Lovers 戀人 __ 江紹倫譯

Theme Music of:            House of Flying Daggers十面埋伏 (2004)

作曲:                                             梅林茂

Song sung by Kathleen Battle


There was a field in my old town  我家鄉有一塊田地

Where we always played hand in hand   那兒我們時常手牽手一齊玩HouseOfDaggers2

The wind was gentle touching the grass   和風吹拂着青草

We were so young so fearless  我們十分年輕又無畏

Then I dreamt over and over   然後我夢想一番二番

Of you holding me tight under the stars   你緊抱着我在星空下

I made a promise to my dear Lord   我向上蒼許下重誓

I will love you forever   我將永遠愛你

Time has passed   So much has changed   世事經過多少變遷

But the field remains in my heart  但那塊田地留在我心底

Oh where are you   哦你在哪裡

I need to tell you I still love you   我要告訴你我依然愛你

You fly around me like a butterfly   你像蝴蝶在我身邊繞飛

Your voice still echoes in my heart   你的聲音仍在我心中迴響

You are my true love  你是我真心的愛人

There was a field in my old town   我家鄉有一塊田地

Where in spring all flowers bloomed wide   那兒繁花在春天競開

We were chasing butterflies   我們曾經追捕蝴蝶

Hand in hand till close of day   手牽手直至黃昏

Your voice still echoes   你的聲音仍然迴響

In my heart   在我心田

A Little Journey on Cooking __ David Wong (64)

A little journey on cooking: pasta with baby clam sauce.Pasta_9

Many people have claimed cooking is difficult. They have a lot of questions, a lot of doubts and a lot of insecurity about the method, timing, and the procedure combinations. Let us go for a little tour of what we need to do to create something that is nutritious and easy.

Remembering Mr. Kong __ Fred Yip (71)

Having been taught by Mr. Kong for three years, beginning in Form 1 and ending in Form 7, I would feel gravelyFrancis Kong copy_1 amiss if I do not put in a word or two about the English teacher that I know and deeply respect.

I first entered Wah Yan in 1966 and Mr. Kong was teaching Reading in my Form 1C class. At that time, of all teachers, he was the most feared. Like a drill sergeant in the US Army that one saw in the films, he was very strict with us. He would make anyone who misbehaved in class stand on top of the desk or slap the palm of his hand with a ruler made of either wood or steel.  While he was teaching or reading a passage, nobody dared to chat.  Continue reading …

《Some tips for healthy hair》__ Eric Lam (69)

In the AGM dinner, there were some interests in preventing hair loss, preventing hair turning grey. Here are some tips that I can share for reference:

Coenzyme Q 10

Nelson Mandela and Invitus__江紹倫

RIP (13.12.05)

RIP (13.12.05)

Invitus                                                          不敗的心   威廉亨利

by William Earnest Henley                               江紹倫譯
(1849-1903)                                                                                   

Out of the night that covers me,                    渡着覊困漫漫長夜
Black as the pit from pole to pole,                  那陰陽極間的漆黑深淵
I thank whatever gods may be                       我感謝上蒼神明
For my unconquerable soul.                            賜給我不可戰勝的靈魂

In the fell clutch of circumstance                   身陷生死關頭
I have not winced nor cried aloud.                 我從不畏縮或喊嚷
Under the bludgeonings of chance                   縱受困於無情控制
My head is bloody, but unbowed.                   我血破的頭不曾俯屈

Beyond this place of wrath and tears                 憤怒與哭泣以外
Looms but the Horror of the shade                    瀰漫着地獄般的恐怖
And yet the menace of the years                      不過面對無盡威迫
Finds and shall find me unafraid.                      我堅持無懼

It matters not how strait the gate,                   不管牢閘如何緊閉
How charged with punishments the scroll,       不管罪狀何其殘苛
I am the master of my fate:                              我是命運的主宰
I am the captain of my soul.                              我是靈魂的舵手

“This poem had accompanied Nelson Mandela in a tiny prison cell for 27 years. It helped him to endure all the hardship and fear to become a man without fear. He got elected the first president of free South Africa. He conquered a nation of hate and turned it to a nation of tolerance, hoping to achieve harmony one day. All these are seen in the movie Invictus.” __ 江紹倫

肥福日記

(Through Rose-Coloured Glasses)

X 月 X 日

我悶, 很悶, 悶得發慌。

望出窗外, 那批群情洶涌的記者羣, 早就不見了。不能再大聲喝駡他們: “給我滾開, Get Off My Driveway!” 再沒有那刺激感, Adrenaline Surge。

回到市政聽, 也少見到那批 Paparazzi, 記者羣。再不需要有如摩西過紅海, 把記者人海往兩边分開, 衝撞而過, 有形, 真威!

唉, 曾幾何時, 今時唔同往日, 早已門堪羅雀矣。

正所謂: 辦公室門閒不用, 終日誰来 ?

 

X 月 X 日

午間, 省長 Kathleen Wynne 会見了副市長 Norm Kelly。我早就發了信抗議, 這是 City Hall 宮庭政变, 成批 councillors 籠裡鳮造反, 奪權篡位, 我才是掌門人, 市民选出来的真命天子。

但這又有如投石大海, 他們都借咗聾耳陳隻耳, 一於少理。

嘆一句: 別時容昜見時難, 流水落花春去也, Vodka, Crack Cocaine!

 

X 月 X 日

受奸人所害, 要靠边站, 但我仍然是不倒翁, 有誰夠我威!

Weekend 去看 NFL 足球賽, 就萬人空巷来欢迎我, 要拍照留念, Hell Angels included,  威盡。

哈! Newsweek 剛宣報, 我是 2013 年的‘Newsmaker of the Year’, 是熱辣辣的新聞人物。

係人都識我啦, 全無敵。

你們这批反骨仔女, 等着瞧吧! 到明年大选, 我一坐正, 我就要大開殺界, 殺过片甲不留。

殺, 殺, 殺, 殺, 殺, 殺, 殺

 

X 月 X 日

深夜的脫口秀, 不再以我為題材, 無哂癮。

CNN, Fox 等電視台都作过訪問。 Been There, Done That.

連自已名下的廣播節目, SUN電視節目, 都被取消。

終日無所是事, 聽吓市民投訢电話, 又一天矣。

現正密鑼緊鼓, 希望能利用 YouTube, 再東山復出; 兩兄弟又能互相吹牛, 大事宣傳。

照走勢看来, 以後可能大有机会, 進軍荷里活, 再世 John Candy 来也。

 

X 月 X 日

亜媽話, 只要我減肥, 就能萬事無憂了。

亜媽, 不用担心, 我保証: I am not an alcoholic; I am not addicted to crack cocaine.

Why? 無他, 我找到了新的癮頭, I am addicted to power, to my celebrity fame, 出盡風頭, 真过癮。

我深深感受到我吸引人的昧力, 陶醉在我 bloated 的 ego.

正是: 數風頭人物, 还看今朝。
