與英語粵劇、鄭碧影有關的幾段文字__余晃英選輯
一. 華仁書院英語粵劇團 (一)
“The one extraordinary thing he did, or you might even call it his own invention, was the production of Chinese operas in English.” As soon as the war was over, people of all nationalities passed through Hong Kong and many wanted to see Chinese opera, with its magnificent costumes and the artistic movements and gestures of the head, the legs, the body and the eye, but they did not understand the movements and gestures because they did not know the language. Fr. Sheridan asked himself: “Why couldn’t the operas be done in English?”
愛生惜死的禪勇__江紹倫
普陀靜靈
我終於來到普陀山，一來為了靜，二來為了靈。從上海坐飛機到達舟山機場，然後坐渡來到島上，同行者是來自四面八方的參拜者，手携各自準備敬佛的寶物，心儀虔誠的尊敬。
島上空氣清新叫人感覺到異樣，熟悉的只有雜在微風中的咸味，夾着誘舌的海腥，叫人貪婪地急速吸入身內。不一陣，同來的人都不見了，留下寂靜及空曠，大海和遠山，以及無際的天空。怪不得到過此地的人都說普陀靜。至於靈，那出於不少傳說，最近者是第一代的革命者，那些堅信唯物主義和無神論的，皆一一到過此地參拜，求問事業進退，個人運數。試想，如是權强的感召力，也只有存在於普陀。
從主島外望，海那邊的一座山上悠然躺着一尊卧佛，閒懿無爭，只供人們讚賞。白雲飄過，向祂投下流影，好似撫慰着無名的苦難前身。雲過了，空寧淡靜一如，時間沒曾帶來任何變化。
……….
海明威和白求恩都不曾直接染禪。但是，他們愛生惜死, 畢生用取尊敬他人的精神燃燒生命，讓它發放奪目又普照人間的光輝。…..

從《易》至今的人本禪__江紹倫
變通與警覺
印度文明古國存有很高的智慧，佛教是其中的一部份。為何佛教傳入中國之後，迅速被中國化和世俗化，變成中國人的日用智慧呢？理由簡單。因為在此之前，中國早就有《易經》，智慧的經典。

今天，日本的大小城市都可見肅靜的禪院，那是第一層心的表現。不知要等到何時，鑒真和尚再世，可以叫日本人我心反照，排除矛盾心理，認識禪的自由深心，與亞洲人和全人類和平共相生息。
《漢江臨眺》 王維 (701-761)
楚塞三湘接 荊門九派通
江流天地外 山色有無中
郡邑浮前浦 波瀾動遠空
襄陽好風日 留醉與山翁
A View from the Han River Wang Wei (701-761) 江紹倫譯
Ford Chu sits where the three rivers meet
Around Mt Jingmen nine tributaries compete
The Grand River surges transcending heaven and earth
Colours on the hills appear and fade as time goes forth
Towns and burghs emerge on banks yonder
Reaching far into distant space waves and tides thunder
Enchanting is the scenery of Xiangyang in a day so fine
A good time to get drunk with my old chum staying behind
Pasta Sauce__David Wong
Sunday night dinner with the idiot cook and chief bottle washer 
Believing is your first mistake.
My recipes come mostly in proportions for different ingredients rather than exact measurements. The fact that most taste buds do not work the same way, it will be more flexible if we use proportions to come in with a likeable product. Besides it will be far less typing for me. Continue reading
Research on CHEEK KISSING__David Wong
My jaw dropped the first time when I was visiting Europe and I watched in amazement the way people greeted each other. They both approached each other with open arms, followed by a passionate caress and finally they kissed each other on the cheeks with great affection. It is never awkward or strange in the eyes of Europeans but for those who are strangers to this custom, but it is kind of uncomfortable. You do not know when to begin.

《送別》王維 (701-761)
山中相送罷
日暮掩柴扉
春草明年綠
王孫歸不歸
Parting Wang Wei (701-761) 江紹倫譯
Seeing you leave from up in the hills
I close my wicket door at dusk alone still
Spring grass will be green again next year
Will you return once again my dear
