区的恰阿奥卢浴室,是土耳其最著名的浴室,建于1714年。19世纪英国画家汤姆斯阿隆曾来此游历,绘制了大名鼎鼎的《恰阿奥卢浴室》铜版画。
2、French coffee culture
法国咖啡文化
Since 1686, businessmen from Sicily, Italy, came here to set up the first coffee shop, the coffee shop in Paris has been thriving. Inside and outside of Paris, there are cafes almost everywhere on sidewalks, squares, gardens, and business is booming.
自1686年,意大利西西里岛的商人来到这里创办了第一家咖啡馆后,巴黎的咖啡馆就一直兴盛不衰。在巴黎城内外,人行道、广场、花园,几乎无处不是咖啡馆,并且生意异常红火。
Coffee is inseparable from French life, from milk coffee with croissants for breakfast to afternoon tea for French office workers, coffee accompanies French life, and it is not surprising that coffee shops are everywhere. The French coffee culture has a long history, and it is not as simple as eating and drinking. A cup of coffee with an afternoon of sunshine and time, this is typical French coffee, it's not the taste that matters but the attitude and style. French people pay attention to the environment and mood when they drink coffee. They read, write and talk at the small coffee table by the roadside.
咖啡与法国人的生活密不可分,从早餐的牛奶咖啡搭配羊角面包,到法国上班族的下午茶,咖啡伴随着法国人的生活,对于遍布各处的咖啡店就不足而奇了。法国的咖啡文化源远流长,绝非吃喝消遣般简单。一杯咖啡配上一个下午的阳光和时间,这是典型的法式咖啡,重要的不是味道而是那种散淡的态度和做派。法国人喝咖啡讲究的是环境和情调,在路边的小咖啡桌旁看书、写作,高谈阔论。
Since the 20th century, cafes have often become centers of social activity, clubs for intellectual debates, and a typical symbol of French society and culture. Wind-swept awnings, busy waiters and, of course, a laid-back organ are the hallmarks of French cafes. These cafes were born in Place de la Concorde, Champs-Elysees, Montmartre and Montparnasse, and then went on to glory.
自20世纪以来,咖啡馆往往成了社会活动中心,成了知识分子辩论问题的俱乐部,以至成了法国社会和文化的一种典型的标志。随风飘扬的遮阳棚、忙碌的服务生、当然还有悠闲的风琴,这些都是法国咖啡馆的特色所在。这些咖啡馆在协和广场、香榭丽舍大街、蒙马特和蒙帕那斯诞生,而后走向辉煌。
