“一大串英文字中文用四個字就解決了真厲害”

雖然我明明都很喜歡學中文,可是我有時候覺得國語的“密度”也不一定是很勵害(亦即它的對其它語言的優勢)。用四塊石頭蓋房子也很勵害。。。可是誰想住在四個石頭裡面?用四個音符唱一首哥也很勵害。。。可是誰不喜歡巴河的超極多音調的音樂呢?

我覺得關健的差別就是因為中文是個單音結的語言,所以它當然會用比較“農密的”字表達想法。因為每一個音(即在文言文)當獨特的字,所以它們都應該能夠當有意思的字。把死個這些滿密的“獨字”連在一起的話,句子當然會更密的了。另外,看修辭的風格的話,句子越短越會強調單音結的語言的特色,反而多音結的語言比較合適用多音結的句子。雖然國語是很多小孩子母語,反正他們學很密的國語的時候,老師也必需用比較長的比較“多音結的”文法解釋意思。

"The Whole of the Moon" by The Waterboys



LYRICS:

I pictured a rainbow
You held in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw then plan
I wondered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!

You were there at the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the stars
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon!

I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truths
You cut through lies
I saw the rain-dirty valley
You saw brigadoon
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon!

I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried
You just knew
I sighed
But you swooned
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!

With a torch in your pocket
And the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon!
The whole of the moon!

Unicorns and cannonballs,
Palaces and piers,
Trumpets, towers, and tenemets,
Wide oceans full of tears,
Flag, rags, ferry boats,
Scimitars and scarves,
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars

You climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like a comet
Blazing your trail
Too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon!

你描述女生得怎麼那麼厲害呢?


關健的時期(剪報)是從三十至六十妙。

女的秘書:你到低不知道你寫的小說對我有什麼意義!

Melvin Udall: 那麼,我寫的對你有什麼意義?

祕書:就讓我知道在世界上有別人瞭解在我的心裡又在我身上是怎樣了。

Melvin: 哇,天啊,這就像惡夢!

秘書:少來,來吧,只一些問題而已啦! 那麼難嗎? ...你怎麼那麼厲害可以描繪女人呢?

Melvin:我想像一個男生,然後攘除理性與可說明性啊!

這個短片提醒我們那條金句: 一言既出,如箭射出。
