Be Ready for Surprises
拥抱惊喜
在制作这期杂志的过程中,小编们无意中发现这期内容里竟然有两个turkey,一个是地跨亚欧大陆的国家Turkey,一个是禽鸟中的火鸡turkey。两者看似毫不相干,却有着很深的渊源。土耳其(Turkey)的名字由突厥人(Turks)的名称演变而来,而火鸡(turkey)的得名则是因为16世纪的欧洲人将火鸡误以为是来自土耳其的另一种禽鸟。这可真是一个意外发现,让小编着实兴奋了一阵子。
有人说过,life is full of surprises,许多意想不到的惊喜、意外之事让我们的生活变得多姿多彩。这不,我们还没有从turkey的惊喜中回过神来,一位吞食了多种动物的老太太从天而降,让我们喜不自禁;随后,我们又发现了一部暖人心扉的手绘动画片《埃塞尔和欧内斯特》,太棒了,生活对我们实在不薄。
开放心态,你也会发现生活充满了惊喜。
Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see, hear,or feel it when it comes to us. Let’s not be afraid to receive each day’s surprise, whether it comes to us as sorrow or as joy. It will open a new place in our hearts, a place where we can welcome new friends and celebrate more fully our shared humanity[人性].
—Henri Nouwen
Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us.
—Boris Pasternak
I’m a great believer in the beauty and the power of surprise.
