【在廚房裡環遊世界】試作列車 20140809-15 W02 星期天的烤羊肉
傑米奧利佛省錢上菜英文版 P.194
Sunday Roast是傳統英國菜,以前星期天上教堂前,英國媽媽會先將一大塊肉(通常是牛或羊或豬或雞)拿去烤,從教堂回來剛好可以吃飯。如果當天吃烤牛肉,會在爐火下放約克夏布丁一起烤,順便吸收上面滴下的肉汁,所以以前英國人說吃到最多約克夏布丁的人吃到大部份肉。
到英國後總共吃過三次。第一次在英國朋友家吃,所有切肉用具齊全,還很熱心介紹吃牛肉就搭約克夏布丁、羊肉搭薄荷醬或蔓越莓醬、豬肉配蘋果醬的習慣。
第二次和室友們在家做,唸食品管理的室友露了一手從Yorkshire郡出身的教授那學來的的正宗yorkshire pudding,很大一個。今天的帶骨羊肉我猜這是最後一次了吧,配新鮮薄荷葉吃非常解膩,再加一點蔓越莓,是讓人發自內心微笑的好味道。
要離開英國很多東西捨不得,說不定有回憶的食物是最難忘的部分。
另,獲bonus,dripping一小杯

八月八號

我小學很愛看的數碼寶貝最近要演續集了,從十七歲的八神太一開始。
小時候覺得阿和很帥。其實現在還是覺得他很可愛(大笑)。

大概是...五年級或六年級時吧,被老師派去參加英文朗讀比賽,朗讀文章先發三篇下來,每篇念熟當場抽,比賽前某天,我很想看期待了一星期的數碼寶貝但爸爸逼我練習那三篇英文文章,我還記得那是打敗機械邪龍獸那集欸!整個動畫都快結束了,爸平常明明不管我一切功課為什麼那天要突然逼我練習啦!還有,在客廳看電視的弟弟為什麼不把聲音開大一點,我聽到聲音也好吼,反正不甘不願練習了很久,有哭這樣。

結果,那次比賽有得名。

其實現在想起來得不得名、看不看電視都無所謂,只是覺得生活就是這些小事組成,很可愛。不知道爸還記不記得這些。



八月九號

Save with Jamie Oliver (1)


主要是參加松露姊姊的活動「在廚房環遊世界」喔!
之前買了傑米的書,要是沒好好利用就太可惜了,希望可以順利達成一年上52道菜的目標。我超愛鮭魚北歐玩回來後更愛哈哈哈~傑米總共有四道料理來處理剩下的鮭魚,今天做salmon & scrambled eggs, simple salmon sarnie, and salmon-topped jacket spuds

=====

I joined a year-long cooking activity held by Truffle Rose. The rule is every participant should select a recipe from the book list in Truffle Rose' blog and practice that cuisine once a week for a year. This is very interesting, especially when I started to read Jamie's book, I found something I've never tried and thought before. Something new, something different. And this activity is absolutely a good motivation for me to try the British and Italian flavor.

I got three yesterday: salmon & scrambled eggs, simple salmon sarnie, and salmon-topped jacket spuds.

半年

哥本哈根
照片是勇奪理智排名第一好玩的城市哥本哈根(當然情感上直接判芬蘭贏)。

默默地半年過去了。
其實部落格早就偏離原本主旨:為了交教授說的口譯字彙檔和學習日記這兩項,放假後我愛寫什麼就寫什麼,但其實也很有趣,在臉書上長篇大論覺得有點囉唆,這裡是自己和自己對話的好地方。

半年來走過歐洲好多地方,永遠不會忘記一路上幫我的好心人、還有帶我到處逛的朋友、和我分享旅行經驗的朋友很多很多...。

腳步踏過西北歐大街小巷,思緒則沿時光縱走。看著各博物館展現過去歷史痕跡時,我也不會忘記諾貝爾博物館裡那句「你認為未來諾貝爾獎各領域會著重在哪裡?」我喜歡這種想法,思考現在,面對未來。

Translation of If You Love Me Like You Never did Before


the morning light brought back
the dreams of broken yesterdays.
these memories of golden years,
i still can see your face.
flyin’ high i headed for the brightly burnin’ flame.
but blinding love is not a loser’s game.
晨光領我夢見過去曾經的相互眷戀
那是記憶中的黃金歲月
我依舊能看見你的面龐
彷彿在火焰般明亮的愛情中飛翔
但是盲目愛情是輸家玩不起的遊戲
we lived a life of vagabonds,
free children of the world.
i was high on love,
you said you’d always be my girl.
but time went by,
one day you turned and simply walked away.
i didn’t have the time to stop and say…
我們過著像流浪者的生活
猶如無拘無束的孩子
我的心情在愛中輕舞飛揚
因為妳說妳永遠不會離開我
但是時光流逝
妳就這麼轉身離開的那一日
我來不及讓妳停下告訴妳
if you love me like you never did before,
i’d climb the highest mountain, i would open up the door
to secrets of my soul i’ve never told to anyone.
brighter than the stars, brighter than the sun.
如果妳曾經如此愛我
我就能爬上最高的山巔,我能開啟另一道門
這是我靈魂最深處別人未曾知曉的秘密
比星光燦爛,比陽光耀眼
sailing through the years
i always kept you on my mind.
one morning found a message from you,
felt this was a sign.
with trembling hands
i opened up a letter sealed in red.
this is what the faded handnote said:
darling if you love me like you never did before….
經過這些年
妳不曾離開我內心
有個早晨,收到妳的訊息
而我感覺到有什麼即將改變
我顫抖雙手,打開紅色封蠟
褪色的手寫訊息寫著
親愛的,如果你曾經如此愛我....

Bands--Yö, Týr, and Jenni Vartiainen

Let's, well, firstly skip Turisas because I will be crazy whenever I come to them.
But still, a good beginning would be Wanaja Festival. I went there mainly for Turisas but then I knew many great musicians during the whole festival.

(1) Jenni Vartiainen is a very different one. Although not as famous as Tarja Turunen the ex-vocal from Nightwish, her beautiful voice comforts me and featured dance (mainly on videos) is impressed. When I was in Wanaja Festival and listening and watching her show, the wind blew the tree beside the stage, and immediately lots of leaves falling flying in the air. It was an amazing picture, just like those leaves were dancing and that completed the whole show. Definitely a magical atmosphere.


(2) Yö--I knew this band when I was checking the band list of Wanaja Festival. It is followed by Turisas. It is not difficult to find some of their songs on Youtube, but not until the festival did I realise how charming they are. Also, I reckon those Finns shared the same idea as me since they started to find the best position much earlier than the beginning of the show. It was absolutely great, and after I came back to the UK I fell in love with their 'Rakkaus on Lumivalkoinen', also the English version Love me like you never did before sang by Jukka Lewis. So here it is, enjoy.




(3) Týr--this band did not have a gig in Wanaja Festival. But it is still famous when people search 'viking metal' or 'Finnish metal' on the internet. They are not from Finland actually, but Færøerne in Danish. Sometimes they write songs in English, sometimes might be Danish or Faroese. I have no knowledge of the both. However, it is still very nice to enjoy their high quality music. I do not really have any favorite song of Týr, but they are averagely good.

親愛的Turisas海門林納Wanaja Fest 2014的表演

常覺得我再會一種歐洲語言很多事就easy很多。

-反正現在後悔也來不及了呵呵呵,我怎麼不好好學德文呢-

在歐洲語系影響很大,以前都不知道,上學期跟筆譯所的西班牙人聊天,我問說西文文法難冠詞多那學英文會不會比較簡單,她說沒有沒有這不能比,因為完全是不同語系。


然後,在哥本哈根hostel遇到義大利人,兩人都說他們英文講不太好但都會法文。再加上之前看電視訪問在瑞典工作的德國人,人人回答歐我會德文~所以瑞典語對我而言不太難~


粗略分類的話西北中歐(不含芬蘭法國盧森堡和一部份比利時)是日耳曼語系,南歐羅曼語系,東歐不太清楚。大概猜一下好了,德國人北歐人除了有錢教育弄很好這原因,語系相通所以學英文比較不困難,不過反過來說英文母語要學這些語言倒不太容易因為英文文法和冠詞太過簡化,而且後來受到法文影響也多,我自己覺得聽德國人北歐人說英文比在英國更容易聽到所謂British English畢竟英國當地受方言影響口音眾多(跟蘇格蘭人講英文看看好了),而且因為非母語所以也不會用什麼難字(這是我該說的話嗎呸)


最後要誇獎一下芬烏語系的芬蘭,赫爾辛基先不說,在人口49,000的海門林納小鎮完全沒有人不會英文,都醉成那樣了還用英文跟我扯一堆哲學和東方生肖的62歲伯伯太讓我印象深刻了。
