2024-02-18 The First Sunday of Lent 【Le Monocle de Mon Oncle-IV (1918)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) This luscious and impeccable fruit of life Falls, it appears, of its own weight to earth. When you were Eve, its acrid juice was sweet, Untasted, in its heavenly, orchard air. An apple serves as well as any skull To be the book in which to read a round, And is as excellent, in that it is composed Of what, like skulls, comes rotting back to ground. But it excels in this, that as the fruit Of love, it is a book too mad to read Before one merely reads to pass the time. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《我叔叔的单片眼镜·之四》(1918)】 异乡人·史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 这甘美无瑕的生命之果 似乎因其自身重力而落到地球。 当你还是夏娃，再苦涩的浆汁依然甜蜜、 清新，散发出神圣而馥郁的气息。 苹果像任何脑仁一样 成为阅读的书， 而且同样出色，毕竟也是由 像脑仁一样入土腐烂的东西组成。 但远非于此，那爱 之果，就是令人痴狂却无法 只为打发光阴而阅读的书。 【注】从44个站台数量和占地面积49英亩(=37个棒球场或28个足球场)来看，纽约城的中央总站堪称世界最大的火车站。1975年，该中央总站被纳入《美国国家历史遗迹名录》。 Today in History(历史上的今天): 2024: Church of Our Saviour, NYC(纽约城·救世主罗马天主教堂) 2024: St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery, NYC(纽约城·农场街光辉圣徒教堂) 2024: Street Swimmers on Park Ave, NYC(纽约城·公园大道街头游泳者) 2024: Shop for Mod Parka Post-Snow, NYC(纽约城·雪后选购棉猴大衣) 2024: Hutong in Awesome Setting, NYC(纽约城·非比寻常的“胡同”食府) 2024: Estela w/ One Michelin Star, NYC(纽约城·“星辰”米其林一星餐厅) 2018 Teachers' Appreciation Dinner(2018年光华教师答谢晚宴) 2017 MathCounts Regional Competition(2017年初中数学分区赛) 2015: Chinese New Year Eve @ Lai Lai Garden(来来花园春节年夜饭)
