  August 1st Chapter One

  第一章讲述瑞士与北马其顿争夺意义非凡,胜负诡变难料了Kwan的江南体育出生,成长,以及文中Olivia对于Kwan的看法产生的一系列变化。这一章中让我最为深刻的两个情节就是Kwan对于她母亲的一种执念的爱以及她对于Olivia情感的转变。

  对于母亲Kwan其实一直抱有不满的心情,因为母亲一直以来显得如此不真实,她知道她爱她,但是她从为切实的感受到。她问过自己的母亲,但是总是遭到了拒绝,慢慢的,这样的拒绝对她来讲已经变成一种伤疤,不能愈合,但是她又将这样的伤痛掩盖,假装一切都好。或许这样儿时的缺爱也造成后来她想要与丈夫离婚的促因之一,她爱自己的丈夫,也知道他爱她,但是她并不满足于这样的爱,她想要的更多希望寻找一个能把她当做全部的人,显然那是不可能的,这不是童话世界,是现实。而另一方面,Olivia的爱比起其他人来讲更加热烈而持久,但是当她沉浸于她的爱中时,有时不时的厌烦,嫌弃,她讨厌她代替了她母亲的位置,但是在这样的同时,她也爱着自己这位同父异母的姐姐。这位拥有神奇“魔力”的姐姐。

  喜欢的句子:

  *When Icompared the amount of time she spent with others-even total strangers- Ifelt myself sliding further down the ranks of favorites, getting bumped and bruised.

  *With me, she is unreliable. Promises to take me to the movies or the public pool were easily erased with excuses or hate it whenyou pout.

  *Ilearned to make things no matter, to put a seal on my hopes and place them on a high shelf, out of reach. And telling myself that there was nothing inside those hopes anyway, Iavoidedthe wounds of deep disappointment. The pain was no worse than the quick sting of a booster shot.

  *If hopes never come true, then hope for what you don’t want.

  * As soon as night fell, the grasshopper began to chirp as loudly as a bicycle bell warning people to get out of the road.

  * If you ask someone to cut off his hand to save you from flying off with the roof, he immediately cuts off both hands to show he is more than glad to do so.”

  *Sure,I loved him –too much. And he loved me, only not enough. Ijust want someone who think I‘m number one of his life. I’m not willing to accept emotional scraps anymore.

  August 2nd Chapter Two

  这一章围绕这梦境展开,刚开始有些混乱,又看了一遍,感觉朦朦胧胧的感觉,看了大家的卡,才弄明白了些。

  很喜欢其中的一个句子

  “Now you have no heart, how can live? Now energy, no color in cheek, pale, sad, tired.”

  看似简单的句子,但是其实在现实生活中也显得很有道理,人要有信念,信仰,其实我觉得信不信教都是可以的,并不是只有信教才说明有信仰,很多时候,我认为只要一个人有追求,对于生活有目标,而不是一个“空心人”,突然想起一首诗,是艾略特的《空心人》,这首讲的关于一战后没有追求,没有爱情,没有信念的人们空虚的内心世界,真个社会显得死气沉沉。就像文中所说的没有心,我们如何生活瑞士与北马其顿争夺意义非凡,胜负诡变难料?从此也看出信念对于人来讲是如何的重要,希望我们每个人都可以成为一个“真心人”。

  

  还有另一句也很喜欢“Time is not the same between one lifetime and the next.”就像文中所说的一样,每个人的时间都是不一样的,我们的时间永远不会与那先我们的挚爱一样,或许我们能做的就是尽我们可以做的珍惜身边的亲友,而不是为了金钱和工作而忘记生活中更加重要的事情,当然金钱也很重要。φ(>ω<*)

  本章以Olivia的梦境为主,朦胧又不缺乏现实感,介绍了客家人的生活方式以及那里是如何决定自己的另一半的,那里的女人坚强美丽,歌声动人,也会持家又不嫌苦嫌累以及当Cape诱骗村民加入战斗为上帝而战,结果打破了原有的平静的同时,也是他们妻离子散,只剩下老人与孩子。还介绍了Miss Banner和Lao Lu与她发生的事情。

  喜欢的句子:

  *He was strong enough to work himself to death, smart enough to find the answer to whatever he wanted to know.

  *Chinese words are good and bad this way, so many meanings, depending on what you hold in your heart.

  感受:感觉这一章读的朦朦胧胧的,好像读懂了, 但好像也没读懂,大家的打卡都很棒,感触很深。

  August 3st Chapter Three

  这一章主要谈讨了Olivia与鬼魂之间的事儿,以与Simon的争吵为出发点,展开了与Miss Bonner之间的事情,以及带走自己娃娃上的披肩的小女鬼,她惊讶于鬼魂可以带走活人的东西。但我更喜欢的一段情节就是她与Simon探讨死亡后生活的问题,天堂或是地狱是否真实的存在,其实我们都不知晓,只是有的时候只是种希望或是信念,信或是不信只在于个人。而且有些时候,那些我们身边的亲友,有一天他们离开我们时,我们伤心,我们怀念,我们回忆,但是随着时间的流逝,我们会不会像文中所说的那样,那样的真切的感觉就此消失。不知缘由,又不知需不需要去寻找。其实对于死亡,还是所知甚少,有事不想提及,因为害怕,因为不安,不过现在还是努力的过好每一天,才是最重要的。

  今天读的也很慢,没有期待中那样理解的快,不懂得地方也蛮多的,回去又读了一遍,有地方偶尔情节连不起来,又回去看了看,希望以后慢慢变好,大家理解的都很透彻,但是自己总是半懂不懂的,厉害的人真的很多,其实很羡慕,到自己也要加油!

  August 4th Chapter Four

瑞士与北马其顿争夺意义非凡,胜负诡变难料

  本章以Olivia与她妈妈的之间的故事开始,有关于她妈妈看待婚姻恋情的想法,还有与妈妈之间的交谈以及想起以前需要妈妈是他却不在的伤心,反而是Kwan来关心他的故事。我最喜欢的是前一半部分,在她小时候,他的妈妈对她的要求允诺着,但从未履行过,一次次的伤心与失落在无形中让她放弃了对于来自妈妈的爱,就像第一章所说的那样“Ilearned to make things no matter, to put a seal on my hopes and place them on a high shelf, out of reach. And telling myself that there was nothing inside those hopes anyway, Iavoidedthe wounds of deep disappointment. The pain was no worse than the quick sting of a booster shot. ”她把自己的伤痛埋得很深很深,不去在意,不去渴求,然而这一次与妈妈的谈话又让那样的伤痛显现,尽管母亲说要安慰她,但实则却是责备他的婚姻,她说她的婚姻同她的一样失败,她的母亲将她伤疤再次戳破,她不想去,但思绪已经回到以前,她想起自己独自在床上哭泣,尽管不想被Kwan发现,但还是发现了,Kwan女里逗她笑,不想让她伤心,但又能怎样,对于母亲带来的伤是抹去的,因为Kwan毕竟不是妈妈呀。

  9. How did Nunumu know General Cape was Miss Banner's sweetheart?

  The shape of a naked ladyin the box which the image on the cloth of General Cape.

  Do you think Oliva’s mother should be blamed for Oliva’s failed marriage?

  No, marriage is a thing for both of them not for her mother. One can never blamed other’s marriage, there is a lot of things that we never know about them, the thing between, so how can we blamed them as we never truly know them. So does Olivia’s mom.

  Why did author create a mother and a Kwan in such a contrast?

  Both of them is Olivia’s nearest man, one is her mother, another is her sister, but her never give her trulywarm when she needed, while Kwan play this role all her life. But the most important thing is the role of mom can never replace by Kwan. Mom is mom , Kwan is Kwan, even she is important to Olivia. So in my opinion the author want us to know the importance of the influencethat our parent does.

  August 5th Chapter Five

  Kwan想尽办法让Olivia与Simon联系,在Kwan 看来,他们很适合,她不希望她们就此分开,但是每个人对于爱的要求不同,Olivia想要的更多,她爱他,他也爱她,但是她只是觉得这样的爱并满足不了她,这样的爱,对于她来讲是远远不够的。Olivia回忆起她与Simon相遇、相识以及她爱上他那一段日子,甜蜜又带上着伤痛,就像文中所说“Happy and sad sometimes come from the same thing.”她和每个普通的女生一样,在爱情来临的时候,有些不理智,她会去比较她与Eliza的种种,在看到Eliza的照片时,又庆幸自己比她长得漂亮,但当Simon谈及Eliza的怎样怎样时,她又感到钻心般的疼痛,当然她有时也会为了迎合他的话题而撒谎,也会为一点点的小事儿开心起来,由此可见Olivia 是如此的深爱着Simon,其实还是很希望他们在一起的。

  August 6th Chapter Six

  事情发展的出乎我的预料,Simon 主动亲了Olivia,但那之后又说了句“sorry”,我想这是每一个女生最不想听到的吧,之后他又向她解释,说他好像同时爱这两个人,Olivia 不知所措,既生气又有些期待,尽管对于Simon的态度很不满意,但是对于Olivia,她并不想放弃这次机会,她决定与Elza一决胜负。但是让Olivia没有想到的是她怀孕了,并且已经开始想要与Simon决定今后的生活. Simon让两个女人伤心,Olivia质问他,责怪他,而Elza却发生了意外,不幸的离开了他们,Simon瞬间崩溃了,Olivia感觉很愧疚,她觉得好像是她让她出现意外的。后来他们还是在一起了,但是其实Olivia并不开心,她的生活到处是她印记,她想安慰他,就和他一起去回忆,去“他们”所见所闻的地方,Simon过得不容易,然而Olivia过得更痛苦。

  这场爱情来的不容易,但是当他真正到来时,好像没有想象中的美好,充满了对愧疚、痛苦、忍让、无奈…但是仔细想想,到底又是谁做错了瑞士与北马其顿争夺意义非凡,胜负诡变难料?Olivia? Simon? 还是Elza? Simon怪他不负责?还是怪Olivia 是第三者?还是Elza太冲动?其实我说不清,只是觉得感情有时也是不能控制的,爱而不得的痛是极为痛苦的。只是爱得更深的那个人其实是最痛苦的。

  这章越往下读感觉越心痛,心疼Olivia,也惋惜Elza的离去,对于Simon也十分气愤。

  期待明天。

  I felt myself becoming smaller yet denser, about to be crushed by the weight of my own heart, as if the laws of gravity and balance had changed and I was now violating them.

  August 7th Chapter Seven

  自从Elza 去世之后,Olivia由于自己的愧疚以及Simon对她一直不能忘记,他们的生活处处有她的痕迹,那不是他们的生活,那是他们三个人的生活,而且Olivia像是第三者,她渐渐地失去原来那样的她,她迎合Simon,好像她也极其想念她,但是这都是假象她想彻彻底底的摆脱Elza的影子,想彻彻底底的挣脱她的束缚,因此她寻求Kwan的帮助,寻找她,并将Kwan请到她与Simon的家中,以此让Simon相信Elza希望它开启新的生活,并彻彻底底的忘记她,Simon相信了这个骗局,没有再去提过Elza,他们的生活开始了,但是一切并没有想象中的美好,Elza的思绪一直缠绕在Olivia的心头,并没有因为“新的开始”而改变,她的嫉妒转变为害怕、担忧,而且Olivia害怕Simon发觉他其实并不是真正的爱她,而他们的婚姻也会注定会就此失败。

  其实当Olivia制造这个骗局的那一刻开始,就已经对他们的感情造成了伤害,即使Simon并不知情,但是Olivia也已经开始意识到这一切来得并不真实,人的感情并不是来去自如的,何况Elza从儿时就陪伴在Simon的左右,而她与他相比却是一段短暂的时光。

  其实有去想过如果Simon知道了这个骗局会怎样,原谅?还是背弃?Olivia又会怎样?Olivia做的有错吗?其实她想让他忘记另一个女人,很正常,毕竟每个人都希望自己的另一半是全心全意的爱自己,就算是换做Elza,我想她也会这样做,或许方式不同。

  对于他们的这段感情,我判断不出对与错,只是惋惜与无奈。

  喜欢的句子:

  I’ve come to know that the heart has a will of its own, no matter what youwish, no matter how often you pull out the roots of your worst fears.

  Yet over these last seventeen years, I’ve come to know that the heart has a will of its own, no matter what you wish, no matter how often you pull out the roots of your worst fears.

  August8th Chapter Eight

  他们结婚了,一切并没那样的顺利,也没有像Olivia希望中美好,她太爱他,一次次的忍让,一次次的争吵,也有些许的期待,但是总体看来,失望伤心显得更多一些,但他们一起去医院的时候,医生说Simon不育,Olivia知道他在想Elza,但是她能说是什么?质问他?不能,因为她更在乎他的感受瑞士与北马其顿争夺意义非凡,胜负诡变难料;当Olivia在住处因“怪声”而吓得心惊胆战的时候,他却当做玩笑!当Elza的歌突然流行起来,Simon每天都放并赞赏着,他有没有考虑过Olivia的感受?都没有!当初恋爱的美好慢慢淡去,没有温存,只有类似白开水的生活,婚姻暴露很多的问题,但是时间真的会消磨很多美好吗?会然人变得不体谅对方,不考虑对方的感受吗?还是Olivia太依赖Simon?我觉得不是!

  这两天读的这几章越看心情越复杂!!!想到了一首诗Love me little Love me long, 爱我少一点,爱我久一点,在爱情当中,谁不希望对方多爱自己一点,如果那样意味着分离,还不如在一开始爱我少一点,爱我久一点,这样透漏的点点悲伤与无奈就好像是Olivia的内心情感,我想这也是后来她决定离婚的原因吧,即使眼前的是自己所爱,但好似守了一颗空壳的心,这样的无奈与哀伤还不就此分开。

  As to our hopes, our dreams, our secret desires, we couldn’t talk aboutthose. They were too vague, too frightening, too important. And so they stayedinside us, growing like a cancer, a body eating away at itself.

  Simon took my handagain and squeezed it. I squeezed back.This had potential. Together, I thought, Simon and I could dream up waysto fill the emptiness.

  Love me little, love me long

  - 爱我少一点,爱我久一点-

  Is the burden of my song

  我歌唱永恒的爱情

  Love that is too hot and strong

  如果爱得太炙热

  Burneth soon to waste

  它将很快燃烧成灰烬

  Still, I would not have thee cold

  但也不要对我冰冷

  Not too backward ,nor too bold

  不要爱得太羞怯,也不要爱得太狂热

  Love that lasteth till its old

  不要让爱的花朵那么快就凋谢

  Fadeth not in haste

  我要你爱我一直到老

  Love me little ,Love me long

  爱我少一点,爱我久一点

  Is the burden of my song

  我歌唱永恒的爱情

  If thou love me too much,

瑞士与北马其顿争夺意义非凡,胜负诡变难料

  如果爱我太多

  It will not prove me as true as touch

  它不可能像金石那样永恒

  Love me little ,more than such

  爱我少一点我更愿意

  For I fear the end.

  只因我怕爱会失去

  I am with little well content

  一点儿我就感到幸福

  And a little from thee sent

  一点儿就会让我满意

  Is enough, with true intent

  只要你是真心

  To be steadfast friend.

  我们的爱至死不渝

  August9th Chapter Nine

  婚后两个都在应付眼前的生活,不像是新婚夫妇对新生活抱有期待与热爱那样。那天,他们向往常一样去同一家餐厅吃饭,餐厅人不多,Olivia注意到一对夫妇,他们互相好似陌生人,没有交流,没有敌意,只是他们之间互相拒绝去了解对方。这样的情形让Olivia感觉一丝丝的熟悉感。是多久她和Simon没有谈及到真正实质性的东西了,就算是一旦触及,他们也是当成玩笑将其跳跃,这样生活这得是结了婚的人所该面对的吗?这就是婚姻吗?婚姻中的两个人不应该相互依靠,相互鼓励吗?他们可以谈及那些与别人不可以触及的,可以在难过伤心时,回家时得到一个拥抱。但是在他们的婚姻当中,那样的温暖都是浮在表面上的,而那些真正重要的东西却又触及不到。这就是他们婚姻的问题。Olivia看到了,当她真正直面去它的时候,尽管Simon想要回避,但是他是做出了改变。这样的改变对他们的婚姻有很大改变,他们像以前一样畅谈,舒心既兴奋,但短暂的美好又被Simon的日记打破,Elza提出离婚,Simon也没有反对。这件又是谁对谁错呢?Simon不想说,因为隐私,因为他知道她会生气,Elza因为想要知道那个真实的Simon,想要寻找一种方式接近她,但是却发现到最后他心里还有她,她不想接受,愤怒,心痛,想要与他分别,但真正分开却更加痛苦。这又能怪谁呢?!好想知道Simon到底怎么想的!!!

  感受:越看越心痛!!

  喜欢的句子:

  ☆They didn’t seem to be having a fight. They justacted resigned, disconnected from both happiness and discomfort.

  ☆I felt like a small child, hungry and hot,itchy and tired, frustrated that I couldn’t say what I really wanted to. “I’mtalking about us, what’s important. I feel like we’re stagnating and mold isgrowing around the edges.

  ☆The pain seemed to last forever, but lovedisintegrated in a second.

  ☆I mademyself as unemotional as I could. No hurt, no anger, no forgiveness.

  August 10st Chapter Ten

  Kwan不希望他们就此这样分开,因为Lao Lu说他们是天命姻缘,他们注定在一起,尽管她不相信。这章中还讲了yiban的故事。

  喜欢的句子:

  ☆To me, best time now. You wait, everything change. Yin people know this.

  时间从不会等待我们,珍惜当下才是最重要的,在文中,Olivia对Simon的爱如此深,Simon的爱虽不及她,但也明白他爱她,那为什么两个人都不能退一步,给对方一个机会呢?或许,有些东西在心里是过不去的,如果可以,Olivia也不会做出这样的决定。但是总之是希望他们珍惜当下,珍惜对方的。

  ☆I belonged to everyone, so Ibelong to no one.

  文中的Yiban的命运坎坷,母亲自杀,父亲不负责任,根本不把他当做自己的孩子,将他当做棋子,这样的命运对他的心里造成了极大的伤害,“我属于任何人,所以我不属于任何人。其实对于这句话并不是很理解,但是能感受到他内心当中那份忧伤。很心疼他。

  ☆In all my life, Ihad never seen a person so intelligent, so wistful, so deserving to belong.

  很喜欢这句话。

  感受:

  我们每个人都需要一个归属,都需要依靠,在我们不坚强的时候,在我们流泪的时候,有个肩膀,有个拥抱。我们会在这样的温暖当中变得再次坚强,然后面对我们所该面对的,

  得到我们所该得到的。还有最重要的是,珍惜我们所拥有的。ヾ(????)?"

  

  August 11st Chapter Eleven

  关于Olivia住处的声音,终于解决了,就是楼下那位盲人,说起这位盲人,孤独,残疾,贫穷,在这样的环境之下,恶念在他心中产生,可想而知,孤独是多么可怕,对他来讲,他的生活中缺少爱,他的心中缺少爱,最后就造成这样的结局。

  Living alone edges my imagination toward dangers.

  Simon和Olivia所期待的事发生了,然而他们却分开了,当她向他提到他们得到去中国的机会时,Simon流泪了,其实他也是很重视婚姻的,只是在这场婚姻中他们忘记了一些对于他们来讲极为重要的东西。

  We ’re both quiet, as if to remember our marriage with a few moments of respectful silence.

  Olivia太不会表达自己的感情了,总是将爱与想念藏在心中,总是将自己的伤心与难过埋在心底,在爱你的人面前,又何必这样坚强,又何必这样勉强自己呢?

  But I say nothing, and even congratulatemysef for being keep my ill feelings in check, to not show how much I hurt.

  Being able to restrain my emotions isn’t a great victory -it’s the pitful proof of last love. Every word, every gesture is now loaded with ambiously, nothing can be taken at face value.

  当Olivia意识到自己这么多年来从未给予Kwan一起爱意之时,她被自己的无情所惊讶到了,被自己是如何像自己的母亲所震惊到了,她不想成为像她那样伤害别人感情的人,她对自己的之前的那样无情那样冷淡的举动感到愧疚,她打算邀请Kwan一同出游。当读到这里的时候,真的好感动!其实生活中我们每个人都应该对那些爱我们的人表达一下爱意,我们要学感激,而不是一味的索取,有时候总觉得没时间给父母打电话,其实都是理由不是吗,因为我还有玩手机的时间呀,不要说没时间,其实都是借口不是吗。很喜欢一句话“爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式来爱你,那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。”可能有时候父母的爱让我们难以理解,但是对于我们来讲,他们爱是最无私的,当然我想当我们去爱别人的时候,最好不要以我们认为的方式去爱,而是以他们想要的方式表达我们的爱,就好比你喜欢吃橘子,到别人却给你苹果一样。

  而谈到孤独,我想到了艾米丽·狄金森,她20岁开始写诗,在她25岁开始,弃绝社交,在家务劳动之外,她基本闭门不出,在孤独中埋头写诗30年,她把生活过成了诗,她有把诗留给我们,她的诗都很温暖,有力量,也有哀伤,到更多的快乐,向往。她没去过远方,但将生活过成了诗与远方,对她而言,其实生活并不孤独,因为她有她所爱的,她所想要追求的。

  August 12st Chapter Twelve

  Simon还是很在意Olivia的感受他打电话与她商讨关于去中国的事情,他说他不希望因为他而让她错过去中国的这次机会,他希望她可以去中国,因为这对于她来讲意义非凡。而Olivia听了Simon的劝说与他的理解宽容时,她突然意识到或许他们可以通过这次机会重新变成朋友,灵魂”之交很难再碰到一个。Olivia试探的邀请他一起去中国,Simon立马答应了。读到这里的时候,真的好感动,他们的关系总算有些变化了。还是很希望他们在一起。很喜欢Simon说的那句话超喜欢!“I never stopped being yours.”而这个时候Olivia压抑的心情总算是变得明朗些了。

  他们踏上了去中国的旅途,Kwan全程超兴奋,而Olivia在飞机上也因语言的问题闹了笑话。

  喜欢的话:

  The first time I was a child that Kwan will be my constant companion for two weeks. The first time that Simon and I will travel together and sleep in seperate rooms.…the emotional havoc of going with the very two people who are the source of my greatest heartaches and hears.

  Fate is the reason I'm going. Fate has no logic, you can't argue with it any more than you can argue with a tornado, an earthquake, a terrorist. Fate is another name for Kwan.

August 13st Chapter thirteen

  他们三人开始了他们的在中国的生活,自从来了中国,很多的事情都很不同,Kwan开始早起,五点钟就叫他们起来,并让他们尝试与宾馆不同的实慧既美味的食物,一开始Olivia是拒绝的,但是听了Kwan的一番劝解后,她也开始认为应该尝试一下。

  If you want to take picture of Chinese food, you have to taste real Chinese food. the flavours soak into your tongue, go into your stomach. the stomach is where your true feelings are. and If you take photos, these true feelings from your stomach can come out, so that everyone can taste the food just by looking at your pictures.

  很简单的一句话,却蕴含很多道理呢!

  之后他们租车去Changmian,路途中发生了很多事情,救下了一只猫头鹰以及Kwan的三个愿望。

喜欢的句子∶

★My body is jittery with exhaustion and excitement.

  ★Plumes of acid breakfast smoke mingled with the morning mist.

  ★You can not stop young girls from wishing . No! Everyone must dream. We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming-well, that's like saying you can never change your fate.

  和大家一样很喜欢最后一句(?´?`?)*??*

  对于自己的梦想,目标不要放弃!

分享一首诗《希望是长着翅膀的小鸟》,还有一句肖申克的救赎中的一句话:

“Hope isthegoodthing, maybe the best thing, and no goodthings ever.”

?ω?希望我们都心怀希望!

  Hope is the thing with feathers

  ——Emily Dickinson

  Hope is the thing with feathers

  That perches in the soul

  And sings the tune without the words

  And never stops at all

  And sweetest in the gale is heard

  And sore must be the storm

  That could abashed the little bird

  That kept so many warm

  I've heard it in the chillest land

  And on the strangest sea

  Yet, never, in extremity

  Tasked a crumb of me

  希望长着翅膀的小鸟

  希望是长着翅膀的鸟儿,

  栖居在人们的灵魂之中,

  吟唱着没有歌词的曲调,

  永无止息。

  在风暴中它的歌声最为甜美;

  风暴必然会带来痛苦,

  风暴会令小鸟窘困惊慌,

  它却留给我们如斯温暖。

  我已在最荒寒的陆地上,

  听到过经的歌唱,

  也在最陌生的海洋中听到,

  但它纵然身处绝境,

  也不向我索取分毫。

  August 14st Chapter fourteen

  他们车夫叫Rocky,他自学英语,但能说的就那么几句,他很想去美国做演员,然后挣很多的钱,Kwan没有打断他,也没有否认或是去破灭他的这种梦想,但是现实是残酷的,无论在哪个国家,就算是在那时的美国,也是如此,在那里,人们压力很大,穷人也很多。当Kwan想要告诉他这样的现实时,他突然想起Olivia所说的话,我们不能打破任何人的梦想,每个人都有心怀希望的权利。

  Kwan 看到了那熟悉的美景,那是Kwan给她讲的故事,那是梦中的景象!这才是他们真想要看到的景象,这里没有喧嚣,没有美国街头的快节奏,这里平静,祥和,给予人温暖的感觉。

  Olivia知道BigMa去世,因为他看到了她的灵魂,她伤心的哭了。但是伤心也只能短暂的,还是要面对所要面对的。

  ★You can not stop people from wishing. They can't help trying. As long as they can see sky, they'll always want to go As high As they can.

  ★Simon's face is tense, but when he catches me looking at him, he smiles.很温馨的画面是不是ε?(?> ?<)? з

  ★In the distance is another pair of tall peaks, dark jade in color, and beyond the purple shadows of two more. Simon and i stare at each other, wide-eyed.

  ★Anyway, regrets are useless, always too late.

  

  August 15st Chapter fifteen

  Olivia因为Big Ma的离世十分伤心,但是Kwan不知道如何去安慰她,她不认识Big Ma,也并不了解她,但却曾经极度的伤过她,在她的心上刻上了伤疤。这让特Kwan想起了自己的母亲,如果未来的某一天自己的母亲也离她而去的时候,她会不会也会感到难过、孤单,会不会对她对自己的伤害选择原谅,带着这样的愧疚她思考着这个问题。其实Kwan是爱她的,只因为重视,才会受到伤害,我们总是对于那些我们所爱的人更加的苛刻,我们会对他们索取的很多,希望得到他们的重视自己更多的爱护。其实对于现在的Kwan来讲,她想要的不过是一句来自母亲的对不起而已。

  Olivia并不再沉浸于悲伤之中,她开始与她讲关于上一世中的故事,那场叛乱,让她失去了她的丈夫Zeng,他们本可以一起逃到山洞之中,但是Kwan想要救自己的朋友,尽管Zeng有些不情愿,但是他知道有时候爱一个人并不只是爱她就好了,很多的时候要为她的周围所考虑,毕竟当他们决定在一起的时候,其实就不仅仅是两个人的事了。

  ★The rivers are already flowing, not with boats but with blood.

  ★Ten years before, the Heavenly King had sent a tide of death from the mountains to the coast. Blood flowed, millions died.Now the tide was returning.

  ★But i knew this stillness meant the season of danger was now danger disaster would soon begin. The air was thick and damp, hard to breathe. I saw No birds, I saw no clouds. The sky was stained orange and red, As If the bloodshed had already reached into the heavens.

  ★And still i couldn't get rid of this feeling that something was crawling on my skin.

  ★The night grew darker, the air even heavier, as the ground rose up and smashed against My face.

  ★That with your death, i know too late what i have truly lost.

  感受:爱情很神奇,你会为那个人付出,你会想为那个人做一些事情,但有时候却觉得它很复杂,看不透对方,难以捉摸。不过对于Zeng的牺牲很伤心π_π。

  August 16st Chapter sixteen

  Big Ma想要让Olivia给她拍照,因为当她在世时并没有什么好看的照片,尽管Kwan并不想给去世的人拍照,但是一想到来中国之后的各种奇怪的事情,她也就同意了。他们来到了Big Ma的家,他们要在这里待上一阵子,但是由于卧室有限Olivia与Simon需要同房,但是她觉得极为不适合,他们毕竟已经离婚了。关于Dulili的身份还是有很多疑问的。

  喜欢的句子:

  ★I wink at Kwan and try to keep a straight face. Simon's eyes widen. this is a game he and I used to play in the early days of living together.

  ★It's the first warm moment we've shared in a long time. at what point in our marriage did our teasing drift into sarcasm?

  他们的关系终于又有了一些改变,还是很希望他们在一起!

  August 17st Chapter seventeen

  感受:

  这一章内容超精彩,尽管还是有很多疑惑,但又感慨作者强大的想象力!

  关于Dulili的故事很奇妙,她从不说话,不像是Kwan那样瘦弱,她与Kwan是好朋友,他们之间不需要语言,Kwan也是唯一一个能理解她的"shadow talk"的人,她带来了幸运,也带来了灾难,一场大雨让他们濒临死亡,但是他们的灵魂还在,只是Kwan身体再也不能复活了,Big Ma本想将他们埋葬起来,但是奇怪的事情发生了,lili醒了,但是并不是她,她身上的灵魂是Kwan的!在梦中Kwan来到了yin world,但是lili让他回去,她说七年之后,一切将会重新安排。然后Kwan就回去了

  这章疑惑很多,期待明天

  She watched the world like a baby bird, black, looking for danger.

  August 18st Chapter eighteen

  Now that our marriage is over, I know what love is. It’s a trick on the brain, the adrenal glands

  releasing endorphins. It floods the cells that transmit worry and better sense, drowns them with biochemical bliss. You can know all these things about love, yet it remains irresistible, as beguiling as the floating arms of long sleep.

  很喜欢这句话,说的很真实,又有些无奈。它让我们忧虑,又让我们快乐,让我们思念,又让我们无奈,但是我们还是会沉浸在其中,无法自拔。

  这一章脑洞也很大,Dulili杀鸡,changmian真的含义等……

  

  August 19st Chapter19

  看到这一章其实蛮欣慰的,因为Olivia与Simon终于和好了,后来他们在山谷里还是很惊险的,Olivia很担心他们有危险,而Simon却想进去看看到底有什么,男人的好奇心总是比女人强,正如文中所说"Probably one of those biological differences between men and women. Women’s brains use higher and more evolved functions, which account for their sensitivity, their humaneness, their worry, whereas men rely on more primitive functions.

  有时候男生不会理解女生的想法,而女生也是一样,因为他们的思考方式不同,因为他们的所求不同。在这样敏感的情绪趋势之下,Olivia询问了关于他们分居之后的生活,当知道结果后她极度失望,但是Simon觉得这些并不重要,因为那些人他并不在意,对他来讲,那些只不过是一些需求,他真正在意的是Olivia,但Olivia并不这样理解,她觉他背叛了她,她又提起Elza,她在意除她以外的女人,他们争论着,Olivia哭了,Simon也很生气。

  感受:

  或许女生们都会对爱的人更加苛刻,希望他们更加忠诚,无论是肉体还是精神方面,但现实有时并不会这样,那这样的时候又该如何做出选择呢?还是很希望他们快些和好!!

  August 20st Chaptertwenty

  自从Olivia与Simon吵架后,Simon就一直未归,Olivia的心情又生气慢慢转变为担心、着急,然后又很焦急、害怕他发生什么不好的事情,其实她有些坐立不安,但又不想不想表现的过于明显。后来她再也坐不住了,后来她与Kwan出去寻找,他们找了很久,依旧没有找到他,不过Kwan却找到了音乐盒,那个上一世时Ms Banner送给她的音乐盒,而Olivia其实就是Ms Banner,轮回可能会改变一些东西,但那些真正存在于内心的情感是带不走的。

  喜欢的句子:

  He’s inconsiderate that way. He keeps people waiting. He doesn’t eventhink they might beworried. He’ll be here any minute. He’ll arrive with thatirritating grin of his, and I’ll be pissed for worrying without reason.

  August 21st Chapter21

  Kwan继续讲着上一世他们的故事,当Kwan与yi ban安全到达洞穴后,她告诉他了实情,她说Miss Banner只是假装爱着擦Cape,她只是想要就他们,yiban 听后机器愤怒,想要回去,Nunumu叫他不要冲动,然后她找了个借口去救Miss Banner,Miss Banner的腿受伤了,但是他们还是回到了洞穴,但却没有发现yiban,后来Miss Banner叫他不要再找了,他们时间也不多了,如果yiban死了,他们将在world of yin 中相遇,然后他们就相互依偎,直到死去。

  August 22st Chapter22-24

  

  Kwan与Olivia回忆他们前世是如何去世的,但他们都记不太清,Kwan还说前世中她是Elza的女儿。他们继续续寻找Simon,当Kwan说要去一个洞穴是,让她在外边等着,就在这时,Simon出现了,Olivia又哭又笑,不知如何是好,他们紧紧相拥,让对方切实感受到他们的存在。他们在那儿等Kwan,但是却一直没有等到。就这样,Kwan消失了两月,警察,政府,专家都出动了,也没有找到,他们在changmian办了葬礼,Olivia怀孕了,生了个小姑娘,她与Simon的生活依旧会有争吵,但是现在的他们不会再像以前那样,他们会信任对方,包容对方,关心对方。而Olivia不会再为Kwan的离去而伤心,因为在她心里,Kwan依旧活着。

  ★You can’t let those you love leave you behind in this worldwithout making them promise they’ll wait.

  ★We’re still working things out, deciding what’s important, what matters, howto be together for more than eight hours at a stretch without disagreeing aboutwhich radio station we should put on.

  ★I think Kwan intended to show me the world is not a place but thevastness of the soul. And the soul is nothing more than love, limitless, endless,all that moves us toward knowing what is true. I once thought love wassupposed to be nothing but bliss. I now know it is also worry and grief, hopeand trust.

  ★Ifpeople we love die, then they are lost only to our ordinary senses. If weremember, we can find them anytime with our hundred secret senses.
