听到过不止一次,同学们把heaven和paradise这两个词弄混。有一次外教课,同学们说老外应该去杭州,因为那里是heaven。老外吓一跳,说我还没死去heaven干什么
这个是 heaven:
而这个是paradise :
A Greek to Remember
Diogenes was a famous Greek philosopher of the fourth century B.C.
who established the philosophy of often walked about in the daytime holding a lighted lantern
peering around as if he were looking for auestioned about his odd behavior
he would reply
"I am searching for an honest man." Diogenes held that the good man was self-sufficient and did not require material forts or believed that
wealth and possessions constrained humanity's natural state of keeping with his philosophy
he was perefectly satisfied with making his home in a large tub discarded from the temple of Cybele
the goddess of nature. This earthen tub
called a pithos
and formerly been used for holding wine or oil for the sacrifices at the temple. One day
Alexander the Great
conqueror of half the civilized world
saw Diogenes sitting in this tub in the sunshine the king
surrounded by his countries
approached Diogenes and said
"I am Alexander the Great."The philosopher replied rather contemptuously
"I am Diogenes
the Cynic."Alexander then asked him if he could help him in any way." Yes
"shot back Diogenes
"don't stand beeen me and the sun."A surprised Alexander then replied quickly
"If I were not Alexander
I would be Diogenes."
提奥奇尼斯是公元前四世纪一位著名的希腊哲学家
就是他创立了犬儒派哲学。他经常在白天点着灯笼四处走动、张望,像是在找什么东西似的。哪人们问起他这古怪行为时,他会回答说:“我正在寻找正人君子。”提奥奇尼斯认为好人是自给自足的,不需要物质享受和财富。他认为财富、财产束缚了人们天生的自由状态。与他的哲学相一致,他拿一个从别人从自然之母的庙里丢弃的大坛作为自己的家,还对此万分满意。这个陶制的大坛叫做圣坛,过去在庙里是用来盛装祭祀用的酒和油的。一天,征服了半个文明世界的亚历山大大帝看见提奥奇尼斯坐在大坛里晒太阳。于是这位君主在大臣们的簇拥下走过去,对提奥奇尼斯说:“我是亚历山大大帝。”哲学家相当傲慢地回答说:“我是提奥奇尼斯————犬儒学者。”然后亚历山大问他是否需要任何帮助。“是的”,提奥奇尼斯驳回道,“别站在我和太阳之间。”大吃一惊的亚历大继而迅速回答道:“假如我不是亚历山大,我就会是提奥奇斯。”
