(地球村部聊天 室记事VI)
I realize that there’s no remedying the past. But I know there’s hope in the future. After all I have not gone far on the wrong road. And I am aware that what I do today is right,yesterday wrong.
悟已往之不谏,知来者之可追;实迷途其未远,觉今是而昨非。——陶潜
Up and down the streets, I must have run-A thousand times or more in search of one, who I have concluded, cannot be found;For everywhere, no trace of her can be seen,When, all of a sudden,I turned about, That’s her, where lanterns are few and far between.

271. 小丑与跳梁小丑
一
慕竹:a person who wears funny clothes and a big red nose and does silly things to make people(especially children)laugh.知道这是什么人吗?
宇轩:这么高深的问题,大概思梅知道吧。
明月:思梅快说是你的什么人。
思梅:二位是拿我开刷,宇轩你就明说吧。
宇轩:穿滑稽的衣服,画上大红鼻子,做着傻傻的事,逗人哈哈大笑,尤其是小孩子,这不是小丑吗?
明月:宇轩英语进大,令人刮目相看。
宇轩:咱们彼此彼此。
慕竹:小丑的另一种英文解释是:a person who makes jokes and does silly things the people around them laugh.下面这个估计只有思梅能解释了。思梅说说,a contemptible scoundrel是什么意思?
宇轩:我就认得第一个“a”,其余两个没学过。
思梅:单词不认得可以查字典,手机搜索一下也很方便。
宇轩:我来查查看。哦, 知道啦。Contemptible的意思是可耻的;可鄙的;卑劣的。scoundrel的意思是无赖;混蛋;浑蛋。连起来就是一个卑鄙的无赖;一个可耻的混蛋,我说的对吧?
明月:百分之百的正确。
思梅:简而言之,跳梁小丑是也。
宇轩:说曹操,曹操到。对面走来两个人,听听他们的对话。
明月:好主意。倾听是美德。
慕竹:更是一门学问。
思梅:兼听则明,偏听则暗。
