凡事不可只看表面 Things are not as they appear

鸭子浮在水面上,静静地游啊游,你可看到水下它那不停抓挠的脚掌?酒桌上觥筹交错,碰杯干杯,有谁知酒桌下的勾心斗角?丝绸包裹的狗牙,破布包裹的象牙。鹰立如睡,虎行似病。凡事不可只看表面。

那位女同事的老公常常给她来电话,嘘寒问暖,午餐吃的啥等;也不忘在她生日时隆重祝贺一番。甚至有同事注意到,老公曾为她系鞋带云云,羡煞了那些年轻的小姑娘。可没过几年,那男士有了外遇,移情别恋了。更让那些年轻的小姑娘唏嘘不已。

妻子车间里的同事小华,找了一位农村来的大学生,其貌不扬,家境近乎贫寒了。与车间里的其他女孩找的男朋友相比,小华也曾暗暗流泪,无车无房,无人照看孩子,每月还要拿出点钱来给老人当生活费。没有甜言蜜语,没有让人艳羡的种种殷勤。只是那男孩子承揽了全部的家务,照料着孩子,还不忘自学。

几年过去了,那男孩考上了研究生,后来留校任教,小华也跟着进了大学校园,并在那里安了家。

当年女孩找的那些有车有房的男人们坐吃山空,越混越差,失业下岗,没了工作,有几对还离了婚。

真正的爱埋在心里。像金子一样贵重的东西,都会沉在海底,唯有马粪一样毫无价值的东西才会浮在表面。

因循守旧、按部就班、无所事事,这就是表面上的我。但我的内心却不是这样:心存高远、不安于现状、默默努力、等待时机。上初中时,老师就说野心勃勃,工作了领导讲不吱不声念真经。这就是我,不玩网游,不喜欢对抗性的体育运动,讷涩寡言笑,喜欢独处,静静地奋斗。

说到底,凡事不可只看表面。

年老智者与凶悍武士 A Wise Elder and Ferocious Warriors

智者住在大山里,那里山环水抱,风景优美,似是神仙住的地方。可智者年老体弱,又养活了那么多孩子,加之祖上也不殷实,没有留下什么家产,日子过得紧巴巴的。好在还有几亩薄田,凭着勤劳的一双手也能勉强维持着生计。

保护家园的事,智者不是不想,可哪有多余的钱用到那上面呢?倒是智者上过几年私塾,能够断文识字,闲来常研究孙子兵法、孙膑兵法、鬼谷子、三十六计等,对诸葛亮、刘伯温、张良、韩信崇拜得很,对他们的故事也讲得头头是道,了如指掌。

山那边住着一武士部落,人口少,家境殷实,好舞拳弄棒,现代化的武器应有尽有,战车、战马、枪炮等等俱全。毕竟,除了吃饭的钱以外,全拿来用到这上面了。名义上是保家,可谁知道其虎狼之心?

武士部落觊觎智者所占的风水宝地,蓄谋良久,终于战车开道,拉着大炮,骑着战马,浩浩荡荡,来攻占智者的家园了。

智者的弓箭长矛、猎枪土炮哪能与精良的枪炮相抗衡?智者接连失利,损失惨重,只好退进了大山里。

熟读兵书、善于研究谋略的智者终于有了良策。知己知彼,方能百战不殆。智者派人打探来了武士部落的情况,并从作战的方式方法上为来犯之敌把好了脉搏。

武士部落虽“船坚炮利”,武器精良,人员膘肥体壮,但少谋略,与深谋远虑的智者相去甚远。武士部落翻山越岭,鞍马劳顿,路途遥远来犯,必想着速决、速胜。

智者无法与敌正面抗衡,进入大山,武士之敌的战车、大炮等现代武器无法施展,又被智者牵着鼻子整天在大山里转悠,被搞得筋疲力尽。正想喘息之时,不知智者之兵从何处冒出,又被打得晕头转向,死伤无数。

相持多日,武士一伙粮草告急,只得无功而返。

智者总结经验:长远上讲,重谋略能够使自己把握全局,获得最终的胜利,但时间可能很长、很长,需要等待天时、地利、人和。武器是实力的象征,既注重谋略,也注重实力的提升,才能立于永不败之地。

二奇楼——最美石头古村落 Erqilou Village-- the Most Beautiful Ancient Stone Village

Hi, Steemit friends. Here is an old story, which I would like to share with you.
Erqilou is not a building, but the name of a village, all the houses of which are built of stones.
Located in Daolang Town, Daiyue District, Taian City, Shandong Province, this village has a landmark building which is a two-storey stone building, the first thing to see when you enter the village.

二奇楼不是楼,而是一个村落的名字,该村落的所有房子都是用石头盖起来的。
二奇楼位于山东省泰安市岱岳区道朗镇,走进该村,首先看到的就是这个村子的标志性建筑——一个全部用石头砌成的二层石头小楼。

More peculiar is that there is a stone sculpture in the middle of the building top, which is considered to be the totem of worship of reproduction, symbolizing multiplying descendants.
About this stone sculpture there is a convention passing on from generation to generation in the village: No one can touch the stone, otherwise a great calamity is at hand. Therefore, during the Cultural Revolution, the village and the stone sculpture on the building top were spared, without being destroyed.
Called Stone village, it is really worthy of the name. You can see stone roads, stone houses, stone mills, stone rollers, and stone cellars.

这个小楼奇特的地方就是顶部中间有一个石雕,被认为是生殖崇拜的图腾,象征子孙繁衍,传宗接代。
关于此石雕,村里人还有个世代相传的约定:任何人不能触碰石雕,否则会大难临头。所以,在文革期间,二奇楼和楼顶的石雕也得以幸免,没有遭到破坏。
说是石头村,真是名副其实。石头铺的路、石头盖的房子,随处可见石磨、石碾、石头水窖。

During the Cultural Revolution, some people thought that the village name was unlucky: The Chinese character (奇) “odd” means “strange”(怪), which is not auspicious to the development of the village, so renamed “二起楼村” (Erqilou Village).
Last year, with the development of the tourism industry, the government restored the name of “二奇楼村”(Erqilou Village) on the basis of local conditions and customs.
About the origin of the village:
According to historical documents, in the middle of Qing Dynasty, a family of Xiao moved here for refuge. Two brothers grazed cattle for other people. To prevent wild animals from attacking, they built such a two-storey building, where they lived above and the cattle were kept below.

文革期间,“破四旧、立四新”,部分村里人认为村名不吉利:“奇”就是“怪”,对村子的发展不吉利,所以改名为“二起楼村”。

去年,随着旅游产业的发展,政府征求村民意见,在综合考虑当地风土人情的基础上,又更名恢复为“二奇楼村”。

关于二奇楼村的来历:

据考证,清朝中期,有萧(肖)氏一族因避难而迁居此处。肖氏兄弟替人看牛,晚上在此过夜。为防止野兽,便盖了这样的二层小楼。上面住人,下面拦牛。

汉语有多难? How Difficult is Chinese

汉语有多难?外国人称之为“天书”,就算是以汉语为母语的我们中国人来说,纵然学到老,也不敢说就能完全掌握了。

搜肠刮肚,绞尽脑汁,有时竟找不到一个恰当的词语。就连常用的字也经常读错、写错,甚至根本不知如何读、如何写。

一、写出来的汉字简直美丽的如诗如画,可越是美丽的东西,往往越让你无可奈何,伤心欲绝。汉语的拼写绝大多数是没有规则的,让你如何去记忆?

二、学英语要有词典,学汉语要有字典。要学熟练如何使用汉语字典,也够你学一阵子了。本想找到了学习汉语的敲门砖,你却发现仅仅拿起这块砖也累得你够呛,何谈用它来打开汉语的大门。

三、汉语的语音语调更让你找不着北。同样的一个字、同样的一句话,语音语调一变,意思就完全不一样了。要是中间夹杂着一些方言、俗语、土话,就更让你发疯了。

四、中国文化源远流长,博大精深,汉语里面满是古诗词、典故、成语等等,如果你不知其来源和蕴含的意义,就会变成丈二的和尚——摸不着头脑了。

请看,下面这些字你可能说过、见过,但你未必对上号:

搲wǎ,动词,舀。举例:给我搲碗米。
薅hāo,拔除。举例:这鸡毛都没薅干净。
搋chuāi,用手掌压、揉,使掺入的东西和匀。举例:搋面。
熥tēng,把熟的食物再加热。举例:把饼熥熥再吃。
哕yuě,呕吐。举例:想干哕。
㧅dāo,用筷子夹。举例:㧅菜。
齁hōu,很,非常。举例:齁咸。
嬎fàn,生蛋。举例:母鸡嬎蛋。

再来看几个汉语八级考试题:

1.录音:小明你吃早饭了吗?——吃个蛋!
问:小明早餐吃的啥?

2.录音:小明,这碟子是小红的吗?——你大爷的,是我的!
问:这碟子是谁的?

老外不交白卷才怪呢。

还有一次考试让老外辨别“己、巳、已”这三个字。结果,有的老外拿尺子开始量这三个字上面部分开口的大小,有的干脆就直接晕倒了。

最后,老外们就感叹,上帝也学不好汉语!

为了孩子的未来,奔跑吧 Run! For the Future of Your Children

在与国际化的大都市接轨方面,上海走在了前列。

昨晚,远在上海工作的女儿与她妈妈微信聊天,聊到了上海孩子入学的问题。

上海现在一些有名的学校,比如复旦、交大等名校的小学、中学,甚至幼儿园在新生的录取上都有一项重要的面试:对新入学者家长的面试。如家长通不过面试,那孩子的入学也就泡汤了。

我们能够理解这些学校这样做的初衷。了解家长的职业状况、教育背景、兴趣爱好、品位素质等,透过家长更进一步了解孩子。毕竟,家长是孩子的第一任老师。面试就是看这第一任老师是否合格,言传身教给孩子哪些东西,并从家长身上发现有哪些好的或不好的东西已潜移默化地影响了孩子。

父母与孩子之间总有着千丝万缕的联系,这就是基因的力量。虎父无犬子,有其父必有其子,老鼠生来会打洞,瘦死的骆驼比马大等等,都是最好的解释。

来自父母有着良好教育家庭的孩子,举手投足,一言一行,为人处世,都彰显着其良好的家庭教育背景。

反观我们内地许多学校、家长的做法,真的令人不敢苟同。一个班60-70人,只要你家长拿钱,你的孩子就能随便来。

也有很多的土财主、暴发户、投机倒把而肥己者,大把花钱,为孩子找好的学校,甚至送孩子留洋。素质差、品位低,最终会影响孩子,而面试的目的就在这里。

也从另一方面,给我们的学校、教育部门,更为我们当家长的敲响了警钟!自己不合格,会影响下一代,甚至下下一代。

为了孩子的未来,努力吧!奔跑吧!

而能够吞下艰难、困苦和委屈含泪奔跑的人,就是英雄了。
