As the weather is getting hotter, I've started eating

a popsicle everyday. One day, I was eating my tasty popsicle at Seven-11. A little boy stood there and watched me eating my popsicle for quite a while. Poor little boy, I couldn't bear seeing a little kid just stand there, craving for my popsicle. So I gave him a chair and said to him, “Why don’t you sit down and watch.”

天气越来越热了，我开始每天都吃一根冰棍。有一天，我正在Seven-11便利店里啃着我的冰棍，一个小孩站在那儿，眼睛直直地盯着我很长一段时间。真可怜，我想。一个小孩子怎么能就那样站在那里看着我吃冰棍呢？于是我拉来一张凳子，跟他说： “ 来，你坐着看吧。”

In a University physics class, the professor was explaining

a quite complicated concept. A student sitting at the back interrupted him.

“Why do we have to learn all this?” the young man blurted out.

“To save lives.” answered the professor.

After a few minutes, that student spoke up again, “how does physics save lives?”The professor stared at him for a long time. “Physics saves lives,” he said, “because it keeps idiots out of medical school.”

在大学的物理课上，教授正在解释一堆复杂无比的物理概念。一个坐在教室后面的学生站起来，打断了他：

“为什么我们要学这些深奥的东西呀？”年轻人不耐烦地发问。

“为的是救人性命。”教授不紧不慢地回答。

几分钟之后，这个学生又站起来，问：“物理怎么救人性命？”

教授定定地盯着他。过了许久，才说：“物理能救人性命，是因为它保证是笨蛋的都进不了医学院！”

final Resolution Verdict Six months ago these guys joined our New Year resolution challenge team and vowed to reach their goal. Their terms have just finished and here are their final results.

6个月以前，这几位勇士加入了我们的新年愿望挑战大军，誓要实现他们的目标。现在他们的实验期结束了，让我们一起来看看他们各应该得几分吧。

QueStionS 问题：

1. did you reach your resolution goal?你实现了自己的新年愿望吗？

2. Why did you (not) reach your goal? Where did it go wrong? 为什么（没）坚持下来了呢？在哪个地方出了问题？

3. Will you continue with your resolution in the future?以后你还会坚持下去吗？

chriS noSeWorthy1. No, I didn't.

2. At first, I did pretty well but, after failing the first time, I found myself continuously postponing the next quit date. I started making excuses to justify my procrastination (too busy/stressed this week, next week will be more convenient, I'll quit after I start riding my bike to work, I should start dieting first, etc). I think that was my biggest mistake. It will never be the "perfect time" to quit, so I should've just committed myself and done it.

3. Absolutely. I don't want to be a smoker forever. I've just finished a great book called "The Power of Habit" (by Charles

Duhigg). It's given me a lot of insight into the nature of habits, and I've been putting it into practice with some other bad habits. Hopefully these "small wins" will give me the confidence to tackle smoking for good.

1. 没实现。

2.刚开始还坚持得好好的。后来，自从破戒抽了一根烟开始，就很难回到从前，重新开始了。我开始给自己找各种理由（这周太忙了、压力太大了，下周再重新开始吧；我会在骑车上班的时候再重新开始戒；等等），这大概是我犯的最大错误。所谓戒烟的“完美时机”根本不存在，其实我应该努力兑现自己许下的承诺。

3.以后肯定是要继续坚持的。我不想一直都做一个烟鬼。最近我刚看完了一本叫做《论习惯》的书，作者是查尔斯·都希格。这本书让我认识了习惯的强大力量，我也一直试着用其中的建议来跟其他恶习作抗争。希望这些一点一点的进步，能让我培育出足够的自信心，直到坚持完全把烟戒掉为止。

ian hayneS1. Yes! My resolution goal wound up changing a bit from a number based weight to more of a size and strength goal. I increased my weight to 77kg, I feel stronger and people have told me I look a lot bigger, so I would say I reached my goal.

2. I moved away from the commercial gym and into a local private dojo founded by my friend Jordan. We moved the dojo into my own place where I started coordinating group pumps about 4 times a week. It’s an old school style CrossFit + free weights training with a barbell and a few dumbbells. I recently adopted the Bruce Lee regimen and have had even better results.

There were some difficult months. There was sickness, traveling, and other personal issues that made it hard to stay dedicated. Even though I never fully stopped, sometimes it was hard to get many workouts in, and as anyone has tried will know it is very easy to slide backwards. However, I really buckled down in the last few months and have seen serious improvement.

3. I do plan to continue working out. Now my body is used to getting regular intensive exercise and I feel like I need it. I feel great and my desire to improve has only grown. I’m already getting pumped for next summer.

1.对！我的目标从一开始的增加体重变成了现在的增加肌肉和力量。现在体重升到了77公斤，觉得自己更强壮了，大家也跟我说，现在的我个头儿更大了。

2.一开始我去健身房锻炼，后来去了朋友开的一家空手道学校。后来我干脆就在自己家里练起来了。我们一群人开练，采用了一种CrossFit和自由重量锻炼中常用的方法，每周四次。后来我还模仿了一些李小龙的训练套路，效果挺好。

当然也有过不顺畅的时候。之前生病，跟朋友出去玩，以及一些私人的事情都打破了我的健身规划。虽然我从来没有真正地停止过，不过长期保持锻炼真的很难，相信你们也能理解吧。不过，过去几个月我真的练壮了很多！

3.我会继续健身锻炼。现在我的身体已经逐渐适应了高强度的运动，现在要是不锻炼的话还真的不适应。这种感觉真好。我想要变得更强壮的愿望有增无减。不信的话你明年夏天再来瞧瞧。

dreaMy hao 郝梦婕1. No. I failed.

2. I was confident when I just started going to the gym. It was actually not bad. With proper diet control and workouts, I lost 4 kg after the first few months. But then it

became more and more difficult to keep the routine for all sorts of reasons. I did less and less workout, and my weight came back to the previous stage eventually.

3. Yes I will keep going with this resolution. It should be a long-term goal to lose weight. I haven’t reached what the doctor called a “healthy weight”, so I thought I’d keep trying. Therefore, I will continue doing some simple movements such as running; stay away from desserts and carbon drinks. In fact, I am not a big fan of desserts!

1. 没有！

2.刚开始去健身房的时候还是信心十足的，在起初几个月的时候，还是有效果的，饮食控制加上锻炼大概瘦了八斤左右，但是后来因为各种原因就把去健身房锻炼给耽误了，导致越来越少的运动，减肥很快就到了瓶颈期，后来几乎算是回到了刚开始。

3.我觉得我还会继续吧，减肥应该是一个长期性的目标，毕竟现在还没有达到医生说的健康体重，所以接下来我还是进行一些简单的运动，比如跑步；在饮食方面尽量少一些甜食和碳酸饮料。事实上，我并不是特别偏爱甜食！

Geraldo Pizzato 1. Unfortunately, I could not achieve my goal.

2. I had to stop my classes, for work reasons. Also, another obstacle was my hearing problem (physical problem has already been solved).

3. I intend to continue my lessons in July. Requires a lot of discipline and I hope I can keep my plan to learn Chinese.

1.实在遗憾，我没能实现我的目标。

2.因为工作的原因，我不得不中止了我的汉语学习。还有一个障碍就是我的听力不大好（不过已经休养好了）。

3.7月份我会尝试继续学习。我知道这需要很多原则和恒心，希望自己能继续学习汉语。

andréa Pizzato1. I think my English has improved a lot.

2. However it's necessary increase the number of classes per week. I think this detracted the advance of my learning. The classes are not as frequent as before.

In December, I could understand almost nothing and I was afraid of speaking English. Today, I feel great about that difference. I understand very well and I am more confident to speak.

I do not know exactly if I reached my goal. Honestly, I don't remember the exactly number of words I was supposed to learn. But I'm sure I improved and learned a lot. My English is much better!

3. Yes I definitely will continue learning English!

1. 我觉得我的英语进步了很多。

2.不过学英语需要每周上很多堂课。我觉得这一点对我不太有利。我上英语课堂也不像一开始的时候那么频繁。

十二月的时候，我基本上什么都听不懂，一句英文都不敢说。但今天，我觉得进步了很多。现在大部分人跟我说英语我都听得懂，而且说的时候也更自信了。

不知道这能不能叫做实现了目标。老实说，我都不记得自己应该学多少个单词了。不过我能肯定的是，自己进步了很多，我的英语比以前流利多了！

3. 对！我肯定会继续学习英语！

eceM Kurtuluş, turKiSh 土耳其人1st: GermanyWhy? Because they are super strong a team.

2nd: MexicoWhy? Because they party hard.

3rd: Costa RicaWhy? They have great fans (stronger than the team).

第一名：德国队原因：他们队凝聚力很强！第二名：墨西哥队原因：他们太爱玩儿了！第三名：哥斯达黎加队原因：他们的球迷阵容很强大（比队伍的实力还要强）。

Pratt BrooKMan, Ghanaian 加纳人1st: Netherlands.Why? Because they have a solid team, spirit and great determination.

2nd: GermanyWhy? Because they have wealth of experience. Besides I think it’s time for them to take a step forward after placing 3rd in previous 2 editions.

3rd: BrazilWhy? I feel it would compensate them for having been the host country and restore some of their past glories as one of the best football nations in the World Cup.

第一名：荷兰队原因：他们队伍很团结，踢球很卖力，而且他们有必胜的信念。第二名：德国队原因：他们很有经验，而且我觉得他们上2届都拿了第三，这次也该有点进步了。第三名：巴西队原因：毕竟他们是世界上最优秀的球队之一，而且这次又是主场踢球，总该展现一下昔日雄风吧！

咖啡茶解意天台更怡情

Coffee, Teaand a Patiofor Thee

My Stomping GroundsFirst I took a walk to some places around my home turf on Nanjing Lu. I went past

the Café Inn’s outdoor patio and then over to May 4th Square where I saw that

THEDINER | SPARK CAFÉ & BREWERY has gotten itself some new outdoor furniture.

I also saw that just past there is a new café/bar that may be worth checking out.

Next I jogged over to Book City and stopped in at Old Jack’s, which is now open

from 10am and is serving coffee and cake. Rumor has it a sandwich shop will open

next door and customers are welcome to bring their sandwiches back to Old Jack’s

and can enjoy a cold drink with their lunch.

我的生活圈周边首先我到我家附近的南京路周围溜达了一圈儿，经过碧海咖啡厅，辗转来到了

五四广场，在那里又看到了丹尼美式餐厅|SPARK咖啡和酿酒坊，它们都已经开始

添置户外家具，以备夏日之需。我还注意到了一家新开的咖啡酒吧，值得将来一探

究竟。之后，我慢跑至书城，在老杰克咖啡店歇脚小憩，在这里你可以享用到咖啡

和蛋糕，早上十点就开门迎客了喔！据小道消息称，旁边将会开一个三明治店，老

杰克欢迎广大食客拿着三明治到那儿，享用他们的美味冷饮。

Marina CityAfter spending a while inland, I decided to head towards the ocean and get a whiff

of sea breeze while checking out Marina City. I walked past the Pirate One Piece

store on my left, to then discover a neat little place called Lego Coffee (I love Legos

and their patio. But, think the two are unrelated.). After continuing toward the sea,

I walked past several places that seem promising before turning the corner and

encountering a venue that seems to be fairly popular called Café Bene.

百丽广场搜完“内陆”后，我便向海边行进，准备呼吸一下大海的气息，顺道儿去百丽

广场逛逛。穿过左边的一家叫“贼船”的卖动漫模型的店，我发现了一个幽静整洁

的小地方——积木咖啡（我超爱积木咖啡以及它店外的天台，但是之前一直不知道

它们都为积木咖啡所有）。继续向着海边前进，在拐角处我“瞄”到了好几处看起

来应该不错的地方，我还看到了咖啡陪你，貌似很有名的样子。

I t’s now summer and outdoor patios, can be great places to spend a lazy afternoon, especially if you’re a people-watcher, as I am. Or you

may find that a quiet shady spot is more up your alley, outdoor patios have that covered as well. In fact, I’ve gone around town and taken a few snap-shots of some outdoor patios I thought might be fine places to while away a few hours.

炎炎夏日，当然不能做“宅神”。如果你像我一样也是个“看客”的话，在户外天台上度过一个慵懒的下午是最好不过的了。或许你觉得静谧的阴凉地儿也不错，那么，有些户外天台也能满足你这个愿望。不瞒你说，我已经搜遍全城，拍摄了一组户外天台的照片，这些地方一定会成为你消遣时光的好去处。

Let’s go for a bite, a coffee, a drink. Let’s get it with ice, and with sweets (I think). Let’s sit here outside, at hotties, you’ll wink. Justin

Waulters kicks back at some of Qingdao’s best outdoor patios.

让我们一起吃喝玩乐，大快朵颐。让我们畅游在冰饮和甜品的世界里流连忘返。让我们置身室外，大饱“眼福”。Justin搜城归来，为我们带来岛城最赞

户外天台信息。

The Old TownSome friends once told me to not only go towards Daxue Lu but also get closer to the train station. I did, and found some great places with outdoor patio gardens. My favorite place here is ChunXiao Coffee. It is very quiet and homey. There is also the MiGao Coffee Bar which has a great garden and plenty of natural shade. Walking through Enjoy Café one might see that bringing a group of friends for a friendly round of badminton or Ping-Pong is not only possible but encouraged. Also, it is worth a short trip over to the Sunset Lounge not only for the comfortable outdoor seating and but the opportunity to meet some interesting people.

老城区友人曾支招给我，不能仅沿着大学路逛，还要慢慢溜达到靠火车站近的地方才是。我谨遵“教导”，然后发现了一些超赞的户外露天花园。其中我最爱的是春晓咖啡，它布置的非常静谧，有家的感觉。附近还有一个米高咖啡馆，最赞的是它有一个很棒的小花园，里面树影斑驳，甚是清凉。在Enjoy Café你还可以带上朋友来打上一场羽毛球或乒乓球。更值得一提的是，去日落咖啡来消遣一把，不仅可以享受到舒适惬意的户外休憩，还有机会认识一帮风趣的人，何乐而不为呢？

the sounds of the Ocean

听海时光

yongbin Liu, who hails from the South of China, along with his best friend own and manage the Sound of Ocean Hotel. Known also as the

Tinghai Shiguang Hotel it is located in the Huichang Community 会场社区 of Laoshan and modeled on a traditional villa-styled house.

The hotel stands almost on the edge of the sea close to the Laoshan scenic area. From its wide terrace you can enjoy 180-degree views of the vast ocean, which is simply stunning. If you're not afraid of dirt and want to get closer to nature, the beach right in front of the hotel has plenty of sea animals to see - clams, scallops and crabs. There is also a spacious balcony, which serves as a BBQ spot. You can either feed yourself with the seafood that you have harvested, or be fed by the hotel’s BBQ buffet for the modest price of 80元 per person. This is not to mention the numerous local restaurants, all of which are top notch. Shamao Mountain and a fishing corner nearby also provide additional distractions for hotel guests.

The 25 rooms in the hotel offer different sizes and styles to suit their guests - suits, lofts, big and small rooms with prices ranging from 280 - 1080元, and which occasionally varies depending on the season. Oh yes…the price also

includes free breakfast!

By public transport, you can go either with a bus to Wang Ge Zhuang 王哥庄 or Yangkou 仰口, or hire a taxi and head to the Huichang Community in Wang Ge Zhuang 会场社区. On the way you can pick up some of the freshest fruit in the area from the nearby farms, such as peaches and blueberries. The hotel is a great spot to escape to for a refreshing and cool break from the city summer heat. Jieling Liu

南方人刘用斌与朋友合开的这家海洋主题酒店，位于崂山

会场社区，由一幢别墅改建而成。

酒店临海而立，依傍崂山，一个硕大的露天观海平台，可以尽情饱览无尽的大海，景色开阔壮美。花园庭院可以直通海滨步栈道。门口就是万亩海滩的赶海园，海湾盛产

蛤蜊和螃蟹。喜欢亲力劳动的人可以挽起裤腿直接下海，挖蛤蜊，抓螃蟹。酒店门口有一个硕大的海景烧烤平台，从赶海园里挖上来的海鲜，可以直接拿回来烧制。酒店也提供80元一位的自助烧烤套餐。周围亦有各色海鲜餐馆，丰俭由人。旁边还有纱帽山可以攀爬，喜爱钓鱼者，也有供悠闲垂钓的角落。

酒店共有25个房间，涵盖了套房、阁楼、大床房等不同房型，价格在280-1080元不等，旺季时会稍作调整。酒店提供免费早餐服务。

乘坐公交车去听海时光酒店，可以坐到王哥庄或仰口站；自驾游的话，开车到崂山的王哥庄会场社区，酒店就在不远的海边上。自驾游崂山，顺路还可以在附近的果园购买到最新鲜的时令水果，比如蓝莓、桃子等。暂离水泥森林，来这里呼吸大自然的新鲜能量吧。

The Sweet Legends of Italy

广告 • 地方 // PLACES /

myredstar.com 15

意大利甜蜜传说Jieling Liu knocks on the door of Italian Culture and enters a sweet and flavourful world at the Marina City.

源自意大利的甜蜜和冰凉漂洋过海，来到了岛城百丽广场。Jieling前去先尝为快。

"there are no beautiful flowered emblems on our gelatos and coffees – and they even look a bit

ugly, because we focus on the taste and quality." This line printed on a leaflet at the TRAST Gelato & Bar caught my eye.

There are 18 different flavours of gelato here including lemon, Nutella, chilly chocolate, mango and dark chocolate. The mango tastes fresh, natural, soft and smooth, like silk caressing your throat. The combination of dark chocolate and milk gives a perfect balance to your palate, sweet and bitter and soft and hard. But the Nutella and lemon flavours are the two standouts. Occasionally they even make gelato with mint and green tea flavours. Three sizes are available – big, medium and small (with the prices of 40 / 30 / 20元 respectively).

All the gelato are made by Elisabetta a young native Italian, who runs the business together with her husband,

Chenshuo Liu from Liaocheng, Shandong. Liu used to be a designer and he and Elisabetta met in Beijing, fell in love and now live happily in Qingdao making and selling gelato and representing the quintessence of traditional Italian cuisine and culture.

Located in the West wing of the Marina City and having opened last September, the Trast Gelato & Bar was originally named Trastevere after a famous area in Rome. However the name was too long for most people to remember. Later as Liu split half of the office space to sublet to another business owner, he also decided to split the name from the middle so that it was easier to remember. Therefore it became “Trast”, which also happens to be a homophonic for the word “trust”.

There’s more than gelato here - they also make some rare types of coffee, such as Bicerin and Corretto along with a small selection of cocktails.

"我们的冰激凌和咖啡没有漂亮的花朵，甚至看上去有些丑陋，因为我们专注味道和质量”。印在TRAST意式冰激凌和餐吧宣传单上的这句话，引起了我的浓厚兴趣。

这里的意式冰激凌有 1 8 种不同风味，像是柠檬、Nutella、辣椒巧克力、芒果、黑巧克力等口味，相当受欢迎。芒果口味清新鲜香，绵软、柔滑；黑巧克力与牛奶的结合，是香甜软柔之中包容着坚硬与苦楚；Nutella和柠檬口味是这里的明星。偶尔他们也会做薄荷和绿茶口味。分大、中、小三种规格来卖，价格分别为40、30、20元每杯。

这里所有的意式冰激凌均由意大利姑娘Elisabetta制作，她与丈夫，也就是TRAST阳台的老板，来自山东聊城的年轻设计师刘晨硕，一起做起了这让意大利人骄傲的“国粹”——Gelato，意大利手工冰激凌。这对恋人于北京相识，去意大利感情发展升温，回中国细水长流。他们将爱情拌润于在这传统的手工的冰激凌之中。

去年9月，这家店在百丽广场西区开门迎客。原来起名为TRASTEVERE - 特韦雷阳台，名字太长,很多顾客记不住。在将店面其中一半分开租出去时，老板决定，顺便把名字也从中间分开，短点更好记。于是只剩下了TRAST，也取其与“Trust”（信赖）谐音之意。

除了意大利冰激凌之外，他们还制作咖啡，当中包括一些不常见的口味，包括都灵杯和克烈特。还有意大利简餐和还有少数鸡尾酒饮料。

＊传统意大利手工冰激凌源自十三世纪的西西里岛。之所以强调意式冰激凌名为gelato，而非ice cream，是因为gelato的基本成分是鲜牛乳和各种时令水果、坚果等，并且含空气量很少，而不是像ice cream添以奶油。

eyeS on Brazil 放眼巴西队So who will be the ones to rock the boat in Brazil this summer? Let’s takes a look at four of the teams poised to crash the party in 2014.

谁将成为今夏巴西队的拦路虎？让我们一起来看看2014年四支来“踢馆”巴西的球队。

franceSome may protest at the decision to label the 1998 world champions ‘dark horses’, but a lot has happened in French football since then. Having said that, this team has been quietly building for some time now and, with the likes of Karim Benzema and Paul Pogba firing on

all cylinders, France have the chance to land themselves right back on the centre-stage of world football.

Key Man: Karim BenzemaMy Prediction: With a favourable Second Round draw, France has the pedigree to stay the distance.

法国队很多人可能会抗议把这支1998年的世界杯

冠军称之为“黑马”，但从那时开始，法国队确实改头换面了不少。这支球队一直以来都在韬光养晦，本泽马和博格巴更是让法国厚积薄发，最终有机会站在世界杯的中心舞台上。

关键人物：卡里姆·本泽马我的预测：对其有利的第二轮平局之后，法国队很可能会令对手望尘莫及。

KnoW your hiStory历史概览World Cup upsets (or ‘cupsets’, as they are cheekily referred to in England) are nothing new. Many will remember South Korea in 2002, who, even as hosts of the tournament, were expected to do a brief cameo in the Group Stage before retiring once the real competition got underway. The Koreans had other ideas, dumping out Italy and Spain before finally surrendering to a mightily relieved German side in the semi-finals.

And let’s not forget Cameroon’s performance at Italia ’90, which stunned the world and changed African football forever. Expected

to be whipping boys, the Indomitable Lions lived up to their nickname, roaring to the quarter-finals where they were finally slain by a resurgent England. Their incredible opening day scalp of world champions Argentina is widely considered to represent the moment African football came of age.

Those with memories stretching back a little farther may even recall the World Cup of 1966. It was here that North Korea, so mysterious and unfancied that one commentator even said that they ‘might as well have flown in from outer space’, shook the world by defeating Italy 1-0 en route to a very respectable quarter-finals exit.

世界杯爆冷（英国人戏称为“杯冷”）已经不再是新闻了。很多人应该都记得2002年的韩国，虽然是当时的世界杯举办国，但人们都

觉得韩国队在小组赛中就会被淘汰出局。而他们却令人刮目相看，横扫劲旅意大利和西班牙队，最终在半决赛中败北，输给了强大的德国队。

同样，我们还应该记住喀麦隆在90年代意大利世界杯上的表现。那一年喀麦隆震惊全世界，从此永远改变了非洲足球队在世界杯上打酱油的局面，这只骁勇善战的雄狮正如它的绰号一样，一路嘶吼狂奔，冲进四分之一决赛，最终败在了正值复活期的英格兰手中。喀麦隆在参战首日便力克世界杯冠军——阿根廷队，从此标志着非洲足球时代已经到来。

如果再往前回忆回忆，有些人或许还能记得1966年的世界杯。那一年北朝鲜一直默默无闻，有评论家甚至说他们“来自外太空”，但是正是这只神秘的球队最终以1:0击败意大利队，拿到了四分之一决赛的入场券，让世界为之震惊。

With World Cup Fever gripping the world fans have been largely following the powerhouse teams from Europe and South America. But what about those lesser known teams that has also made World Cup History? Chris Lawrence recalls some of these momentous moments.

随着世界杯的热潮席卷全球，全世界的球迷们都在关注欧洲和南美球队。但是又有谁会知道，在世界杯历史上，还有一些不知名的球队，同样发挥了重要作用。Chris将和我们一起来回忆这些伟大的历史时刻。

the World Cup party is in full swing and the eyes of the world are fixed on the likes of Brazil’s Neymar,

Argentina’s Lionel Messi, and Germany’s Thomas Müller as they vie to lead their teams to glory on the world’s biggest sporting stage. But the road to victory on July 13th is littered with banana skins. There are 32 teams in the competition and, aside from the usual footballing powerhouses; a few of the tournament’s upstarts will be quietly fancying their chances of gatecrashing Brazil’s party.

世界杯狂欢派对正热闹非凡，全世界的注意力都被吸引到了巴西的内马尔，阿根廷的梅西以及德国的穆勒身上。因为他们作为队长，都力争让自己的队伍在世界最大的体育舞台上挥师夺冠，荣耀世界。但是通往7月13胜利之日的道路上却布满荆棘。撇开一贯的劲旅球队不说，共有32个球队逐此殊荣，一些新兴球队更是虎视眈眈，加入这场争夺战之中。

A few weeks ago, I was at a housewarming party at a friend’s place. The place was stocked with beer, cheese and crackers,

BBQ chicken wings and drinking games. We were playing a friendly game of beer pong where we filled the plastic playing cups half with tap water and we would drink out of our beer bottles if the other team sunk a ball. Every time a ball plopped into a cup everyone would say, “Drink from your beer bottle not from the cup… it’s tap water.” They said it as if the water was poisonous and never would have thought I’d see the day when beer was safer than water. So, it made me think, “Is the water in Qingdao really that dangerous, or are we just being overly dramatic?”

I found out that the majority of Qingdao’s water comes from Laixi. So I took a trip to get a first hand look at where our water comes from. Laixi is a small town on the outskirts of Qingdao. I visited the Chanzhi Reservoir, the largest reservoir in Shandong, which provides Qingdao with two thirds of its water through almost 100 kilometers of underground piping. There are 56 reservoirs that service water to local areas. It’s the largest water reservoir in Jiaodong Peninsula with a water capability of over 400 million cubic meters1.

Laixi is surround by rolling and hilly farmlands that rely heavily on the areas water source. Almost half of the water pollution in China is due to agricultural runoff from farmers which using excess amounts of nitrite containing fertilizers and pesticides2. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 75% of all disease in China stems from water pollution. So many pollutants that may find their way into your water and then become ingested could have a detrimental impact on your health.

four tyPeS of contaMinantS • Naturally Occurring Chemical (Rock and Soils) • Chemicals from Agricultural (Manure, Fertilizer and Pesticides)• Chemicals from Human Settlements (Sewage and Water Disposal, Fuel Leakage, and Urban Runoff)• Chemicals from Water Treatment (Corrosion and Leaching from storage tanks and pipes)

几个星期前，我去了我朋友举办的温居派对。派对上，大家一块喝啤酒，吃芝士和饼干。我们还烤了鸡翅，玩了会儿游戏。游戏中，我们

用塑料杯装了半杯自来水，然后往对方面前的杯子里面扔乒乓球。如果球进了对方的杯子，对方就必须把一瓶啤酒喝光。每一次要是有球

进到对方的杯子，我们就会说，“从瓶子里倒啤酒喝吧，千万别喝那杯水…里面装的是自来水。”他们说的好像水里有毒一样。我从来没有想过会有一天，啤酒会比水更安全。这不禁让我思考：“究竟是青岛的水真的那么危险，还是他们太小题大做？”

我发现，青岛的水主要来自青岛的腹地莱西。所以，我决定亲自去莱西走一趟，看看我们的自来水究竟是来自哪里。到了莱西，我去参观了产芝水库。这座胶东半岛上最大的水库，库容量达4亿立方米。水库2/3的水送往青岛，地下输水管道有100平方千米。此外还有有56座供应给当地居民的大小水库。

莱西四周为丘陵农田所环绕，而农田很大程度上依赖于当地的区域水源。在中国，几乎一半的水污染都归因于农业生产使用亚硝酸盐化肥和杀虫剂所产生的污水。世界卫生组织（WHO）估计，在中国，75％的疾病都是由水污染而引起的。如此发散的污染源，很可能会以各种肉眼难以看见的形式进入你所使用或饮用的水中，对你的健康产生不利影响。

水中含有的四种主要物质分别是：• 自然生成的化学物质（石头和泥土）• 农业生产产生的化学物质（粪肥、化肥和杀虫剂）• 人类生活产生的化学物质（下水道和水处理装置，燃油泄漏，城市径流）• 水处理装置产生的化学物质（储水罐、水管受到腐蚀而渗出的化学物质）

Watch this space.

Key Man: James Rodriguez My Prediction: If they can top their group, this side can scrap their way to the semis. Then who knows?

healthy Water SolutionS for eVeryone健康饮水的几种方式

Boiled Water ProS: Boiling water is the most common and inexpensive way to treat tap or unclean water in China to make it drinkable.

conS: Boiling water does not necessarily clean or remove harmful substances from water. It can kill bacteria and microorganisms, but certain types of parasites, spores, and cysts may still exist in the water. Also, there can be leftover chemicals and heavy metals in the water such as Lead, Copper and Mercury.

白开水优点：把水煮沸是最常见也是最经济实惠的消毒方式，自来水或是不干净的水在煮沸后可以直接饮用。

缺点：将水煮沸并不一定能清理掉水中的有害物质，保证水质干净。煮沸能够杀死水中的细菌和微生物，但是某些寄生虫、孢子和囊仍然会残留在水中。而且，煮沸的水中也会有一些化学残留和重金属（铅、铜和水银）残留。

Barreled Water ProS: It’s one of the cheapest ways to get drinkable water delivered to your house or office. For twelve coupons you get twelve barrels delivered right to your doorstep and costs around 120 RMB.

conS: Even though the water has been bottled, the barrels are recycled and may contain Bisphenol A, which can put you at risk for a myriad of health problems2. Barreled water usually has a shelf life of three to seven days. After a week the water barrels can become a breeding ground for bacteria.

桶装水优点：桶装水可以直接送到家庭或是办公室，方便快捷，经济实惠。仅需120元，你就能够买到12张水票，送水公司会把水直接送到你门前。

缺点：尽管水都经过装桶密封保存，但是装水的桶都经过了回收再利用，会有双酚A残留在桶中，双酚A会引发各种健康问题。桶装水一般只有3-7天的保质期。超过一周的桶装水会滋生大量的细菌。

reVerSe oSMoSiS (ro) filtration SySteMProS: Reverse Osmosis (RO) filters removes a lot of pollutants from drinking water as it uses a semipermeable membrane to separate clean water from contaminated water. The wasted water is then discharged down a drainage or sewage pipe.

conS: RO filters usually waste more water than they produce clean drinking water. It will waste several liters of water for each liter it filters. Also, the RO system removes 90 percent of total dissolved solids, and can filter out nutritious minerals like calcium.

反渗透过滤系统优点：反渗透过滤系统使用半透膜来分离净水，因此能够去除饮用水中的大量污染物质。过滤后的废水可以通过水管排出或者直接排入下水道。

缺点：反渗透过滤系统通常在净水过程中浪费的水要远远多于过滤出的净水。每过滤一升水就要浪费好几升自来水。而且，反渗透过滤系统会将水中90%的可溶解物质过滤掉，包括对人体健康有益的矿物质，如钙。

carBon BlocK Water filter ProS: Filters heavy metals and volatile organic chemicals including chlorine, fluoride and bacteria and keeps healthy substances in your drinking water. Plus it doesn’t waste water, or require electricity to use. Multipure carbon block filters are one of the best filters in the market for residential and commercial use.

conS: It takes up counter space and you need a secondary faucet for your sink. In some cities it is hard to find in malls and department stores.

活性炭净水器优点：活性炭净水器能够过滤重金属和挥发性有机化合物，包括包括氯，氟和细菌等，并保留水中的有益物质。另外，它一点也不浪费水，也不需要插电使用。美而浦净水器是目前市面上最好的净水器，住家和商用皆可。

缺点：它比较占用柜台空间，而且你需要在水槽里接两个水龙头。在一些城市，商场和购物中心都很难买到美而浦净水器。

W ith quality interior design, it can evoke the feeling of comfort and freedom, as well as hope and motivation for a

better life. It shouldn't intimidate or paralyze you with exaggerated colours or dazzling tricks. Among the various schools of interior design, the American style of decorating is perhaps the most popular with its relaxed approach to living. As well as this, its array of natural colours not only helps with relaxation but also emphasizes quality and functionality.

The apartment shown is an example. This apartment is currently ocupied by a Chinese couple that live a modest yet steady life with their parents and children. The apartment’s design was created by Glamor Interior Design Studio. Since three generations are living together in this apartment, the design should not only be sustainable but also cater to aesthetic and practical needs. Therefore, the designer put together a theme that is simple, bright and comfortable.

The colour palette of the apartment uses several earthy colours including beige and coffee and is decorated with small accessories – white branches and small yellow vases. All the walls and furniture have had environmentally friendly and odorless paint

applied. Since there are plenty of windows in every room, the artificial lighting in the house only serves as a secondary light source. Instead of a main light in the bedroom there are numerous of small side lights, which is also better from a Fengshui point of view.

Living with family is noteasy. It takes a lot of effort to share a modest amount

of space and make everyone feel comfortable at the same time. Jieling Liu expands her

horizons with some inspirational interior design.

一家人住在一起不容易。如何在有限的公共空间里相处自如融洽，是一门需要深究的学问。Jieling

给大家举个例子，看从室内装潢的角度观察，让一家人自在舒适的家居环境是怎样的。

• If the major colour scheme of the apartment uses light or pastel shades, you should choose furniture and accessories that are in similar but lighter or darker colours to create a pleasant visual effect.

• Choose furniture based on its function rather than its appearance (height and length-adjustable tables for example).

• As well as paintings and crafts to decorate your apartment, try experimenting with small items, such as dry branches and leaves.

A.当整个空间内的硬装色彩为大面积淡雅素色，挑选家具及配饰可用同类重色及跳跃色增强空间层次感。

B.选择功能性家具对于日后生活更为实用（可调节高低的茶几，可改变长度的餐桌等）。

C.墙面除了配画与墙壁工艺品来装饰还可选取随手可得的干枯树枝等作为搭配。

主修公共艺术出身，曾任职专业剧院设计公司，却钟情室内设计。后创办宣言设计工作社。成立数载，涉足室内设计、配饰设计、建筑外观设计等领域。

Majoring in Public Art, Icy Jin has gained significant experience through her previous work with a professional theatre design company. Her passion for interior design motivated her to start the Glamor Interior Design Studio. Over the past few years, she and her studio has delivered a number of projects in several design disciplines including interior design, jewelry design and architecture design.

DeSIgner: Icy JIn设计师：瑾萱

真正好的家居设计作品，应该是为繁忙的现代人带来生活的温馨和渴望，而非过多浓墨重彩，让人眼花缭乱目不暇接。在家居风格中，美式风格赋予

家具新的生命，或自然朴实或浪漫优雅，有着不同的观感和体验。

以下所展示的公寓即为说明美式风格的装潢美学哲理。这是一对中国公务员夫妻的公寓，他们与父母和自己的孩子同住。两人性格平易近人，收入平稳，生活融洽。该公寓为青岛宣言室内设计社的作品。

由于是三代人住在一起，公寓的装潢需要满足三代人的美学与实用需求。这套公寓的设计讲求简单、温馨，舒适，突出既庄重又淡雅得体的家具。

色调：以米色和咖色等大地色系为主要色调

配饰：因为公寓的整体色调为大地色系，以白色的树枝、土黄色的小花瓶等做配饰

材料：全部采用环保无异味的装潢材料

光照：每个房间都有窗户。卧室用暖白色的小灯，不安主灯（从风水角度来看不好）

REnTing An ApARTMEnT in QingDAo

Being a newly arrived foreigner or newcomer to Qingdao is not easy, especially when you also have to find a place to rent and call home. But before you sign on the dotted line, Real Estate agent Kaka offers some helpful advice on renting.

刚来青岛的外国人很不容易，而必须找地方住的外国人则更加不易。房地产经纪人赵健给出了几个有用的建议，帮助你在你签订租房合同前了解一下需要注意的问题。

1. When renting an apartment, the post-rental service is more important than a good apartment, so make sure you

have a good agent or landlord, especially if your Chinese language is limited.

租房子的时候，好的租后服务比好房子更加重要。所以，最好能找一个靠谱的中介或是房东。这点对中文比较有限的外国人来说，尤为重要。

2. Find out as much information about the apartment and the complex you are thinking of living in as you

can. You may face extra costs that would be easier to deal with if you knew about them in advance. For example the property maintenance fee might be ridiculously high, or you have may have no heating during the winter because you didn’t pay the winter heating fee. (You must let the heating company know if you want heating before October 10, after which there is no changing your mind).

尽量多了解公寓的具体信息，考虑好住在里面会遇到的各种问题。如果提前知道这些信息，对租房需要的额外费用也会比较有心理准备。例如，有些房子的物业费高得吓人，而有些房子如果不交暖气费冬天就不会供暖。（你必须在10月10日之前通知暖气公司供暖，错过这个时间，暖气公司是不会供暖的。）

3. Decide on your payment method according to your situation up front. Don’t be surprised if the landlord

asks you for one years rent in advance. More and more Chinese and foreigners are flooding into Qingdao every day making the rental market increasingly competitive; in turn, landlords have more choice with their preferred payment method and tenants.

根据你当前的情况决定租金的交付方式。如果房东向你要求提前支付一年的房租，不要惊讶。最近几年，越来越多的人（中国人和外国人）涌入青岛，所以租房市场竞争很激烈。因此，房东对于租客和付房租的方式有更多的选择权。

4. Check to see if the facilities in the apartment are in working order. Generally, if something is broken

during your contract the landlord will place the blame on you. Talk to your landlord in detail before you sign a contract, make sure everything is working properly and ask if any broken objects can be fixed or replaced. Also, take photos as evidence just in case as complications can arise.

仔细检查房子里的物品是否损坏。如果在你租房期间物品损坏的话，房东会认为是你损坏的。在签订租房合同前，一定要与你的房东确认好物品完好，询问房东物品损坏的话是否会修理或者更换。还有一点，记得给物品照张相作为证据，以免出现解释不清的状况。

5. If something is broken during your contract that you cannot fix yourself, contact your landlord or

agent immediately and try and find an honest professional repairman who won’t overcharge you.

如果在租赁期间，屋内的物品损坏而你又无法自行修理，要及时和你的房东或者中介联系，找一个老实专业又不讹诈你的修理工修理。

6. Pay your bills on time. For example, if you haven’t paid your electricity bill, don’t be surprised if your

power gets cut off. If you followed the first

tip and have a good agent or landlord, this process will be a lot easier. Alternatively, if you are fortunate enough to have a trusted Ayi (cleaner) you could ask her to take care of the bills for you.

及时交水电费。如果你不及时付电费的话，家里断电时请不要惊讶。如果你做到了第一条，找到了一个靠谱的中介或房东，付电费会很容易。要是你经济条件比较好，有个可以相信的阿姨（打扫卫生的人），你可以叫她帮你付水电费。

7. Keep on good terms with your landlord. There are many benefits in keeping in touch but most

importantly it will help you get your security deposit back when your contract ends, as long as your apartment doesn’t look like a hotel room for a touring Punk Rock band.

和房东保持良好的关系。和房东保持联系非常重要，可以帮助你在合同结束时拿回定金。租房合同终止的时候，只要你的房子看起来不像朋克摇滚乐队住过的酒店房间，你应该就可以把定金要回来。

8. Make sure the landlord is the original Landlord. When you sign a contract, he or she should provide

you with the property ownership certificate, household register and ID card - not only because of safety issues, but you will also need those documents to register at the police station if you are a foreigner.

在签订租房合同的时候，一定要确保房东是房子的主人，能够向你提供房子的房产证和他/她的户口本和身份证——不仅是出于安全考虑，而是作为外国租客，你必须拿着这些文件去当地的派出所注册。

Beach Head夏日海滩

Qingdao is blessed with many options for ocean swimming. Mark Lewis gives you a run down on its more popular beaches.

岛城幸运地坐落在大海边上，这让本地人和游客都有了夏日消暑的好去处——沙滩。Mark给大家一一介绍最受欢迎的几处清凉海滩。

For those ocean swimmers who have been quietly biding their time through the long winter months…your time has finally arrived. With

the pervasive hot and sultry summer weather there’s never a better time to take that first plunge into the cool ocean waters that surround Qingdao.

对于那些喜爱在大海里游泳的人来说，冬天几个月可真够长的。这不，终于又到了可以下海畅游的日子啦！在潮湿闷热的夏天里，没什么比跑到海水中泡个凉澡更爽的了。

no.1 BathinG Beach第一海水浴场

No 1 Bathing Beach is the biggest and busiest of Qingdao’s inner city beaches and offers a range of diversions from paddleboats to food stalls selling an assortment of grilled seafood to activities for the kids. It’s also a great place to get fit as it boasts an outdoor beach gym (with change room and locker facilities) and dedicated sea-lanes for swimmers. Although it’s a big beach (maybe a kilometre long) it can get ridiculously busy and crowded during the summer months, especially during the Qingdao Beer Festival in August.

Best features: Has a great beach culture with a lively vibe; there’s always something to do.Worst features: It can get unbelievably busy and crowded during the summer months.

这是岛城最大也最繁忙的沙滩了，从水上单车到售卖饮料海鲜的小吃车，这里都能找得到，是个老少咸宜之地。这里还是个锻炼健身的好地方，因为这里有个庞大的户外健身地带（还附有更衣室和置物柜），宽敞的游泳区域就更不用说了。虽然第一海水浴场称得上是个大海滩（延绵一公里左右），但这里也会有极拥挤繁忙的时候，尤其是八月份青岛啤酒节举行之时。

优点：气氛活跃，引领沙滩潮流，总有一项你喜欢的活动。缺点：夏天的时候会很拥挤。

no.2 BathinG Beach第二海水浴场

No 2 Bathing Beach is the ‘little sister’ of Qingdao’s beaches and extremely popular with wedding couples and photographers. Bordering on the Badaguan scenic area; it’s one of my favourites places aside from Shirloaren Beach for an after work swim. Rather than having dedicated swimming lanes, the swimming area around the beach head is bordered by a long pier in the west, long wooden ‘sea piers’ in the north and the natural rock coastline on the eastern end.

Best features: Clean, picturesque, beautiful, and tranquil; it doesn’t get as busy as other beaches.Worst features: The water can get a little rough when the wind picks up and you might feel a bit intimidated with all the wedding photographers.

这一处沙滩就像是岛城所有沙滩的“小妹妹”，非常受摄影师及新婚伴侣们的钟爱。边临八大关风景区，二浴是除石老人海水浴场外我最喜欢的游泳地点。滩头附近的泳区虽然没有规则的泳道，但是在西侧有一个长长的栈道，北侧有木质“海桥”，东侧则是天然的礁石海岸线。

优点：干净、别致、美丽、宁静，不像其它海滩那般喧闹。缺点：起海风时海浪很大，而且你可能会因为大批的婚礼摄影师而稍感不适。

no.3 BathinG Beach第三海水浴场Conveniently close to the Qingdao’s CBD towards Taiping Cape, No 3 Bathing Beach is not a bad choice for an after work swim. A comparatively smaller beach at around 500 m long, you’ll see its swimming lanes stretching out into the sea marked by colourful buoys. Its facilities include change rooms with showering facilities and across the street from the beach are BBQ seafood restaurants at which you can satisfy your post swim munchies.

Best features: Close to the Centre of the Qingdao Business District.Worst features: Unfortunately, not the cleanest of beaches.

位于交通便利的青岛CBD区，且朝向太平角，第三海水浴场是工作之余游泳休憩的不错选择。虽然三浴相对来说比较小，只有大约500米长的沙滩，但是你依然能看到泳道在彩色浮标的标示下延伸至海中。周边设施便利，设有装备淋浴的更衣室，还有沙滩街对面的海鲜户外烧烤餐馆，畅游之后，你可以在那里犒赏犒赏自己的胃。

优点：临近青岛CBD区缺点：水质和沙滩环境较差

no.6 BathinG Beach第六海水浴场

No 6 Bathing Beach is located close to the Old Town and features the newly refurbished Zhanqiao Pier with new beach sand (perhaps). Extremely popular with locals and tourists alike, you can see people engaged in different beach activities; from children clambering over rocks with a red plastic bucket in hand collecting sea life to middle aged business men playing a round of beach volleyball.

Best features: It is easily accessible from the Old Town. Worst features: It’s a heavily rock-strewn beach, which doesn’t make it that great for wading or ocean swimming.

第六海水浴场临近老城区，可以一览重新装修的栈桥以及新沙（或许会有）。这里广受本地居民和游客的欢迎。形形色色的人在沙滩上嬉戏玩耍，你可以看到拎着红色塑料小桶的孩子们“翻岩越石”探寻海货，也可以看到中年人纵情沙排比赛。

优点：濒临老城区，交通便捷。缺点：周围岩礁遍地，不宜开展涉水运动。

Shilaoren Beach石老人沙滩Shilaoren or Old Stone Man Beach - gets its name from a natural rock feature rising from the sea. It is probably the (relatively) cleanest beach in Qingdao due to its small army of dedicated litter collectors. It’s currently my regular haunt for ocean swimming and you can even catch a couple of decent waves. When the wind gets up you see wind kite enthusiasts skimming over the waves on their boards. Speedboats and jet skis are available for rental as well as beach tents for the modestly inclined to change in. Be warned; its popular with tourists and even more popular with thieves.

Fortunately there are locker facilities available.

Best features: Relatively clean and beautiful beach.Worst features: Thieves are active in the area.

石老人海水浴场得名于海中一座自然天成的石像。相对来说，它可能是青岛最干净的海滩了，这主要得益于它数量庞大的、十分敬业的环卫工人。石老人海水浴场现在是我海泳的首选，在这里你还能欣赏到磅礴的海浪。每当海风骤起，冲浪爱好者们便会出现在层层巨浪之中，在冲浪板上乘风破浪。这里快艇、水上摩托都可供租用，另外还有沙滩帐篷以便更衣。警示：游客的最爱同时也是盗贼的最爱，请注意防盗。不过幸好还有可供使用的锁具。

优点：海滩相对美丽干净缺点：盗贼活跃

notaBle MentionS其它推荐JinShatan Jinshatan or Golden Sand Beach is a bit of a hike to get to as it’s located in the Huangdao District, but still worth a visit.

taiWan lu BeachA very small almost ‘boutique’

beach, less of a swim venue, it’s a great place to meet with friends for a picnic.

金沙滩因为是在黄岛区，所以路途稍

远，但是仍然值得一去。

台湾路沙滩很小的一个“精品”沙滩，虽

然不太适合游泳，但却是野餐的好去处。

W ith more than 20 rides on offer, the Golden Beach Amusement Park crammed into a space the size of a

soccer field, reminded me of an American carnival transplanted to China.

As I walked through the park, I passed by the Haunted House building with a 5-D horror movie show and a photo shoot inside Jaws' gaping mouth. I'm not sure what 5-D was exactly, but standing inside a shark's mouth would have been fun. Then I saw a pirates' boat with a Pirates of the Caribbean label depicting five alluring women with bandannas and daggers. I guess Jack Sparrow didn't make the cut.

Now the hard part - deciding which rides to try - with my budget of 60元, I didn't have too many options. Most rides were part of a package deal so rather than paying full price for one ride, you could try four or five different rides and only pay half price.

After some vacillation, I finally chose the "Screamin' Machine" over the rollercoaster.

I had ridden many rollercoaster before. So I walked over to the "Screamin' Machine," which was basically a 7m high metal machine that rotates you forwards and backwards. The backwards part was fairly tame, but going forwards was more unnerving. I felt like my chest restraint would unlatch at any opportune moment leading to my imminent death.

Then I went from the most thrilling ride to the most nauseating one I like to call the "Spinning Sunflower of Death." After the bar restraint snapped in place, the “Sunflower” began spinning. At first I enjoyed the rotating motion. But as the speed increased, I began to feel nauseous as the coloured seats spun in front of me. I felt unwelcome tremors in my stomach and suddenly imagined the dumplings I had for lunch exiting my mouth and splattering the seat in front of me.

My body was still spinning as I went on to the Laser Bumper cars. All I remember from that ride was bumping the other cars vigorously and aimlessly shooting the laser gun. Then we went to "Skyfall," a ride that pulls you up fast

and drops you down even quicker.

The last ride was "Mr. Octopus" with seats dangling from its bumpy, green tentacles. I was afraid this would be another deadly stomach spinner, but instead it was a pleasant, peaceful ride. Now I was ready to win some prizes.

Most of the games at the prize booth were typical carnival fare: tossing rings onto glass bottles, throwing darts at balloons and throwing hula-hoops around an inflatable crocodile. I chose the hula-hoops. I had six to throw, and if they all went around the croc, I would win a teddy bear bigger than my sister. Sadly I only threw five around the croc and had to choose a monkey with an "I Love You" patch pinned on his chest. Not bad for 10元.Later, I talked to a worker at the prize booth, and she told me “She loved how her job brought joy to others”. Another worker said he enjoyed seeing visitors display a gamut of emotions and meeting beautiful women. I think I had satisfied him with the former but had to disappoint him with the latter.

WE ArE nOt AmusEd 游乐园“惊”历

You may have heard that Golden Beach is one of the best beaches in Qingdao. But what you may not know about is its unique feature - an Amusement Park. Paul Finkbeiner relays his stomach churning adventures at the Golden Beach Amusement Park.

也许你听说过，金沙滩是青岛最美的沙滩之一。但是，你肯定不知道，金沙滩有游乐园这个特色项目，今天就让Paul给大家说说他在金沙滩游乐园心塞的经历吧！

广告 • 特辑 // FEATURES // FEATURES // 广告 • 特辑

myredstar.com 2928 myredstar.com

整个金沙滩游乐园有足球场那么大，一共有20个项目可以玩。我感觉好像是把一个美国的嘉年华移植到了中国。

一走进游乐园，就是鬼屋，里面放映着5D 恐怖电影，外面有个张着大嘴的鲨鱼站牌，供游人照相。我不知道5D是什么，不过站在鲨鱼的嘴里照张相也不错。然后，我看到一个写着加勒比海盗的海盗船，船上还画着五位诱惑的女人，头上戴着头巾，手里拿着匕首。杰克船长肯定是被她们比下去了。

现在是决定玩哪个项目的艰难时刻了——我的预算只有60块钱，没有多少项目可以选择。很多项目都包含在通票里，买通票的话，你就可以只花半价玩4至5个项目。

纠结了一会儿后，我最终决定玩一个叫“尖叫机器”的过山车。坐上后我才发现，它不

过是一个前后摇的金属机器。向后摇的时候一点都不可怕，但是向前摇则让人神经紧张，我觉得自己随时都可能因为紧张而猝死过去。

接下来我去玩了最紧张刺激的一个游戏项目，我把它叫做“死亡旋转太阳花”。游客准备就绪后，“太阳花”就开始旋转了。一开始还挺享受的，不过，随着旋转速度加快，彩色椅子仿佛在眼前转来转去，这让我觉得很恶心。我感觉自己的胃都在抽搐，就连中午吃的饺子都好像返到了嘴巴里，甚至是溅到了面前的椅子上。

坐上激光碰碰车的时候，身体还在旋转。我只记得我不停和其他车碰撞，乱打激光枪。之后我去玩“天幕坠落”，这个游戏用很快的速度将人抛到天上，然后用更快的速度将人扔下来。

最后一个游戏项目是“章鱼先生”，椅子

设在章鱼那满是疙瘩的触角上。我怕又要经历一场要命的胃痉挛，结果这一次竟然出乎意料地舒服。现在是时候去玩会儿轻松的游戏，赢点奖品了。

游戏摊儿上大部分都是经典的嘉年华游戏：玻璃瓶套圈、扔飞镖射气球以及往充气鳄鱼上扔呼啦圈。我选择了扔呼啦圈。一盘可以扔6个呼啦圈，如果它们都套住了鳄鱼，我就可以赢得一个大泰迪熊。可惜的是，最终我只扔中了5个，只能得到一个胸前带有“我爱你”字样的猴子。不过，10块钱也值了。

之后我和游戏摊的摊主聊了会儿天，她告诉我：“她喜欢这份工作，因为它能给人带来欢乐。”另一个摊主则告诉我，他喜欢看到游客们的喜怒哀乐，而且能看到很多美女。对于第一点，我觉得自己今天的表现应该挺让他满意的，不过，美女这一点我就无能为力了。

The backwards part was fairly tame, but

going forwards was more unnerving. I felt like my chest restraint would unlatch at any opportune moment leading to my imminent death.

向后摇的时候一点都不可怕，但是向前摇则让人神经紧张，我觉得自己随时都可能因为紧张而猝死过去。

Coroline Wang, a creative singer songwriter, has recorded her life’s dreams, love, feelings and travelling experiences in her music as each of

her songs depicts a short segment or story for her life.

Her voice can range from soft and sensitive to being husky; it will whisper around your ears to the accompaniment of her guitar. Even within her jazz arrangements, you can hear her happiness and sadness through her singing. Summer afternoons or silent nights, her songs are truly balm for the soul. Christina Cao

特立独行的90后唱作人王佳妮，用音乐记录着自己的生活、梦想、心情和旅途中的过往。她的作品很具感染性，像一个寂寞的少女，将叛逆不羁的青春娓娓道来。她的歌曲简单干净，用她特有的声音向听众诉说着一个个关于爱，关于感伤，关于梦想的故事。她的声线不高，时而慵懒，时而沙哑，配着吉他的旋律，有些小清新的温馨感。在现代爵士乐的编曲下，又有些说不出的缠绵和感伤。夏日的午后，安静的夜晚，听她的歌是再合适不过了。

Over 150,000 Chinese students are going overseas to attend university every year. AJ Warner

wants to make sure that some more of them are equipped to succeed.

In 2005, Warner began counseling Chinese students businesspeople as they applied to top US MBA programs abroad. Over the past nine years, as the demand for overseas university and graduates programs has grown, Warner’s company, Touchdown! has become a full-service test prep, counseling, and coaching operation for high school and college students seeking to make the most of their overseas education experience.

In 2013, Touchdown! helped nearly 300 students gain admission to and prepare for success at universities including MIT, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Fordham, Columbia, UCLA, London School of Economics and Political Science, Monash University, University of Toronto, HKUST, NUS, University of Sydney, HEC, and many more in the US, UK, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and the EU.

While a myriad of study abroad agencies aim at increasing their market share through a rabid sales force, Touchdown! has chosen instead to develop a team of professional counselors, who are trained to empower customers to make the most of their future. Previous clients refer nearly 80% of Touchdown!'s clients every year. It’s an approach that places certain constraints on the company’s growth, but one which that also ensures that they are able to deliver the highest quality on to match their claims.

It was discovered that boys between the ages of 10 and 14, before their voices changed, could often display

surprisingly pure yet powerful singing with clear and transparent tones, “Voices from Heaven”, it is one of the reasons why Boys Choral Singing is still amongst the most popular of world-class Children's choirs.

Jorgen Bremholm founded The Danish Boys' Choir (Det Danske Drengekor) in 1943. The singers in the choir range from 9 to 15 years in age and although there are no specific criteria for recruitment, they must train for a long time before they even allowed to set foot on the stage. And although the members of the choir have changed over the past 60 years, their sound is still fresh and touching. The choir has not only retained its classical musical repertoire, but has also incorporated some new elements in their shows with songs from other countries also being performed.

When they come to Qingdao, besides their Nordic folk ballads, they will also sing several Chinese classical songs including Jasmine, The Same Song, Good Luck and others to entertain local audiences. Christina Cao

音乐家们发现：10岁到14岁之间、变声期之前的男孩子，声音更加丰满纯净。他们的声音近似女声，却并不尖细，音色透明、音质清澈，被称为“天籁之音”。这也就是为什么在世界级的童声合唱里，男童合唱一直都是最受欢迎的。

丹麦皇家男童合唱团由指挥家Jorgen Bremholm创立于1943年。参与演出的团员一般在9到15岁。虽然入团时不需要试镜，也没有什么特殊的要求，但真正登台表演的孩子都是经过了严格地基础训练，才能在演出中一展歌喉。每年暑假，这些男孩都会飞往世界各地进行巡回演出。60多年来，合唱团孩子们在一茬一茬地换，声音却依旧清新动人。合唱团不仅保留了传唱已久的经典曲目，还会在演出的过程中加入一些新的元素。所唱曲目既有让人闻之心动的经典艺术歌曲，又有让听众耳目一新的各国歌谣。

这次来青演出，他们不仅会带来富有北欧特色的民歌民谣，还会演唱中国观众熟悉的《茉莉花》、《同一首歌》、《好运来》等一些经典歌曲。

法源寺的信念

rhythmic drumming disturbs the morning silence of Fayuan Temple. The temple cats have yet to emerge from the courtyard

gardens when a line of saffron-clad monks shuffle into the main hall for morning prayer. They are joined by a host of faithful followers, some wearing the traditional brown cloaks signifying lay adherents, all murmuring sutras in the early hours of the morning.

Fayuan Temple has been a centre of Buddhist worship since the Tang Dynasty. Because of this, it’s widely considered the “oldest” temple in Beijing, though nothing survives from the earliest eras. It was first burned

down by the marauding Mongolian army (who promptly rebuilt the temple once they settled down in Beijing) and has been destroyed several times since. The current structure largely dates from the Qing Dynasty.

While there might be more atmospheric temples within Beijing, Fayuan is by far the most active. The temple gardens are less than immaculate, though they have a “lived-in” feeling that is missing from many other temples in Beijing. On any given day, youthful acolyte monks and some less youthful believers mill about the temple grounds. Groups of worshippers wave incense sticks and bow before the statuary of the main hall.

During festival days the temple can become absolutely packed when the faithful of all ages crowd into the courtyards, reciting chants and prayers that resonate outside the temple gates.

Don’t miss the marble steles topped with exquisitely carved dragons in front of the main hall. Further beyond lies the Hall of Great Compassion, which holds a number of artifacts including some of the oldest Buddhist sculptures in China dating back to the Han Dynasty.

Fayuan also houses an elite Buddhist academy that trains some of the finest religious minds in China. Monks who graduated from here

usually gain respectable positions back with their home temples. The academy itself is a recent feature as it only dates from 1956 but has nevertheless become an important seat of Buddhist scholarship in China.

If you are lucky, or are particularly chatty with one of the monks, you might be invited to join a meal in their cafeteria. Do not pass up the opportunity to eat home-style temple food. It’s vegetarian, of course, but you might not notice this at first as the cooks are skilled at “faking” meat by seasoning and preparing tofu in such a way to mimic the taste and texture of meat. It’s also a rare chance to witness the quiet and disciplined way that monks take their meals. Even the placement of chopsticks and bowls reveals everything from a desire for a second helping to the end of their repast.

To visit the temple, take Beijing’s Line 4 to Caishikou Station. Walk south along Caishikou Street until you hit Nanheng West. Head west until you come across a small park on your right-hand side. This is apparently the site of the original temple. Just beyond is the front gate of Fayuan. Tickets are around 5元.

清晨，阵阵木鱼声打破了法源寺的宁静。寺里的猫还没睡醒，小和尚们就排着队慢慢地走进大殿，开始诵经念佛。和小和尚们一起

的，是一些诚心向佛的追随者。他们有的人还穿着棕色的袈裟，以显示他们的虔诚。

自唐朝以来，法源寺一直是佛教文化的中心。正因为如此，尽管寺庙屡次被毁，却仍然是京城“最古老”的寺庙。早年蒙古大军进犯北京，用一把火将法源寺烧成了灰烬（蒙古人攻下北京后，马上就着手重建法源寺）。从那时起，法源寺就屡遭重创。目前现存的寺庙主要是在清朝重建的。

尽管北京有很多更有氛围的寺庙，法源寺的香火却是最旺的。寺院的花园虽然不像其他寺庙那么幽静，却堪称完美。偶尔，庙里的小和尚和修行的人会在院子里漫步。很多前来烧香拜佛的人都会在大雄宝殿的雕塑前鞠躬，或是点上几柱香。要是碰上节假日，庙里人山人海，各种年龄的香客纷至沓来，从寺庙大门外就可以听到人们诵经念佛的声音。

来到法源寺，一定要去看看大雄宝殿前面的大理石碑，碑上刻着精致的龙纹。往前走一点就是大悲坛，这里陈列着历代的佛像、

石刻及佛教艺术珍品，其中包括中国最早的佛像——东汉时期的陶制佛坐像。

法源寺还设有中国佛学院，在这里诞生了一批佛学文化的学者。在这里修行的和尚，一般都能在家乡的寺庙里谋任到令人尊敬的司职。佛学院于1956年成立，尽管建校时间不长，却在中国佛学文化圈中有着举足轻重的地位。

如果你足够幸运，或者跟某个和尚聊得来，他可能会邀请你共进午餐。千万不要浪费了这个可以吃家常斋菜的机会。虽然斋菜都是素的，却很难在第一眼辨认出来。这些食材经过了特殊的加工处理，不仅看起来像肉，吃起来也像肉一样。和他们一起吃饭也可以见识到和尚是怎么安静并且训练有素地用膳的。就连放筷子和碗的动作，都像是对过去的一种救赎。

在北京，坐地铁4号线在菜市口站下，就可以到法源寺了。沿着菜市口街向南一直走到南横西街。然后向西走，穿过右手边的小公园，就是法源寺的旧址了，再往前就是法源寺的大门。门票5元。

Fresh Green on the Fingertips

每当提起中国，我脑海里浮现的第一个画面便是茶。众所周知，中国是茶文化的发祥地，也是当今世界最大的茶叶出产国。为了能

亲身体验茶叶生产的初期工艺，我迫不及待地整装待发，开启了我的“崂山问茶一日游”之旅。

我和同学们报了一个由天仁户外组织的旅行团，在观光巴士上欣赏了45分钟的美景之后抵达茶园。一丛小径绵延而上，层层梯田穿梭在漫漫山色之中，一会儿功夫我们便到了掩映在及膝高的茶树及樱桃树之中的一栋建筑前。稍作休息之后，我们每人领了一个塑料袋，开始学习如何采茶。

茶树枝繁叶茂，葱葱郁郁，但是我们只采摘顶部1-2英寸长的部分。采摘时需要茶芽、茶叶一起采下，方便之后拣选茶芽出产更加昂贵的茶。这的确是个技术活，我们顿感鸭梨山大。茶芽和茶叶一起被统称为萌芽。采摘技巧就是要从萌芽底部抄起，竖直向上摘下。这样能够避免因揉捏、弯折能不良动作造成的枝叶损坏，并能让萌芽和剩下的茶叶有效分离。

阳光和煦，微风徐徐，在葱郁山色之中，一遍遍重复着摘茶的动作也令人怡然自得，别有一番情趣。

茶叶摘下之后很快便开始蔫枯。市面上常见的不同品种的茶叶（包括白茶、绿茶、乌龙茶、红茶、黑茶），主要区别在于发酵程度或者

说蔫枯的时间上。发酵时间越长，茶叶颜色越深，口感也越加浓厚。绿茶属于非发酵茶，因此我们刚刚采摘的茶叶需要在一天之内烘焙、装袋。

你可以自带午餐，或者也可以偷个懒，交上50元，享受一顿园主提供的丰盛农家宴。我们中午就被“淹没”在了美味的包子以及正宗的各式菜肴之中，至今还回味无穷。这些菜很多都是素食，而且园主告诉我们，它们就出产自我们身后的那座山上！好吃！

酒足饭饱之后，我们开始向刚刚挥汗如雨、辛勤采茶的山腰进军。也就到山顶来回三分之二的路程，却足足花了我们大约2个小时的时间。不像中国的其它山路有阶梯可以攀爬，此次远足过程中全是泥泞的土路。亲，万万记住，一定备一双耐穿的鞋子还有长裤，不然当你要爬过一片低矮灌木丛或者需要翻越挡在面前的拦路石时，就只能阿弥陀佛了......

队伍返归之后，我们把每个人采摘的茶叶都搜集起来以供烘焙。这道程序由园主家的一个工人在一个偌大的加热盆中操作完成。加热之后，她把我们刚刚采摘的新鲜茶叶倒了进去，然后用手不断来回搅动。随着她的继续搅动，一缕蒸汽缓缓升起，像是叶子的水分被蒸发了出来，随后便是一股淡淡的气味氤氲在空气之中。中国味道盈千累万，但是烘焙新茶的味道一定是你万万不可错过的。

One of the first things that come to my mind when I think of China is TEA. After all, this is where the practice of boiling the leaves first

originated, and it is still the largest producer of tea in the world. Wanting to experience the beginning of the tea drinking process first hand, I jumped at the chance to go on a day trip picking tea around Laoshan.

My classmates and I joined a tour group arranged by Tianren Huwai (天仁戶外), and after a 45-minute ride on a tour bus we arrived at the tea garden. A short uphill walk amid views of terraced mountainsides brought us to a building surrounded by knee-high tea plants and cherry trees. We were then given plastic bags, and instructed on how to pick the tea leaves.

The tea plant is covered in leaves, but only the top 1-2 inches of the mature plant are picked. It was stressed we needed to pick a bud and leaf together, as separating these made for much more expensive tea. This bud and leaf are called a flush. And the best method of picking

is to grab a flush at its base, and pull straight up. This separates it cleanly from the rest of the plant, and avoids breaking the leaves as pinching or bending might do.

I found repeating the same motion over and over amongst the beautiful scenery, with the sun shining and breeze blowing, very relaxing.

Very soon after our tea was picked, it began to wilt. The different basic types of teas commonly produced (white, green, oolong, red, black) are different based on their level of fermentation, or how long this wilting is allowed to continue. The longer the time, the darker the color and the ‘stronger’ the tea. Green tea is an unfermented variety, so our picked leaves were set aside to be baked and packaged later that very same day.

You can bring your own lunch, or for an additional 50元 you can have the meal provided by the garden owners. For us, this included as much baozi as we could eat and several authentic Chinese dishes. Many of

these dishes were plant based, and came from the mountain behind us. Hào chī! 好吃!

After lunch, the group hiked up the mountainside that we had been working on. About two-thrids of the way to the top and back took around 2 hours. Unlike many of the mountain excursions in China, there are no stairs to be seen, just small dirt paths. Wear sturdy shoes and long pants, and beware the low foliage and occasional boulder to be climbed!

When the group returned, we pooled our picked tea leaves together in order to have them baked. This process was done by one of the garden’s workers in a large heated basin. After turning on the heat, she poured in our raw leaves and stirred them around with her hands. As she continued stirring steam could be seen rising as the leaves’ moisture was released, and a faint smell began to permeate the air. There are many smells to be had in China, but the smell of green tea leaves being baked has to be one of the best.

Kelsey Bagwill, a solid fan of Chinese tea culture, goes with her classmates to explore the the lively wilderness of Laoshan and pick some fascinating tea buds.

Coming Home Directed by Zhang Yimou张艺谋导演

REVIEW 《归来》

Z hang Yimou's Under the Hawthorn Tree (2010) used the Cultural Revolution as the backdrop for a rote and over determined teen

melodrama. Coming Home grapples with the same era in a more credible way, though "credible" might not be an entirely apt word. Persecuted intellectual Lu Yanshi (Chen Daoming) is released from prison after the Cultural Revolution and finds that wife Feng Wanyu (Gong Li) has a dramatically convenient form of amnesia: she remembers a husband, but doesn't recognize Lu.

The historical setting lends some resonance to the Lu-Feng story, but like Hawthorn Tree's tragic romance, it could take place anywhere, at any time, with only minor adjustments. More interesting is the relationship between Lu and his grown daughter Dandan (Zhang Huiwen), who ratted her father out to the authorities some years earlier. That Lu's most visible tormentor is his own daughter highlights the fanaticism of the period, but it also simplifies the messy business of the Cultural Revolution—a conflict within and between virtually all segments of society—by portraying reconciliation as the restoration of family bonds.

So credit to the filmmakers for their unexpected ending, which asserts that even this degree of reconciliation may be impossible—not for lack of will, but because too much was lost and too much is already forgotten. Coming Home thus proves far more successful than Hawthorn Tree at integrating tear-jerking melodrama with historical enquiry, and marks a modest return to form for a director who's long needed one. Josh Martin

2010年，张艺谋导演的《山楂树之恋》，以文化大革命为叙事背景，描绘了一个凄美的爱情故事，故事情节虽然有些老套，却风靡一时。这次的《归来》沿用之前的故事背景，更加“真实地”再现了那个时代。故事讲述了在文化大革命中受尽迫害的知识分子陆焉识（陈道明饰），在文革

结束后被释放回家，却发现自己的妻子已经认不出他。陆的妻子冯婉瑜（巩俐饰）在文革中受到了精神重创，患了失忆症，只记得自己有丈夫，却已经认不出眼前的他来。

陆冯两人的故事也从侧面反映了那个时代的人和事。然而，像《山楂树之恋》一样，这样的故事也可以在任何时间，任何地点，任何人身上发生。故事的细节也许有所不同，本质却是一样的。电影中更有看点的则是陆焉识和成年后的女儿的关系。几年前，正是丹丹（张慧雯饰）向有关部门举报了父亲陆焉识。对陆来说，女儿的举报无疑是这场政治迫害中最浓墨重彩的一笔。这样的情节设定也反映了文

化大革命这场闹剧的荒唐之处——家庭内部之间和社会大背景之间的矛盾冲突。影片正是通过描绘家庭的团聚，延伸至整个社会冲突的和解。

影片的结局出人意料，可见制作团队的用心。也许，张艺谋导演正是想通过这样的结局，向大众传达，有些事情终究是没有办法和解的。不是人们不愿和解，而是因为在这个过程中，人们失去了很多，也遗忘了很多。《归来》在影片的历史叙事和催泪手法方面比《山楂树之恋》更胜一筹，是张艺谋回归自身艺术形式的诚意之作。

红色银幕Josh Martin looks back at some classic Cultural Revolutionary themed films from Chinese Cinema.

Josh精选了以中国那个红色特殊年代为背景的经典电影，让我们和他一起来回顾这些佳作吧。

the critical and commercial success of Zhang Yimou's Coming Home (reviewed in this issue) shows that the Cultural Revolution still holds plenty of interest for local moviegoers. Despite political sensitivities and censorship issues, there's still an impressive number of films on the period, some of which—King of the

Children, Farewell My Concubine, The Blue Kite, To Live—remain well known abroad. But many others have either lost their international luster or never had much of one to begin with. A few of these are highlighted below:

张艺谋的新片《归来》（本期影评）口碑和票房双丰收，这说明了中国红色特殊年代时期的影片依旧是本土观影人乐于掏腰包的题材，虽然备受政治敏感度以及审查严格之累，本土电影中仍不乏反映该时期的经典之作，《孩子王》、《霸王别姬》、《蓝风筝》、《活着》这些影片甚至声名远扬，为世界所熟知。但也有很多佳作由于各种原因被湮没在世界电影浪潮之中，或者从来就未有机会走向世界。以下便是遭此命运的部分影片。

eVeninG rain (1980, directors Wu Yigong & Wu Yonggang)

The early '80s were the heyday of the Cultural Revolution film, with Evening Rain as a cross-generational entry in the cycle. Wu Yigong was a member of the "Fourth Generation," the first class of the Beijing Film Academy after its 1978 reopening. Wu Yonggang (no relation) was the septuagenarian director of classics like

The Goddess (1934). Their collaboration feels like a transitional work, adhering to Mao-era notions of broad social types and collective heroism: a teacher, a worker, a poor girl, and other "representative" figures meet on board a ferry and come to the aid of a wrongfully persecuted poet. Like many films of its time, Evening Rain take s a more optimistic approach than later efforts like Farewell My Concubine, reflecting the heady atmosphere of the early reform era.

《巴山夜雨》（摄制于1980年，导演吴贻弓、吴永刚）

上世纪80年代是红色特殊年代题材影片的全盛时期，《巴山夜雨》便是当时跨代导演合作的代表。吴贻弓属于中国“第四代导演”阵营，是北京电影学院1978年重新招生后的首批学生之一。吴永刚（和吴贻弓无亲属关系）已入古稀之年，曾执导经典电影《女神》（1934年）。“二吴”的合作更像是一种时代变迁之作，影片带有强烈的毛时代广泛社会特点和集体英雄主义色彩：一名人民教师、一个工人、一个穷姑娘以及其他具有代表意义的人物相识于一艘轮渡之上，谱写了一曲共同援救政治迫害者的赞歌。同其它同时期的电影一样，《巴山夜雨》相对于后起之作《霸王别姬》，用了一种更积极向上的手法来表现文化大革命早期的狂热氛围。

narroW Street (1981, director Yang Yanjin)

Yang’s debut Troubled Laughter (1979) was already an outstanding examination of the Cultural Revolution, but he topped it with Narrow Street. The unusual framing device has a blind writer pouring out his tale of woe for a film director: during the Cultural Revolution, he fell in love with a young woman from a bad class background, and suffered grievously for it. The writer and director then discuss an appropriate ending for the story, in a lengthy, self-reflexive sequence that implicitly questions the sunny outlook of films like Evening Rain.

《小街》（摄制于1981年，杨延晋导演）

杨导的处女作《苦恼人的笑》（1979）俨然是一部反映文化大革命的力作，然而《小街》有过之而无不及，实现了新的超越。影片的拍摄手法非比寻常。一个盲人作家，把自己的悲惨经历，向一个电影导演娓娓道来：文革期间，他和一个出身不好的女子相恋，从此备受煎熬。作者和导演最终敲定了影片的结局，用一种漫长的方式进行自我反思，隐晦地质疑了《巴山夜雨》中所体现的对于文革的积极态度。

Sacrificed youth(1985, director Zhang Nuanxin) Sacrificed Youth belongs to a sub-genre of Cultural Revolution dramas that might be called "sent-down films"—stories of urban youths dispatched to the countryside as part of their political education. A 17-year-old girl is sent to an ethnic minority village near Laos; though initially withdrawn and unhappy, she's gradually brought out of her shell by the locals' customs and kindliness. Zhang Nuanxin (perhaps the most prominent female voice of the Fourth Generation) lent this coming-of-age tale a more nuanced touch than the common, idealized portraits of rural minority life.

《青春祭》（摄制于1985年，张暖忻导演）

《青春祭》是一部文革题材的非主流影片，可能还会被归为“下乡电影”之列。它讲述了一个城市知青下乡接受政治教育的故事。一个17岁的女孩被分配到临近老挝的少数民族村寨，尽管一开始也经历了孤独与悲伤，但她最终被当地淳朴友善的民风所感染，融入到了新环境之中。张暖忻（中国第四代导演中最重要的女性导演）游刃有余的故事处理方式，让《青春祭》在其它影片中脱颖而出，更加微妙细致地展现了一幅理想的乡村少数民族生活的画面。

in the heat of the Sun (1994, director Jiang Wen)

In the Heat of the Sun was a box-office hit in China, where it retains a devoted following and frequently appears on critics' lists of the greatest Chinese films. But it's less famous abroad than it should be, perhaps because it eschewed the dark stories of persecution found in most world-renowned Cultural Revolution films. Instead, actor-turned-director Jiang Wen (the male lead in Hibiscus Town) delivered an expressionistic piece about teen ruffians running free in mid-'70s Beijing—fighting, smoking, burgling, and chasing girls, particularly the pretty state-farm worker who disrupts the group's equilibrium. Perceived by some as a whitewash, Jiang's directorial debut is in fact a slippery, ambiguous work about gaps in history and memory.

《阳光灿烂的日子》（摄制于1994年，姜文导演）

这部片当时在中国创造了票房奇迹，拥有一大批忠实粉丝，而且直到现在，它仍会出现在影评人“中国最佳影片”推荐之列。但是这部片并没有“墙内开花墙外香”，主要是因为并未沿用所有文革影片讲述政治迫害的套路。演而忧则导（姜文主演过《芙蓉镇》），导演姜文另辟蹊径，讲述了北京70年代中期的一群小混混的放荡生活——打架、吸烟、偷窃、泡妞。然而，一个美若天仙的国营农场女工闯入了他们的生活，从此完全改变了他们的生活轨迹。有人认为姜文极力粉饰，但是作为其导演处女作，这的确是一部野心勃勃、寓意深长的作品，迂回地展现了历史和记忆的鸿沟。

the road (2006, director Zhang Jiarui)

The nostalgic mood of In the Heat of the Sun also permeates The Road, an admittedly less idiosyncratic film about teen girl who works as a bus conductor in rural Yunnan. The girl's crush on a doctor "sent down" for re-education ends badly, and she marries the bus driver instead. The Cultural Revolution forms only a small part of the film's 40-year narrative, which closes on a critical view of modern consumerist China. The Cultural Revolution itself, by contrast, appears as the end of an age of idealism—an attempt to situate the era not only within the context of China's past, but a present that was probably unimaginable even to directors in the '80s.

《芳香之旅》（摄制于2006年，章家瑞导演）

《阳光灿烂的日子》里的怀旧情绪同样绵延到了《芳香之旅》中。作为一部更朴实素淡、白描直叙的影片，《芳香之旅》讲述了一个在云南乡下公交车售票员的故事。片中女孩爱上了一个下乡改造的医生，但是无果而终，最后嫁给了公交司机。由于整个影片贯穿40年，文革只是期间很小的片段，因此招致了中国现代消费者的批判。相比之下，文革本身就标志着理想主义时代的终结，不仅在当时的中国背景之下具有划时代的意义，即使到现在，对于一些80后导演来讲仍然难以想象。

含义：目光短浅，没有远见BBQ Survival Guide 烧烤摊生存指南 the Mouse became one of the twelve Zodiac animals because

of his smart tricks. The Emperor of Heaven once announced that one of the preconditions of being a Zodiac animal candidate was: arrive early. The Mouse didn't receive an

invitation, but he wanted very much to be the Zodiac animal. So he lied to the Cat: “Hey brother Cat, I’m going to the Heaven and register for you, you can just stay here and rest for a while.” The Cat was hardworking and kind; he believed the Mouse and went to rest. The Mouse then said to the Cow: “You will feel bored and lonely going to Heaven by yourself, why not let me sit on your back and accompany you?” The Cow thought he was probably right, so he let the Mouse sit on his back.

The next day, the Cow and the Mouse got up very early. They talked and laughed on the way. Then, right before they stepped through the gate of Heaven, the Mouse jumped off the Cow’s back and he became the first animal to arrive in Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven had no way to retract what he had before about arriving early so the Mouse became one of the twelve Zodiac animals.

Since the mouse betrayed the Cat using such lousy tricks, the Cat never forgave him, even now cats will still chase mice like hell.

鼠能当上生肖，靠的是它的小聪明，玉帝选生肖时说：谁能先到达天宫，谁就能当上生肖。当时鼠没有接到邀请函，于是骗猫说：“猫大哥，我给你去报名，你先休息一会儿。”猫每天都很辛苦，于是睡起觉来。鼠又跟牛说：“牛大哥途中一个人无聊，我坐在背上给你唱歌吧。”牛也觉得会孤单，所以同意了鼠的提议。

第二天，牛和鼠很早就起来了，一路上有说有笑，快到天宫时，鼠从牛背上一跃而下，第一个跑到玉帝面前说道：“我是来报名当生肖的。”玉帝并没有邀请鼠来当生肖，可是君无戏言，当时说了只要能到天宫就能当生肖，由于鼠第一个到达，理所当然地当上了生肖。

因为鼠背叛了猫，所以到现在猫还是见了老鼠就抓。

the China Intellectual Property Rights Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (IPR SME)

Helpdesk released an innovative game earlier in May, providing European SMEs with a virtual experience of doing business in China without having to leave their office.

Developed in partnership with leading technology provider,

Serious Games International, the game builds on the core competencies of protecting intellectual property rights (IPR) for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China. The game focuses on using decision branching so that each and every action has a realistic reaction or repercussion. Using these key game mechanics means users such as SME CEOs, HR and senior managers will learn from their

actions in a safe and fun environment.

The game allows users an initial budget of €300k, which is used to create products, attract clients, establish partnerships with Chinese companies to manufacture and distribute products, protect their businesses by registering IP, and much more. Users can increase their revenue through raising the star ratings of their products, optimising their partnerships, battling infringements and making product improvements through research and development (R&D). Players are prepared for potential business challenges in China such as having their product copied or their trade secrets given away. In the game, as in real-life, by taking informed decisions they can reduce the risk of IP infringements occurring.

The China IPR SME Helpdesk supports European Union (EU) SMEs to both protect and enforce their IPR in or relating to China, through the provision of free information and services. This includes free confidential advice, training, materials and online resources. The Helpdesk employs innovative solutions for disseminating information and communicating the key message ‘know before you go’. The China IPR SME Helpdesk is co-funded by the European Commission and has been in operation since 2008.

naoMi SaunderS, ProJect ManaGer, china iPr SMe helPdeSK Said: “An increasing number of SMEs are considering internationalising their business to China but lack information and experience in the market. The serious game provides a platform for SMEs to gain useful knowledge in a low-risk and stimulating environment. Working with Serious Games International has allowed us to create a game that incorporates proven pedagogical methodology, valuable content with an attractive user experience. We are delighted with the game and challenge SMEs to download it from our website.”

欧盟中小企业中国知识产权服务处经理那红表示：

“ 越来越多的中小企业在考虑将业务发展到中国，但缺乏在中国市场的信息和经验。这款游戏为中小企业提供了一个平台，让他们在低风险并富有刺激的环境中，获得有用知识。这款游戏同Serious Games International公司合作，结合验证过的教育方法，内容丰富有价值，用户体验非常棒。我们对这款游戏很满意，诚心推荐中小企业在我们的网站下载体验。”

Check for spelling/grammar mistakes and think if you received the e-mail how would you feel. If you wouldn’t read it because it’s too long then delete some of the content.

4. KEEP YOUR E-MAILS UNDER 10 LINES

My former German boss suggested this tip and I think it’s very simple and effective.

5. YOU DON’T HAvE TO SEND YOUR E-MAIL WHEN YOU

FINISH WRITING IT If it’s an important e-mail think where the recipient will be when you click send. If they are in a meeting and have to check 20 e-mails when they come out of that meeting maybe they won’t even read your message. Therefore why not send the e-mail very early in the morning or late afternoon.

6. INCLUDE YOUR FULL SIGNATURE AT THE END OF

YOUR E-MAILSIt’s very important even on internal e-mails to colleagues in other offices to include your

full contact details when you first contact someone in case they would like to call you urgently. If they can’t find your telephone number on your signature you may lose a sale or create a bad impression.

7. DON’T WRITE E-MAILS WHEN YOU’RE ANGRY!

If someone criticizes you or upsets you don’t reply to their e-mail immediately. Simply wait for a few hours or even better until the next day and this will probably prevent you from writing things you later regret.

8. SEND E-MAIL UPDATESIf you can’t reply to an e-mail within 3-5

days send a quick update for example to say you are waiting for some information and will get back to the person soon. If you just don’t reply to an e-mail for 2-3 weeks it will make you seem unprofessional.

1. hAVE A ClEAr ‘CAll tO ACtIOn’ Tell the person you are writing to what you

want them to do. For example if you would like to arrange a meeting give two or three possible dates when you are free. Make life easy for your recipient and they will be more likely to reply.

2. dEtAIls ArE VEry ImPOrtAnt Sometimes due to cultural habits Chinese

people are a little vague when communicating and use words such as“ maybe, “ “ cha bu duo. ” etc. When communicating with foreigners both face-to-face and via e-mail I advise you to be more direct and include all the little details and specifics to ensure your recipient doesn’t need to send you several extra e-mails to get the answers to their questions.

3. rEmEmbEr tO sAy thAnK yOu If a western colleague or client helps you out

with something be sure to say thank you. Chinese people don’t usually say thank you all the time to their family members like most westerners do and therefore they can occasionally forget to use thank you with their western clients/colleagues. If you remember to do it this will help you to build a good relationship.

1. mAny ChInEsE dOn’t usE E-mAIl! Even in foreign-owned companies some

Chinese employees are not that keen on reading and writing e-mails and much prefer to pick-up the phone. Therefore if you don’t get an answer via e-mail try calling.

2. sImPlE lAnGuAGE It’s best to keep language very basic and

not use too many technical words or acronyms such as ASAP for example. This should help avoid any misunderstandings.

3. shOrt E-mAIls As written above some Chinese staff

don’t like using e-mail so it’s best to keep your messages as short as possible. This will increase the chance that your e-mail gets read and you receive a reply.

In conclusion, try to keep your e-mails short and clear but also think about the way the person you are contacting likes to communicate. For example my wife never checks her e-mails but uses Wechat every day!

You may get a quicker reply from your Chinese clients/colleagues if you send them a message on Wechat or QQ or give them a call as opposed to e-mail. Whereas Chinese people could of course pick up the phone but can also try contacting foreigners on Linkedin, Facebook(via a VPN) or Skype.

下文不仅罗列了8条写有效邮件的建议，也分别列举了向中国和外国同事或客户写邮件时的可行性建议。

1. 标题——你的标题需要总结邮件内容。一定保证其简短有效，既简洁又给人

深刻印象。

2. 将最重要的信息要放到顶部——邮件的主要内容或最后期限等重要信息要

放在邮件的开始部分。否则收件者可能根本读不到这些信息。

3. 邮件发出前反复检查——仔细检查拼写或语法错误。设想一下，如果收到

邮件的人是你，你会觉得这封邮件怎样。如果你觉得邮件太长没有耐心读完，那最好删掉一部分内容。

4.保持在10行以内——这是我的前德国老板提出的建议，我认为这更简

洁有效。

5. 没必要刚写完就发送——如果这是一封很重要的邮件，点击发送之前请想

一下收邮件的人现在可能在哪。如果现在他们正在开会，而会议结束之后他们需要查看20封左右的邮件，或许他们根本读不到你的邮件。所以，最好是在清晨或者下午晚些时候点击发送。

6. 邮件最后一定加上你的完整签名——即便是发送给同事的内部邮件，签名

中写好你的完整联系方式也是很重要的，以防初次接触的人有急事需要给你打电话。如果想与你联系的人没能及时找到你的联系方式，你有可能会因此损失一笔生意或者给人留下坏印象。

7. 生气时不要写邮件——如果有人批评你或令你不快了，不要立即回复邮件。

先等上几个小时，或者第二天再说。这样可以防止你写一些以后令自己后悔的内容。

8. 及时回复，发送最新进展——如果你没法在3-5天内对一封邮件给予答

复，那么最好回复邮件说明一下事情进展，说你也在等更多信息，会尽快给予答复。如果两三周了还没答复，会显得你很不专业。

给中国朋友的建议——如何给外国同事或客户写更好的邮件

1. 发出明确的“行动信号”——明确告知收件人，你想要他们做什么。例如，如

果你想在两到三个你可能有空的日期与对方安排会面，那么直接告知可以让他们觉得更方便，也更有可能会给你答复。

2. 细节很重要！——有时由于文化习惯不一，中国人常会在交流中使用像“

可能”“差不多”这样的模糊用语。建议无论是与外国人面对面沟通还是发邮件，你可以说话更直接，把你想说的细节信息全部包含进去，以确保收件人不需要再回复几封邮件来确认。

3. 记得说谢谢——如果你的外国同事或客户帮你忙了，一定记得说谢谢。中

国人不会总是对自己家人说谢谢，而西方人恰恰相反。因此，偶尔与西方同事或客户交流时会忘记说谢谢。而如果随时记得说谢谢，对你与他人建立良好关系大有帮助。

给外国朋友的建议——如何给中国同事或客户写更好邮件

1. 必要时打电话——很多中国人都不习惯用电子邮件，即便是在外企，中国员工

们也并不热衷于用电子邮件，他们更喜欢直接打电话。因此，如果你发的邮件没有收到答复，那么试试打电话吧。

2. 语言保持简单——在邮件中最好使用基本的词汇和句子，避免太专业化或

是太多像ASAP这样的缩写。这样有助于避免误解的发生。

3. 简短的电子邮件——正如前文所写，多数中国员工不太喜欢使用电子邮

件，所以你的邮件越短越好。这样也使你的邮件有更大的机会被阅读，你也更有可能收到回复。

总之，尽量保持你的电子邮件简明扼要，但是别忘了考虑你联系人喜欢的联络方式。比如我的太太，她从来不查看邮件，但是每天都会用微信！

相对于发邮件，在微信、QQ上发信息或者打电话，你可能会从你的中国同事或客户那里得到更快的回复。当然，中国人也可以通过打电话、领英、脸书（通过VPN）或者是skype来联系你的外国朋友。
