千天计划之第963天——拯救
It doesn't interest me I want to know
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day
If you can bear the accusation of betrayall and not betray your own soul
编 程
Growth notes:
从零开始——开发环境——工具只是辅助
好的装备确实能带
刚开始学习一种新的语言的时候,我们不需要去讨论哪个是最好的开发工具。
如果你负担得起你手上的工具的话,那么就尽可能去了解他能干什么。
没有合适的工具,要么创造一个,要么选择一个合适的。
工具只是为了效率。
了解、熟悉你的工具
语言也是一种工具
英 语
最近开始看《英语写作手册——风格的要素:The Elements of Style》
书很棒, 是康奈尔大学的“小册子”,图书馆借的不是原版,暂计划每天写三项规则笔记:
第一章:英语用法的基本规则
Elementary Rules of Usage
规则1
单数名词词尾为加 's 构成所有格
单数名词无论以哪个辅音字母结尾都必须遵守这条规则。
Charles's friend
Burns's poems
the witch's malice
例外: 以-es 或 -is 结尾的古代专有名词或习语,其所有格只加撇号。
Jesus'
for conscience' sake
for righteousness' sake
但诸如Moses' Laws , Isis' temple等表达通常以下列形式代替:
the laws of Moses
the temple of Isis
代词所有格不加撇号,不定代词需加's 表示从属关系。
Its 是it 的所有格形式,It's 是it is 的缩略形式。
规则2
在三个或三个以上醒目并列时,在最后一项前使用连词,其余各项用逗号隔开。
red, white and blue
gold, silver, or copper
He opened the letter, read it, and made a note of its cotents.
此逗号常被称为并列逗号。
在企业名称中,一般省去最后一个逗号,但也应尊从企业各自的惯常写法。
例:
LIttle, Brown and Company
Donaldson, Lufkin&Jenrette
规则3
将插入语放在两个逗号之间。
The best way to see a country, unless you are pressed for time, is to travel on foot.
注意,在难确定一个单词或短语是否为插入语时,完全可以将逗号全部省略,但不可只省略一个而留下另一个。
错例:
Marjorie's husband, Colonel Nelson paid us a visit yesterday.
My brother you will be pleased to hear, is now in perfect health.
正例:
Marjorie's husband, Colonel Nelson, paid us a visit yesterday.
日期通常含有插入的词或数字,按如下方式加标点:
February to July, 1992
April 6, 1986
Wednesday, November 14, 1990
最佳书写方式:单词夹在两数中间,一目了然——6 April 1988
按照习惯,省略逗号。
用作呼吁的名字或头衔,缩写如etc. , ie. , e.g. 和学位名称的缩写,以及跟在名字后的头衔,都属于插入语,前后用逗号隔开。
例;
If, Sir, you refuse, I cannot predict what will happen.
Well, Susan, this is a fine mess you are in.
Letters, packages, etc., should go there.
Horace Fulsome, Ph.D., presided.
Rachel Simonds, Attorney
The Reverend Harry Lang, S.J.
名词和表示其身份的限制性成分之间不能用逗号隔开。
例:
Billy the kid
The novelist Jane Austen
William the Conqueror
The poet Sappho
junior及其缩写Jr.虽一般被当作插入语,但在逻辑上其实应属于限制语,因而不加逗号。
例:
James Wright Jr.
非限制性从句前加逗号,限制性从句不是插入成分,不加。
分词短语和同位语,根据成分是否为限制性决定是否用逗号隔开。
例:
People siitting in the rear couldn't hear.
Uncle Bert, being slightly deaf, moved forward.
My cousin Bob is a talented harpist.
Our oldesr daughter, Mary, sings.
当主句前有短语或从句时,须用逗号将两部分隔开。
Partly by hard fighting, partly by diplomatic skills, they enlarged their dominions to the east and rose to royal rank with the possession of Sicily.
随 笔
幸福公开课释放于我,如今这首诗于我拯救。
The Invitation
By Oriah Mountain Dreamer
It doesn't interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me
how old you are.
I want to know
if you will risk
looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn‘’t interest me
what planets are
squaring your moon...
I want to know
if you have touched
the centre of your own sorrow
if have been opened
by life's betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know
if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.
I want to know
if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations
of being human.
It doesn't interest me
if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear
the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know
if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
"Yes."
It doesn't interest me
to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn't interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know
if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like
the company you keep
in the empty moments.
