August 31 Good night!A good sleep will ensure a good beginning of the next brand-new month!
Good night! August 30 Casual Writing I found it's difficult for me to entile today's dairy at the moment! Anyway, needless to stick closely to a preset tiltle, I'd like to write something at my pleasure now! At the afternoon,when I've been ready to have a relax time on a wonderful and moving TV series----Midnight Sunlight, however, the telephone rings and it's my father who asked me to have a interpretation for a small business of my uncle's company. The two oversea men who I was supposed to serve as an interpreter are Turkish , and actually my duty is so little for the reason that both of them have a sound knowledgy not only of English but also of Chinese, and even my uncle's mardrin with heavy local accent would be okay for them, what's more, an interpreter in their accompaniment would ensure everything went on more smoothly! In this occasion, the consequence is that I almost keep my mouth closed all the time! I think what I should do is to pretend very strong to ensure that the interpreter play no trick to both sides!
As soon as saying goodbye to the foreign guests , I arrived home and step directly to the TV, however, the program was over. With a little disappointmen, I opened the PC and attempted to gather some information of the programe. To my heart's content, I swallowed up the brief introduction of every espido of it, and ended with a more disappointed mind: Qinyou and Youhe come to know each other in the senior high school where their love began in that innocent age, however, they are departed by Youhe's leaving to the USA; Strongly holding the tears in their eyes, they made a promise to wait for each other in the following 5 years. As time lapses so fast, ten years later, God finally made an arrangement for their reunion, to everyone's suprise, after mounting so many moutains of difficulties and hardness, what was waiting for them was the eternal departure, the departure between the heaven and the living world! Obvously, it's a typical tragedy, however, when we come to taste it meticously, we'll found that the impresive sweetness in it: the innocent affection between Qinyou and Youhe, and although they are unlucky to miss the opportunity to enjoy such a great happiness together , however, the trasient shine of love will light the whole life of them! The most important is that the one you love has kept u in his or her mind all the time to their death!
Just at the moment, an information came to me that today is just the the chinese valentine's Day. I'd like to take the opportunity to send my best wishes to people who still hold the belief that the ture love is alive, and are in their pursuit of it with their will unbending!
August 29 Today Today is today, the truest day for our lives!
Yesterday, fruitful or frutile, has passed ; and tomorrow is still mysterously veiled!
Yes, what we can take control of is today!
Today, I may feel good for some happy surprise, or dismal for some disappointing things.
Today, I may encouter someone I've looked forward to meet for a long time, or meet some disgusting ones!
Today, I may realize a dream after the great effort, or give up a goal you've determined to achieve!
What I've done today will exert a direct impact on tomorrow!
August 28 No Pains , No Gain!Dear baby, have u ever dreamed of a big fortune which happens to u with no other reasons but luckiness?
That may be an unexpectable treasure, the comming of a decent job u've dreamed of ,etc!
To be honest, I've ever expected the comming of these miracles, however, dream is as dream does!
At least for me, there's nothing gained by luckiness and what I've gained will not be more than what I've paid!
That's the life of most people !
We cannot choose where we're born, but we can choose our future!
We cannot change our history, but we can create a brand new tomorrow!
We cannot be endowed with luckiness, but we can rejoce ourselves in the sweetness and bitterness of the advancing life!
We can be the poor in others' eye, but we should be the greatest one in our own eye, for the reason that nobody will believe those who even have no confidence with themselves!
Although we tasted the bitterness of the life today, we should still prepare well with a confident smile for the brand new tomorrow, with the hope that tomorrow will be better with our increased efforts!
No matter which situation u are in, rejoicement or adversity, what we should do is to face everything with a simle. an expression of our positive mind and the strongest will!
Come on! Run, lizzy,run! August 27 GATES OF DAWNThe wheels of life keep turning spinning without control the wheels of the heart keep yearning for the sound of the singing soul and nights are full with weeping for sins of the past we've sown but tomorrow is ours for the keeping tomorrow the future's shown lift your eyes and see the glory where the circle of life is drawn see the never-ending story come with me to the gates of dawn and whose is the hand who raises the sun from the heaving sea? the power that ever amazes we look but never will see who scattered the seeds so life could be? who colored the fields of corn? who formed the mold that made me before the world was born? lift your eyes and see the glory where the circle of life is drawn see the never-ending story come with me to the gates of dawn (repeat) lift your eyes and see the glory where the circle of life is drawn see the never-ending story come with me to the gates of dawn August 25 One Heart I haven't wriiten for 3 days, because I was running about for a desirable job! I don't know where is my next station, but, at least , I 've dreamed for what I really want, and struck for realising them step by step. I've tried my best,with no regrets!
I believe I'll not disappoint myself!
Come on, and taste any kinds of taste in your life, with the truest smile! August 21 Dreams by Langston HughesHold fast to dreams 紧紧抓住梦想, For if dreams die 梦想若是死亡, Life is like a broken-winged bird 生命就象鸟儿断了翅膀, That can never fly. 再也不能飞翔。 Hold fast to dreams 紧紧抓住梦想, For when dreams go 梦想若是消丧, Life is a barren field 生命就像贫瘠的荒野, Frozen only with snow. 雪覆冰封,万物不再生长。 These days, what I 've talked about most is to be a person in the living present, but not addicted in the endless dreams and fantasies, however, life without dream is also terrible, because no dream, life will be a broken-winged bird; and no dreams, life will become a barren field frozen only with snow.
It seems like sort of contradiction, isn't it?
Nevertheless, the universe and all the existence are yoked in the system of contradiction, and what we should do is to seek for the balance:make dreams favorably serve the practice, and make the practice enrich and accelerate dreams!
Sometimes, I would ask myself, why could some people are inclined to addict themself in the endless dream? Isn't it a precious opportunity for them to come to this world? Isn't the realistic world made for every human being? Isn't it true that the reality but not the dream bring them what they want?------However, why they still idle away the time and let their body become numb in the fantastic dreams?
Maybe I could represent them to give some accounts. That's because the realistic one sometimes will fail to satisfy them not because they lack the ability to meet the requrements but for some unperveivable reaons: unfairness! However, they were born to be taught that it's necessary for every man to receive or even accept the unfairness given by the society: Before you're treated well , you should do something to move the society into tears! How great the work is! How great the society is! How great the man who first concluded it out is! Nevertheless, we should survive; we should breathe the everyday's air even if it's not sweet;we should prove to our papa and mama that we can stand independently on our own feet and shout to the sky: I've said I can! With this ambition, everyone begins to embark on their work, great work, with their full commitment and devotion, which means that an austere life experience is kicked off! God designs all of these with the best and the most honest will that every son an daughter of Adam are excellent enough to tide over all obstacles in their life, however, will is just will it is! Life began to become more and more bitter and lifeless for some, forcing them to survie by the conforts form the dreams! To sum up, the crulty ,roughness and the rawness of the reality act as promoters to lure people into dreams! Of course , only the most fatuous and foolish man will close himself away the realistic world which is full of happiness!
I don't want to be seperated from the reality! I want to be happy, to taste the rejoicement from self-realization; I want to be cared and loved; and I want to become a happy bird flying freely in the sky, with my heart warmed by the soft sunshine! The 6th DayToday is a little special, for the reason that I received a telephone interview from the YZNOS. The content was a bit challenging for me! Actually, we've made an appointment last night, thus I think it's necessary for me to make some preparation. It's the first time that I commit my self-introduction to the paper, however, I was found out that I was reading the material when asked to make a brief introduction!
The interviewer is a very gentleman and very professional , and he treated me with great patience and attention. When I failed to catch the point of one of his questions, I thought the game was over, and the sky was falling, however, instead of holding off the line, he provide a step for me to get down by asking another question. What surprised me most is that he give an interpretation test to me, and most of the material are from the couterpart book. After the interpretation test, he gave me some guidance,from which I could peserve that just as the NOS elites who I've ever met, his passion for English is so strong and deep!
I'm very glad that I had this opportunity to get touch with NOS members and it's one more NOS member who has given me great encouragement , inspiring me to run forward!
August 19 The 5th DayToday, I'd like to begin with an abstract from A Psalm of Life, written by wadsworth Longfellow
Trust no future, how'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,--act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!
These days I've kept telling myselt that I should live in the present, but not abandon myself to the dreams and fantasies and even give up many things that can be achieved right now through my own efforts.
Several days ago, I fell into a big depression ,however, I feel lucky now that I've dealt with it in a wise way! Failure is the paper tiger and the best way to penetrate it is to lead a positive life! Thanks to lesson taken from my father, I engaged in those I should do instead of aimless waiting! Sometimes it's strange for human beings that they are apt to wait for some important result for them with everything at hand in abeyance! I've ever been among them, and had no appetite for anything in the ardent period of waiting! It seems that the waited result is the indespesable reason of the work of anything else! We wait, and we idle away our precious time, moreove, give rise to a kind of passive attitude! It's no doubt that people in this mind , even if receive a present success, what waits them is a bigger failure!
The point is that we should live in the living present with no excuse, making full use of time but not abusing it in the useless waiting!
"Make use of time if you love eternity; yesterday cannot be recalled; tomorrow cannot be assured; only today is yours. one today is worth one billion tomorrows."
August 18 On the 4th DayA goog beginning is half success! Today everything began very well for me: got up early, did yoga, reading etc. However, this process was disturbed in the noon by a call from my father, asking me to come to meet a very important man , a respectable professor! We had a dinner together, and indeed I learned many from him, not just limited in English, but sth much more important such as how to be a wise man!
However, the study plan in the afternoon was completely deserted, and directly affected the plan in the evening! Actually , after coming back and having a nap in the afternoon, I felt powless in the whole body and until now I haven't return to my study plan .Nevertheless, I think today has been the turning point for me in this period, for the reason that I've had an absolute clean of the side-effects the previous experience brought to me and made my resotution strongly ensured :the road ahead for me is to a single aim, a solidary goal, the top!
Once we penetrated to the failure , we'll find it's not always a denial of us , but to some degree a kind of appraisal for our encouragement , our bravity ,our persistency for the challenging things! Once we are engaged in such a kind of great work, there is no clear line between the failure and success, because we've tried our best to realize it! However, we should completely devote ourselves to the realization of our goal .As for the climbers , once they choose the top of the high mountain, the only thing they should do is to climb with no excuse until they reach the summit! Just like the alpinists, what we should do is to clim higher and higer with our will unbending until to the top of our life!
Obviously , living in the past will make a wise man become a fool;
however, grasping the present will make a fool become a wise one!
Lizzy, the present is what should be cherished by you because the future is living in today!
The Third DayUntil today, the dream is completely over, leaving me an aching heart, which will spur me to run for the truest thing of my life for me! Still remember the mind when I made the final decision to sit for Sisu, however, after experiencing too many kinds of taste of life, that resolution was shattered and then eventually fell into pieces. That may be the sadness of life, however, no antidote to it, just cherish it as a try of tasting various life. Now I have to pay for that aberration! Neverytheless, I still feel happy for this opportunity which has helped me to realize what I reaally want now and in the near future and keep the light of hope in my mind burning on! The present failure told me one should be careful in every step for the reason that this world is not always fair. Thus, just for self-protection, one should be ready for any possible unfairness! If the destiny appear apt to paly trick with you, that means there is great potention both in your body and mind. Again, perk youeself up, and bravely and confidently walk forwars with your will unbending. Have a good sleep and welcome the fresh morning! August 16 The 2nd Day This morning I got up around 6:30 and then did the yoga which I hope would ensure me an active and effective day ! The reciting of lesson2 from NEC 4 went not smoothly that I conqured it until the coming of the throat-ache.However, anyway, I've succussfully acomplished the task at last, which is the very point! I failed to have a good nap this noon, which began with the dream and ended with the same dream full of the nosy sounds of the firecrakers. After such a 10 minutes boring nap, I tried to indulge myself in the study again, however, no matter however I've tried to address myself to the book ,the mind still cannnot be quiet with the disturbance of the job! where I'll go? I've asked myself for numerous times and I've become very tired in such a confusion! This experience makes me have to believe the destiny ! Why I 'm still in the air while most of my classmates have landed down? I've paid as much as,or even more than they've done on the campus. Why I have to taste such a long pain? Conforting words fly to me from all directions: when Heaven is about to palce a great burden on a man, it always tests his resolution first, exhaust his body and makes him suffer great hardship, frustrates his efforts to recover from mental lassitude. Then Heaven thoughens his nature and makes good deficiencies....... Maybe it's true! Sometimes I reflect myself and ask what kind of life I'd like to pursue. An exciting life it is! A life may begin in crying but will end in happiness! What kind of life will be exciting? It's just like a movie whose success is based on the conflicts in its plot! Yes, the most marvellous sight only lies in the most perilous sector! There are numerous hardships ahead waiting for me to experience There are coutless obstacles ahead waiting for me to overcome There are also the sweetest fruit ahead waiting for me to taste Don't make urself a coward,Lizzy! Perk up yourself and have a smile to everything! August 15 ResolutionIt's time for me to make the final resolution I've been a complete failure in the past days For a long time, I've been seeking for who I am What's my favourite life? Why I come to this word? At such a turnning point of life I've had a try of approaching every possible way But the result is not satisfying Yes, it's time for me to make the final resolution I've dreamed of many kinds of beautiful furture, in which I walk in a confident and proud pace However, all dreams, no action! I've made myself a complete dreamer So sweet in the fantasy ,but so bitter in the reality Now, I still dream of an excellent life But now, I've decided to force myself to live in the reality from now on For after all, what I pursuit of is the very sweetness in the realistic world The dreamy life is not what I want To realize a succussful life, or at least, my favourite life, I've made resolutions as follows: 1)To live in the reality except in sleeping 2)To be strong both in body and psychology 3)To lead a well-planned life 4)Not to be an escapist 5)To keep an active mind P.s:Write an English article everyday Welcome the supervision from every corner of world! Thx! August 13 My challenge to NCE(转载)108*200——It’s a single aim, a solitary goal, the top! If you can keep your aim when all man about you gave up theirs, If you can trust yourself when all man doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can dream, but not make dreams your master, If you can think, not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with triumph and disaster. And treat those two imposters just the same, Never breathes a word about your loss. If during such a long and perilous journey, You can still hold on when there is nothing in you, except the will in you which says:”hold on”. If you can succeed in the challenge for 108*200 I am sure you will be somebody!
我从来没有想过像我此等英语庸才,居然会做这样一件外人看似疯狂的事情,为了能做到及至,我一无所有。 一直以来我不相信不出国就能把二外学好,我从小到大都是三留学校求学,没有机会用英文,没有机会跟老外打交道,每次看到人家CCTV英语比赛的选手各各一口流利的英语和让人惊羡的背景我就羡慕不已。我曾经一直认为我这辈子是做不到这样的水平的。 2005年的夏天我决心辞去一份外企实习的工作,即使这份工作是我一直以来梦寐以求的,能进一个好公司不容易,如果当时我坚持下去我现在已经有份DECENT的工作了。为了108*200的目标,直到现在我一无所有,但是再这条路上我永远也不会后悔,我知道坚持下去一定是彼岸,山穷水复疑无路,柳暗花明又一春!这一点至今我仍坚信。 我选择辞去工作一是想挑战下自己,曾经一度我生活在一个自卑的世界中,我的过去经历过很多的挫折和失败,我一直想把英文学好,我很羡慕那些从国外回来就能有一口流利口语的人,我很羡慕那些可以自由跟老外交流的人。我更想做的是,像俞老师说的那个故事中的人物一样,把自己的外语学的比人家的母语都好。当时我已经大四,辞职的做法其实是很冲动的,因为我知道如果不这样做,我可能这辈子都背不下新概念,因为我已经没有这个时间了。当我知道新概念的时候已经是大四了,当我知道有本这样的教材能让我真正学好英语的时候,我已经面临就业,我已经没有选择了,我选择新概念就面临我必然要放弃我的工作。 那年六月我把强浩老师说的一句话记在自己的新概念3册上“人不得不在平凡与孤独中选择一样!”我考试踏上了这条孤独的路。暑假一个半个月我把新三背了50课,不是很熟练,因为当时没有按照22遍背。后来我花一个月复习高级口译,但是因为我的心理素质暴差,这也是导致我高考第一次落棒的原因,我是一个很难承受压力的人。所以那年高口虽然我当时的实力是可以通过笔试的,但是最终还是兵败城下。一度的失望以后,新概念是我唯一的寄托和动力,即将毕业的我不得不在有限的时间里达到这个目标。接下来的半年我过的与世隔绝,连上海的思考乐书店变成了大众书局我都不知道。我不断的鼓励自己,每当背的郁闷了,我就告诉自己,只要坚持不管是用1年,5年,10年,一定可以做到的,我不去管背后的效果,因为很多人都感觉背了没什么大提高就放弃了,我也没有在乎一时的坚持不下去,因为我实在感觉痛苦了,就听听疯狂英语的诗歌录音,从而提高自己对英语的兴趣,我没有想过放弃,即使我没有看到我的英语有很大的进步,即使从早到晚不停的背让我心力矫脆。我从来没想过要放弃,漫漫的我发现,完成这个目标是需要细水长流的,没有1,2年是不可能的,但是那时候我已经毕业了,我决定还是去找工作,我不想增加父母的负担,我同时也感觉工作经验也是重要的。 我本来想依靠过去大公司的实习经验找份好的的工作,意外的得到了另一个外资广告公司的面试。那一刻是我这一年最开心的一天,因为我居然发现自己可以用英文交流了,而之前我居然连一句THANK YOU也吐不出来。那次因为面试的成功,老板对我的英语能力表示认可,打算让我先实习,过几个月公司有机会给我转正。作为一个广告学专业的学生,能进一家世界排行前10位的国际广告公司其实是很不容易的,加上广告行业的混乱,进大公司都是依靠关系后门,而我一个人依靠自己的力量能进去真的很可贵。我当时开始对自己的付出感到无比的可贵。 但是工作了我也没有很多时间背英语了,当时我108只背了22遍左右,有些难的课文也没背几遍,但是基本上我把2本书背了下来。我知道做广告是很辛苦的加班很多,而且我家离公司远的很,所以我打算在地铁上背书。当时的想法我预计到会遇到很多的尴尬和嘲笑。但是因为工作已经八字有了一瞥,我决定细水长流,好好工作好好学英语,当时英语成为我一生努力的目标,我坚信即使只有地铁上的1个小时,一年也有300多小时,10年就3000多小时,学好新概念我还要学FRIENDS背台词,还有莎士比亚,还有,我当时决心把英语作为一生努力奋斗的目标,当时我为能有这样一个目标,非常的满足。 随着一个晴天霹雳的来临,打破了我的信心。带我进公司肯定我的那个老板被更大的老板辞退了。我不得不去另一个组,而我的运气更差,因为之前都没有什么合同,这预示这我随时可能失去这样份工作,而且当时我的实习工资只有800元。 我很想得到这个公司的工作机会,所以当时人事把我调到了另一个组,我跟了另一个人。 这个人是我这个世界上唯一遇到最坏的人,他知道我的遭遇非但不同情,不给我机会转正,还欺负我这个刚出道的学生,把我当苦力,把我羞辱的一分钱都不值。这个小气的男人非但不给我事情做,也故意搅乱我跟其他同事学习的机会,他是一个很奇怪的人,因为他不喜欢女孩子,所以我变成了他针对的目标。让我最难以忘记的是那天上海下暴雨,他2次逼迫我出去冒雨拍广告位,为了能把事情做好,我边霖雨边拍,当我浑身上下,里里外外都湿透了以后,我把东西拍好交给他,但他居然说不用了。最让我愤怒的是还没等我座下,他就叫人事跟我说不要我工作了。要我明天结帐走人。 第2天我只拿到了380元他们所谓近一个月的工资离开了公司。我知道实际不应该那么少。但是我也不高兴跟这样的人渣去纠缠,我只想早点离开这个鬼地方。我在这个公司呆了3个月,最终一无所得。我见识到这个社会上的黑暗,也见识到了一个学生出道的无奈,但是即使如此我仍觉得这样的经历对我以后会有帮助,我所收到的各种侮辱和欺侮总有一天会有一个结局。 这是一个星期以前的事情了,当时我很居丧,但是每当想到英语,即使我一无所有我也不会再沮丧了,我有了生活的信心,我知道即使我一辈子孤独,一辈子一无所有我也能勇敢的生活下去。我知道我还有108*200的任务没有完成,我知道我前方还有更远的目标,我知道在我没把英语说的让老外目瞪口呆,让所有嘲笑侮辱过我的人都惭愧之前我仍然有活下去的理由,我不是一文不值,I have a single aim, a solitary goal, the top! 我觉得没什么必要去介绍背诵技巧,因为背诵是力气活,但是有两点大家是要做的,一是熟练,二是熟练后的运用,因为很多课文我都背了几十遍了,有些已经超过200遍了,等你背到100遍以上就可以考虑应用了,要知道这个目标不是一年两年能完成的,真的从第一次看到吃透,最起码也有3,5年,如果一心扑在上面可能可以快点,但是新概念背好很多人想问我有没有效果,我的回答是,效果是有的,但是没有达到我预期的效果,因为我还没有全吃透,任何事物都是从质变到量变的,虽然我背下了108,但是因为量大,可能隔段时间就忘记了,但是用22遍背过已经重新拾起来是很方便的,其实我知道即使背到200遍你也会忘记,我记得我看到过一个故事说的是一个朝鲜的慰安妇,13岁被小日本带到中国,在中国生活了70多年,在晚年的时候她把母语都忘记了,但是因为她一直怀念家乡一直唱一首童年的朝鲜儿歌,所以最后她只记得这首歌,而不会说一句朝鲜话。这说明要保持你语言的能力不退步,你就要不断的去用,不断的说,新概念也一样,不断的背诵,一开始很累,慢慢的熟练了不需要天天复习,一个星期复习一次,一个月复习一次都可以,最重要的是要把它用出来。另外新概念永远是基础,不包括英语的全部,想真正学好英语的人,英语不是短时间的突破,应该是一生执着的目标,在这条路上永远也不应该气馁,放弃。 对于所有想背新概念,准备背新概念的人,正在背新概念的人我想说的是: Rome is not built in one day, it’s a long journey which need your whole time of endeavor! Never doubt for all the efforts you have done, we must charish the hope that what we have done will be amply rewarded one day. To me, English is the reason I survive in this lonely world, and it’s all my reasons. August 07 A Cup of Coffee without SugarI gave myself a cup of coffee without sugar;
Slowly sip it on a yacht; Surprisingly, fail to taste any bitterness . I gave myself a cup of coffee without sugar;
Smoothly it skipped over my tougue; Strangely leaving no trace of bitterness .
Isn't the coffee surpposed to be bitter?
I had another sip of the coffee,
trying to sense its well-known bitterness meticulously. However, to my disappointment, another failure! Where is the bitterness of the coffee?
Up and down , I searched but, still no result! In such a confusion,continuously
I have several sips of the coffee. Gradually, I felt something was finally sent to my mind from the tounge However, an even bigger surprise : It's sweetness ;Yes,sweetness it is! Bitter or sweet?
Sweet or bitter? The answer is in the mind of yours and mine! Life is just like a cup of bitter coffee.
The key is how to taste the sweetness from the layers of blackness!
August 05 NightcatThe Complete Nightcat When the darkness completely cover the whole wold, God says to every existence :"Dear, it's time to sleep!" Then the stars light themselves on to scare away the fear which the dark has brought to human beings. And the outside world of the window become exceptionally quiet, people are begining to enter into their beautiful dream work! What a sweet and quiet scene! However, almost every day when this scene happens, I alway feel nothing about sleeping but exciting! "The day shouldn't be ended so early, much more things are waiting me to experience. " With this thought, I open my eyes more widely, and go on my this day's journey! Then, needless to say , I became a complete nightcat! To be a nightcat may be a wonderful thing! During the peaceful night, my mind will come into peace, discarding all the disturbing stuff and breathing the free air. With a clearer mind in the tranquillity, I could rethink some problems and make some wiser decisions. Many unfinished work can be done in such a sleepless night, and preparations for the next day could also be made to strengthen my confidence in a better tomorrow. In a word, Being a nigtcat can give me a feeling that I'm running ahead the time, and waste no midnight oil. When sleeping later become a habit, one will come to find that it's impossible for him or her to sleep earler any more, unless he or she has continuously burnt out more than 2-day's midnight oil. Even if one has tried to have a early sleep , he will jumped up in 5 minutes after the light is turned off and open the computer in the quickest speed and finish the concievement which came to his or her mind in that 5-minute darkness. It's like what I 've been doning just now. According to the recent scientific research, it seems that sleeping later has a confirmed seat in the row of the five main health-killers.However, in my opinion, it's just a personal choice. The most important element to make one healthy is to do what he himeself likes. After all, a bad mind will fail to ensure a good sleep,which I think is more closely connected to one's health. Anyway, there is a secured limit to everything! So, u can be a nightcat like me , but please don't be an overnightcat, after all, a strong body and relax mind free frome tiredness is our biggest fortune. Time to sleep,hehe! August 02 Who I am? Once upon a time, when I was deeply plunged into the depression, suddenly a question "Who I am?" generated in my mind. Who I am? Why I come to this world? What's the way of life I'd like to have?------
I've almost forgoten the answer I gave to myself at that time. But just at this time my brain seems go blank.
This morning waking up earlier than usual, I turned on the PC with a complicated feeling. Actually I've been a little more alien to the state of complete relax. When I was a child, I scared the darkness very much and I always can't to sleep without the light. Because of my parents' work, it's frequent that I was left alone at home. Memory is still clear that I always grasped my mother's hand tightly when mother was leaving for working---Lonely in darkness, I closed my eyes making my whole body curled under the quilt and kept telling myself the darkness would be over.Yes, the day is due to come.
Returning to the topic "Who I am?", I 'd like to share an article written by the famous English host--YangRui, and it's just "Who I am?"
我是谁? WHO AM I?Source: CCTV.com12-30-2005 13:38正如所料,英语频道的好消息成为很多国人的费解:杨锐是谁,他怎么成为央视2004年度优秀主持人? 这也难怪,英语虽贵为中国的第二语言,但若评电视节目主持人,恐怕我的知名度还在疯狂英语的老板李扬之下。选我杨锐就成了选一个脸熟还是选栏目的实际影响力。一个日益开放的大国,她的媒体影响力必须内外兼顾。对外的英语频道应运而生,并展示了中国人的生活变迁和观点的碰撞。在央视的第十七演播室,在每天英语频道的北京时间早晚各七点半,我和我的同事在七年的时间里与全球各路英雄好汉,各界精英,就各种热门话题展开坦诚的有时是针锋相对的对话。中国的视角,全球的视野,职业的,平衡的和个性化的主持使栏目收视率迅速上升。英语频道迅速成为亚洲的半岛电视台。但我们身后岂止是小小的卡塔尔,我们身后是让世界都在调整的中国。 我跻身于央视十佳了。“你真配吗?”回答是肯定的。接着还有一个问题:“你是谁?” 我自己也一直在问 WHO AM I?这个回答是一条从自发到自觉的价值曲线。 我的工作是中央电视台英语频道的访谈节目DIALOGUE的主持人。但是我的文化角色和国际角色是什么?这些角色是否重要?除了这些公共疑问外,我自己穷四十年有二追问的一个问题是:我是谁?由此分出的另外三个问题是:我想干什么,能干什么和为什么。任何人如果处理好了这四个问题就有了安身立命的基础和成功的可能。但更多人是从世俗的意义上回答这些貌似简单的疑问。关键是如何看待这几个人生命题揭示的存在与超越的关系。 我的职业是提问和对话。我问故我在。悲剧在于,对于60年代初出生的人,开始生活和生活的开始时都是没有提问的空间的。那时的存在是麻木的,精神是窒息的。 但我很幸运。我的存在始于艺术,或者说红色的艺术。可能是艺术首先不需要提问,只要想象,这符合我的年龄。那个年代这样做也很安全。 十岁时我对美术产生了冲动,是一种自发,那是1973年。高音喇叭灌输下的虽然是《东方红》的时代色彩,但生活的基调却是黑白两色的朴素。东北白山黑水间的赤色生活几乎是单一的革命主题,只有激情没有灵魂;精确地说,在价值判断上只是黑与白的非此即彼,是对人性的忽视。所谓艺术顶多是民俗意义上的年画。一次我私下里偶尔看到流传于民间的当时属于非法的俄罗斯素描教材,欣喜若狂!而俄罗斯画派其油画本身表现力的丰富和对人体素描的立体再现,算是唯一称得上艺术意义上的心灵震颤。 生活是选择。艺术尤其如此。可那时没有真正意义上的选择,没有选择就是最普遍的选择。拒绝个性和思想,选择普遍和大众,你就接近了现实甚至成功。那时没有创作,只有缺少主观的速写。但我却成功了。我的作品被评为1976年黑龙江省少年画展优秀奖。主题是全国五十多个民族的少年载歌载舞盛装云集于牡丹江文化宫广场,热烈庆祝粉碎“四人帮”。可是当时的牡丹江只有三个民族:汉,满和鲜族。艺术的主观被政治上的随想所取代。在那个年代,发生后的疑问取代选择前的质疑。那时的我和成人一样没有提问,更不明白“我”是谁,只有等待政治的诠释。外在的承认远远先于内心的认可。生命在被动中享受集体的快乐,但生命的意义往往因为有个体的痛苦才显得完整。所幸当时的痛苦是在回忆和思考中为后来的自由所挖掘和证实,不幸的是没有为当时的生命所体验。当时只有生活没有生命。在英语中,生活和生命是一个单词,都是LIFE。但置于精神的放大镜下,生活有长短,而生命却有高低。换句话说,生命始于生活,但必须超越生活。 但中国的当时,政治大于生活,生活大于生命,生活没有与生命同步,两代人被残酷地耽误。战后的重建被对人的践踏和对大自然的摧残所取代。 我是谁?在大梦初醒的时代,仅仅内心的反省都是具有颠覆意义的革命行为。我对艺术的自发,为后来发生的全民族的文化启蒙进行了纯个人的内心铺垫。八十年代初,上海城市文化战略研讨会,对新儒家思想的学术探讨及其对亚洲四小龙的经济上成功的诠释,《中国青年报》记者潘晓引起的人生观大讨论,华山抢险,二军大张华救老农和对美国电影《冰峰抢险队》的人道主义的探讨揭开了两代人对人生和生命意义思考的序幕。而当时舆论对马克思《1844年经济学哲学手稿》中论述的人的异化理论的探讨涉及劳动究竟应该是人的第一需要还是谋生的手段,这场哲学上的讨论则在精神上酝酿着劫后余生的人们善良的愿望和高尚的追求。那是超越现实的冲动,是从必然王国迈向自由王国的尝试。 在上海外国语大学的校园里,我们配合舆论组织该校史上首次学生会的选举。我们做的第一件事是通过演讲和辩论组织全校学生进行人生意义的大讨论。这是精神自由的初夜权,这是偷偿禁果的合法尝试,这是一次小小的成人仪式的洗礼。其时代背景则是一次全民族的反思:伤痕文学在《十月》和《收获》月刊上的异军突起,文学评论中《人物性格二重组合原理》的不同凡响,一曲《乡恋》引起的歌曲通俗化的辩论,和后来第五代导演在电影艺术上的大胆突破及国际上的率先承认,标志着选择终于从自我开始,从内心开始,生活被赋予了生命。生活方式的变革和思维方式的启蒙同时到来,而且是伴随着农村包围城市的生产方式的变革。 我无比怀旧。未来能否超越过去成为我发自内心的悲哀。城市化伴随着世俗化,世俗化伴随着精神的堕落。只是晨曦中的多元躁动多少让人对未来抱有幻觉。94年我曾在伦敦海格特公墓的马克思墓前肃立两个小时向我们以前的精神导师默默地坦言了我内心的尴尬。他墓碑上的第一句话是:“全世界无产者联合起来!”有人戏言,后面应加上另一句,“打败中国的资本主义。” 是呀,廉价的中国商品正席卷全球。重物质,重消费,轻理想,轻精神,我们学到了资本主义消极的一面,却依然保留了左倾的和封建的坏的一面,当然引起公愤。 精神自由始于艺术审美的多元取向。西方名著潮水般的涌入成为继“五四运动”后中华民族第二次与国际社会的接轨。中国的崛起成为正在进行时的事实。人的启蒙和民族的崛起几乎同步,中国真正开始有别于过去。虽然这只是尊严和道德重建的万里长征的第一步,但世界已经开始刮目。就在这个背景下,我步入了中国对外英语媒体传播的行列,自信地站在中外交流的最前沿。 对外传播和对内宣传虽然在职业意义上遵循着共同的规律,但社会层面上却承担着不同的使命。英语频道的新闻工作者无法回避第一个也是最重要的问题:“广义上的‘我’到底是谁?” 这个回答非常明确和响亮:“我是中国人”,因为我们面对的是外国人,当然还有境内大量用英语和学英语的知识阶层。但这个回答并不排斥国人。有的同胞并不一定能够理直气壮地正视和回答这个问题。落后,人口多和素质差的国情阶段性地令人窒息。所以,有人选择汉民族文化上的优越感却回避自己种族意义上的认同。强调“我是中国人”的现实意义即在于此。可是仅仅这样回答,在全球化的背景下未免显得比较狭隘。有时我在想,以往人们倾向于认为“越是民族的越是国际的”。这话是否经得起时间和实践的检验?我个人的回答是,本着历史唯物主义的观点,我们应对这个命题有所丰富和发展。NATION-STATE(民族国家)的传统定义受到信息时代的咨询革命和跨国公司金融资本的巨大冲击。人类的共同价值伴随着产业国际化的分工和生活方式的改变正成为衡量大国的标准和其软实力的验证。然而无法取代的是,社会制度及国情的不同使得中国的媒体只能当仁不让地对不合理的国际政治经济秩序大声说不,对各种形式的霸权主义理直气壮地反对。中国的崛起已经无可争辩地成为21世纪全世界最重要的事件和现象。当世界为之做出调整和反应时,中国也有可能参与重新制订和解释国际规则。这是人类历史进程中的重大事件,中国在改变历史的进程和人类的发展。我们说什么和怎么说成为英语频道新闻时事访谈栏目《今日话题》的时代使命。 十岁时始于对艺术的自发演变成为了今天对舆论引导的自觉。这既是我个人精神成长和解放的历程,又恰逢我们祖国和民族伟大复兴的开始。OPINION MAKER (舆论制造者)是西方对新闻工作者的称谓。这也许是对我职业的诠释,但中国在世界上的影响和世界对这种影响的期待成为“我是谁”的文化和国际角色的定位。正因如此,杨锐是谁就变得并不那么重要了,重要的是他的对话栏目探讨了那些让世界舆论注目的话题,他所请的嘉宾如何解释世界和中国以及两者之间的关系,重要的是中央电视台英语频道是谁,它代表的是谁和它的影响力。这些成为2004年度央视优秀主持人评选委员会理所当然要考虑的选择。 杨锐 |
