夜之妃   沉鱼

 

 

燕山新月淡如钩，黄沙千里卷飞霜，

 

三军晓驾披铁衣，箭拔弩张朔气寒。

 

江南依旧好风光，姹紫嫣红参差放，

 

美人曾向月下舞，瑶池仙子竞相看。

 

青衣绰绰抚银河，琴弦铮铮踏歌行，

 

战马啾啾蹄不前，将军频频回首望。

 

 

红烛有泪珠未凝，怎奈尊前笑不成，

 

临别殷殷重寄词，当知妾身心如丝。

 

君有逸龙剑三尺，妾有春雷弦一柱，

 

剑啸长空当报国，弦如饮泣夜如歌。

 

白驹过隙不知岁，雨燕南来报三年，

 

料是功成平虏日，前庭业已盛菊妍。

 

from Livia

 

Summer in Italy

 

This is what we've worked for all our lives

Reaching for the highest goal we can

We choose to give it all

When competition calls

Time records the Victory in our hearts

To win or lose is not the only thing

It's all in how we play the fairest game

This is the chance we take

Reaching for the top

Time records the Victory in our hearts

 

To be number one

Running like the wind

Playing hard but always playing fair

(oh Year)

To be number one

Winning again and again

Reaching higher

Through Italian sky

 

This is what we've worked for all our lives

Shining like a shooting star at night

We've got to give it all

When we hear the call

Time records the victory in our hearts

 

 

ITALIA, MY REASON TO BE STRONG

 

 

Impresa Mondiale, l'Italia è in finale

 

Stunning late extra-time strikes from Fabio Grosso and Alessandro del Piero took Italy into the World Cup final at Germany's expense with a 2-0 win.

How exciting, and how cruel!

While celebrating the victory of Italy,

I was sighing that I could only enjoy such classic game in the hotel at 5am.

Less exciting, with more cruelty!

 

My cousin often joked that I was sent back by FIFA as football blackguard.

I took it as a way of self-amusement and self-comfort.

However, at this very moment,

I realized clearly that I did miss the chance to be in Germany for the World Cup.

I laughed at myself:

This is another kind of chill in the World Cup.

 

May, a season of changing.

The Frenchmen’s insistence made me eventually leave SONY.

PHILIPS’ enthusiasm resulted in my determination to move to the Netherlands.

But my Chinese passport forced me to return to China for my Dutch Visa while I was in Belgium.

And unfortunately I encountered again the numerous requirements of the Chinese documents.

 

June, a season when I should not have been in China.

I was supposed to be in Germany to watch the games;

Or at least I could have stayed in the Netherlands with beers + funky fans + streaking.

Into the bargain I could have also chosen to go to Belgium or to Italy to meet up my Italian friends for quaff and parties.

But I am unluckily in China:

Because of work, I never watched the games on 3am until the semi-finals;

Because of my dear parents, I even remained in the hotel to watch the games;

Because of the expensive mobile fees, I could only cheered to my father when I was happy for the games.

 

July, a season when I should have returned to Europe.

I should have really been back.

I favor Italy, but their performance at the very beginning made me kick them out of semi-finalists.

Nevertheless, Italy revives.

 

‘The great Italian left-back! He succeeded in the glorious traditions of Italy! Fachetti! Cabrini! Maldini! - Their souls are infused in him. Grosso, he on his own represents the long and great Italian football tradition. This is not an individual's fight. He is not on his own.

 

The great Italian left-back! Maldini, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Viva Italia! Italy the Great!

 

Victory belongs to Italy, belongs to Grosso, to Cannavaro, to Buffon, to Zambrotta, to Maldini, TO ALL LOVERS OF ITALIAN FOOTBALL.’

 

The disputed comments from Huang Jianxiang, our CCTV commentator, made all the people understand well ‘the football is round’.

It makes us so excited.

I have reasons to go back, I have reasons to be crazy,

However,

I just remain here, quietly, watching Italy and their left-back entering the final.

 

Looking forward to the great victory of Italy!

Looking forward to my great return!

 

 

 

意大利在加时赛最后时刻绝杀东道主，

是那样的刺激，是那样的残酷，

而我，

为意大利狂呼的同时，也感叹自己只能在凌晨5点的酒店里品味这份经典，

少了分刺激，多了分残酷。

 

表哥经常四处宣扬我是被国际足联送回国的足球流氓。

我也把他这个玩笑当成了自娱自乐自我安慰的方式。

只可惜，此时,

当我清楚意识到我的确错过了亲临德国享受世界杯的机会时，

我只能嘲笑自己：

这是一种世界杯另类的失意。

 

5月，一个变换的季节。

法国人的坚决让我离开了索尼；

飞利浦的热情让我决定移师荷兰；

而我的中国护照却让我不得不从距荷兰仅一步之遥的比利时返回中国签证，

也让我再次领教中国办证的繁缛。

 

6月，一个我不应该在中国的季节。

约好了要一起去德国看球的；

要么留在荷兰起码也有啤酒+狂热球迷+裸奔吧？！

再者我还可以选择回比利时或去意大利，和我那群意大利朋友痛饮狂欢啊！

而我却偏偏在中国：

为了工作，3点的球四分之一决赛前是没法看的；

为了亲爱的爸妈，只能乖乖地待在酒店看；

为了手机费，高兴也只是冲老爸吼几声。。。

 

7月，一个我应该回欧洲的季节。

我真的应该回去的。

虽然喜欢意大利队，但他们最初的表现让我不得不把他们开除出我的四强名单。

可意大利复活了。。。

 

‘伟大的意大利的左后卫！他继承了意大利的光荣的传统。法切蒂、卡布里尼、马尔蒂尼在这一刻灵魂附体，格罗索一个人他代表了意大利足球悠久的历史和传统，这一刻他不是一个人在战斗，他不是一个人！

 

伟大的意大利的左后卫！马尔蒂尼今天生日快乐！意大利万岁！

 

这个胜利属于意大利，属于卡纳瓦罗，属于布冯，属于马尔蒂尼，属于所有热爱意大利足球的人！’

 

黄健翔有争议的解说，让所有人都彻底明白足球是圆的，它，令人刺激。

我有回去的理由，我有疯狂的理由，

可我，

却只有在这里，静静地，看着意大利和他们的左后卫们进入决赛。

期待，意大利夺冠！

期待，我的回归！
