Re: [color=blue]每日学英语[/color][M14] [M14]
今天一打开邮箱就看到在纽约工作时的老板Peter发来的邮件, 标题是Eastern Europe. 哈哈, 酷爱周游世界的Peter又跑到东欧去了. [M24]
扫了一眼第一段, 我几乎晕倒, 满眼都是陌生的单词, 晕 [M42] 遭此打击, 只好求助于金山词霸, 开始了艰难的阅读 [M20]
"I am somewhere above Austria right now, (*显然这邮件是在飞机上写
的) en route from Kiev (?原来是"基辅"!) to Vienna (?原来是"维也纳"!)
to change for Cairo. Vienna river - Danube (?原来是"多瑙河"!) , right?
From up here I can see the Danube in the distance (blueish maybe
as per the tune - maybe Strauss (搞懂了前面的多瑙河, 这个自然就明白
了-施特劳斯嘛!) being romantic of course or just some pre Soviet
pollution) but closer up there are several older rivers that now
actually aren't rivers at all but a series of old ox-bow lakes - except
they aren't lakes at all but patches of woodland that inhabit where
the lakes once were. Quite surreal (?超现实主义的)- like arboreal (?树
木的)handwriting."
真要多谢Peter啊, 这么短短一段话, 让我学会了N个单词 [M01] , 更让我的思绪随着他的文字飘到了遥远的东欧, 仿佛亲眼见到了那边的风景...... [M25] |
