【沈氏吟草】OBSERVED: 《最新版的“不自由,毋宁死”》

视死如归宿,风度称魏晋。世上哪还有?就在我附近。
老美呆不住,抗议居家令。“不让我出门,等于要我命!”
Give me no quarantine or give me COVID-19!

D.S.2020.0419.b


Demonstrators begin to gather at a protest opposing Washington state's stay-home order to slow the coronavirus outbreak Sunday, April 19, 2020, in Olympia, Wash. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has blasted President Donald Trump's calls to "liberate" parts of the country from stay-at-home and other orders that are designed to combat the spread of the coronavirus. Inslee says that Trump is fomenting a potentially deadly "insubordination" among his followers before the pandemic is contained. © AP Photo/Elaine Thompson

P.S.
数码时代的交流方式已经不知不觉地融入手写,比如左边牌子上的那个 Hashtag, 但看这两牌上的手写英文及其版面排列布局,叫人实在不敢恭维。五六十年代出生的美国人手写大多很不错(年纪再大点的往往更好)。迄今为止我很少看到美国的年轻人手写比他们的父母辈还好的。

如今多用电脑打,许多手写实在差。
只管抗议不管字,不怪国人丢书法。

根据法国人的研究报告,美国气象预报专家说:Even the highest summer temperatures may not hinder new coronavirus, study suggests _By Mark Puleo, AccuWeather staff writer

...The study, led by researchers Remi Charrel and Boris Pastorino from the University of Aix-Marseille in France, found that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, was killed by 15 minutes of exposure to 197.6-degree Fahrenheit temperatures. For context, water boils at 212 F.

According to the study's abstract, the virus was more effectively reduced at the heating protocol of 92 degrees Celsius, or 197.6 F, for 15 minutes rather than 56 C, or 132.8 F, for 30 minutes -- or even 60 C (140 F) for 60 minutes.



之三·法国美食家的六十五度鸡蛋


Best tasting egg cooked at 65 C © SMITHSONIAN Magazine

I'd rather have a hard-boiled egg that chews like rubber,
Instead of a delicacy with running yolk and tastes better.
Bonjour Monsieur Hervé This, would you please Hervé that?
I mean that corona-virus that causes COVID-19 pandemic.

法国美食家 Hervé This 说用六十五度炖熟的鸡蛋味道最好,可看了上面这篇报道,‘淌黄蛋’就不太敢吃了。
How Do You Cook the Perfect Egg

... A French molecular gastronomist named Hervé This shook the culinary world in 2002 when he revealed to the famed chef Pierre Gagnaire that he had discovered l’oeuf à soixante-cinq degrés, “the 65-degree egg.” According to This, an egg slowly cooked at 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit)—in water or an oven—would be unmatched in flavor and texture.

【沈氏吟草】GARDENING: 《居家·种豆》

居 家 一 月 余, 豆 苗 已 出 齐。
松 鼠 遍 地 挖, 黄 鸟 偷 三 粒。
蜗 牛 啃 五 株, 最 壮 成 残 废。
罩 上 铁 丝 网, 所 剩 实 无 几。
......
解禁以后再去买,只恐怕,等到雪豆开花时,已入雪季。

Shakespeare's Restless World Apr 26, 2020

Procession of Characters from Shakespeare's Plays by an unknown 19th-century artist


Plague and the Playhouse

Neil MacGregor, former Director of the British Museum, looks at how impact of the plague of 1603 as told through a series of early 17th-century proclamations.

Shakespeare’s life was marked by plague. His life started at the height of the first great Elizabethan outbreak in 1563-4, when the plague wiped out a quarter of the population of Stratford.

Later, when he was working in the theatres of London, the plague was to return once again and change the shape of his career. In 1603, a fresh epidemic swept through London forcing the theatres to close for almost a year and leaving Shakespeare’s company little choice but to head out on the road to tour the provinces.

Meanwhile, the newly-crowned King James I had to with establish himself as the head of a people who were more than a little bit suspicious of Elizabeth’s Scottish cousin, while also faced with impossible task of protecting the nation from the advancing threat of the vile and deadly plague.

"May the Force be with you" May 4, 2020


BIRD SONG OPERA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMXD4h5w8D8


BirdDay


On May 4, 1894, Bird Day was first observed at the initiative of Charles Almanzo Babcock, superintendent of schools in Oil City, Pennsylvania. By 1910, Bird Day was widely celebrated, often in conjunction with Arbor Day. Statewide observances of the two holidays inculcated conservation training and awareness in a broad spectrum of the public, especially school children.
… …

Bird Day reflected the early American conservation movement's particular concern with birds, both as vivid examples of the natural world requiring protection and as objects of economic, aesthetic, moral, and sentimental interest to people, including children. The era's extensive literature on birds is suggested by the lengthy list of titles on popular ornithology in the Library of Congress.

“红墙第一翻译”冀朝铸逝世 May 5, 2020

https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_7252466
2020-05-03 12:33 来源:澎湃新闻

澎湃新闻记者从冀朝铸先生亲友处获悉,中国著名外交家、联合国原副秘书长冀朝铸于4月29日下午在北京逝世,享年91岁。

那位曾“站在毛主席右边的人”,被誉为“红墙第一翻译”的冀朝铸先生,悄然逝去了。冀朝铸先生曾担任过中国驻英国特命全权大使等重要职务。他去世的消息,却未见中国官方正式报道。澎湃新闻记者也只是“从冀朝铸先生亲友处获悉”,连联合国似乎也已经忘了这位曾经的联合国副秘书长。

似乎有人已把这本书译成了中文(不知是否得到授权?)。译者把 “The Man on Mao's Right” 译为《毛的得力助手》,这恐怕过于夸张,也不符合冀先生本意。冀先生看来是个很谨慎的人。

那次见他,他看上去非常年轻,我当时根本没想到他比我大那么多。

记得以前报纸上他名字写作 冀朝柱,不知究竟如何?

New York, NY (Frank Sinatra)

Start spreadin' the news
I’m leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, NY

These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, NY

I wanna wake up in a city
That doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap


These little town blues
Are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it
In ol' New York

If I can make it there
I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you
New York, NY

New York, NY
I want to wake up in a city
That never sleeps
And find I’m A, number one
Top of the list
King of the hill
A, number one


These little town blues
Are melting away
I’m gonna make a brand new start of it
In ol' New York

And, if I can make it there
I’m gonna make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, NY
