July 06 Life in English(5)Dickinson, death, poetry lesson; Delta, reading...
先用中文占个地儿吧~主要是有一些东西的表达实在需要writing deliberately,自问我的英语暂时真的达不到那样的高度,也不想用我奇怪的英语抒情来insult各位小牛大牛们的英语水平。
Maylord is so nice...(呃...这是非诚误扰的效果么?“说母语吧”“Nice to meet you”)
OK, in Chinese:我现在一点儿也不后悔在暑假选了他的课,把英语专题课的4分全部投给了诗歌,因为这样温和、耐心和理解学生的老师实在已经太少见太少见了。在这样燥热的7月,在无比枯燥的iBT复习间隙里,在一直不怎么喜欢(虽然有好看的梧桐)的文史楼里,Maylord的课真的让人如沐春风;一个上午所能带来的小慰藉是我自己也绝没有想到的。
Thanks, Mei.
Though you will never read this.
(虽然Maylord自己觉得暑假大家都不认真了……但是我只有在暑假才真的有可能用心读一些诗歌相关的东西吧。Anyway,还是不愿意看到这么好的老师失望...Larene小朋友一定要更加努力才是。今天的Dickinson因为各种原因没有预习,十分愧疚...)
而我所能做的,除了尽其所能做好预习复习之外,也就是在bbs上不停的re贴来赞了。
以上算是抒情。正式内容一会儿呈现~
PS 小钢人儿,丛丛欢迎你~~ July 02 Life ? English--Words by Robert FrostI have been trying to find a suitable connective word between my life now and English. surround?--but I live in China, everybody around me speaking Chinese. in?--well, I always cannot stop the attempt to use my fluent Chinese. with?--that maybe better, yet nothing special.
Well, stop talking about the word selecting--something I never do well, even in Chinese writing. The main topic of today's blog is--Prose by R.F.
It seems that Maylord refined the prose by Frost. Maylord has his reasons, and I believe that what he has done is always proper--still, I'm lucky that I bought the old version.
Frost said:
We have no way of knowing that this age is one of the worst in the orld's history...All ages of the world are bad--a great deal worse anyway than Heaven.
The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom.
No tears in the writer , no tears in the reader.
The impression most useful to my purpose seem always those I was unaware of and so made no note of at the time when taken...we are always hurling exprience ahead of us to pave the future with against the day when we may Want to strike a line of purpose across if for some where. The line will have the more charm for not being mechanically straight.
All I would keep for my self is the freedom of my material.
Scholars and artists thrown togther are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ...but I suspect they differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by...poets...stick to nothing deliberaely, but let waht will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields. No acquirement is on assignment, or even self-assignment.
I really like these words... July 01 Life surround by English (3)--Larene's World in EnglishFROM now, I will write my blog in English, at least this month until the iBT exam; actually it is a little bit ironical that "a life in English" is presented by Chinese.
Quite clear about the fact that my English sucks, I still make the bold decision. After all, no one is born to be a native speaker of a non mother tongue. And the only thing I know is that I cannot accept my poor English writing skill, especially considering the time and efforts I have spent on it; at the same time, I will never be able to write satisfying work in English without confidence. So I have to practice and of course--"lose face".
Just laugh at me, every passer-by. So proud that you get some joy from my humble space...
(See? I constantly organize the sentence in a Chinese way...T_T)
Whitman today.
Powerful, the love everyone, realistic, details, and so many unfamiliar words...
Anyway, I did burst into tears when reading O Caption, My Caption for the first time.

Feeling indifferent today.
When analysing I Hear American Singing in today's lesson, Maylord said he thought that working with delight is an "ideal mental statement", which unfortunately, is lacked by most adults today.
But...
Larene is not happy because a happy ending always requires a tough process; thus we have to work very hard to get what we are pursing.
However, is the thing be pursed really the one I desire? If it is, the process during pursuit should be joyous as well.
Or it is just a goal which no sense actually...
Then Larene, do you truly love EH--Economic History?
What is your love, anyway? What is the sound of your heart?
Maylord, you confuses me.

Chinese again:Just finished the mail send to my pre-members, and this is a excerpt:
结合我原来学英国诗歌时候的经验:presentation要做的精心,但是不建议特别花哨,布局和各种效果要合理,要能让观众看清楚。如果是介绍性的内容最好清楚简明,千万不能念稿子...还有就是:先介绍生平,后进行作品赏析的组织方式用的同学太多了,所以可能不太出彩...
最重要的是一定要有自己的东西,比如理解,比如感情(当然这点可能难,Frost不是激情澎湃的诗人)。 强烈得觉得我上Maylord的课都快成精了...没办法,太用心了(好意思么你,上课从来不敢发言。不过我真的好好听呀,还记笔记,预习--跟上课用的时间差不多长,背诗...) June 30 与英语生活的日子(2)之开小差(1)——妖蛾子的一天初听王小柔的名字是在四五月份某个周末的晚上。适时坐在家里的书桌前有点儿心不在焉地受着各种严肃的经济学哲学书说教,看着他们得意地甩下一个个半懂不懂的理论一走了之,不禁心里发狠:你们等着,看我假期得了空怎么反戈一击!就在这个时候从广播中传出了王小柔的名字--补充背景知识:我妈是广播爱好者,尤其喜欢文艺之声。 没想到,心里终于安静下来,有了些许“放假可以好好看书”的感觉的时候,王小柔这名字冷不丁的又冒了出来。 于是就这么的,午饭后满脸伪学术气息的Larene同学抱着两本好不容易从闭架拿到的Frost(中途一时停电了,来电后进系统除了问题,不得不吃过午饭再来取),有点儿不伦不类地溜进了许久不见的文学阅览室,瞄着用钢笔在手上写下的索书号,终于见到了王小柔的代表作——《都是妖蛾子》。 出了文学借阅室门前就是一排黑色的皮椅子,坐下又开始看(还是椅子舒服啊~)。一边看一边重复着我减轻负罪感的老伎俩——看一会儿看看表,看一会儿再看看表……(原来当时我也知道这不对啊~)就这样又过了20分钟,当我正沉浸其中不能自拔的时候,突然发现一双脚走了过来,然后停在了自己面前——这是认识的标志?抬头一看大惊失色——呀,怎么是你?! 算了,闲话少说,还是学英语要紧。简要总结今天的妖蛾子还有:两次碰到小胡涛,临出人文社科区碰到芙杰,临出图书馆碰到昨天美国诗歌坐我左边的mm。。。 对书的评价: 然而最后临走,还是直接把书送到了总还书处——无他,只是什么时候就该做什么时候的事。王小柔离Frost,美国,诗歌,iBT这些关键字实在都太过遥远。所以为了思路的整洁和明晰,为了尽可能的专心致志,为了真的能给自己一个交代;原谅我,实在不能过长地保留她。 其实,既然是小差,那么开足一个下午+写出一篇文章的感想,应该也够了。 王小柔说60年代的人是中归中矩的,那么Larene就是20岁的皮儿+40岁的瓤+3岁的核。 忘了是谁说过,所谓好书就是看了之后让人想写点儿什么的。 June 29 与英语生活的日子(1)暑期学校第一天。
话说宿舍里还真是热,昨天晚上一直在擦汗中度过,迷迷糊糊的始终没有睡着。本来还抱着几分侥幸心理,后来余光瞥见了窗帘缝隙中露出的已经明朗的天色——完了,还真折腾了一晚上。
于是今天在课上面对Maylord的提问前言不搭后语,都不敢直视他老人家的目光...
还是客观一些吧,主要原因还是自己一个月基本没有碰过英语,至少半年没有说过英语,你要前言搭了后语那太阳升起的方位一定是不对的。
努力呀~学英语之路真是任重而道远...
停止检讨和反思吧。毕竟今天又能听到Maylord讲课了,怎么说也是值得开心的事~他总有让学生们嘴角上翘的本事~
小花絮:
课上到一半有一个很可爱的小女孩儿过来给Maylord送水~
讲着讲着课Maylord在讲台上发现了什么东西!开始还以为是猫(见得太多了)...后来才知道是一只小鸟儿,不知为什么不会飞了;Maylord将其送到了办公室。中午下课之后我又去办公室看过,当时已经没有人了,小鸟自己待在袋子里。不知道Maylord会怎么处理它...窃以为不能直接放归山林,有时间的话还是拿点儿小米之类的养一阵,等它自己能飞了放走最好~
小疑问:
梅先生是改名字了还是怎么的,居然没有介绍自己独特的英文名。(我这关心什么呢...)
用英音讲过美国诗还是有点小奇怪...
Maylord提到美国文学史上有三个人是international的,有点儿奇怪怎么没有梭罗呢...我是如此喜欢The Walden(哦不过,中文版没有看完;英文版甚至没有看过T_T)~
还是好好努力争取在课上active一些吧~只剩下7次课了...
19:29补记:
完全不敢相信。
只是一个月没有听,只是生词多了点,CBT的老听力段子现在 totally make no sense to me。
I've never felt so frustrated before, even in the exam-weeks I had to take the final-exam of nine courses and there are piles of materials left to read and recite.
I cannot figure out what had happend.
I don't know why.
Only 5 weeks left, but I even do not make it clear what I should do.
在xiaonei上说“实践顺利归来,iBT复习开始~”,可是你顺利得起来么你。
也许就是因为一直没有跟读吧。
也许因为一直没有真的take it seriously。
也许想着我11天9门都顺利完成了,一个iBT给一个月的时间复习,有那么难么。
可是larene你自己说,这个事情难道不难么。
关键是完全没有斗志,完全不知道自己要做什么。还在筹划班级聚会的事儿,还在算几点地就该收了,还在盘算什么时候去哪儿玩儿,还沉浸在一个差不多看的过去的成绩里。你完全没有做好要上Maylord的课的准备,要认真做一次pre和写一篇essay的准备,要在一个月之后参加iBT考试的准备;还有15号之前交考察详细提纲的准备,要做校长基金的准备。
Larene你能不能严肃一点儿紧张一点儿。
我已经紧张了3个多月了,我已经晚睡那么多天了。我考试完了之后就去实践就去考察,我前两天还在生病。
可是你没有累的资格。你自己给自己找了这么多事儿,选择的后果必须你自己承担。
我真的累了...
我该怎么办。
你能不能静下心来兑现你的承诺。
你告诉过自己,你要一个规划好的,健康的,有意义的暑假。
我要每天去锻炼,我一定不熬夜,我要每天在英语的世界中度过,我要早上去图书馆,晚上回来,过踏踏实实的一天。
这样的日子,多好。
这样的日子,就这么难么。
到底能不能少一些欲望,少一些无谓的追求。
Larene,你到底能不能只关注自己真正在乎的事情。 |
练习单词的时候还可以给贫困地区的孩子们捐米,考TG的孩子们来玩呀~
