Dong Qiao's Prose 董桥 1897Words 2018-03-18
one of It's very cold in the morning; I push the window but see the sky is hazy.There was a wind, and the street lamps flickered on and off among the trees.Three or two figures staggered past on the trail behind the mountain, talking loudly about family affairs in Cantonese, with a lot of organ language, damn it!Make a cup of coffee to keep out the cold.Clean out the pipe.Read anecdotes about British painter Sir William Russell Mlint and model Cecilia, and see Flint's watercolor paintings of nudes.Cecilia's skin is translucent, blown to pieces, and her thick long hair exudes the wildness of a gypsy, and she suddenly feels randy!This word cannot be translated. Once translated, it is elegant, but the original flavor will be lost if elegant.The English-Chinese dictionary translations of "lecherous" and "fornication" are all wrong!The translation is too deceitful. "Those three women are all from ordinary families, and they all have 12 points in terms of beauty, but they are not very good at the word fengliu."

second Ruth London sent a new year's card with a letter, saying that the book "Three Difficult Women" is very good, so you must read it.I read the biographies of British and beautiful writers in the early years, and the works of the women's liberation movement in recent years. I have been deeply moved by the "unhappiness" of women, and I dare not read more such texts. Godfrey Smith said in The English Companion that Britain has a queen, No. 10 Downing Street has a female prime minister, and even female judges in the court, female brokers in the exchange, and female academics in the high seats of Oxford and Cambridge, the British can tolerate , but the Women's Liberation Movement may not be satisfied, thinking that it is just a disguise to decorate the appearance, what can I say!The contraceptive pill, the Gender Equality Act, equal pay for equal work, and the Women’s Liberation Movement have all become reality; however, dewy couples, homosexual love, women’s communes, and nursery schools have destroyed the traditional consciousness of women’s groups; you can’t have both, and the old and new ideologies alternate It will inevitably cause confusion for women today.British women like Ruth are all middle-class intellectuals, who spend half their lives searching and cannot explain themselves. It is conceivable that they are depressed.Smith said that women have the right to choose "happiness" or "unhappiness"; Draw pie ears!Smith also said lightly: In the eyes of American men, British women are not as neurotic as American women, not as majestic as Soviet women, and not as troublesome as European women; they are still the "cup of tea" for British men.Macho chauvinism regards the women's liberation movement as a child's play, just like a father treats his little daughter by letting her occasionally ride on his back to amuse her.No wonder the famous actress Simone Signoret has an autobiographical title: "Stop the world I want to get off" (Stop the world I Want Get Off), half humble and half arrogant, expressing the millennium burden of women in one sentence!Aunt knows it, chatting about funding and talking about helping Yuner.

third In the afternoon, I went to the reception of the commercial firm, all four-eyed old, middle-aged and young elites in neat suits.After exchanging pleasantries with those involved, we will go.After dinner, I proofread Jiang Zhaoshen's poems under the light, and I liked that they could be retracted and released freely, advancing and retreating.Jiang Gong is proficient in all three arts, but he still ranks first in poetry, second in calligraphy, and third in painting.Fu Ye Jiaying letter.Record Michel Foucault's English translation publication materials and send them to old classmates.Thirty-eight pages of a Victorian obscenity book before bed, very good, very good.Over the years, I have used pornographic books to cleanse my sense of mission.Reading more ancient and modern obscene books in English can dilute the pedantic spirit of English in my writing; Liu Dianjue has lived in Britain for more than 40 years, and his English has reached the pinnacle.Tomorrow, I will write urgently to Xia Zhiqing and Liu Shaoming for verification.I have a dream in the middle of the night, I can't tell.

Fourth Walking back to the apartment from Hilton in the evening, I passed a flower shop and bought a bouquet of freesia.The British love flowers very much, and they are especially good at gardening. There are many sentences about flowers, cursive, materials and forests in literary works. George Orwell is full of nostalgia. He wrote an article discussing that the ancient and beautiful flower names in the folk have been changed to scientific names today. He is deeply moved: "Twenty years ago snapdragon was called snapdragon, but today it is called antirrhinum. It is impossible to pronounce it without looking up a dictionary. Forgetme-me- not gradually became myosotis. Others such as Red Hot Poker, Mind Your Own Business, Love Lies Bleeding, London Pride, etc. also gradually faded away and changed to botany The Greek scientific name in the textbook is so delicious!" Pastor William Keble Martin published his colorful introduction to British flowers, Concise British Flora in Colour, at the age of 87. The illustrations are all drawn by himself, and tens of millions of copies have been sold so far.A few days ago, I found a colorful flower and leaf print by Pastor Martin in Alison's antique painting shop. The mounting work is very exquisite, and the asking price is 300 Hong Kong dollars.Alison said that this painting has been booked for a British collector, which shows that the British love flowers.At that time, Prime Minister Disraeli was obsessed with primroses: the inventor of the Rolls-Royce automobile became an expert in growing roses;Britain is "the country of nympho", believe it.

fifth The second volume of the second issue of "Exlibris Magazine" was sent by the London Exlibris Association. It is very interesting to read page by page.Today there are still quite a few bookworms in China and abroad, all of them are simple and old-fashioned, without the air of clamoring and domineering, and most of them are scholars with academic achievements, and they finally have a little sustenance to teach people.I got a letter from Jizong from San Francisco, outlining the pain of moving house and books, pitiful! Sixth It's night insomnia.Sitting in the study and staring at a rack of broken books and half-walled old paintings, the memory is like an art museum after the catastrophe: not a single famous painting is left on the four walls, only the frame marks on the walls are left!After a while, I suddenly heard the laughter of men and women returning from the night outside the window, and I was so happy that I forgot my worries and me!Human wisdom and stupidity are passed down from generation to generation in this way.

lights out.Have a quilt.Close your eyes.wry smile. -- Written in Hong Kong
