因為看了電影:車票,內容吸引,很久沒有對電影的著迷又回來了!當知道是改編李家同的著作:車票,立刻上網查看,屏山天水圍圖書館有兩本未有借出,希望放工後借來閱讀吧!感受母愛的偉大和無奈! 分類號 857 4037 兒童圖書館
一個男孩出生不久後就被遺棄在火車站,有人發現後,將他送往新竹天主教德蘭中心,由修女們撫養他長大。修女們對於無家可歸的他特別關照,給予他完善的教育,使他成為一位優秀有為的青年。某次在服役期間,男孩回德蘭中心拜訪,修女交給他當年夾在襁褓中的兩張公車及火車票票根,做為探尋身世的線索。對母親滿懷怨懟的他,對於母親當年拋棄他的原因一直難以釋懷。修女卻仍鼓勵男孩去找母親,認為男孩已有光明的前途,沒有理由讓自己身世之謎永遠成為心頭的陰影。男孩終於去了。在屏東的一個小山城裡,他一一的找出關於自己的過去,解開一道道繫在心上的謎,也對自己的親生母親全然改觀……。

近來一直沒在讀什麼書,也許是心散所致。小說什麼的,仍是要興致好了才讀得下去。至於資訊性的書,我偏食得很緊要。往往借來後才翻到一半,就已是耐著性子讀下去的狀態。不過前幾天我倒是借到了一本好書,叫做《愛因斯旦和他整死人的相對論》。相對論不是什麼輕鬆簡單的事物,這本書卻相當的輕鬆簡單。我幾乎是一口氣就讀完了它,差點連覺都沒睡好。
這本書比較概括性地簡介了二十世紀的偉人——愛因斯坦的生平。但作者並非如白開水般平鋪直敘,而是運用了相當輕鬆幽默的口氣,並配以同樣輕鬆幽默(而且畫風十分優美,可以保證)的漫畫,最終出來的幽默效果不止兩倍,而是平方。不過,若你以為這本書的深度只到這裏為止的話,你就大錯特錯了。我確信這本書的作者不單是語言的高手,而且對物理知之甚詳。書中不但介紹了——只要是介紹愛因斯坦就無法回避的——愛因斯坦的眾多物理成就(如狹義相對論與廣義相對論),而且還——以相當高明的方式——解釋了那些理論是怎麼回事。沒有計算。沒有密密麻麻的專業名詞。沒有理所當然的專家口吻。就算你只是初中部一年級也能毫無困難地讀完整本書,而且(在正常情況下)絕不會有頭痛現象發生。
讓我就作者殺死人的幽默舉一個小小的例子(由於書暫時不在我手上,這裏無法引述原文):
知道什麼是宇宙嗎?知道吧。知道什麼是行星嗎?知道吧。知道什麼是引力嗎?你當然知道了。那麼,你知道什麼是宇宙常數嗎——?
要解釋什麼是宇宙常數,你可以先想像自己有一條末端是一個蛋糕的領帶,而現在這條領帶正掛在你的脖子上。不要與我爭論世界上有沒有這種領帶,也不要爭論你永遠不會將這樣的一條領帶綁在脖子上——總之,你現在是綁著它了。
現在再想像你伸出你的兩只手臂,使勁地將你的領帶向外拉。這時假設你的頭與蛋糕是宇宙裏的兩顆行星,那條也使想將蛋糕向你的頭往回拉的領帶是引力,那麼宇宙常數就是你的兩只手臂了。如果你想知道宇宙常數到底起著什麼作用,將你的兩只手臂放開就可以了。
有困難嗎?沒有吧。這本趣味性與資訊性都相當高的書,我現在把它推薦給你。至於你看不看得到這篇推薦,有沒有那個慧眼去預借這本書,這又是另一說了、不過,溫馨提示:(我直到現在還沒消化完書裏面的全部笑點,所以想借的人再等個一萬年吧)
Life without limits
I have to confess that I’m a girl with a feeble personality. When I was reading “Life without limits”, I kept reflecting on myself and thinking of my life and my circumstances. I realized that I have many defects that I’ve never noticed and I noticed that grumbling has been one of my habits. What’s more, “Oh my goodness!” is my platitude when I meet with problems.
I believe in god, at the same time, I challenge him. I like to ask God “WHY?” as I am eager to wonder why I’m so unlucky. I cannot do what I want, I cannot achieve targets and even I don’t know what I should do. Every now and then, I feel I am just like a stray lamb which is really silly and unfortunate.
I always pray too. At that moment, I will tell God what I want Him to help me and what I’m looking for. Then, I’m looking forward to the answer from God. Of course, not all my problems were solved after I prayed. When my prayers were not answered, I would challenge God and sometimes not believe in Him anymore. In my point of view, if God is real, why doesn’t He help his girl to solve her problems? My brothers always told me that the Lord loves us and we should love Him and believe in Him. Although I know it, it’s hard on me to love the one who doesn’t help me. As a result, I’m always confused and I get lost mentally.
Nick taught me that if the Lord didn’t answer my prayers, I didn’t need to worry about it as God has His plan for me in the future. I’m humbled by Nick’s faith since he treats God as well as his best friends. Nick believes God without any challenge. In his book, I have never felt that Nick is pitiful even though he lives without limbs and he is different from normal people. He is an extraordinary man who is full of hopes and loves.
In addition to faith, Nick told me that “You can’t wait for that miracle or “just right opportunity”. ”Waiting”—-the biggest enemy of me. Sometimes, when I feel I may be overcome by frustrations, I tell to myself that I just need to wait for a right opportunity to solve my problems. Of course, I now realize that in the bottom of my heart, I not only want to wait but also want to hide the problems. In reality, I’m still alive and I have to solve problems that will be or may be occurring in my life. In chapter two—— No Arms, No Legs, No Limits, I learned that “Life may not be going well for you now, but as long as you are here, as long as you pass through, anything is possible.”
The most important thing is that I’ve learned that I have to change my attitude if I want to change my plight. I have just realized that I will be responsible for my attitude. I must consider if my attitude is suitable before I do anything. Nick is the most inspiring person who I have ever known as he doesn’t hold old hurts and he always holds an optimistic attitude. I think that’s why he can be a really successful speaker. Although I may not get success after changing, it’s better to be change than remain the same.
你會以甚麼的準則去選取一本書籍閱讀?
有同學會隨意在書架瀏覽書籍的名稱,可能會被書名吸引而閱讀;
有同學會從圖書館系統搜尋圖書推介,看看有甚麼書值得閱讀;
亦有同學只喜歡某些作者,集中看他們的著作;
哪麼你又會怎樣在書海去選書呢?
在街上或車廂內不難看見愈來愈多人閱讀網上資訊或電子書,甚至有人會說傳統的印刷書將會被電子書取代!你有甚麼回應?
