#雪梨中國城唐人街
全雪梨最有過年氣氛的應該就是這裡了吧!
走進這條張燈結彩熱鬧滾滾的步行街,一瞬間感覺好像回到了台灣🥺
不一樣的是,你會一下聽到右邊傳來英文的吆喝叫賣聲,一下聽到左邊傳來中文的討價還價對話,還有你聽不懂的幾哩咕嚕語像環繞音效一樣如影隨形
抬頭一看,各色人種捧著珍珠奶茶、坐在街邊夾弄者蒸餃、排隊買甘蔗汁、心平氣和的咬一口臭豆腐、手上捧著吃完的烤串竹籤,突然覺得整個畫面⋯又滑稽又和諧😂😂
這裡真的完美演繹了「四海一家」的精髓呀😉
#雪梨過年 #初一走春
同時也有1部Youtube影片,追蹤數超過1萬的網紅kimbiestyle,也在其Youtube影片中提到,做了這麼多天的vlog 終於迎來了英文演講比賽啦啦啦 遇到超級多的大神!! 自己也成長了好多~ 這周真的忙翻了!!! 週六日更加的精彩 大家敬請期待❤️...
步行街英文 在 無國界·旅行·故事Travel Savvy Facebook 的精選貼文
【哈瓦那·古巴】English after Mandarin
義大利藝術評論家Philippe Daverio說「真正藝術包括不同方位的解讀」,需要具有「模擬兩可性或是不可捉摸性」。我覺得哈瓦那就是這樣一個獨特的城市。作為一個真正的藝術城市,哈瓦那真實體現了那種不可捉摸的面向。
Philippe Daverio, an Italian art critic, says real art includes interpretations from different perspectives and should be ambiguous or unpredictable. I think Havana, as a true city of art, genuinely reflects that unpredictability.
對於古巴的第一印象來自於社會主義風格的哈瓦那機場。外觀有棱有角,活像是隨時會翻身戰鬥的變形金剛。這點又跟注重建築與環境與人文呼應的新未來主義建築不謀而合,就像Zaha Hadid在廣州建造的那兩隻蟾蜍劇院一樣。這麽多的想像與那種所謂的藝術的模擬兩可性恰恰重合。
My first impression of Cuba came from the Havana airport with that strong socialistic flavor. The angular exterior of the terminal looks exactly like one of those Transformer robots who might spring to life and battle at any second. This coincides with the concept of neo-futurism buildings which stresses the link between buildings and their surroundings. A great example is the angular toad-like Guangzhou Opera House. All that imagination accords with the so-called ambiguity of art.
內部紅色的證照查驗關讓人感覺熱情卻又搭配共產主義的不協調。飛機上座位旁邊的古巴先生嘴裡不時哼著歌曲,機場接駁車和接機計程車上也有動感音樂。我感到困惑。
Inside the terminal is the red immigration cubicles with that yellow tint, which gives a sense of incongruity combining passion with seemingly cold communism. That reminds me of the Cuban guy next to me on the plane who was humming songs all the time. Music can also be found on the boarding gate shuttle as well as the taxi I rode to downtown Havana. I was perplexed.
我問接機的司機英文哪學來的。他說學校裡的外來語文教育中有英文的選項,但不是很受重視。司機又說歐巴馬時代古巴開始轉型經濟準備起飛。可惜目前川普打壓古巴,連房地產都低迷。從路上年輕一代的新潮穿著,我感覺到古巴已不再是舊時代的古巴了。對於古巴一切都還在摸索中。
I asked the cab driver where he learned his English. He replied that English was one of the foreign language options in school, but English was not considered important. He then started to talked about how Obama helped boost Cuba’s economy with the loosened US-Cuban tension. It was unfortunate since Trump swore in and everything had been beaten down including the travel and real estate industries. I could still spot the change from young people’s fashionable outfits. It felt like Cuba was not the old Cuba that I learned from the travel guide. Everything about Cuba was yet to be explored.
哈瓦那絕不是說英文天堂。從找住宿開始,我那卑微的西班牙文就被迫徹徹底底地運轉起來。還好事先下載了估狗翻譯裡的西文選項,加上我確實請過家教老師學習基礎西文發音,這樣勉強能與當地人溝通一下。我也懷疑憑我這樣三腳貓的西文能有什麼本事去解讀這樣一個謎一般的國度?
By all means, Havana is no heaven for English speakers. From the moment I decided to find a casa/guest house on my own, my puny Spanish vocabulary was forced to work hard. (Yeah, I only know about a couple of hundred words. Shame on me!) The good thing is that I downloaded Spanish on my Google Translate in advance. Plus I hired a private tutor to learn Spanish phonics. I somehow managed to communicate with the locals. Sometimes, I doubted how I was going to open up this mysterious nation with my lousy Spanish.
入住後第一件事情就是憑著以往旅行經驗慣例出門找超市。哪知那樣的作法在這特立獨行的國度完全不適用。在哈瓦那舊城區(Habana Vieja)的民宅區裡沒有所謂的招牌。這意味著一個社區中大多數人彼此相互認識,才能知道誰家在哪裡提供什麼樣的服務。可憐如我,為了找瓶裝水,在附近用破爛的西文「Donde esta el agua」問路。經過三個人指了不同的方向後,終於找到一位熱心的先生直接帶我去一個不起眼的窗口買水。饒是這樣我也花了將近30分鐘才順利取得珍貴的飲用水資源。
The first thing I did after I checked into a casa was to follow my routine as a traveler and find a supermarket. Who would have known that this idea completely did not work here. In some residential areas of Old Havana, shop signs simply do not exist. This probably means most people in the community know each other, and thus are aware of where to go to find services they need without shop signs. That translated into my predicament as I tried to find some bottled water in the neighborhood. I literally asked for directions with my broken Spanish, Donde esta el agua? Following three kind passersby’s help in three different directions, I found a nice guy who took me to an inconspicuous window where I finally obtained two very precious bottles of water, which took me 30 minutes for this entire water-getting process.
在找水的途中我看到了麵包店只批量生產吐司和小圓麵包、窄門裡只賣菸和酒的店家、有簡單桌椅的餐廳,以及一目了然的理髮店。這一切都沒有資本主義的招牌來包裝社區的基本運作。也因為對於這裡的無知,我將注意力集中在斑駁街道與頹傾樓房之間發出的聲響上。鍋裡油炸的聲音、收音機裡的音樂、雞啼、車子裡的動感貝斯、路人跟我說hola、先生親吻太太臉頰打波的聲響、吉娃娃的嗷叫,以及路人在街頭講公共電話的聲音—我走在街道的中央聆聽哈瓦那的脈動。當然我所在的這條街絕對不會是觀光客川流不息的Obispo步行街。總之,這裡的許多事物顛覆了我對一個城市的認知。
En route to finding water, I saw a bakery producing only toast and rolls in batch, a shop selling only cigarettes and liquors, a restaurant with simple tables and chairs, and a barbershop that you can see it all at a glance. Everything here ran basically without the packaging of capitalistic shop signs. Because of my ignorance of Cuba, I started to shift my attention to the sounds made between the mottled streets and faded buildings. Deep frying noises from a pan, music from the radio, a rooster’s crowing, pounding bass from a car stereo, hola from a passerby, smackers from a husband to his wife, a chihuahua’s barking, and someone talking on a public phone—I was walking in the middle of a small street listening to the heart beats of Old Havana. Where I was standing is surely not the tourist-flooded Obispo pedestrian zone. Regardless, my perception about what a city ought to be was totally overthrown by the things I experienced initially.
對於古巴的第一印象是新奇且難以用一般邏輯去理解的。我覺得接下來的旅程我應該放下對於一個國家既定的預期。也許這樣才能領會只屬於古巴的不可捉摸的藝術。
My first impression about Cuba was novel yet hard to understand with the common sense. I felt I needed to let go of my expectations for the country. Perhaps, that way I could grasp a touch of the unpredictable art that only belongs to Cuba.

步行街英文 在 盧小蜜。emily Facebook 的最讚貼文
從牧戶開了約莫三小時的車,來到「滿洲里」
車一進城,超驚人的!彷彿來到失落的黃金城🤩
整座城市的建築全都打上黃燈,好閃耀✨
好像是為了2020冬季運動會,政府出錢裝的
滿洲里北接俄羅斯,所以這裡充滿俄羅斯風情
除了有許多俄羅斯人,連建築都很有風味
其實我們覺得搭配上這天氣,好像歐洲😆
-
來到滿洲里肚子餓死了,吃了幾天草原大肉
我們今天決定吃個「俄式料理」!
小哥推薦這家「盧布里」,說是點評第一名
平常都大排長龍的~我們很幸運小排一下就有位
裡面裝潢的很漂亮,妙的是,裡頭也有俄羅斯員工
重點⋯我們完全無法溝通🤪他們不會中文也不會英文
所以點餐還是由中國人來進行
這裡吃的就是西餐,但有混合烤肉串,大串的那種
我們太餓點了一個太多,大家整個吃到吃不下😂
結果又吃了一堆肉,只是是西式的🤣
這樣吃下來八個人台幣約6300,一個人不到800
#內蒙吃飯很物超所值
是說,一進門看到一個俄羅斯女表演者
晶姐馬上拉著我說要跟她拍照,然後拍完,還偷偷跟我說
「馬麻,為什麼外國女生都這麼漂亮啊⋯」
笑死我,她超愛金髮碧眼人,就是崇洋媚外無誤🤣
-
吃太飽我們決定在步行街走一走,不然太撐
我們住的飯店很讚,百年的俄式飯店,地點超好
樓下就是最熱鬧的步行街~逛逛買買
這裡買東西一定要殺價,但殺價就是個技能啊⋯
胖子說:殺價是個樂趣,還價是個藝術
對我這種不會殺價的人來說,只有無限尷尬🤣
-
話說,內蒙真的到處都在賣奶貝、牛奶條
超好吃,吃了會上癮,我又買好幾包😍
社團連線中,想一起吃的快去加,好香好濃
#待在草原幾天突然覺得回到城市怪怪的
#好衝突的感覺
=====================================
我也會在這裡出現喔!神出鬼沒😆
