12 Jesuit inventions and discoveries that might surprise you

Posted on August 2, 2017

 

Something to think about as you sit beneath the beach umbrella, sipping a G-and-T.

If not for the Society of Jesus, we would not be enjoying some basics taken for granted in the modern world. Nerdy academic Jesuits and their swashbuckling, globe-trotting missionary brothers have made significant contributions not only in astronomy, seismology, mathematics and technology, but also in theatre, botany, medicine and international cuisine.

何日君再来 When will you come again

Posted on March 15, 2016

Tr. YK Chan

沈　华 词 苑宏昭 曲 Shen Hua, lyrics; Yun Hongzhao, melody

张燕唱何日君再来

好花不常开 Beautiful flowers don’t always bloom
好景不常在 Beautiful sceneries don’t always show
愁堆解笑眉 Sadness desolates all smiles
泪洒相思带 Tears drench longing ties
今宵离别后 After we part tonight
何日君再来 When will you come again
喝完了这杯 Bottoms up then
请进点小菜 Please have a bite
人生能得几回醉 How often in life do we really get inebriated
不欢更何待 If you don’t enjoy life now, still awaiting what
来， Come on,
喝完这杯再说吧! Let’s finish this glass before anything else!
今宵离别后 After we part tonight
何日君再来 When will you come again
……………….
停唱阳关叠 Stop singing the farewell tune
重擎白玉杯 Cheering again with our precious glasses
殷勤频致语 Diligently and frequently we chat
牢牢抚君怀 I hold you tightly by your chest
今宵离别后 After we part tonight
何日君再来 When will you come again
喝完了这杯 Bottoms up then
请进点小菜 Please have a bite
人生能得几回醉 How often in life do we really get inebriated
不欢更何待 If you don’t enjoy life now, still awaiting what
哎！ Aya!
再喝一杯，干了吧！One more again, bottoms up!
今宵离别后 After we part tonight
何日君再来 When will you come again

秋水伊人 贺绿汀

Posted on February 20, 2016

秋水伊人 My Beloved On Parting Waters
Tr. Yiu-Kwok Chan 陈耀国英译

原唱：龔秋霞(1937年) Original singer: Gong Qiuxia (1937)
作詞：賀綠汀 Lyrics: He Luding
作曲：賀綠汀 Music: He Luding
編曲：丁曉理 Arrangement: Ding Xiaoli

望穿秋水，不見伊人的倩影
Looking far out on parting waters, the shadow of my beloved is nowhere seen
更殘漏盡，孤雁兩三聲
In the dying small hours, a lone crane whoops several times
往日的溫情，只換得眼前的淒清
Bygone passion has just been replaced by forlorn sights
夢魂無所寄，空有淚滿襟。 Continue reading →
