P: I think that maybe Chinese students are a lot more romantic. They have quite a romanticized vision of boyfriend and girlfriends.
U: You mean, if a boyfriend-girlfriend get together typically they'll expect to eventually get married or be together for life?
P: Yes, in a way I think that in England a boyfriend/girlfriend is just something quite transitional -- it's just something that's going to move on and you don't think about it.
U: You know it's temporary, right?
P: That's it, yeah, but in China I think there's more a tendency to look towards a future, a major future with that person.
U: Is that just -- you know, about Western people being transitional and relationships being temporary -- is that just an idea that people have in ... about Western relationships, or is that something that's true in your own experience, say with .... If you think about your friends, are they in relationships that they figure are probably going to last only a short time?
P: Yeah, I think so. I think that it's a lot easier to move around between different partners. And it's ... it's not seen as .... There's not a stigma attached to doing that. I think that in China if you do that you're seen ... you're labeled easier. And it's ... it's something that people try and stay away from. Especially ... especially girls. Maybe .... I'm not saying that in England girls constantly have different boyfriends every week, but I think it's not as much of an issue.
U: Say like .... Before marriage, in England, it wouldn't be unusual for a girl to have maybe what, three, four, five boyfriends?
P: Yeah. Yeah, and that's seen as quite, quite acceptable. Maybe not by her family as much but by ... socially ....
U: Her peers.
P: Her peers, yeah. It's ... it's quite fine. I suppose that in that sense it's quite a major difference.
U: What other significant points of difference are there between the Chinese and the Western people in your experience?
P: Well, I'll say food.
U: Yeah?
P: But that's partly cultural. And I think...
U: Food ...? In what way? Would you like to ....
P: Well the food thing .... For example I .... Before I came to China I think food was the major issue. People would say to me, oh you .... Some of the things you'll have to eat .... You'll eat snake, monkey, which is quite .... I mean, I .... Obviously it's not possible to eat monkey but this was .... I think people in England have got a strange idea of ... of food in ... in China. Which is partly true.
U: But in England you ... you .... You have Chinese food restaurants everywhere, don't you?
P: We do but it's a special type of English Chinese, which has been tainted to suit the taste buds ....
U: The Western palate.
P: Yes.
U: Well how about all the .... What about all the Chinese people living in England? What do they eat -- in restaurants?
P: Well I don't think they go to Chinese restaurants. I .... Unless it's a ... a... quite a spectacular one, where they maybe know that the people who ... who ... who work there .... They would mostly keep away from the Chinese restaurants.
U: Well, where'd the Chinese people eat -- the Italian restaurants?
P: I think so, yeah. Pizza Huts.
U: Philip, thank you very much for joining us here at Uriel Yak, it's been a pleasure talking to you! And please tune in next time for our Uriel Yak show!

Anyone Of Us (Stupid Mistake)
Written by Jorgen Elofsson/ Per Magnusson/ David Kreuger
Vocal: Gareth Gates
选自专辑：What My Heart Wants to Say
I've been letting you down, down
Girl I know I've been such a fool
Giving in to temptation
I should've played it cool
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
It can happen to anyone of us
Anyone you think of
Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Hearts will break
'Cos I made a stupid mistake
It can happen to anyone of us
Say you will forgive me
Anyone can fail
Say you will believe me
I can't take, my heart will break
'Cos I made a stupid mistake
A stupid mistake
She was kind of exciting
A little crazy, I should've known
She must have altered my senses
As I offered to walk her home
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
It can happen to anyone of us
Anyone you think of
Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Hearts will break
'Cos I made a stupid mistake
It can happen to anyone of us
Say you will forgive me
Anyone can fail
Say you will believe me
I can't take, my heart will break
'Cos I made a stupid mistake
A stupid mistake
A stupid mistake
She means nothing to me
Nothing to me
I swear every word is true
Don't wanna lose you
The situation got out of hand
I hope you understand
It can happen to anyone of us
Anyone you think of
Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Oh yeah hearts will break
'Cos I made a stupid mistake
It can happen to anyone of us
Say you will forgive me
Anyone can fail
Say you will believe me
I can't take, my heart will break
'Cos I made a stupid mistake
Anyone can fall
Anyone can hurt someone they love
Oh yeah hearts will break
'Cos I made a stupid mistake
A stupid mistake
凡人都会犯错
我让你伤心，伤心了
女孩，我知道我是如此愚蠢
向诱惑屈服
我应该理智对待
但是当时情难自控
我希望你明白
任何人都有可能发生
你想到的任何人
任何人都会犯错
伤害他们心爱的人
令他们心碎
因为我犯了愚蠢的错
任何人都有可能犯的错
告诉我你会原谅我
任何人都可能犯错
告诉我你会原谅我
我无法忍受，我将心碎
因为我犯了愚蠢的错误
愚蠢的错误
她令人兴奋
我应该知道她有些疯狂
她一定把我的意识麻醉了
我提出送她回家
当时情难自控
我希望你明白
任何人都有可能发生
你想到的任何人
任何人都会犯错
伤害他们心爱的人
令他们心碎
因为我犯了愚蠢的错
任何人都有可能犯的错
告诉我你会原谅我
任何人都可能犯错
告诉我你会原谅我
我无法忍受，我将心碎
因为我犯了愚蠢的错误
愚蠢的错误
愚蠢的错误
她在我心中一文不值
一文不值
我发誓我说的一切都是真的
不想失去你

For Everything There is a Season
from Ecclesiastes
For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to 1)pluck up that which has planted;
A time to kill and a time to 2)heal;
A time to break down and a time to build up;
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to morn and a time to dance;
A time to 3)cast away stones and a time to gather stones together;
A time to 4)embrace and a time to 5)refrain from embracing;
A time to get and a time to lose;
A time to keep and a time to cast away;
A time to 6)rend and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence and a time to speak;
A time to love and a time to hate;
A time of war and a time of peace.
万物有时节
大千世界中，万物有时节，一切自有深意：
有诞生，也有死亡的时候；
有种植，也有采摘的时候；
有杀伤，也有治疗的时候；
有坍塌，也有修建的时候；
有哭泣，也有欢笑的时候；
有悲恸，也有起舞的时候；
有投掷石块，也有收集石块的时候；
有拥抱，也有不拥抱的时候；
有收获，也有失去的时候；
有保留，也有抛弃的时候；
有撕碎，也有缝补的时候；
有沉默，也有发言的时候；
有爱，也有恨的时候；
有战争，也有和平的时候。

I Like for You to be Still
Read by Glenn Close
I like for you to be still: it is as though you are 1)absent
and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth
As all things are filled with my soul
you emerge from the things, filled with my soul
You are like my soul, a butterfly of dreams
and you are like the word 2)Melancholy
I like for you to be still, and you seem far away
It sounds as though you are 3)lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove
And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you
Let me come to be still in your silence
And let me talk to you with your silence
that is bright as a lamp, simple as a ring
You are like the night, with its stillness and 4)constellations
Your silence is that of a star, as remote and 5)candid
I like for you to be still: it is as though you are absent
distant and full of sorrow, as though you had died
One word then, one smile, is enough
And I'm happy, happy that it's not true
我喜欢你是静静的
我喜欢你是静静的：仿佛你消失了一样
你从远处聆听我，我的声音却无法触及你
好像你的目光已经游离飘去
如同一个吻，封缄了你的嘴
如同我积满一切的灵魂
而你从一切中出现，充盈了我的灵魂
你像我的灵魂，像一只梦想的蝴蝶
你如同“忧郁”这个词
我喜欢你是静静的，好像你已远去
你听起来像在悲叹，一只如鸽般喁喁细语的蝴蝶
你从远处聆听我，我的声音却无法触及你
让我在你的恬谧中安静无声
并且让我藉着你的沉默与你说话
你的沉默亮若明灯，简单如环
你如黑夜，拥有寂静与群星
你的沉默就是星星的沉默，遥远而明亮
我喜欢你是静静的：仿佛你消失了一样
远隔千里，满怀哀恸，仿佛你已不在人世
彼时，一个字，一个微笑，就已足够
而我会感到幸福，因那不是真的感到幸福
注释：
1) absent a. 缺席不在
2) melancholy n. 忧郁
3) lamenting a. 悲伤的，悲哀的

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
(Scene 1: Harry Potter was born a wizard but after Voldemort, an evil wizard, kills his parents, he is raised by his relatives, the Dursleys, who treats him more like vermin than like a family member.)
Uncle Vernon: I'm warning you. If you don't control that 1)bloody bird, it'll have to go!
Harry: But she's bored. If I could only let her out... for an hour or two.
Uncle Vernon: Harumph. So you can send secret messages to your 2)freaking little friends? No, sir!
Harry: But I haven't had any messages from any of my friends. Not one - all summer.
Dudley: Who'd want to be friends with you?
Uncle Vernon: I should think you'd be a little more grateful. We've raised you since you were a baby, given you the food off our table, even let you have Dudley's second bedroom, purely out of the goodness of our hearts.
Aunt Petunia: Not now, Hopkins, not when the Masons arrive.
Uncle Vernon: ...which should be any minute! And, now, let's go over our schedule once again, shall we? Petunia, when the Masons arrive you will be...
Aunt Petunia: ...in the lounge, waiting to welcome them 3)graciously to our home.
Uncle Vernon: Good. And Dudley, you will be...
Dudley: I'll be waiting to open the door.
Uncle Vernon: Excellent! (Pause several seconds, to Harry, 4)menacing) And you?
Harry: I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending that I don't exist.
Uncle Vernon: Too right you will! With any luck this could well be the day I make the biggest deal in my career, and you will not 5)mess it up!
(Scene 2: When Harry enters his bedroom, the house elf Dobby is waiting for him who warns him that under no circumstances is he to return to Hogwarts, where a great danger is waiting for him.)
Dobby: (Jumping up and down on Harry's bed) Nah hah! Whoo hoo hoo! (Seeing Harry) Harry Potter! Such an honour it is!
Harry: Who are you?
Dobby: Dobby, sir. Dobby, the house elf.
Harry: Not to be rude or anything, but this isn't a great time for me to have a house elf in my bedroom.
Dobby: Oh. Oh, yes, sir. Dobby understands. It's just that, Dobby has come to tell you... it is difficult, sir... Dobby wonders where to begin.
Harry: Why don't you sit down.
Dobby: (Surprised) Sit down? Sit... sit down? Oooooh ho ho! (6)Wailing) Oooooh ho ho !
Harry: Dobby, please, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or anything.
Dobby: Offend Dobby!? Dobby has heard of your greatness, sir, but never has he been asked to sit down by a wizard, like an equal!
Harry: You can't have met many 7)decent wizards then.
Dobby: No! I haven't! It was an awful thing to say. (Stomping, pounding his head on the wall) Bad bobby! Bad bobby!
Harry: Dobby! Please Stop!
Dobby: Dobby had to punish himself, sir. Dobby almost 8)spoke ill of his family, sir.
Harry: Your family!
Dobby: The wizard family Dobby serves, sir. Dobby's bound to serve one family forever. If they ever knew Dobby was here... (shivery) oooo! But Dobby had to come. Dobby has to protect Harry Potter! To warn him! Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwart's School of 9)Witchcraft and 10)Wizardry this year. There is a plot; a plot to make the most terrible things happen!
Harry: What terrible things? Who's 11)plotting them?
Dobby: Ooh! Dare... can't ... say!
Harry: OK. I understand. You can't say.
Dobby: (Tearing sound) Erck! Ack! Aah...
(Scene 3: Harry meets the Malfoys in the Diagon Alley.)
Draco Malfoy: (Jealously) Bet you loved that, 12)didn't ya, Potter!? Famous Harry Potter! Can't even enter a bookstore without makin' the front page!
Ginny: Leave him alone!
Draco Malfoy: Alright, Potter, ya got yourself a girlfriend!
Lucius Malfoy: Now, Draco. Play nicely. (To Harry) Mr. Potter? (Introduce self) Lucius Malfoy. We meet at last. Forgive me, your scar is legend as, of course is the wizard who gave it to you.
Harry: Voldemort killed my parents. He was nothing more than a murderer!
Lucius Malfoy: Hmmm. You must be very brave to mention his name, or very foolish.
Hermione: Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.
Lucius Malfoy: And you must be Miss Granger. Yes, Drake has told me all about you, and your parents... 13)Muggles, aren't they? (To Ron) Let me see. Red hair, 14)vacant expressions, 15)tatty, second-hand book... you must be at the Weasley's.
Arthur Weasley: Children! It's not in here! That side!
Lucius Malfoy: Where, where, where? Weasley senior.
Arthur Weasley: Lucius.
Lucius Malfoy: Busy time at the Ministry, Arthur -- those extra 16)raids. I do hope they paid you 17)overtime. But judging by the state of this, I'd say not. As for you, sir, a disgrace to the name of wizard. And they don't even pay you well for it?
