又來插花,為英英美代子加油!

TV & MOBILE

Wife is like TV
girlfriend is like MOBILE (Cell)

At home watch TV
go out bring MOBILE

No money, sell TV
Got money change MOBILE

Sometimes enjoy TV
but most of the time play with MOBILE

TV is free for life
but MOBILE if you don't pay, the services will be terminated

TV is big, bulky and most of the time old!
But MOBILE is cute, slim, curvy and very portable at any time

Operational cost for TV is often acceptable
but for MOBILE is high and often demanding

TV got remote
MOBILE don't have

Most important, MOBILE is two ways communication (talk and listen)
but with TV you MUST listen to it (either you want to hear nagging or not)

Last but not least! TV do not have virus, but MOBILE, yes, they do have VIRUS

為larry樓下的英文小說中文翻譯,看起來較輕鬆不累.
....................................................................................................................
從前有一堆小青蛙,安排了跑步競賽,目標是要登上一個非
常高的塔的頂端,一大群觀眾聚集約於高塔四周觀看比賽,也為參賽者加油打氣。說真的,群眾中沒人真的會相信這群小青蛙能到達塔的頂端,你會聽到語句如下:
“他們絕對辦不到登上頂端的,“或
“他們一定沒有成功的機會,塔實在太高了!“
這些小青蛙開始逐個掉落,除了一些以精力充沛的速度(in a fresh tempo)的青蛙一路走高。 群眾不斷高呼“這太難了!
沒有人會成功的!“
更多的小青蛙累了,放棄了。
但有一隻有繼續邁向高處,,高處,,更高處,他不願放棄!
最後,大家都放棄了攀登塔,,除了那隻盡很大的努力是唯一個登上了頂峰青蛙!然後,所有其他的小青蛙,自然很想知道這隻小青蛙如何成功地做到這一點?一個參賽者問了那隻小青蛙:你是如何發掘成功達成目標的力量?..原來....
獲勝者是個聾子!

這個故事的智慧是:
當人們告訴你,你不能完成你的夢想時,要當自己是個聾子.

插花一下(英文短篇選讀)
There once was a bunch of tiny frogs, who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered arround the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants. Honestly, no one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard statements such as:
"They will NEVER make it to the top. " or
"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"
The tiny frogs began collapsing one by one except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher.
The crowd continued to yell "It is too difficult!!!
No one will make it!"
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up.
But ONE continued higher and higher and higher...The one wouldn't give up!
At the end, everyone else had given up climbing to tower except for the one tiny frog who after a big effort was the only one who reached the top! Then all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it? A contestant asked the tiny frog how the one who succeed had found the strength to reach the goal? It turned out ....
That the winner was DEAF!!!

The wisdom of this story is:
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that YOU cannot fulfill your dreams?
