《Chief Seattle says: “屋里,屋里;客来,客来!”》

The Seattle area has a lot of American Indian culture and heritage. From the names of cities and towns to names of rivers and hills, from totem poles of eagles, fish and bears to unique flowers and fruits, this western end of the US continent has a lot of things that are reminiscent of the Indians who inhabited this area 150 years ago. The city of Seattle for example, is named after a respected Indian tribal leader Chief Seattle. If I live here long enough, I may have to learn some native American language to get around. At this point, the only thing I have learned is “哇啦,哇啦” 叫!I don't know what it means yet, but I would like to think it means 屋里.

西雅图地区是美国印第安人最后的家园。这里的印第安人主要以渔猎为生。据说白人初到此地,这里的印第安人比内陆其它地方的友好多了,所以杀戮较少。据说西雅图酋长是个爱惜一草一木,不主张争战的人。

The Walla Walla is still in service today:

The Walla Walla ferry boat, she can carry 2,000 passengers and more than 180 cars and trucks.

The Kalakala of the 1950s


The Kalakala ferry boat retired in 1967, this is a mural painting of it in the town of Port Angeles. From this town, you can take a ferry ride across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the Canadian city of Victoria, a popular tourist destination with beautiful gardens and museums and European style buildings. Some 20 years ago, one did not need a visa to go to Canada, a US driver's license was all they needed. Nowadays, a passport is required.

西雅图游记 Dec 1, 2018

David Shen wrote:

老孙,

你当真搬到西雅图来,那太好了!
我这几年住下来,对这里的衣食住行跟加州明显不一样的地方有一定体会,不妨跟你聊一聊。

老沈:

若真要搬到西雅图,我就怕买不起小木屋。 听说温哥华有不少人吃不消温哥华的房价,就来西雅图买房居住,宁可每天开车去温哥华上班,从而把西雅图房价炒高了。我们在温哥华期间,本想去 Victoria 的 Butchart Gardens,但因天气一直不大好,就没去。加拿大感恩节那天,天气倒是很好,但船票卖完了。后来在 Port Angeles 也只好望“洋”兴叹!等以后再补课吧!

我们游西雅图港时,坐的那条船名为 Spirit of Seattle,也看到过一条与 Walla Walla 相似的摆渡轮。我们在西雅图期间,常见5号高速公路上通向各渡口的告示牌显示,摆渡至少要等一个半小时或更长的时间。所以,我们去奥林匹克国家公园那天,就没敢坐摆渡轮。





另一天早饭后,我们开车去中国城转了转。本想在那儿吃午饭,但时间又有点早,于是就去了 Snoqualmie Falls。


看了 Snoqualmie Falls 之后,在上90号高速公路回西雅图之前,意外经过 Snoqualmie Casino。此时饥肠辘辘,我们就进去吃饭。一问,那里居然有一个中餐馆,名叫 “12 Moons”。那里的中餐相当地道,价钱也不算贵。令我们惊奇的是,居然还有正宗的兰州手工拉面。不过,我觉得在那儿吃完午饭后最好一抹嘴就走,不要多停留。否则,恐怕就没钱吃晚饭了! 那 Casino 门口也有印第安人的图腾柱。让印第安人开赌场,似乎是对他们的一种优惠。

老布什在北京留下的足迹: 部分场所现状一瞥

美国第41任总统乔治.赫伯特.沃克.布什11月30日与世长辞, 美国驻中国大使馆和大使官邸降半旗致哀。40多年前,在北京担任美国驻中国联络处主任期间,他与夫人芭芭拉.布什一起,骑自行车在北京走街串巷,尽可能接触社会和民间现实生活。美国之音记者近日到老布什夫妇曾经生活和光顾过的一些场所观察,发现这些在文革期间比较封闭的地方大多今非昔比,发生了显著变化。

Good tea is in the leaves, not on the package Dec 10, 2018

《好茶自有味,名茶只有名》
——这几天早茶得享山东日照 淞晨 1966

茶客天天想龙井,市上真货有几斤?
今日初尝山东绿,竟然不差狮峰行。

未知日照出淞晨,汤色浓郁杯清盈。
才吞三口六六茶,仿佛已过七七瘾。

D.S.2018.1210.a


来一杯绿茶 © 悟空问答

本人喜欢喝茶,但不是茶叶专家。我对茶的爱好是1977年和同学结伴春游上龙井村到茶农家里被培养起来的。这一杯热腾腾的(免费的)龙井炒青的味道至今记得,但几十年来这样好的绿茶只尝到过几次。市面上所谓的名茶很多,名声很响,但一入口你就知道到底值不值钱。当然除了绿茶还有各种红茶,洋人喝花茶者较多。在我看来他们这些五花八门的花瓣碎叶根本不能算茶。

对于一个二十多岁就喜欢喝茶的人,喝到退休的年纪应该能品味什么是好茶。能让我记得住的是:西湖龙井(杭州,1977),徽州绿茶(兰溪,1982),玄米茶(杭州,1986),静冈煎茶(UIUC,1989), 祁门红(海宁神农茶馆,2001),铁观音 (福州某酒店,2003),陈年普洱饼(丽江玉龙客栈,2007),台湾炭焙茶(Los Angeles,2016),最近的就是日照淞晨1966(San Francisco, 2018)。

A Glimpse into the Times of Charles Dickens Dec 24, 2018

【轻描淡写】《回访狄更斯时代》

Discussions on translation are a bit too serious for Christmas
So I am returning to Times Square to share
A glimpse into the Times of Charles Dickens
Somewhere in the low hills south of San Francisco

【轻描淡写】《回访狄更斯时代》

Discussions on translation are a bit too serious for Christmas
So I am returning to Times Square to share
A glimpse into the Times of Charles Dickens
Somewhere in the low hills south of San Francisco
There's been an ongoing big holiday party held at the end of each year
I paid a visit to this 36th indoor fair yesterday
To get a feel of the Victorian Era but housed in the Cow Palace
Dimly-lit, noisy and crowded, the indoor gala looked old
Shops, restaurants and pubs line the streets and alleys
Folks walked around dressed in Victorian attire,
Men wearing tall hats and women in corsets carrying cages on their dress
Flirting and merry-making in "London's narrow streets."
Clearly Americans, they were trying to speak in British accents.
All shops looked like antique stores, with old decor lit by candles.
Some were selling souvenirs, others old fashioned costumes made in China
There seemed to be a bar or club in each block for beer and liquor
And a couple of pubs that catered to sailors, selling nothing but spirits
The theatre on the London Docks were staging a comedy show
Next to the Music Academy, there were puppets and street singers
The Mad Sal's Ale House was a full house tonight
Thanks to the exotic Moroccan belly-dance accompanied in soothing music
I wondered into a Bohemian Pub trying to find artists
Only to see most of them drunk, those who were awake arguing over peanuts
Among the folks I talked to was a city counsel of London
Sitting authoritatively under a photograph of a young Queen Victoria
"How long has Her Majesty been on the throne when this was taken?" I asked
He turned around and looked at the portrait for 3 seconds: "I don't know."
I just smiled at him and said nothing but was thinking
Well, how could you be sitting at the City Counsel of London
And don't know nothing, about Her Majesty and your Queen
For the framed pictures on the wall, I sat next to him and had a picture taken
Further down the alley I met a bunch of chimney sweepers dressed in rags
"Sir, may I know what role do you guys play in old London, something like a plumber?"
"More like a fire department," said a chubby one, "without us half of London would burn.
Why? Because London was having a lot of chimney fires.
Because every house was using coal for heat and cooking."
"Why not wood, and was there a smog problem at that time?"
"Because there was no wood left within 30 miles of London,
And further beyond you would be in the ocean,
And definitely yes smog, there was even acid rain."
I finally stepped into a Victorian Tea House
Just to see what kind of tea that was enough to cause wars or the birth of a nation
What I saw were French fries, chicken legs, apple pies and everything McDonald sells
Well, that's it for my night of a Christmas Party in the golden era known as Victorian
At lease I had some fancy drinks bought for me by my son
And a taste of scenes created according to the novels of Charles Dickens

Here is the Dickens Christmas Fair (in San Francisco), someday you may be there.

Christmas in Old London © The Great Dickens Fair, San Francisco, 2018

I dumped the above lines all into Google Translate and the results for short sentences seem pretty good:

关于翻译的讨论对于圣诞节来说有点过于严肃
所以我回到时代广场分享
查尔斯狄更斯时代的一瞥
在旧金山南部的低山丘的某个地方
每年年底都有一个持续的大型假日聚会
我昨天参观了第36届室内展览会
感受维多利亚时代,但在牛宫中
室内灯光昏暗,嘈杂,拥挤,看起来很古老
街道和小巷都设有商店,餐馆和酒吧
人们穿着维多利亚时代的服装走来走去,
男子戴着高高的帽子和紧身胸衣的女人在他们的衣服上携带笼子
在“伦敦狭窄的街道”中调情和欢乐。
显然是美国人,他们试图用英国口音说话。
所有商店看起来都像古董店,旧装饰点燃蜡烛。
有些人在卖中国制造的纪念品和其他老式服装
每个街区似乎都有一个酒吧或俱乐部供啤酒和烈性酒使用
还有几家迎合水手的酒吧,除了烈酒之外别无他物
伦敦码头上的剧院正在举办喜剧表演
音乐学院旁边有木偶和街头歌手
Mad Sal's Ale House今晚全屋
由于充满异国情调的摩洛哥肚皮舞伴随着舒缓的音乐
我想知道波希米亚酒吧试图寻找艺术家
只看到大多数人喝醉了,那些醒着的人争论着花生
与我交谈的人中有一位是伦敦的市政律师
权威地坐在一张年轻的维多利亚女王的照片下
“女王陛下登上王位有多长时间了?”我问
他转身看着肖像画了3秒钟:“我不知道。”
我只是对他微笑,什么也没说,只是想着
那么,你怎么能坐在伦敦市法律顾问处呢
关于女王陛下和你的女王,什么都不知道
对于墙上的框架图片,我坐在他旁边拍了一张照片
在小巷的下面,我遇到了一堆衣衫褴褛的烟囱清扫工
“先生,我可以知道你们在旧伦敦扮演什么角色,像水管工一样?”
“更像是一个消防部门,”一个胖乎乎的人说,“没有我们一半的伦敦会燃烧。
为什么?因为伦敦有很多烟囱火灾。
因为每个房子都用煤来取暖和做饭。“
“为什么不用木头,当时是否有烟雾问题?”
“因为在伦敦30英里范围内没有木材,
除了你在海洋之外,
绝对是烟雾,甚至有酸雨。“
我终于踏入维多利亚时代的茶馆
只是为了看看什么样的茶足以引起战争或一个国家的诞生
我看到的是炸薯条,鸡腿,苹果馅饼和麦当劳销售的所有东西
嗯,这就是我在维多利亚时代的黄金时代的圣诞派对之夜
至少我的儿子为我买了一些精美的饮料
还有根据查尔斯狄更斯小说创作的场景

Merry Christmas 2018!

Joy to the World (David Archuleta and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir)


Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing

老孙,

你上面提到的西雅图附近 Snoqualmie Falls 等,一看就是印第安人地名。如从西雅图市区去瑞尼尔火山(Mt. Rainier)上的必经之路 Puyallup 小镇,当地人读音听起来好像“飘叶落坡” piu-'yah-le-po。我本想就连带当地的土著地名介绍一番周围其它景点,发现自己对那些地方了解还不够,只能暂等夏天出去跑几圈,揽得些直观感受在再介绍吧。这个时节,西雅图是最不好玩的地方,整天阴雨连绵,干脆下雪天倒又是一番景象,可西雅图即使下雪也马上化了。所以我还在躲在加州,南下洛杉矶去了两个星期又回湾区了。

聊天话题大家出,今天见了当天说。

《圣诞节后所见》

美 国 人 之 浪 费,
可 谓 惊 天 动 地。
光 是 礼 物 包 装,
够让小国用一世纪。


老沈眼见为实,并且有此为证:

据斯坦福大学统计:

......从感恩节到新年期间,美国人扔掉的垃圾比一年中的任何其他时间多25%, 额外的垃圾高达到2500万吨。......

要知道这个吨位是“额外”。
