Rahman可是因这张专辑获得了两个小金人, 01. O…Saya February 23 艺术家的家居设计—Morris & Co.看到100多年前艺术家们开的公司,真素很意外,本以为除了木版画和后代,它们就再没有鲜活东西留下了。这家店的前生叫MMF&CO(Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Company)以三位出资者的名字命名,创始整容相当强大,几位都是艺术界的知名人物i,同时作为前拉斐尔兄弟会的创始者们,复古、华丽、唯美的不切实际是他们的特点。
MMF&CO创办于1861年,合作者如下: 1851年,于英国伦敦举行的第一届世界博览会,是当时极为盛大的活动,无论工业、政界、商界、艺术人士都相当重视,威廉·莫里斯躬逢其盛,但看完展览之后却极为失望,他认为展出之工业品过于粗糙、制式,毫无美感可言。于是威廉·莫里斯与鲁斯金John Ruskin、普金Pugin等人主导了美术工艺运动(Art & Craft Movement),抵制工业制造品以及媚俗的矫饰艺术,而倡导手工艺的回归,工匠提升到艺术家的地位上。他认为艺术应当是平民可以承受的、手工的、诚实的。 1861年威廉·莫里斯与朋友创立了莫里斯,马修,福克纳公司(Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Company),前期专门设计、制作中世纪与哥德式的家俱与手工艺品,后期生产的家具大致分阶级家具(state furniture)与日作家具(work-day furmiture)两大类别。最后在莫里斯的坚持下,该公司的合伙人都离开公司,公司改名为莫里斯公司(Morris & Co.),继续制作、贩卖莫里斯所坚持的各种手工艺设计品。 Some Pattens From William Morris P.S.插一段:既然讲到Morris,就不能不提她的妻子Jane Burden。我们可以在Rossetti及Edward Burne-Jones的许多画作中看到。作为前拉斐尔姐妹会的一员,作为Rossetti、Edward Burne-Jones、William Morris的摩豆、妻子、情妇,作为一个有历史记载的女人...和Morris还有一些小浪漫。 前拉斐尔姐妹会通常被分成两类:艺术家的摩豆(主要是妻子,恋人,或者是艺术家的姐妹,比如Christina Rossetti)或者是前拉斐尔的女艺术家(Lizzie Siddal两者皆是),Jane Morris属于前者,被Dante Gabriel Rossetti发现并赞叹是“Stunner”(缪斯、美神...惊为天人之类的)。后来与William Morris(Rossetti的密友)结婚。 Morris对亚瑟王的传奇和骑士精神非常感兴趣。当时他开始画Jane作Queen Guenevere。 当Jane在为他摆pose的时候,Morris在画布的背面写下“I cannot paint you, but I love you” — a shy, sweet, romantic gesture。 众所周知, Jane从一开始就爱上的是Rossetti,但他已经与Siddal订婚了。 所以Jane嫁给了William Morris。待...
February 13 杨澜告诫女孩:二十几岁的女孩应该有以下的几点思想一:拥有品位女孩到了二十几岁后,就要开始学着用心的经营自己了,它体现在自己的外表以及涵养上,每一个女孩都是特别的,都应该有自己独特的品位,可能很多女孩会觉得品位与时尚或奢侈品是挂钩的,其实不是,品味是一个人去观察事物时的态度,同样的东西,不同的人眼光下会出现着不同的版本,物品本身的价值与品位的高低是没有关系的,女孩要用自己的目光去欣赏一件东西,用高级的品味去挑选东西。 在某些程度上,一个人的品味与她的气质是相辅相成,品位的高低取决于一个女孩在日常生活里对新事物的发现,品位是自己独特的味道,每个女孩都要有自己的品味,一个廉价的饰品只要戴出了属于它的另类,它也能够表现出自己的品味。平常的时候可以多看看时尚杂志,提升一下自己对服饰等的欣赏度。 二:养成看书的习惯 女孩到了二十几岁后,就已经开始慢慢的接触社会了,在与别人交往的过程中,谈吐与修养是最能征服别人的。我不相信一个不喜欢看书的女孩,她会是充满智慧的。没事的时候,去到书店逛逛,认真的挑几本可以提升自己的书籍买回家阅读,不管是名著还是理财方面的或是激励方面的,都有值得我们学习的地方,书可以让人们的生活丰富,也可以让人们的思想改变,选择阅读一本好书,胜过一个优秀的辅导师。 喜欢看书的女孩,她一定是沉静且有着很好的心态,因为在书籍的海洋里,女孩可以大口的吸收着营养。喜欢看书的女孩,她一定是出口成章且优雅知性的女人。认真的阅读,可以让心情平静,而且书籍里暗藏着很大的乐趣,当遇到一本自己感兴趣的书时,会发现心情是愉悦的,而且每一本书里都有着很大的智慧,阅读过的书籍都会是女孩社交中的资本,相信没有人会喜欢与一个肤浅的女孩交往。选择了合适的书本,它能够教会人很多哲理,以及会让你学会以一种平和的心态去迎接生活里的痛苦或快乐。 三:要试着发现生活里的美 女孩到了二十几岁后,就要逃离那些灰暗的小说,它只会让大家与悲伤越贴越近,生活并不是小说里情节的翻版。不要总提醒着自己遇到的不幸,要知道在这个世界上有着很多人比你还不幸,只要能够抬头看到阳光就是幸运的,那些生活里的挫折比起一个人的人生它只不过是一个再小不过的插曲。想在这个社会上立足,就要有平和的心态,在患得患失的人生里,我们时刻都在选择着,也被别人选择着,我们应该有着阿Q精神,痛苦与快乐的生活都是我们选择的,为什么要让自己沉溺在痛苦中呢? 有些人因为情感或工作上的挫折而让自己陷入一种不幸的思想中,而导致着她们会成为悲观的人,不管做什么事情都有着恐惧,怕输,或是觉得自己不会成功。一个人把自己标榜成什么样,她就只能生活在自己给自己设下的心牢里,谁有资格说自己不会成功?谁敢说自己不会成功?想成功的人都是乐观的人,悲观永远都是成功的阻碍,只有积极向上的情操才会让生活变得美好,相信明天一定比今天会好,只要你努力了,社会一定是公平的,不要报怨生活,否则只能证明你自己没有真正的去努力。 四:跟有思想的优秀人交朋友 女孩到了二十几岁后,就要开始有目的性的去选择朋友,社会中的人脉非常的重要,而你选择加入的朋友圈也会对你的人生有着很大的影响,如果你的朋友都是一些积极向上乐观的人,你也会被他们感染的,如果你的朋友是一个悲观主义者,整天只知道报怨生活,却不会脚踏实地的工作,时间久了,你同样会被感染的。人在选择朋友的时候很重要,有时候如果想了解一个人,也可以从他的朋友是什么样的人来了解他的为人。不要轻易的交朋友,也要注意选择跟什么人交朋友。 一个好的朋友可以让你的人生有着很大的改变,他会让你变得乐观。女孩到了二十几岁后,要多一些朋友,自私一点也就是说,要多交一些对自己有帮助的朋友,你可以从他们的身上学到东西,但是想交朋友,你就要对他们付出真诚,不要只是为了想利用他们才与他们交往,没有人是傻子,你对别人好与不好,别人也都清楚的看得到。用自己的真诚与那些有思想的优秀人交朋友吧! 五:远离泡沫偶像剧 女孩到了二十几岁后,就要开始远离那些虚假的偶像剧了,电视里的白马王子与灰姑娘都是生活里的男孩或女孩向往的,它并不是真的存在的,像电视剧里出现的一些情节有时候也深深的影响到了人们的观念,比如一些电视剧里会出现恶毒的婆婆,或是发现深爱自己的人竟然是自己的亲兄妹等,这些情节就是为了让人们的情绪波动的,它并不能与现实生活挂钩,它是超越了生活的,女孩子不应该再沉溺于这种造假的童话氛围里了,有时间多看一些能够帮助自己的节目。 想了解社会并不能通过那些泡沫偶像剧,它们是毒,有些人中毒很深时,就会让它们直接影响自己的人生观与价值观,像一夜暴富或是一夜间一贫如洗在生活里或许会有,但不会像电视剧里播放的那些简单而直接,爱情与亲情也没有影片里的那样绝决与残忍,偶像剧会影响人们对社会的判断能力,所以,请远离泡沫偶像剧。相信一个优秀的女孩,应该不会花大把的时间沉溺在偶像剧里的。 六:学会忍耐与宽容 女孩到了二十几岁后,就要慢慢的学会忍耐与宽容了,社会并不是一个任性的地方,那些大小姐的脾气要慢慢的收敛了,因为可能有些时候就因为你的计较会让你失去自尊,成为被人指责的没有教养的女人。给那些不友好的人善意的微笑,即能够让对方无地自容,也能够给别人留下大度且善解人意的好印象。忍耐并不是懦弱,也不是伤自尊,而是宽容美。请放下理直气壮的坏脾气,在适当的时候让一步,不仅可以体现出你的涵养,而且还会让你成为受人欢迎的女孩。 生活里会遇到很多不公平的事情,也会遇到很多让你无法接受的人,我们不能试着去改变别人,与其非常愤怒的大声指责别人的行为,不如怀着理解的心态给对方一个微笑,任何一个人都不会去伤害一个善良的人。声嘶力竭的与别人争论并不能赢得所谓的自尊,反而让你丢掉自尊。 七:培养健康的心态,重视自己的身体 女孩到了二十几岁后,就要学会调节自己的心态,以及好好的保护自己的身体。身体是最重要的,相信每个人都知道,但是在真的做起来时,并不是一件简单的事情。二十几岁的女孩在饮食方面已经应该开始注意了,建议多看一些关于饮食方面的书。任何一个女孩,千万不要为了这样或那样的理由不照顾自己的身体健康,不管明天有多么的美好,而你总是以一副生病的姿态去迎接它,也并不会感觉到它的美好的。 八:让美貌成为你的资本 女孩到了二十几岁后,就要开始让你的美貌发挥作用了,在适当的时候让你的美貌掌握着足够的发言权。漂亮的外貌并不是每个女孩都拥有的,让漂亮的外貌成为你的资本,在需要的时候用使用一下,它可以开启你人生中的很多困境,虽然有时候有人说漂亮的女孩都是花瓶,但是花瓶如果摆在了合适的位置,它就是艺术品。女孩的青春美貌也只是短短的数年,所以要善于利用你的美貌。 但是女孩不能因为有了美貌就可以陷入自满中,有着美丽的外表又有着智慧的内在才是优秀的女人,请女孩们合理的利用自己的美貌,千万不要因为自己的短暂的美貌而让自己沉沦。 九:离开了任何一个男人,你都会活得很好 女孩到了二十几岁,就要理智的对待自己的情感,很多女孩就是因为某个男人而痛苦且消极的活着,感情的事情并不是谁能把握得了,为什么要被一个男人而让自己陷入不愉快的心情中呢?一个不懂得欣赏你的男人,没有资格让你为他难过悲伤,每一个女孩都是美丽的,她在等待着一个懂她的男人出现,某个男人的离开,只能说那个懂你的男人还没有出现,男人不是女孩生活的全部,与其让自己陷入到一个无望的爱情中,不如潇洒的转身,充实自己,让自己投入到工作学习中,等有一天那个离开你的男人发现你是如此的成功,一定会后悔他当初离开你的! 曾经我也以为我离开了他我不能活了,后来我问自己一百遍:离开了他,我还能不能活?结果有一百二十遍回答是:我会活的很好。女孩们千万不要践踏了自己,不要以为委曲求全就能换来一个男人的爱情,爱情是美丽的,女孩子也是美丽的,不容任何一个男人亵渎!离开那个不懂欣赏你的男人,这就是最华丽的转身,虽然心有不甘,但是痛苦的折磨反而让自己没有精力去经营你的工作或学习。 十:有着理财的动机,学习投资经营 女孩到了二十几岁,就要开始学会理财了,不要以为自己无法成为富翁,就花钱大手大脚的,也不要认为明天有挣不完的钱,而把今天的钱花在不应该花的地方。现在市场上有很多关于理财方面的书,都是不错的,女孩子们有时间可以看一下,要养成理财的好习惯,用钱生钱,可以多看了些投资经营方面的书籍,它们都是无形的财富。女孩们,不管现在你的收入有多少,都要为你的明天打算着,聪明的女人应该知道如何的花钱,如何花钱其实也是一门艺术。 Marry的老公是一个很有钱的男人,她有次跟我说他的老公,她说:我老公有的时候宁愿花很多钱去买一样东西,却在花小钱的时候计较。当时不懂,后来想想才发现,他老公之所以有钱就是因为他知道如何去花钱,把钱花在实用的东西上,不管是多么的贵都可以不眨下眼睛,而生活中有些多余的钱能省就省了。有些有钱人在生活中也会表现出吝啬,这就是他们一直以来的习惯,不然,他们是不会成为有钱人的。 十一:爱情跟婚姻是可以共同拥有的 女孩到了二十几岁,就要面临着婚姻的压力了,有人会说爱情跟婚姻是两码事,男人娶的女人是能一起过日子的,并不一定就是自己真正深爱的,女人嫁的男人是能给自己提供一个温暖且安逸的家,但并不定就是自己真正爱的。面对这些言论,好像很多人是为了结婚而结婚的,在家庭与社会的压力下,为了结婚而结婚了。有些人结婚也是有目的性的,可能是为了让自己有个地方停留,也可能是为了以后的事业有所帮助,也有可能是自己能从对方身上得到什么。 问一下那些甜蜜中的新婚,就会知道有时候爱情与婚姻是可以共同拥有的,所谓的婚姻是爱情的坟墓,只能说双方不懂得如何去经营爱情,相信当两个人决定结婚前,双方一定是对方有感觉的,只是婚后的日子让爱情变平淡了。这仅仅只是因为在婚姻以后,男人与女人都放下了爱情中的浪漫,投入到了工作中去。那些没结婚的女孩,千万不要为了某些目的而去结婚,结婚是非常单纯的事情,别搞的那么复杂,相信每个女孩都是渴望着爱情的。当女孩遇到自己深爱的那个人时,就会发现,想跟他在一起,可能无所谓贫富,无所谓生死。女孩不要为了结婚而结婚,也不要为了想得到某种生活而结婚。 十二:谁说女人不如男 女孩到了二十几岁,就要坚信不管是在生活中还是在职场中,并不只有男人才能有建树的,现在女性的思想都新潮了,成功的女人在各行各业中都有出现,只要女人努力了,她同样可以在男人的世界里穿梭。女人的资本有很多,在职场中女人略显优势,在有些行业里,女人会发挥着自己独特的优势去拼博着,她们都是美丽的,干练的气质,强硬的态度,都可以让男人臣服。女人不要总想着在厨房发展,有能力的女人才能够让男人们欣赏,现在不流行家庭主妇的角色了,外面有着大把精彩的世界等待着女人去追求。 女人不要想依附一个男人,在这个社会里,没有谁一定要没有理由的呵护谁。女人如何依附了一个男人,她就没有自己的思想,在这个个性使然的环境中,男人也都喜欢有个性有能力的女人。谁说女人不如男?努力吧,只要你拥有了属于自己的一片天空,你还害怕自己的这片天空下没有白云吗?只要你是一个才华出众的女人,还害怕优秀的男人不欣赏你吗? 十三:找一个能帮你实现梦想的老公 女孩到了二十几岁后,就要有着明确的梦想,然后再为了这个梦想去奋斗着,当你确定了一个梦想后千万不要改变,就好像当你发现到一个可以帮你实现梦想的男人,千万要想办法让他成为你的老公一样。女人不要以为有些梦想自己一个人就可以实现的,或者有些非常优秀的女人,特立独行的想通过自己的努力来实现梦想,但是如果有着男人做后盾,这个梦想就能得到很好的实现,特别是能提供资金支持的男人。 现在在生活里有梦想的女孩似乎很少,有些女孩只不过是想要拥有着简单的工作与简单的爱情,与一个男人在一起幸福的生活。而真正优秀的男人,他们也会希望自己的老婆是有抱负的女人,所以,如果女人有梦想,男人会全力支持的。女人完全可以让自己的梦想跟随着自己一起嫁给一个男人,只要他愿意帮你实现梦想,就说明他是一个懂得欣赏你的男人。 十四:就让青春放肆一些,笑容灿烂一些 女孩到了二十几岁后,就是正值青春年华,有着大把的青春可以放肆的崭放。女孩子可以适当的时候倔强一些,可以适当的时候骄傲一些,可以让那些美丽的嘴角微微的牵动着。二十几岁的女孩是最美的,可以肆意的笑,可以倔强的哭。二十几岁的女孩不要怕输,青春才刚刚开始,我们有着输的资本,我们可以重新开始自己的追求。二十几岁的女孩要做最真的自己,最美的年华留给灿烂的微笑,让爱情都鲜明的呈现,要敢爱敢恨,敢于追求。 女孩到了二十几岁后,就是一朵盛开最美丽的花,女孩的一季花期一定要记得只开给自己看,千万不要为了别人让自己的花期接受不必要的摧残。二十几岁的女孩是一杯清茶,其中的清秀一定要留给懂得品尝的人,别让那些没有品味的人践踏了你的清纯气息。二十几岁的女孩是片蔚蓝色的天空,它可是悲伤的,也可以是宽敞的,但,请记住,它一定是有追求的。 January 18 布什告别演讲 Bush's Farewell Address
各位公民:八年来,我有幸担任你们的总统。新世纪的第一个十年是一段意义重大的时期——一个时间分界点。今晚,我怀着一颗感谢的心,请求一个最后的机会,就我们一起走过的旅程以及国家的未来,与诸位分享一些想法。 英文全文如下:THE PRESIDENT: Fellow citizens: For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence — a time set apart. Tonight, with a thankful heart, I have asked for a final opportunity to share some thoughts on the journey that we have traveled together, and the future of our nation. Tonight I am filled with gratitude — to Vice President Cheney and members of my administration; to Laura, who brought joy to this house and love to my life; to our wonderful daughters, Barbara and Jenna; to my parents, whose examples have provided strength for a lifetime. And above all, I thank the American people for the trust you have given me. I thank you for the prayers that have lifted my spirits. And I thank you for the countless acts of courage, generosity, and grace that I have witnessed these past eight years. This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addressed you from this house — September the 11th, 2001. That morning, terrorists took nearly 3,000 lives in the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor. I remember standing in the rubble of the World Trade Center three days later, surrounded by rescuers who had been working around the clock. I remember talking to brave souls who charged through smoke-filled corridors at the Pentagon, and to husbands and wives whose loved ones became heroes aboard Flight 93. I remember Arlene Howard, who gave me her fallen son’s police shield as a reminder of all that was lost. And I still carry his badge. As the years passed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11. But I never did. Every morning, I received a briefing on the threats to our nation. I vowed to do everything in my power to keep us safe. Over the past seven years, a new Department of Homeland Security has been created. The military, the intelligence community, and the FBI have been transformed. Our nation is equipped with new tools to monitor the terrorists’ movements, freeze their finances, and break up their plots. And with strong allies at our side, we have taken the fight to the terrorists and those who support them. Afghanistan has gone from a nation where the Taliban harbored al Qaeda and stoned women in the streets to a young democracy that is fighting terror and encouraging girls to go to school. Iraq has gone from a brutal dictatorship and a sworn enemy of America to an Arab democracy at the heart of the Middle East and a friend of the United States. There is legitimate debate about many of these decisions. But there can be little debate about the results. America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil. This is a tribute to those who toil night and day to keep us safe — law enforcement officers, intelligence analysts, homeland security and diplomatic personnel, and the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Our nation is blessed to have citizens who volunteer to defend us in this time of danger. I have cherished meeting these selfless patriots and their families. And America owes you a debt of gratitude. And to all our men and women in uniform listening tonight: There has been no higher honor than serving as your Commander-in-Chief. The battles waged by our troops are part of a broader struggle between two dramatically different systems. Under one, a small band of fanatics demands total obedience to an oppressive ideology, condemns women to subservience, and marks unbelievers for murder. The other system is based on the conviction that freedom is the universal gift of Almighty God, and that liberty and justice light the path to peace. This is the belief that gave birth to our nation. And in the long run, advancing this belief is the only practical way to protect our citizens. When people live in freedom, they do not willingly choose leaders who pursue campaigns of terror. When people have hope in the future, they will not cede their lives to violence and extremism. So around the world, America is promoting human liberty, human rights, and human dignity. We’re standing with dissidents and young democracies, providing AIDS medicine to dying patients — to bring dying patients back to life, and sparing mothers and babies from malaria. And this great republic born alone in liberty is leading the world toward a new age when freedom belongs to all nations. For eight years, we’ve also strived to expand opportunity and hope here at home. Across our country, students are rising to meet higher standards in public schools. A new Medicare prescription drug benefit is bringing peace of mind to seniors and the disabled. Every taxpayer pays lower income taxes. The addicted and suffering are finding new hope through faith-based programs. Vulnerable human life is better protected. Funding for our veterans has nearly doubled. America’s air and water and lands are measurably cleaner. And the federal bench includes wise new members like Justice Sam Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts. When challenges to our prosperity emerged, we rose to meet them. Facing the prospect of a financial collapse, we took decisive measures to safeguard our economy. These are very tough times for hardworking families, but the toll would be far worse if we had not acted. All Americans are in this together. And together, with determination and hard work, we will restore our economy to the path of growth. We will show the world once again the resilience of America’s free enterprise system. Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced setbacks. There are things I would do differently if given the chance. Yet I’ve always acted with the best interests of our country in mind. I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right. You may not agree with some of the tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions. The decades ahead will bring more hard choices for our country, and there are some guiding principles that should shape our course. While our nation is safer than it was seven years ago, the gravest threat to our people remains another terrorist attack. Our enemies are patient, and determined to strike again. America did nothing to seek or deserve this conflict. But we have been given solemn responsibilities, and we must meet them. We must resist complacency. We must keep our resolve. And we must never let down our guard. At the same time, we must continue to engage the world with confidence and clear purpose. In the face of threats from abroad, it can be tempting to seek comfort by turning inward. But we must reject isolationism and its companion, protectionism. Retreating behind our borders would only invite danger. In the 21st century, security and prosperity at home depend on the expansion of liberty abroad. If America does not lead the cause of freedom, that cause will not be led. As we address these challenges — and others we cannot foresee tonight — America must maintain our moral clarity. I’ve often spoken to you about good and evil, and this has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two of them there can be no compromise. Murdering the innocent to advance an ideology is wrong every time, everywhere. Freeing people from oppression and despair is eternally right. This nation must continue to speak out for justice and truth. We must always be willing to act in their defense — and to advance the cause of peace. I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people. This is a nation that inspires immigrants to risk everything for the dream of freedom. This is a nation where citizens show calm in times of danger, and compassion in the face of suffering. We see examples of America’s character all around us. And Laura and I have invited some of them to join us in the White House this evening. We see America’s character in Dr. Tony Recasner, a principal who opened a new charter school from the ruins of Hurricane Katrina. We see it in Julio Medina, a former inmate who leads a faith-based program to help prisoners returning to society. We’ve seen it in Staff Sergeant Aubrey McDade, who charged into an ambush in Iraq and rescued three of his fellow Marines. We see America’s character in Bill Krissoff — a surgeon from California. His son, Nathan — a Marine — gave his life in Iraq. When I met Dr. Krissoff and his family, he delivered some surprising news: He told me he wanted to join the Navy Medical Corps in honor of his son. This good man was 60 years old — 18 years above the age limit. But his petition for a waiver was granted, and for the past year he has trained in battlefield medicine. Lieutenant Commander Krissoff could not be here tonight, because he will soon deploy to Iraq, where he will help save America’s wounded warriors — and uphold the legacy of his fallen son. In citizens like these, we see the best of our country - resilient and hopeful, caring and strong. These virtues give me an unshakable faith in America. We have faced danger and trial, and there’s more ahead. But with the courage of our people and confidence in our ideals, this great nation will never tire, never falter, and never fail. And so, my fellow Americans, for the final time: Good night. May God bless this house and our next President. And may God bless you and our wonderful country. Thank you. (Applause.) |
