这两周开始语文基本功积累,数学也在加大强度。发现,真的不能叫爸爸教数学。时间都花在三个人闹别扭上了。可是,无奈,我是理科出身的文科学位文凭获得者。数学,数学,哎!好想我姨啊!特级数学教师啊!可惜,鞭长莫及啊!
好不容易,陪着两个娃儿,我读完了7本哈利波特,我以前都没读过!上周读完罗琳阿姨的The tales of Beedle the Bard,一本跟我专业方向有点儿像的 Watching the English:the hidden rules of English behavior. 我不是说我也研究英国人哦,只是我们都研究人类的behavior,找到hidden rules or hidden meaning。说白了,我们都是研究行为学: human behavior science。只是我研究完了是设计产品满足人们未被满足的需求,她,well, 写书。我研究过荷兰人,法国人,比利时人,美国人,现在长期研究中国人的行为
OK,下面这个,讲英国人长长的再见仪式,我差点笑cry了:
Even when the final, final, final goodbyes have been said, and everyone is loaded into the car, a window is often wound down to allow a few more parting words. As the leavers drive off, hands may be held to ears with thumbs and little fingers extended in a phone shape, promising further communication. when the long-good-bye is over, we all heave an exhausted sigh of relief.英国人太喜欢划分阶层了,我只能说:OMG! In England, you have to be careful where do you shopping. Looking back, I did my shopping mostly in Waitrose (upper-middle, according to the author) and sometimes TESCO (closest to where I lived) and which is middle-class according to the author.
And I regularly bought food at M&S food hall, underwear and plain white T-shirt. Of course I didn't buy sofa nor cushions nor curtains at M&S. Can this behavior class me into upper class? Stupid English!然后就是capote的breakfast at Tiffany's。接下来是Mindset,推荐这本书。除此之外,还有轻断食和critical thinking,还有一本伦敦市长的Boris Johnson的,spirit of London,英式幽默。(PS. Boris今天就英国退欧/留欧全民公决又语出惊人了,没有统一欧洲,希特勒,拿破仑,想统一欧洲都以失败告终。这哥们拿希特勒比欧盟!不过支持退欧的人听了应该群情昂扬的。Boris作为前伦敦人气市长,总是语出惊人。支持留欧的阵营咋没这么一位呢!)
准备看Austen全集,下单买了一套,送来我差点儿哭了,居然,居然是一本厚的跟砖头一样的,为什么不是我看见的一本一本的可以随身带的盒装书!我抱着砖头哭会儿去。所以决定先看一本叫做Jane Austen Education, A 的。
