是雨过天晴吗?

近日心情总是懒懒的,要依着自己的性子,便会索性什么都不管什么都不顾。却偏偏被新生注册方案一改再改一调再调忧心不已。当别人问怎么办的时候也张口结舌,闹心极了。这些矛盾的情绪堆积起来,无端端生出厌世之感。

唯一的好消息是外婆终于要准备出院了。从乍闻车祸以为是擦伤到听表妹说外婆进了重症室拿着电话心痛得流泪不止,到现在终于可以出院了,不知道算不算雨过天晴。经此一役,可真真切切认识到伤病不是普通人丛精神上和经济上负担不起的。也许这世间唯一要求的,就“安康”二字而已。所谓“心想事成”,“万事如意”,都是多么奢侈的念想。商议再三,我还是没有随爸妈回泉州探望出院前的外婆。感觉自己没有这个精力折腾个来回,再精神抖擞的去应付即将到来的注册日的辛苦。

当生活的残酷变真实的时候,我其实没有想象中的勇气和能力去应对。当人失去自信的时候,也许就是我现在这个样子。

时光呀

最近常在看Flickr上Solar Ikon的照片。我一直在思考,为什么有的照片并不精致,甚至并不清晰,并不符合各种教材上说的构图、曝光、对焦规律,但是却能让人着迷。后来明白了,那些就叫做有情绪的照片,有故事的照片。

但,人为什么喜欢故事呢?

have U ever think about?

There’re so many lines in our life. Lead us, teach us: how to live in a city.
What if we cross? Is there any different?

you.. put up or shut up

Red: Can’t you just shut up?
Green: How can you talk without open your mouth?

晨曦

天光乍洩
頃刻間,充斥我的眼,吞沒我的身、我的影。
我心甘情願地臣服在天地的壯闊美麗。

somthing change…but something not..

亂中。有其不亂。然而思緒紛飛。如下班時的台北城街,塞,滿,但終究宣洩得掉的。

你這個分秒必爭的小人…

鬼鬼祟祟的….

night street

快步行過…遺落滿地交錯的光影
你 無意而漠然地
略過美麗

@忘憂森林

夜裡夢裡的那些星光點點
我希望我醒來還能看見
還能記得我為什麼害怕為什麼難過為什麼笑為什麼哭

鬼街燈火

@Beijing

be a fresh new start…

to be a new man, to be a better man.
that’s what I’ve been keep telling myself… keep going, every day is a fresh new start.

Time to ……

处暑。虽无强烈日照但溽热异常,人也跟着烦躁起来。这个短暂的假期啊!终于还是到了说再见的时候了。

田原-放声再见(选自2010年专辑)

歌词:

陌生的声音占据了时间
苍白的舞步跳遍了夏天
你盛开的双眼模糊了一切
放声再见
不是说出口就能够实现
不是不在乎就可以不受牵连
故事还没开始你要我如何出现
放声再见
我想我也许应该忘记你
剥开记忆发现你在那里就像从前
如果你还没有发现我
不如用尽所有力气对你说
放声再见 放声再见
放声再见 放声再见
放声再见 放声再见
放声再见 放声再见
我想我也许应该忘记你
剥开记忆发现你在那里就像从前
如果你还没有发现我
不如用尽所有力气对你说
放声再见 放声再见
放声再见 放声再见
无边的雨水打湿了视线
你沉默的幻想总不能实现
我用偷来的双眼看到了夏天
放声再见

One EskimO – Kandi (2010)

Posted in 哼一首歌 on August 11th, 2010 by Leena – Be the first to comment 196 views

四天隐居式的假期,一鼓作气补我的美剧功课,上一季的绝大多数剧集已经结束了,可我到现在才开始看后三分之一的部分,这之前的两个半月过的是什么样的日子呀!CSI:LV在两位主演离去之后我就再没跟了。CSI:NY里面的触摸式电脑证物台实在是太cool了。The Mentalist的Jane把独角戏演的越来越淋漓尽致了,豆瓣都无聊得在争论Chou到底是韩裔还是华裔,观众也好剧情也好都在Jane的掌握之中。The Big Bang Theory越来越有喜感,每集我都忍不住在那边傻乐一阵。CM的案情越来越酷,主角们也越来越冷静。NCIS和NCIS:LA相比,前者像故宫里的八宝盒,主角们之间的化学效应已经超过案情的精彩程度了;后者里的boss婆婆简直神人也!Bones是一个分离的结局,谁都知道明年又是一个重逢,但在这首《Kandi》的熏染下还是浸透了离别的伤感。

正如主唱Leontiou自己说的那样:“我想做我自己的声音,有魔力的,轻松的,恢宏的,有美感的,漂亮的和有意义的声音。我想通过我的音乐来抒发我对生活的感受,对爱的感受,对失去和失败的感受,对人生的高峰和低谷的感受,甚至心碎的感受。但我也想表达人类生活的神奇和对于我们存在的方式有多兴奋的感觉。”这是让人能打动人心的声音!

歌词:

You’ve been my queen for longer than you know
My love for you has been
Every step i take
Every day i live
Everything i see

And if i get things wrong
Don’t want you to think I’m running away
But i heard from Jo about this guy And i want to know

What did he say?
He called me baby, baby all night long
What did he do?
He called me baby, baby all night long

Why? Why? Why, did you need him?
Where was i?
Just how close to you is he?
Every smile you gave
Every touch you made
Every word you said

And it hurts beyond hurt
It was a love that blinds
And a love that stings
When i heard from Jo about this guy
And i want to know

What did he say?
He called me baby, baby all night long
What did he do?
He called me baby, baby all night long
What did he do?

He called you baby, baby all night long
What did he do?
He called me baby, baby all night long
What did he say?
He called me baby, baby, all night long
What did he do?
He called you baby, baby, all night long

I know he called you babe
All night long

[博文推荐]The Joy of Solving Problems

Posted in 我的推荐 on July 27th, 2010 by Leena – Be the first to comment 1147 views

原文地址:The Joy of Solving Problems

作者:Steve Pavlina

不想看英文的同志们可以直接看译言网的翻译:解决问题的乐趣

英文原文:

Life’s problems do not exist to beat you down. They exist to help you grow.

Do you ever go to the gym, stare at all the dumbbells lining the wall, and exclaim, “Dammit! Why are there so many weights here? I can’t possibly lift all of them! Look at how heavy they are! Why can’t they just have a few easy weights and let that be enough?”

Of course that sounds silly, but this is precisely how many people react to the various problems that surface in their lives.

“Dammit! Why do I have to be overweight? Why can’t I just be thin and fit? Why are there so many delicious foods that make me gain weight? Why does exercise have to be so hard? I’m so sick of being fat!”

“Dammit! Why does it have to be so hard to make money? How am I supposed to get out of debt when I can barely pay my bills? Why does it seem like every time I start to pull ahead, my car breaks down again? I’m so sick of being broke!”

“Dammit! Why can’t I find a girlfriend (boyfriend)? I’m a nice person, aren’t I? I’m tired of lame dates with total idiots! Maybe I should just be celibate. Why does this have to be so hard? I’m so sick of being alone!”

“Dammit! Why can’t I find a job I like? Why do I have to do stupid work I hate just to make money? What kind of life is this? How am I supposed to do what I love when I don’t even know what that is? I’m so sick of my job!”

Any of this sound familiar?

Problems as Obstacles

The attitudes reflected above depict problems as obstacles. They are roadblocks, annoyances, and irritations. They get in the way of living. They interfere with your peaceful enjoyment of life.

Given this mindset, you should do your best to prevent problems from arising whenever possible. If a problem occurs, it means something went wrong. It should have been anticipated and avoided. An unavoidable problem represents bad luck or a cruel twist of fate. Or perhaps it suggests you held the wrong thoughts and somehow attracted it via the Law of Attraction.

If you currently have problems on your plate, then you should try to eliminate them if you can. Aim for the delicious nirvana of a problem-free existence — everything in its proper place and nothing to worry about.

This is a terrible mindset to hold. The longer you think this way, the weaker you’ll become. This mindset puts you on a path with two primary branches.

The first branch leads to overwhelm. Eventually your life gets filled with problems you can’t easily solve. You’ll probably resort to some form of escapism to cope (such as via TV, web surfing, video games, excessive reading, alcohol and drugs, etc). You’ll get that slow sinking feeling that your life is slipping away from you. When new problems arise, you’ll become stressed, worried, or anxious.

The second branch leads to withdrawal. You gradually check out from the world in order to reduce the problems you’ll face. You may justify this with words like simplification and minimalism. If some part of your life gives you too much trouble, you try to surgically remove it. You probably live alone and have few friends. You favor work that’s easy, unchallenging, and unrewarding. The thought of living in a cave somewhere or meditating for days on end starts to sound like a good idea. All you want is peace, peace, peace, but you never seem to be able to stay there for long. Some annoyance always comes up.

There are other branches as well as variations of the two above, but for the most part, you’re either headed toward stressful overtraining or long-term atrophy. Either way, the longer you run these patterns, the weaker you become. Eventually problems that didn’t seem so big five years ago now feel like terrible burdens. “Dammit! Why did that light bulb have to burn out? Oh crap, I’m outta bulbs too. Now I have to go to the store. Ehhh… I’ll do it later. I just don’t have the energy to deal with this now.”

Problems as Opportunities

Let me offer you a different way of thinking about problems that’s a lot more empowering and a lot less whiny.

Problems do not exist to beat you down. They exist to help you grow stronger. Problems are like the dumbbells at the gym. If you attempt to lift them, you may feel tired in the short run, but you’ll grow stronger in the long run.

When you think about the various problems and challenges you’re facing in life, you may be tempted to assume that the goal is to reach the solution state — to get past the problem. But that’s a very narrow and largely disempowering perspective. That’s like saying that the point of going to the gym is to reach the end of your workout.

A more productive perspective is to consider that the activity of solving problems is what really matters. It’s the activity, not the final solution state, that helps you grow.

Suppose that one of your problems is that you’re broke and in debt. If so, I imagine that’s a problem you’d very much like to solve. You may feel desperate to arrive at a solution as quickly as possible. But the greatest value is found in the activity of solving this problem, not in the end result.

One of the reasons I’m doing well financially today is that I solved the problem of being broke about 10 years ago. It was definitely not an easy problem to solve. I had to go through a lot of difficult intermediate steps to become strong enough to solve it. I made many adjustments to my attitude. By lifting those weights, I grew stronger mentally, and my finances soon followed.

Consequently, I know that if I ever found myself broke at some point in the future, I could solve that problem again, probably much more quickly than I did the first time. Even though I have more to lose these days from a financial perspective, I don’t fear losing it. I know I have the strength to bounce back. My real gain wasn’t money. My real gains were inner strength, knowledge, and skill.

What would my life be like if I jumped instantly to the solution state without actually solving the problem on my own? Suppose I won the lottery. At first it might appear that all my financial troubles were solved. But I’d actually be in a far worse position.

As I was going through that period of financial scarcity, I prayed that I didn’t experience a cash windfall. I knew I had to solve the problem on my own. I didn’t want to accidentally get a big inheritance and rob myself of crucial financial lessons and training. When someone gave me lottery tickets as a gift, I got nervous because I was worried I might win.

It was hard dealing with some of those challenges, but I could see that my problems served a greater purpose. They were helping to train me up.

Another benefit is that by solving these problems for myself, I’ve been able to write many articles to share what I’ve learned. I couldn’t have done that if I bypassed all those difficult lessons.

Physical problems build physical strength. Mental problems build mental strength. Social problems build social strength. And all problems will on some level build spiritual strength (or strength of character).

This mindset has a positive long-term outlook. The longer you hold it, the stronger you become.

Problem-Solving Attitude Adjustment

I’m pretty sure I learned the value of problem solving from my Mom. For pretty much my entire life, she was a college math professor (and still is). She would often buy me books filled with problems to solve — math problems, visual problems, word problems, logic problems, etc. You can find these books in any local bookstore. That was her way of keeping me busy during summer vacation. :)

I grew to like these books, so I was exposed to lots of different problems as a child. At first I was baffled by most of the problems in these books, and I could solve very few of them. But I gradually got better.

When I was in the the fifth grade, I started learning BASIC computer programming, so that exposed me to even more problems. I began to see problem-solving as something to do for fun and as a way to get smarter over time.

By the time I was in high school, I really enjoyed solving interesting problems. If a teacher assigned more problems for extra credit, I would always do them — just for fun. It was almost an addiction. If I saw a problem, I got really curious and felt compelled to solve it.

Other students would sometimes come to me in the morning before school to ask for help with their math or science homework. And I’d help them. Often we weren’t even in the same class, but I had a school-wide reputation as a good problem solver. With the encouragement of one of my teachers, I also did some tutoring in math. That was even better because I got paid to teach people problem-solving skills.

One morning my physics teacher walked up to me at my locker before school and asked me to step inside his classroom. He presented me with a physics problem that he couldn’t seem to solve. I solved it easily, not because I was better than him at physics but because I’d been exposed to such an enormous variety of problems that my mind just saw the solution. That physics problem fit the pattern of a class of problems I already knew how to solve. My solution was unusual for a physics problem, but it wasn’t that unusual for a math problem.

During Christmas break in my senior year, I was bored during the two weeks off from school… partly because I had no serious problems to deal with. So I opened my calculus textbook and started reading ahead and working through some problems. I did it simply because I enjoyed the challenge.

After the holiday break (at the start of my final semester of high school), I went up to my calculus teacher and handed him a big stack of papers. I told him that during the holiday break, I completed all the homework he would assign for the rest of the year.

He said, “But how did you know which problems I’d assign?” I said, “I didn’t, so I just did them all.”

Typically he’d assign 12-15 problems from each chapter for homework. I probably did about four times that amount.

Of course that left my calculus teacher wondering, “Now what the heck am I supposed to do with Steve for the next five months? He’ll be sitting in class twiddling his thumbs the whole time.” He actually found creative ways to push me, giving me special assignments and take-home exams to do on my own. During classes, I mostly tuned out from the lectures and wrote a blackjack game for my programmable calculator. More problem solving.

It was only later in life that I realized how helpful it is to generalize this attitude beyond math, science, and logic problems and into the realm of practical daily existence.

For example, it’s no secret that I despise accounting work. I find it to be the most boring part of running a business. I outsource most of it by using an accountant, but you can never totally disengage yourself from the numbers and financial obligations when running a business… unless you’re in a position to request a government bailout because you’re “too big to fail.” ;)

Instead of resisting the accounting work, I decided to see it as a training exercise. The point isn’t to get to the end of the work and be done with it. The point is to use the work to grow stronger. Keeping the financial side of my business in good order helps me become more organized and efficient. I know that if I can get really good at managing the financial side of my business, that training will serve me well for many years to come.

I could outsource more of this work, but right now I don’t want to. It wouldn’t be a good idea to do that yet. This work is teaching me important lessons I need to personally integrate at this time in my business life. Otherwise I risk screwing things up when I have more money and more business complexity to manage. I can outsource more of it later, but right now I can tell that this training is still helping me get stronger. I have to master the 20-lb dumbbells before I can progress to 25 lbs.

Overcoming Overwhelm

If you’ve been slacking off due to escapism, when you pull your head out of the sand, you may find yourself surrounded by problems that seem too heavy to lift — deep in debt, a dead-end job, a sucky relationship situation, a big belly, no sense of purpose, etc. That’s okay. Just start with the lightest weights, and train up from there. As you clear some of those minor problems, you’ll begin feeling stronger and more hopeful. Eventually you’ll be ready to tackle some mid-sized problems… and then the really big ones.

Cleaning, organizing, and minor repairs are great places to begin. Straighten your desk. Clean the toilet. Organize one shelf. Clear your email inbox. Hang that picture. Remove the expired food from your fridge.

You can also use timeboxing for this. Set aside a fixed period of time, say 30-90 minutes, and just make a dent in some of your problems. When the time is up, you’re free to stop, regardless of how much progress you’ve made. I often use timeboxing for tedious tasks like cleaning up a hard drive that needs better structuring of its folders. I’ll chip away at it for 30 minutes every few days until it’s complete. That way the task never feels too overwhelming. The long-term benefit of dealing with little problems is that you get good at processing them quickly. My parents are masters at this. Every weekend they would tackle little problems in batches, so the house was clean, neat, and in good order at all times.

Think of a problem-solving session as a short workout for your mental discipline, much like going to the gym. If you conduct these problem-solving workouts regularly, you’ll gradually get stronger, and little problems will no longer seem so troublesome.

Getting Stronger

Solving problems increases your resourcefulness. The more problems you solve, the better you get at problem solving.

This attitude adjustment can be very effective. If you start seeing your problems as training exercises intended to make you stronger, you’ll be able to face your problems with a can-do attitude. You know it will be hard, and you accept that it’s supposed to be hard. The weight is supposed to be heavy, and the workout is supposed to be tiring. If it was too easy, it wouldn’t help you grow.

You may feel some stress and strain when you’re in the thick of a tough problem, but you’d feel the same way doing a tough workout at the gym.

Don’t bemoan your problems. Be grateful for them. They’re training you to become smarter and stronger. Learn to enjoy the training you’re receiving. Years from now you’ll be grateful you had to deal with these problems because of how much stronger you’ve grown.

Don’t resist resistance training. ;)

[博文推荐]不要让分数拖垮孩子的品格

Posted in 我的推荐 on June 16th, 2010 by Leena – 2 Comments 1173 views

文章来源:黄静洁Jane-快乐妈妈妙方——一个妈妈对于教育的思考

我在Ian学校里看到了被挂在走廊上图文并茂的“好品格”的宣传画

眨眼一年又过了,Ian的初一学年还有二周就结束了。他已经在为下学年升初二做课程选择了。他就读的国际学校校长认为:初中是横在小学和高中之间的一个过渡,是从少年成长到青少年的阶段,期间学校需帮助学生培养的最重要的三方面素质是:好的学习习惯,自我督促和学习的能力,再有就是好品格好性格(Building characters)。所以,校长提出为初中学生开设周一至周四的必读选修课,每天3P.M.~3:45P.M.。我想与大家分享一下儿子在20多门选修课中他选了哪些课目。

Ian自主勾选了8门他的意向课目,并依序做了偏爱程度的排名:1.校园环保 2、国际象棋 3、排球 4、广泛阅读 5、烹饪 6、漫画 7、校园记者 8、名著选读。在这8门选修课中Ian会被分配到4门课。拿到这张非成绩的“答卷”时,我蛮开心的,因为Ian交出了一份我们以前常说的“德智体”三方平衡的答卷。我相信这些涉猎广泛的尝试一定能激发出孩子的许多兴趣和潜能, Ian的自学能力、学习习惯肯定也会有质的飞跃。除此之外,这些看似只关乎兴趣、与课本知识想去甚远的课目,其实对孩子的人格情趣培养也十分重要。

宣传画上有这么句话很打动我:“做一个有品格的人”

记得,我们小学期间有门“思想品德课”,教孩子们“好好做人”的道理。但到了初中,就只剩为了应试而存活下来的“政治课”了,其中讲授无非是理论和应景的政治主题了。现在进入初中后,读书考试更成为孩子和家长唯一要拼的事情了,其它素质和情操都可为了分数被牺牲掉。而在儿子就读的这所学校却恰恰反其道为之,他们认为初中是孩子奠定综合素质的关键时期,所以宁可拿出每日45分钟的课时来做“选修”实践。几周前在他们校园里,我读到了图文并茂的“好品格”宣传画,它们被挂在走廊里,时刻在推崇优良品德,鼓励青少年自律学习,成为受人尊敬的有品格的人。现在来晒晒我看到的那六大“好品格”:

1。诚信做人


做人要诚实,不行欺诈的手段,不做鸡鸣狗盗行骗的坏事;说话做事要可靠,说到做到才能与人信服;有勇气去做你认为是对的事情;真心诚意地对待自己的亲人、朋友还有国家。

2。尊重他人


要获取别人的尊重,一定是从尊重别人开始:根据处事的原则,尊重他人;待人接物时,礼貌对人不恶语相向;善解人意,绝不做威胁甚至伤害他人的事情;学会忍耐与情绪控制,如遇无礼与敌意时,要用平和的手段处理不满,不让矛盾更加激化。

3。关爱他人


关爱他人,不仅表现为富有同情心,对需要帮助的人及时做出援救。而且还在于对自己曾得到的帮助、对他人表示感恩,且能够懂得宽恕的意义。

4。有公民意识


生活在社会中公民意识尤为重要。它包括,有合作精神;遵纪守法,有知情权也充分发挥自己的话语权;与邻里保持良好的关系,保护环境,尽自己的能力让学校和社会变得更美好。

5。有责任感


学校把有责任感的人解析为:能自律,自控;做自己该做的事;尽自己的所能坚持不懈,并不断尝试;三思而后行,并对自己的选择负责。

6。有公正心


公正心是很多躲在家长庇护下的中国孩子所普遍缺乏的。一个有公正心的孩子应该是时时依法律做事,懂得守序和分享,不违规不私吞。从不执拗的坚持一己之见,会聆听他人的声音。不会借利用他人的手段达到自己的目的,更不会狭隘地一味责备他人因粗心犯下的错误。

这六段戒训是多好的教育,而打动我的不只是学校能把这些文字做得五颜六色,而且能把这六段式戒训贯穿到每日的学校社区活动中去,那些选修也正好是分数之外的性情、品格和情趣的栽培。

反观国内教育界盛行的潜规则:为进名校孩子死拼解题,硬攻分数;父母塞小条托关系送大礼。进了学校逢年过节各家要向老师“进贡献礼”。今日午餐时我公司的一位妈妈告诉我她曾非常不屑“进贡”歪风,但看到自己的孩子屡遭老师“特别照顾”后,只能选择无奈服从,乖乖地“同流合污”了。为人师表的“园丁”怎么能让未入俗世的孩子过早地“入污泥”,“进泥沼”呢?

我们成人世界中早已遗失了这六条戒训,那么我们怎么能让下一代出淤泥而不染呢?父母都明白出了学校分数啥都不是,可是为了能进大学进名校,我们的父母正在被逼迫甚或主动地协助着,让分数拖垮一代人的品质品行和品德啊!

吴雨霏-爱过一场

我没找到下载也~~~就单纯试听好了!

歌词:

戒指已还给了你
却留下一道淡淡的痕迹
一个人在这城市
蓝色的心情飘着灰色的雨滴
你是我心中惟一
最初到最后忘了告诉你
离开早已千里又万里
为何还翩翩飞着那回忆
我曾经看到彩虹
落在某个幸福的地方
听到寂寞的脚步声
走过伤心的时光
虽然迎向太阳
爱是慢慢融化的翅膀
我们曾经努力的飞翔
hu……
戒指已还给了你
只留下一道淡淡的痕迹
一个人望着天空
蓝色的心情飘着灰色的雨滴
是否你也会想起
相爱到分离我们的感情
我的日子已不再有你
心中还翩翩飞着那回忆
我曾经看到彩虹
落在某个幸福的地方
听到寂寞的脚步声
走过伤心的时光
就算迎向太阳
我们努力拥抱过希望
至少我们爱过一场

Just Jack-The Day I Died(选自2009年专辑All Night Cinema)

注:点击歌名可以下载单曲试听

这是一首疯狂的歌呀!让我想起那部小制作的电影《Ghost Town》,我觉得有时候人的愿望就只是那么平凡而已,平凡的活着,平凡的死去,只因为有在乎的人,所以调调就这么温馨轻快起来了。

Lyrics:

Drag myself from my bed Around 20 past 6
6:20左右我很困难的起了床
Get my kids up make breakfast 1 egg 2 toast 3 weetabix
叫我的孩子起床,做的早餐是1个鸡蛋,2片吐司,3三个维它必克斯(一种早餐食用品)
And as I sit down I look up
我坐下的同时抬头看了看
And your standing in the doorway sun at your back
你站在门口,太阳在你的后方
in my old brown dressing gown
在我的旧棕色晨衣里
Well no one can love you more than I love you now
嗯,现在没人比我更爱你了
but I
但我
Gotta go running for the bus
要去一路跑着追公交车
Coat flying and i try not to miss it this time
外套都飞起来了,我试图不错过这班车
But the drivers waiting and that’s strange
Kids on the top deck quiet for a change
但是司机在等着,孩子们为了换换花样坐在上层车厢,这很奇怪
And theres no rain and no roadworks in the
Bus lane and all my hurts run away
在公交专用道没有一路下雨也没有道路施工,我所有的疼痛都消失了
And im smiling as I’m punching in
我微笑着打了(记录上班时间)的卡
Chorus
The day I died was the best day of my life (2x)
我死的那天会是我一生最棒的一天*2
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
everything will be alright
告诉我的朋友我的孩子我的老婆,一切都会好起来的
The day I died was the best day of my life
我死的那天会是我一生最棒的一天
Now the secretaries they got a smile for me
现在秘书们冲我微笑
and the in tray on my desks almost empty
我办公桌上的碟里几乎是空的
I get a memo from executive joe
我从主管joe(乔)那里得到一份备忘
saying Rob the gob is getting kicked out
for embezzling funds from the company account
那里面说rob(罗伯)那混蛋因为从公司账目里盗用资金被开除了
and i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t chuffed
我要是说我不高兴那我解释在撒谎
cos i always hated rob
因为我一直讨厌rob
and now they’ll probably offer me robs old job
而且现在他们可能会让我去做rob以前的工作
And in the park at lunch
我在公园午餐
Theres no whinos on my favorite bench
在我最爱的长椅上没有whinos(whinos什么意思我也不清楚)
none of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench
没有臭气熏天的酒鬼喋喋不休
and the 20 little pigeons with the gammy leg decide to dine from someone elses sandwich instead
那20之小鸽子和那个瘸子决定去要别人的三明治当午饭
and there’s something about the city today
like all the colours conspire to overwhelm the grey
这个城市今天有什么事情,似乎所有的颜色一起将灰色淹没
and this close to the fire I can feel no cold
这里离火很近所以我不觉得冷
but a rainbow halo around my soul
但是一个七色光环出围绕在我的灵魂
Chorus
The day I died was the best day of my life (2x)
我死的那天会是我一生最棒的一天*2
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
everything will be alright
告诉我的朋友我的孩子我的老婆,一切都会好起来的
The day I died was the best day of my life
我死的那天会是我一生最棒的一天

So I leave work get to the high street and i miss my bus
所以我下班去了大街上,错过了我的公交车
Should i wait for another no I can’t be arsed
我该再等一辆么? 不,我才不愿意
I begin to walk and rush hour crowd seem to part
我开始溜达,下班高峰期的人们似乎分流了
Like the red sea, and im stopping at the offy
这像红海,我在烟酒铺停下了脚步
20 cigerettes and a 6 pack to relax me
我用20只烟和1 6 pack 放松
And as I cross back over the street
我又回到了那条街
I guess i never saw that taxi
我想我没看见一辆计程车
I guess I never saw that taxi
我想我没看见一辆计程车
dodododododododoood!

Chorus
The day I died was the best day of my life (2x)
我死的那天会是我一生最棒的一天*2
Tell my friends and my kids and my wife
everything will be alright
告诉我的朋友我的孩子我的老婆,一切都会好起来的
The day I died was the best day of my life
我死的那天会是我一生最棒的一天
