Film or book, which do you prefer?
Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original.
Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.
Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.
Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and what's more, I am able to better understand the author's ideas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.

我申請的學校在澳大利亞維多利亞州。 他們給發的關於 維多利亞州的一些介紹。 你覺得有用就用一下吧。
About Victoria
Victoria is located at the southern-most end of Australia's mainland. It is Australia's second-most populated state with more than 4.5 million people from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Some key facts include:

* 45% of Victoria's community was either born overseas or has at least one parent born overseas.
* More than 20% of Victoria's residents and almost 30% of Melbourne's residents speak a language other than English at home.
* 17% of Victorians were born in countries where English is not their first language. This is the highest proportion of any Australian state or territory.
* Australia today is home to people from more than 140 nations.

Climate

The weather in Victoria is generally temperate and mild with four distinct seasons. Students however will need to have a range of clothing to cater to the seasonal climatic conditions.

During winter, you will need warm clothing, which may be more readily available in Australia than in your home country. Nevertheless, you are advised to bring a sweater/warm jacket with you from your home country.
Seasonal daytime temperature range
Season Temperature Range in Degrees General Condition
Summer (December-February) 25-35 The hottest months are January and February
Autumn (March-May) 18-24 Most days are pleasantly mild
Winter (June-August) 6-14 Most days are cool
Spring (September-November) 15-22 Most days are pleasantly mild

Melbourne
The city of Melbourne has a population of 4.0 million people. It is exciting, safe, cosmopolitan and culturally rich.

Melbourne is renowned for its music and cultural festivals, quality restaurants, entertainment venues, beautiful parks and gardens and its excellent shopping. It boasts world-class sporting and recreational facilities, and has been judged the "world's most liveable city" in recent years by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

Geelong
Geelong is Victoria's second-largest city and combines all the amenities of a major city with a real country friendliness. With a population close to 200,000, Geelong is a historic and attractive bayside city. Walking and cycling paths hug the curve of the bay and provide easy access to the many attractions along the foreshore, including cafes and restaurants, and fully-restored art deco seawater baths.

Along with striking ocean views, the region also boasts many laid back coastal towns and maritime villages, and there are plenty of opportunities for bushwalking, swimming, surfing, fishing and whale-watching. Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, is only a one-hour train-ride or drive away, while some of Australia's best beaches in Australia, including Bells Beach and Torquay, are only 15 minutes away.

back to top
Warrnambool
Located on Victoria's rugged Shipwreck Coast at the western end of the Great Ocean Road, Warrnambool is a thriving and independent modern city - the fifth largest in the state.

As one of the fastest-growing regional centres in Victoria, Warrnambool has a population of approximately 30,000 which swells in the summer months as holiday-makers make their way to this premier tourist destination.

Whales and maritime history are major attractions in the region, and the town is the ideal base for visiting wildlife reserves, forests, farms, waterfalls and one of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in the world. From its fascinating history as a whaling town to the thriving commercial, cultural and ecational centre it is today, Warrnambool offers a truly unique opportunity for international students wanting to experience the 'real' Australia.

Put that hair-dryer back right now
CHINESE travelling abroad can carry more than just clothes and cameras. They often carry expectations and odd habits — some of which get them into trouble.

Impatience, jumping the queue, poor table manners. These are just some Chinese tourists' habits that are giving China a bad name. And now the Chinese Government is starting to do something about it.

"China was closed 20 years ago. The world should give us some time to teach them about other countries," said Lu Yi, a manager in the outbound travel department at China International Travel Service.

In fact, the National Tourism Administration plans to publish an etiquette guide on proper manners for Chinese travelling abroad, China Daily reported last Saturday.

But while the government believes Chinese have a problem with their manners, other factors could also be to blame for the stereotype.

For instance, nearly two per cent of Chinese go abroad each year, according to 2005 statistics from the China National Tourism Administration. Most travel in low-price group tours of 15 to 40 people.

As a result, Chinese are more easily identified and judged as a group rather than as indivials.

Another reason for the stereotype of the ill-mannered Chinese tourist may be cultural bias.

Tang Yunpeng, 27, a Chinese who has been working in Singapore for five years, said that cultural expectations on both sides can proce a negative experience.

"We Chinese have kind of pride," he said. "But many foreigners have a strong prejudice against Chinese as well. The important thing is to understand and be understood."

Whatever the case may be, many believe the government's guide to good manners will have a positive effect.

Whirlwind tour

Former New Zealand hotel restaurant manager Emma Moore, 34, says she never saw anything that "blew her mind". But she does admit that Chinese tourists did have a bad reputation at the Glacier Country Hotel in Fox Glacier, New Zealand.

They cooked rice in their rooms, left trash on the floor, smoked in the rooms and yelled for restaurant servers.

"You have to respect the culture of the places you're at," Moore said. "You can't live in a bubble."

Ivan Chuang, a US graate student from Taiwan, was impressed by the Chinese mainlanders he met on a recent tour. He paid US$350 for a whirlwind tour of New York City, Washington DC, Boston and Philadelphia last spring.

He still remembers the Chinese tour guide's opening speech: "When you find towels, hair dryers and alarm clocks in the hotel room, don't take them. If you want them, you have to buy them at a department store."

But Chuang, 30, said everyone behaved well: "I got a good impression of the people on my tour. That's not what I had heard about people from the Chinese mainland."

Here's how some international media look at Chinese tourists
"The most recent followers of the 'ugly Americans', who were seen in Europe in the '50s and '60s, and the free-spending Japanese tour groups, seen with their cameras everywhere in the '70s, are today's travellers from the Middle Kingdom. They are seen as a pushy, constantly smoking, hard shopping group. And, they may be difficult to adjust to."
USA Today, September 7, 2006
"In the same way that loud Americans attract glances from sophisticated people in Paris, Chinese tourists have gained a reputation in Southeast Asia. They are seen as loud, impolite with table manners, and leaving much to be desired. Even tour operators admit that Chinese customers can be rude and bossy when they hit the road."
The Christian Science Monitor,
January 4, 2006
"The Chinese were well-prepared. They were armed with paper cutouts of their relatives' feet. They headed straight for the shoes at the Clarks shop, among a collection of factory outlets near Oxford that was visited by a group of 2,000 Chinese sales representatives this month. They bought up to six pairs of shoes each and the queue stretched out of the door."

『拾』 英語閱讀《度假》翻譯，題目答案

The place we end up going on vacation is a tiny island called Gili Meno, located off the coast of Lombok, which is the next stop east of Bali in the great, sprawling Indonesian archipelago. I'd been to Gili Meno before, and I wanted to show it to Felipe, who had never been there.
The island of Gili Meno is one of the most important places in the world to me. I came here by myself two years ago when I was in Bali for the first time. I was on that magazine as-signment, writing about Yoga vacations, and I'd just finished two weeks of mightily restorative Yoga classes. But I had decided to extend my stay in Indonesia after the assignment was up, since I was already all the way over here in Asia. What I wanted to do, actually, was to find someplace very remote and give myself a ten-day retreat of absolute solitude and absolute si-lence.
When I look back at the four years that elapsed between my marriage starting to fall apart and the day I was finally divorced and free, I see a detailed chronicle of total pain. And the moment when I came to this tiny island all by myself was the very worst of that entire dark journey. The bottom of the pain and the middle of it. My unhappy mind was a battlefield of conflicted demons. As I made my decision to spend ten days alone and in silence in the middle of exactly nowhere, I told all my warring and confused parts the same thing: "We're all here together now, guys, all alone. And we're going to have to work out some kind of deal for how to get along, or else everybody is going to die together, sooner or later."
Which may sound firm and confident, but I must admit this, as well—that sailing over to that quiet island all alone, I was never more terrified in my life. I hadn't even brought any books to read, nothing to distract me. Just me and my mind, about to face each other on an empty field. I remember that my legs were visibly shaking with fear. Then I quoted to myself one of my favorite lines ever from my Guru: "Fear—who cares?" and I disembarked alone.
I rented myself a little cabin on the beach for a few dollars a day and I shut my mouth and vowed not to open it again until something inside me had changed. Gili Meno Island was my ultimate truth and reconciliation hearing. I had chosen the right place to do this—that much was clear. The island itself is tiny, pristine, sandy, blue water, palm trees. It's a perfect circle with a single path that goes around it, and you can walk the whole circumference in about an hour. It's located almost exactly on the equator, and so there's a changelessness about its daily cycles. The sun comes up on one side of the island at about 6:30 in the morning and goes down on the other side at around 6:30 PM, every day of the year. The place is inhabited by a small handful of Muslim fishermen and their families. There is no spot on this island from which you cannot hear the ocean. There are no motorized vehicles here. Electricity comes from a generator, and for only a few hours in the evenings. It's the quietest place I've ever been.
Every morning I walked the circumference of the island at sunrise, and walked it again at sunset. The rest of the time, I just sat and watched. Watched my thoughts, watched my emo-tions, watched the fishermen. The Yogic sages say that all the pain of a human life is caused by words, as is all the joy. We create words to define our experience and those words bring attendant emotions that jerk us around like dogs on a leash. We get seced by our own mantras (I'm a failure . . . I'm lonely . . . I'm a failure . . . I'm lonely . . .) and we become monu-ments to them. To stop talking for a while, then, is to attempt to strip away the power of words, to stop choking ourselves with words, to liberate ourselves from our suffocating man-tras.
It took me a while to drop into true silence. Even after I'd stopped talking, I found that I was still humming with language. My organs and muscles of speech—brain, throat, chest, back of the neck—vibrated with the resial effects of talking long after I'd stopped making sounds. My head shimmied in a reverb of words, the way an indoor swimming pool seems to echo interminably with sounds and shouts, even after the kindergartners have left for the day. It took a surprisingly long time for all this pulsation of speech to fall away, for the whirling noises to settle. Maybe it took about three days.
我們度假的地方是名叫美儂島（）的小島，位於龍目（Lombok）沿海；在大片延展的印尼群島當中，龍目是巴厘島以東的下一站。我從前去過美儂島，我想讓斐利貝看看，他未曾去過那裡。
美儂島對我而言是世界上最重要的地方之一。兩年前首次造訪巴厘島時，我獨自前來此地。當時我受雜志社邀稿，撰寫瑜伽之行，才剛結束兩個禮拜有助於恢復活力的瑜伽課程。但在完成了雜志社指派的工作後，我決定延長在印尼的居留，既然我已大老遠跑來亞洲。我想做的，事實上是找個偏遠之地，隱居十天，給自己絕對的隔絕和絕對的平靜。
當我回顧從婚姻開始瓦解到終於離婚而獲得自由的四年時光，我看見一部詳盡的痛苦史。我獨自一人來到這座小島之時，是那整趟黑暗之旅的最低潮期，最底層當中的痛苦。我憂愁的心，是一座戰場，彼此爭斗的惡魔在其中作戰。當我決定在前不著村、後不著店的地方安靜獨處十天，我告訴內心所有混亂交戰的想法同一件事："你們這些傢伙聽好，咱們現在單獨待在一起了。我們得想辦法相處，否則遲早大家都將葬身此地。"
語氣聽起來堅定而自信，但我也必須承認——獨自搭船前來這座安靜的小島時，我感到有生以來未曾有過的恐懼。我甚至未帶任何書來讀，沒有任何事可以讓我分心。只有我和自己的心共處，即將在荒原上面對彼此。我記得看見自己的腿因恐懼而發抖，而後我給自己引用一句我的導師曾說過的深得我心的話："恐懼——誰在乎？"於是我獨自下了船。
我在海邊租下一間茅舍，每日的租金只要幾塊錢。然後我閉上嘴，發誓直到內心發生變化前，不再開口。美儂島是我的絕對真理與和解審訊。我挑選了合適的地點，這再清楚不過。島非常小，很原始，有沙灘、碧海、棕櫚樹。正圓形的島只有一條環島步道，一個小時內即可走完整個圓周。小島幾乎位於赤道上，因此日日循環不變。太陽清晨六點半在島的一邊升起，午後六點半在島的另一邊下山，一年到頭皆如此。一小群穆斯林漁夫及其家人居住在此地。島上沒有一處聽不見海聲。這兒沒有任何機動車輛。電力來自發電機，僅在晚間提供幾個小時。這里是我到過的最安靜的地方。
每天清晨，我在日出時分繞著島周行走，日落時分再走一次。其餘的時間，我只是坐著觀看。觀看自己的思考，觀看自己的感情，觀看漁夫。瑜伽聖者說，人生所有的痛苦皆起因於言語，如同所有的喜悅。我們創造言語，藉以闡明自身經驗，而諸種情緒伴隨這些言語而來，牽動著我們，猶如被皮帶拴住的狗。我們被自身的咒語引誘（我一事無成……我很寂寞……我一事無成……我很寂寞……），成為咒語的紀念碑。因此，一段時間不講話，等於是嘗試除去言語的力量，不再讓自己被言語壓得透不過氣，讓自己擺脫令人窒息的咒語。
我花了一陣子才真正沉默下來。即使停止說話，我發現自己仍低聲響著語言。我的五臟六腑和語言肌肉——腦袋、喉嚨、胸膛、頸後——在我停止出聲之後，餘音殘留。言語在我腦中回響，就像幼稚園的幼兒們白天離開室內游泳池後，游泳池似乎仍回盪著無止境的聲音與喊叫。這些語言脈動花了好一段時間才消失而去，迴旋的聲音才得以平息，大約花了三天工夫。
是這個嗎？
