珊蒂寫字樓

這個周末去台中玩了一圈，行程相當簡單輕鬆，

去了柏欽的實驗室參觀，柏欽煮蕃茄培根義大利麵給我吃，

我在旁邊邊等邊流口水，

終於吃到的時候心裡有一種感動，

拱賣~~~~~~~~~~超好吃的啦！

有新鮮蕃茄和大蒜的香味，淋醬的濃度適中，滿分！

麵條軟中帶Q，有咬勁又不黏牙，滿分！

差點有衝動想打包剩下的醬回家呢。

在實驗室等另外一群朋友的時候，

又聊了一些彼此生活上的事情，

平常大家都很忙，能夠這麼放鬆的聊聊天、唱唱歌真是不容易！

柏欽唱了超時空要塞裡面的歌，不過怕吵到同學沒辦法很放開的唱，

有點小可惜。

最後去他的宿舍小待了一會，

以男生的宿舍來講，可說是頗為乾淨整齊~~

唯一美中不足的是浴室這麼大，竟然沒浴缸！

真是暴..殄..天..物啊！

最後參觀了柏欽的轉蛋食玩收藏，還A了幾集Keroro回家！

有吃又有拿，有點不好意思ㄋㄟ~~~

後來君輔他們來找我的時候迷了路，找了半天都找不到柏欽家，

沒想到真的被柏欽說中了，君輔是北屯人，

真的這麼不熟嗎？不都是台中市？

去了君輔家，他的家人都很好，半夜都12點多了，

還叫他們家的狗Lion玩裝死給我們看，

大家的玩興起來，跟狗狗玩丟飛盤玩到快要半夜一點才上樓準備睡覺。

這次去台中玩的很開心，

跟幾個很久沒碰面的朋友一起吃飯，

逛一中夜市，隔天去爬地震公園的步道，

時間雖短，卻吃到了許多好吃的東西，

也和一群好朋友有了新的回憶，

謝謝柏欽花這麼多時間和我一起聊天、吃飯、等朋友，

謝謝君輔的把拔跟馬麻幫我們準備了很舒適的住宿環境，

謝謝煇煇這一天的照顧和陪伴，

也很高興認識了小唐跟阿梨兩個新朋友。

台中的天氣很溫和，穿著一件長袖走在步道上還微微地流了汗呢，

沒想到下午三點回到淡水時，天氣已是如此冷冽，

讓我好想搬到有溫暖人情味跟陽光的台中去喔！

錄音稿：Text

1.

The airport is far away from the city and it’s a pretty horrible place. It’s very crowded and there are not many facilities there. You know, like stores or restaurants. Anyway, my flight was okay. It was a bit bumpy, but it left on time. The food was awful, though. It was dry and tasteless. The service was fantastic. The flight attendants did their best to make everyone feel comfortable. The worst problem was the other passengers. The plane was full of loud college students on their way to spring vacation in Florida. Next time I won’t travel during spring break!





2.

It must be one of the best airports in the world. It’s full of stores and restaurants, and they even have a gym and a swimming pool there. The flight was great, too. It was very smooth. The food was so-so. I thought they would serve better food. The service wasn’t good. The flight attendants were really impolite. Next time, I’ll try a different airline, maybe Goldstar Airlines.





3.

The airport is okay I guess. It’s really small, but it’s near the city. The flight was great—nice and smooth. I had my own TV screen and I could choose my own movies. The food was fantastic. It was a spicy meat dish with some very nice vegetables. The only problem was the service. It was very slow because I was sitting right at the back of the plane and it took the flight attendants a long time to reach me. They weren’t very friendly, either. Next time I’ll try to get a seat near the front of the plane.





4.

It isn’t one of my favorite airports, but it’s okay. The airport is always very crowded and it takes a long time to check in and go through immigration. Other than that, it’s all right. The flight was pretty awful. As soon as we took off, we ran into bad weather and it became very bumpy. The food was great. They served a really nice chicken dish. The flight attendants were really nice. I think the next time I fly I’ll check the weather report before I leave. If the weather looks bad along the route, I won’t fly.

A: Excuse me. These headphones don’t seem to be working properly

B: Really? Are you hearing any sound at all?

A: Yes, but it isn’t very clear.

A: Sure. That’s fine.





2.

A: Excuse me, I can’t find the safety instruction card.

A: I wonder if I could change my seat.

B: Oh, is there something wrong with it?

A: Well, I can’t see the TV screen very well from where I’m sitting. I’m too far away

B: Oh, I see. Do you mind waiting until all the passengers have boarded the airplane? After everyone is on board, I’ll see if I can move you to a different seat.

A: That’s fine. Thanks very much.





4.

A: Excuse me. I think there’s a problem with my seat number.

B: What’s wrong?

A: I should be in business class, but this seat number is for a seat in economy class.

B: Could I check your ticket, please? Yes, I see the problem. You should be in seat 2A, not in seat 22A. I’m so sorry Come with me now and I’ll find your correct seat in business class.

歌曲背景介紹：



這支Say You Say Me 是Lionel Richie的代表作之一，

最早收錄於1986年的專輯Dancing on the Ceiling當中，

這首歌是他應邀為電影「飛越蘇聯」（White Nights）

譜寫一首同名的主題曲。他花了兩個星期的時間，發現自己

無法寫出那樣的一首歌，不過倒是譜成了另外一首他覺得可能

很適合該片劇情的歌曲，那也就是「Say You, Say Me」。

導演聽過之後，也非常喜歡，因此決定放在片子結尾。

結果，這首歌不但勇奪冠軍，更囊括了奧斯卡與金球獎雙料

的「最佳電影歌曲」。由於歌曲使用權的關係，

「Say You, Say Me」當年並沒有收錄在「飛越蘇聯」的

原聲帶專輯中，而出現於萊諾李奇1986年的第三張

個人專輯「Dancing on the Ceiling」裡面。

Say you, say me   Lionel Richie

Say you, say me (還沒想到怎麼翻)

Say it for always

不停的說

That's the way it should be

本來就該這樣

Say you, say me

Say it together naturally

自然而然的談在一起

I had a dream

我做過一個夢

I had an awesome dream

一個可怕的夢

People in the park

公園裡的人們

Playing games in the dark

在黑暗中玩遊戲

And what they played was a masquerade

他們在玩化裝舞會

And from behind of walls of doubt

在那疑惑之牆的後面

A voice was crying out

有個哭喊的聲音

As we go down life's lonesome highway

我們的人生是條寂寞的公路

Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two

最困難的是找到一、兩個朋友

A helping hand - someone who understands

能伸出援手、真正了解你的人

That when you feel you've lost your way

當你感到迷失方向

You've got some one there to say I'll show you

有人會告訴你讓我來幫你

So you think you know the answers - Oh no

你以為你知道了答案

Cause the whole world has got you dancing

因為全世界使你翩然起舞

That's right - I'm telling you

沒錯，告訴你

It's time to start believing - Oh yes

該是相信的時候了

Believing who you are : You are a shining star

相信你自己：你是顆閃耀的星

這首歌送給狗狗！

很溫暖的一首歌，請跟女朋友一起分享^^



專輯名：《Martina》

演唱者：Martina McBride

發行時間：2003年9月30日

發行公司：RCA

音樂風格：Contemporary Country（當代鄉村）



這首歌是由Martina McBride和鄉村音樂的天后級人物Faith Hill共同合作，

鄉村音樂界最出色的兩名女歌手共同演唱的作品。



Martina McBride說："我每次聽到這些音樂的時候，感覺都像回家一樣。

我制作專輯的時候根本沒有考慮商業因素，僅僅是憑著對音樂的愛。"



她的歌聲真的非常溫暖，把MV的情節表現的很出色，請大家細細品味。





Martina McBride ~ God's Will



I met God's Will on a Halloween night

He was dressed as a bag of leaves

It hid the braces on his legs at first



His smile was as bright as the August sun

When he looked at me

As he struggled down the driveway, it almost

Made me hurt



Will don't walk too good

Will don't talk too good

He won't do the things that the other kids do,

In our neighborhood



I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin'

Lost and lookin' all my life

I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated

I've wrestled wrong and right

He was a boy without a father

And his mother's miracle

I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin'

I guess I would be still

Yeah, that was until

I knew God's Will



Will's mom had to work two jobs

We'd watch him when she had to work late

And we'd all laugh like I hadn't laughed

Since I don't know when



Hey Jude was his favorite song

At dinner he'd ask to pray

And then he'd pray for everybody in the world but him



Before they moved to California

His mother said, they didn't think he'd live

And she said each day that I have him, well it's just

another gift

And I never got to tell her, that the boy

Showed me the truth

In crayon red, on notebook paper, he'd written

Me and God love you



I've been searchin', prayin', wounded, jaded

I guess I would be still

Yeah that was until...

I met God's Will on a Halloween night

He was dressed as a bag of leaves

這首歌我在四個班都放過吧？！

沒辦法，就是狂愛這首歌！

歌詞很好笑之外，

旋律也挺讚的，就是有讓人心情好的本事。

先介紹一下Robster，

他最剛出道時是英國爆紅偶象團體 Take That 接招合唱團的一員，

後來Take That解散，團員Mark Owen 和Gary Barlow 各自出了唱片，

剛開始Robbie的幾張單曲都失敗了，

於是Robbie開始了戒毒品、戒酒的計劃，

終於將形象挽回一成，

後來這些團員中Robbie賣的最好，可能因為他最搞怪吧，

動不動就在MV中露點啦，露屁屁啦，

讓一向ㄍ一ㄥ到不得了的英國人有了宣洩的管道，

所以他現在已經成為英國最ㄏㄤ的藝人之一囉！

Supreme是2000專輯Sing When You're Winning的其中一首，

在今年Oct.21出的精選Intensive Care又再次收錄了這一首，

廢話不多說，來聽歌吧！

Oh it seemed forever stopped today

天長地久似乎在今天結束

All the lonely hearts in London

Caught a plane and flew away

倫敦寂寞的芳心都搭上飛機飛走了

And all the best women are married

所有正妹都結婚了

All the handsome men are gay

所有的帥哥都是gay

You feel deprived

你覺得沒希望了

Yeah are you questioning your size?

你怕自己太大還是太小嗎?

Is there a tumour in your humour,

你的幽默感長瘤了嗎？

Are there bags under your eyes?

你老到有眼袋了嗎？

Do you leave dents where you sit,

你胖到到墊子都凹下去嗎？

Are you getting on a bit,

你是不是想太多了？

Will you survive

你活得下去嗎

You must survive

你得活下去啊

**When there's no love in town

當這個城市裡找不到愛

This new century keeps bringing you down

這個新時代讓你感到沮喪

All the places you have been

去過的所有地方

Trying to find a love supreme

你都不停在尋找摯愛

A love supreme

你的摯愛

Oh what are you really looking for?

你到底在尋找什麼

Another partner in your life

找你生命中的另一半

to abuse and to adore?

來虐待還有敬愛?

Is it lovey dovey stuff,

你是我溫柔的小可愛嗎？

Do you need a bit of rough? 

你需要我再熱情一點嗎？

Get on your knees

跪下來求我吧

Yeah turn down the love songs that you hear

把你聽的情歌關掉

'Cause you can't avoid the sentiment

That echoes in your ear

因為你擺脫不了那些迴蕩在耳中的感傷

Saying love will stop the pain

說愛能讓痛苦平息

Saying love will kill the fear

說愛能驅除恐懼

Do you believe

你相信嗎

You must believe **

你必須相信

I spy with my little eye *註

Something beginning with (ah)

我要猜的是一個用(ah~)開頭的東西

Got my back up

我挺直我的背

And now she's screaming 

她在尖叫了

So I've got to turn the track up

所以我得把音量開大

Sit back and watch the royalties stack up

我現在只要放鬆等著回收就行了

I know this girl she likes to switch teams

我認識這個女孩，她很愛劈腿

And I'm a fiend but I'm living for a love supreme

我是一個壞蛋，但我活著是為了要有最棒的愛

ps. I spy 是一種猜謎遊戲，在心裡想一個周圍有的東西，

然後說 I spy with my little eye something with ~~~

其他人就要猜那是什麼，猜不到就繼續給更多暗示，

最早猜出來的勝。

不知道大家昨天看新聞的時候有沒有注意到，中視和民視主播都有在胸前

別上紅絲帶。

今天和大家聊聊紅絲帶的故事：

紅絲帶這個愛滋象徵符號的開始，《紅絲帶方案》(The Red Ribbon Project)

源於1991年4月在紐約的看見愛滋( Visual AIDS)協會。 



這個慈善團體是由一群熱愛藝術的人所組成，他們希望能用他們

所擁有的才能與資源，為這個全球大流行的疾病貢獻一份心力。

由於這些團體多年來積極宣傳及推廣，全世界的觀眾都曾在奧斯卡、

艾美獎和葛萊美獎等大型頒獎典禮轉播時，看到與會的巨星身上

配戴的紅絲帶。紅絲帶鮮明且重大的意義，藉由熱心人士的支持

並透過電視媒體的力量，讓國際間關懷愛滋議題的人有了共同的語言。

紅絲帶的胸章，象徵著希望，並且代表一起為愛滋爭戰努力，

因為這個世界上有太多太多的愛滋受害者生活在不安與痛苦之中，

紅絲帶讓我們表露著對愛滋病患感染者及其照顧者的關懷與接納，

給予他們身心上的支持與鼓勵。

不論是社會的支持，治療方法的研究，

大家都是為了和這個人類的一大競敵抗戰，

無論如何，大家都會一起和它奮戰到底，

希望你也能一起加入這個世界愛滋的行列，

和整個社會一起對抗愛滋。

為什麼在12月1日繫上紅絲帶？

世界衛生組織（WHO）明文規定每年的12月1日為國際愛滋日，

世界愛滋日從西元一九八八年的十二月一日開始。

十二月一日這一天，是一個愛滋病患以及其身邊的人要團結一致的日子。

因為對這些人來說，每一天都是世界愛滋日，

而我們也要用關懷的心來關心這一群人以及這個社會，

並且讓愛滋病可以不再繼續的在人類之間殘害下去。

AIDS到底是什麼？會有什麼症狀？

AIDS就是Acquired immune deficiency syndrome的縮寫，

中文譯為後天免疫缺乏症候群，俗稱「愛滋病」。

它是一種傳染性疾病，由人類免疫缺乏病毒(HIV)所引起的。

此種病毒會破壞人體自然的免疫系統，導致免疫力的減弱，甚至喪命。

在正常情況下，人體的免疫機能可以對抗很多疾病，使之不致於受到感染。

一旦免疫系統被壞，很多正常情況下不該感染的疾病也會因之而發生，

即所謂伺機性感染，如肺囊蟲肺炎、巨細胞病毒感染、黴菌感染．．等等。

感染人類免疫缺乏病毒後其潛伏期長短不一，依現有病例看來大約是經過

半年到五年或更久才會發病，有些只會產生輕微的症狀，不易察覺，

而成了感染者，但會將病原再傳染給別人。

是不是每一個感染了人類免疫缺乏病毒都會成為感染者或發病呢？

感染者是否經過半年到五年都可能發病？目前都還在研究觀察中。

愛滋病的發病，通常是在感染了非尋常伺機性感染疾病，

或發生卡波西氏肉瘤，才被發現。病人常見相關的症狀如：

不明原因的持續發燒、體重減輕、食慾減退、腹瀉、全身性淋巴腺腫脹、

鵝口瘡、持續性肺炎、腦部神經性症狀、隱球菌性腦膜炎．．．等等，

除了臨床症狀外，患者病史是否屬於高危險行為者，

也是判斷愛滋病不可忽略的條件，當然最重要的還是必須經醫師

詳細作必要的檢查、診斷後才能確定。

邀請各位加入紅絲帶的行列

您不必要是伊麗莎白泰勒或是凱文科斯納，任何人都可以是一個

《紅絲帶方案》的支持者。您只需要將一段10公分長、0.8 公分寬

的紅絲帶對摺成簡單的英文字Ｌ小寫「愛」 (Love)字的形狀，

在交叉點以紅針線固定，背面針線打結的地方貼上雙面膠；

在您下一次參加朋友的生日派對、結婚喜宴、

商品發表會、公司周年會等大型社交場合時別忘了配戴它。

如果有人問你為什麼戴著這個「紅絲帶」，請告訴他，

這是我們該對「愛滋」做點事情的時候了!

1. These microwave ovens are very popular. You won’t find them in other stores because they’re made especially for us. We import them from our factory in Mexico. They’re very well made and come with a three-year guarantee. Your receipt is your guarantee. One great thing is they only weigh ten kilos, so you can easily pick one up if you want to move it or clean it. They also have a really special feature you don’t find in other microwaves. They display popular recipes on this little screen in front. It has recipes for over 500 easy dishes.

2. This jacket is very strong. It’s made of nylon, so it’s very easy to take care of. It comes in six different colors. You don’t need to dry clean it. You can just throw it in the washing machine, then hang it up to dry And let me show you something really special about it. It’s reversible. It turns inside out so you can wear it either way. See? The color inside is different from the color outside. Isn’t that great? So you really have two jackets for the price of one.

3. These new flat screen TVs are very popular nowadays. They’re not from the United States. They’re made in South Korea. They’re quite light, so you can pick them up and move them around if you want to. And the special thing about these TVs is that you can also hang them on the wall. Now that’s something you can’t do with any other kind of TV! They come in three different sizes. They’re more expensive than a regular TV, but they’re very convenient, and they look great in your house or apartment.

4. These new watches are very popular with teenagers. They’re modern and made entirely of plastic so they’re very light. Each watch comes with six different bands, so you can change the band to match your clothes. Another thing is they’re very strong. They’re also waterproof. But what’s really special is that this is not only a watch. You can use it to send and receive e-mail messages.

1. A: What do you think of this jacket?

B: The style’s okay, I guess. How much is it?

A: It’s $40.

B: Wow! That’s really cheap. What colors does it come in?

A: Looks like they have it in black, gray, red, and brown.

B: I like those colors—especially the red one. Try it on.

A: Okay. Well, how do I look?

B: I don’t know. It’s not exactly your size.

A: Really? Do you think I should buy it, anyway?

B: No, don’t get it. It’s too big.

2. A: How about this lamp?

B: It’s ... unusual.

A: You mean, you don’t like the style.

B: Not really. And look at that price. $160!

A: Is that bad?

B: Well, it sounds pretty expensive to me.

A: What about the color?

B: Actually, the color is perfect. It goes perfectly with everything in the room. And the size is just right, too. But it’s very expensive.

A: We could put it on the credit card.

B: That’s true, I guess. Let’s just buy it and go home.

3. A: I have to get my sister a birthday present. What do you think about this watch?

B: It’s really cute. I love the style.

A: It only comes with a black or brown band, though.

B: Yeah. I’d prefer some brighter colors. Brown is so-so. How much is it?

A: $ 69.95.

B: It’s okay, I guess.

A: What about the size?

B: It’s great! She’ll love it. Just get it!

A: Okay.

4. A: Look at this sofa. What do you think?

B: Oh, I’m not sure I like the style. It’s too heavy looking.

A: Is it comfortable? Try it.

B: Mmm. It’s really comfortable. And I’d like to have something this size. Our old sofa is way too small. This size is perfect.

A: What do you think of the color?

B: Well, green isn’t my favorite color, but it’s better than that awful brown one we have now. It’s okay, I guess.

A: How much is it?

B: Oh, no! It’s $999! That’s really too expensive. We can’t afford it right now.

A: I know. Why don’t we wait ‘til next month for their mid-year sale? It might be cheaper then.

B: Hey, that’s a good idea.

Sometimes When We Touch  by Dan Hill

You ask me if I love you

你問我是否愛你

And I choke on my reply

我回答不出來

I'd rather hurt you honestly

誠實或許會傷害到你

Than mislead you with a lie

我也不要用謊言誤導你

And who am I to judge you

On what you say or do?

我是誰，怎能去批判你做的事、說的話

I'm only just beginning to see the real you

我也才開始認識真實的妳

**And sometimes when we touch

當我們溝通的時候

The honesty's too much

似乎太透明了

And I have to close my eyes and hide

讓我想閉起我的雙眼逃開

I wanna hold you til I die

我真的想擁著你直到天荒地老

Til we both break down and cry

直到我們兩個都承受不住而哭泣

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

我想抱著你，直到我內心的恐懼平息

Romance and all its strategy

戀愛的法則和策略

Leaves me battling with my pride

讓我和自己的自尊交戰

But through the insecurity

但在這樣不安定的感覺中

Some tenderness survives

至少還尚存一些溫情

I'm just another writer

我只是另一個作家

Still trapped within my truth

想要逃離現實

A hesitant prize fighter

只是一個出拳太慢的職業拳擊手

Still trapped within my youth**

想逃脫歲月的枷鎖

At times I'd like to break you

有時我想打擊你

And drive you to your knees

讓你屈膝倒下

At times I'd like to break through

有時我想打破僵局

And hold you endlessly

永遠的擁抱著你

At times I understand you

有時我了解你

And I know how hard you've tried

了解你已經努力的嘗試

I've watched while love commands you

我看見被愛支配著的你

And I've watched love pass you by

我也看見與愛擦身而過的你

At times I think we're drifters

有時我想我們都是在愛情中浮沉的人

Still searching for a friend

A brother or a sister

還想找尋一段友誼或是親情

But then the passion flares again**

於是熱情又熊熊的燃起

Brief Bio of Dan Hill



(I'm too tird to translate it right now.

Probably I'd do it tomorrow.)

Dan Hill was born in Toronto in 1954 to American Parents

who, as an interracial couple, moved to Canada to escape

the twin scourges of Racism and McCarthyism. They also

believed that Canada provided a better environment to

raise their family.

 

Dan began writing songs at age 14 and was playing professionally

in small gatherings and coffee houses by the time he reached 17.

Two years later he signed to GRT Records in Canada and so began

his quick rise to fame. It was the 1977 Longer Fuse (1977) and the single

"Sometimes When We Touch "that sealed Dan's international success.

It not only gave him his third Canadian Gold album,

it also won over the U.S. audience.

 

"Sometimes When we Touch" also gave Dan his first co-writing experience,

in this case with the highly talented and respected Barry Mann.

"We were brought together in almost blind date fashion."

Dan was named Top New Male Vocalist in both Cashbox and Record World:

won Juno awards for Composer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year.

and was nominated for a Grammy in 1977.

Dan's songwriting can be heard on:

Healing Power of Love

時間過的好快喔！

學期已經悄悄地過了一半，

大家對大學生活的印象是什麼呢？

相信很多人會覺得很有趣，因為不再受到家人的管束，

有些人則覺得有點茫然，不知道每天睡醒要做些什麼，

現在Sandy offers 你一個新的選擇喔！

＊~~每天ㄆㄥ\英文~~＊

英文說真的，沒什麼了不起的，只不過是另外一個國家的人說的語言而已，

大家都順順利利地把中文學好了，

表示大家的語言智商都很高，

沒有理由學不好英文喔！！

如果要說真的理由，可能就是接觸英文的機會太少了，

這也就是這個blog存在的目的，

Sandy會想盡辦法引誘你接觸英文的！

沒有要你學英文，

只希望你能接觸他，每天給他一個擁抱。

想想看這一生都要伴隨著你的東西，

每天都要看到自己恨之入骨的英文，應該相當痛苦吧！

可是如果我們一起努力，把這朵討人厭的烏雲變成‧小‧太‧陽‧

哈，那可是會在寒冷的冬天，帶給你極大的舒適跟暖意喔！

「既來之，則安之。」

既然英文對我們來說這麼的重要，

那讓我們一起把力努~~~！！

有空上來聽聽英文歌、看MV、看看單字、聽個聽力、做做測驗，

相信你有天也能變成「英文達人」！
