清朝詞人

納蘭性德,原名成德,後避太子保成諱改名為性德,字容若,號楞伽山人。他是滿洲正黃旗人,清朝政治人物、詞人、學者。納蘭性德的父親是大學士納蘭明珠,他的母親是阿濟格之女。

納蘭性德的詩詞才情被康熙帝所賞識,並因他是八旗子弟,上代又與皇室沾親,與康熙長子胤禔生母惠妃也有親戚關係,所以被康熙留在身邊。他的詩詞才情被後世所稱道,並有許多感人至深的作品流傳下來。

Yoasobi/Idol (English Version)

Couldn't beat her smile, it stirred up all the media

Secret side, I wanna know it, so mysterious

Even that elusive side, part of her controlled area

Complete and perfect, all you say is a bunch of lies

Dear miss genius idol, unmatched

[elusive: hard to comprehend or define]


What did you eat today?

What book do you love?

Whenever you go out for fun, tell me, where do you go?

Haven’t eaten anything

It's a secret, unknown

Any questions you're facing, always acting so vaguely


So unconcerned, although you brightly glow

Any seemingly unveiled secrets are as sweet as honey

Confusing, why, why, why?

Essential lie, lie, lie

So, what is your type of guy? Any partner?

So, now, answer this

[unveiled: open]


"I don't have any idea how I could love anyone”

“I don't seem to know what it signifies"

Cannot find out if it's true or it's a lie

Once again, there's somebody who's fallen for the words and cues

Made him lose his head over you


That emotion melts all hearts, all eyes on you

Cause you are perfect, the most ultimate idol

Unrivaled, will not appear again

It's the brightest star reborn, yes, indeed

Using that smiling face

That "I love you" again

[Unrivaled: incomparable]


Now, everybody is lured and captivated by you

The pupil that you got

The words you vocalize

Even when untrue, it’s your perfected Ai

[lure: attract strongly]

[captivate: fascinate]


Right, right, we all know she's very special, yes

We had lost the fight before it started, so impressed

Miss I'm such a star

We're serving as support to her grace

Cannot tell me everything was because of her

No, it's not right

Out of line

How can we not feel jealous while being around

It's not a joke, you know, right?

So, I cannot forgive you for that

Completely deny

Imperfect you that I sight

Myself, no pardon allowed

I won't allow anyone if it's not you, strongest of all


That emotion seized all hearts worshiping you

Yes, indeed

So strong, it's you, unrivaled idol

There cannot be weaknesses to find

The brightest star is residing in you

The gaps and shortcomings, don't show’em

Dammit, dammit

Parts nobody wants to know should remain hidden

One and only

If it's different, no way, no way

Such a true love, it's the realest Ai


Showing this smile, my own weapon

Boiling media

Keeping everything about my secret deep inside

"I'm in love with you," my career is built on such a lie

It's the way I know to show my love, without a doubt

Running down, my sweat is flowing

Cleanest aqua, right?

Ruby hidden under my eyelids where it resides

I sing and dance around


Look at me, I'm Maria

So, lying surely is the greatest kind of love


I recall no one that loved me whole before

And I've not been in love with anybody before

Now, the lies I'm making up

I'm hoping that a day comes when they all become true

And I keep wishing they do


One day, I will hold everything that I pursue

Yes, I am so greedy, true voracious idol

So, sincerely, what I'm wishing for is to love each of you with all my heart

And so, today, I lie again

The words I vocalize inside of me

I'm wishing that one day they come true

Up to this day, I've not been able to let you

And you hear me saying those meaningful words

I said it at last

I know it's not a lie as I'm voicing these words I love you

[pursue: chase]

[voracious: greedy]

威嚴

《孫子兵法》殘簡釋文

「威行於眾,嚴行於吏,三軍信其將畏(威)者,乘其適(敵)。」

大意︰「將帥要在部眾面前樹立威信,對屬吏要嚴格執行紀律,全軍卒吏都信服將帥的威嚴,這樣就能戰勝敵人。」

話說放年假前兩天,我收到一所中學的訂書簽收文件。我在早會完結前提出工作交接,希望另一位同事幫忙處理這項訂書工作。我一提出這項要求,就被直屬上級罵到狗血淋頭。如果我只有這項工作,當然可以在長假前完成,問題是我有多項工作需要同時跟進。上級罵完我後,他/她親自替我在本店找該訂書單的現貨。他/她又幫我看守收銀處,讓我做其他工作。不久,電腦 share drive 死了又復生,我在收銀處再處理訂書單的本地訂購、台訂及分店轉書。其實,又不是行軍打仗,為什麼要立軍威?更惡的上級我都遇過,我仍舊選擇沉默是金,費事激到人爆血管。做這間公司有個好處,如果不是犯下大錯,不會被解雇。不過直屬上司近來都不重用我,想有什麼職位上的升遷,都係諗多左。

專注的訓練

    在書店工作之前,我曾經到旺角學習普通話。當時,我選擇沒有考試壓力的興趣班。最近一年,我又以那時的教材重新自修。要根據圖畫用舌頭怎樣怎樣發音,完全辦不到。剛過去的一兩個月,我在分店以員工價買下《南人北語》初中高,每個例休日子都堅持學習。初級教材的難度已經達到興趣班的高級課程。每次到了拼音知識及練習部分,我完全 catch up 不到,總有點氣餒。我這個年紀,語言學習能力一定比幼稚園學生遜色,只能將勤補拙。忘記了拼音可以再學,如同英文文法,如同中文語法。學習當中,我亦有所得著︰專注力的訓練。約一個小時的聆聽、試讀過程中,專心一志,心思集中。我們平日工作,雜念太多是個大忌。但是,專注以外還要留意周遭發生的事情,說起來不容易,先決條件是需要有優質充足的睡眠。
