我的天

Someone is a cat person, but I’m not, I am a dog one.

Every time, when I look through the windows, and found dogs were playing far away, innocent playing, without any pressure, just as their natural, I would feel very happy, and then, can’t help shouting “BB~~~”. Of course, as you know, they would look around, try to find who was calling them. They searched here and there, then looked upwards, focused on me, they began dancing, just like Marley’s manbo, but in their own styles. Little kids shaked their tails happily, I would smile. They could pass their optimism to me from a bark, an eye or an simple movement.

Humans are not things, others are everything! We human being are always thinking too much, lover, money, assets… Why not just as the instinct lead us to…

Here is their simple happy life:

If there are food in the plate, why you still look round everywhere, just enjoy it.

Playing is the best.

Fight, fight, fight. We win, because we know teamwork.

I’m your mother, you must listen to me.

Hi, I am a shily beauty girl. I am super handsome, don’t you think so. If love me, just give me more food, I don’t like body contact especailly with human.

Amazing，do you know what I have done? I finished 2 huge translations yesterday, it’s more than 8000 Words!!!! Great! What a good job! The most exciting thing was I got it in less than 4.5 hours! A great day, isn’t it? Can’t help writing this :) I even don’t know where the passion came from, but it really existed, so, what can I say, happy? Wonderful? Excellent!

同样伟大的还有GA编剧中一叫Krista的，是她首先创造了奇迹，然后我才有了机会，谁叫她老是把blog写得老长老长，于是，每次见到她的名字出现在标题处我就开始流汗了。其实翻译的是GA S06E0102和S06E03的编剧blog。学乖了，不懂的句子跳过，大概飞了1-2句吧，实在不知所云，问了G老师依然云里雾里，所以，我就不误导众生了。看编剧的blog越多，就越觉得和他们熟络，他们当中真有很多是大妈，非常多是刚生孩子，或孩子只有1-2岁的类型。然后觉得主编Shonda大妈有点Chief老婆Adele的作风，有时我甚至把她俩等同了。每天都是晚上做翻译，用一个晚上潜心去做，越来越觉得那不是个“活儿”了，呵呵，前提是我已经存有了非常多的“弹药”（xrspook：怎么理解“弹药”这个词呢？从前[几年前]我都是翻译完一篇就迫不及待地去发布，因为当时的场所是自己的blog，无所谓；但现在是论坛，出于一点功利心理，即便我已经完成了很我也得慢慢去发，一天1篇，最多2篇，为的就是让帖子尽可能留在高处，很坏，对不？做这么邪恶的事我也有点于心不忍，但只有那样才会有更多人随便点进去看看编剧的意图啊！尽管用心良苦，但若要把xrspook当作坏人就尽管那么做吧。还有一点就是我希望细水长流，洪水般地发布会让译者失去动力，好不容易弄出来的作品刷的就全卖掉了，如果恰巧又回复，会很伤心的，人家还会以为我在捣乱呢，所以我要制造“弹药”，然后存起来，一天发一个）。

一直觉得自己若认真做事是不会被骚扰到的，但原来并不完全正确。昨晚在翻译的时候碰巧同办公室的同事在非常兴奋地用我听不懂的语言讲电话，我觉得自己有点神游了，不能focus，句子看在眼里，脑子却一片空白，一定是从左眼进去右眼溜走了。所以，原来自己没有自己想的那么神。

No matter what, you have read / you want to read or not, that’s awesome to me. In fact, I didn’t / don’t / won’t care how you think about it. Just be myself, that’s all. Thanks for reading this maybe boring blog.

PS：If you have time, you could read them bit by bit, believe me, don’t read them all together, or you will feel…

Again and again, still the same. Who am I? What am I doing now? What kinds of person I am? Forget weekends, and then forget all the people except workmates! I am a person with some problem, which could not solve by me. I have no choice. And have lost control, I just a puppet… Didn’t work for money, didn’t work for dream, didn’t work for someone, and what did I work for? I don’t know.

We are social person, not machine.

Be humanistic, could they? At least I think working are not everything in life, and thousand of million of billion money is not the only target of everyone.

Forget it, forgive me, do something, for the people who have lose in working…

In Craig David‘s album The Story Goes has a song, called Johnny. It’s talking about the story of a boy got punch near school; however, he could not do anything such as escape or protect himself, instead of feeling every blow. He’s afraid to tell others that will make things worse, even though he has tried to speak out his story but no one listened, so the hitting repeat again and again. What a pity!

It has such a word in its lyric (photo above) – catch-22. Do you know the meaning of that? It’s a slang from Joseph Heller’s famous literature Catch-22 (《第二十二条军规》). Now I am reading his book CATCH AS CATCH CAN (中文的，《得过且过》，浙江文艺出版社), so I understand it as it happens. I’m trying my best to understand the black humor of this great writer; unfortunately, there’s no consciousness till now.

Return to the word catch-22, it has been collected by many English Dictionary. Now, I show two quotes of them:

When I heard the music for the first time I could not clearly understand what he was singing, because Craig David sang: caught ina catch 22 but he’d still rather be at home. In and A was sung together [i-nʌ], oh~~~ Liaison made me crazy all the time, no matter in English or in Spanish, of course, it’s more terrible in the later. If you don’t know what the meaning of catch-22 is, how you could believe there really is such word in there.

After this essay, hope you could understand it better just as which I did a few days ago.

Planning for more than a month, today, I finally went to Wrigley Company in Guangzhou Development District. After the quit of friend, I had to start my road alone. There’s nothing in my head, didn’t expect anything, yet I received an accidental courage, it was come from mom. Today should be better than yesterday, and it is really better than that.

At the very beginning, I spent about two hour on my way to that place. The traffic was still OK today, I got on Bus 883 as planning, and then I should pass 36 bus-stops before I arrived at Wrigley Company. People are up and down, came and went, I still sit at the end of the bus continue my journey. When the broadcast said the next stop is the crossing of development district, I knew the termination of this trip was coming. After a few stop, it broadcast a stop named hospital of development district, yet when the bus started moving again, I picked up the Wrigley Company! What a pity, I missed it!!! Have no choice but got off the bus and went back by foot. You won’t lose yourself there, because the candy scent of Wrigley Company is very strong, first I smelled mint aroma then peach aroma. When you feel the scent becomes stronger and stronger, it means you are close to that company step by step.

Then the entrance of that company was funny too. I misknew one man was the one I contract, and stopped by the guard. I explained who I wanted to find then register. It’s very nice of that guard. Waiting for a while, a miss came to let me in. We went to the reception then that miss asked a female worker be my guide. The visit started, great!!!

Before enter to workshop, I had to put on white gown, headgear, earplug, and shoe cover, at the same time I had to take of my watch. Everything was standby, but I still had to wash and sterilize my hands before entrance workshop.

The workshop is amazing, with a great smell of candy. The first producing line I saw was producing Doublemint, undoubtedly, the scent of mint was fiercely, and my eyes even feel that strong mint.

The detail things I couldn’t speak out or I might leak the commercial secrets, yet as much as I know I couldn’t count the most important secrets absolutely.

At first, let me talk about the machines there. Most of the machines weren’t very large, but the quantity is vast, because they were making chewing gum, that thing couldn’t be very large. Of course, they also have huge tins to mix their raw material, such as glucose and chewing gum bases.

Then, it’s the turn of workers there. Most of workers are young men; they control a machine by themselves. The only female worker I just saw they were adding preservatives in little bottles of Extra. Before I came here, I heard there were not many workers in this workshop, yet compared with the food corporation I had visited, the amount of worker here is not the least. The most important reason is the producing line here isn’t huge, and the manipulative cell isn’t joined with pipe. For example, after making big pieces of Doublemint, they stored them in one place which is between the pieces producing workshop and the cutting and packing workshop. Another example, they make grains of Extra chewing gum in a big roller, yet they have to bag those particles in plastic pails.

Thirdly, I talk about the sign in those workshops. I could see the sign very clear about what’s input and output of one machine. Simultaneously, on wall of workshop I found the solution of their HACCP, the introduction of their products and where they will sell to. The deepest sign memory is come from the ground. They use different colors to divided area into what’s for walking and car driving (I mean electric flat car). If you walk in driving road, it just like you blocks in highway, meant low down others’ work efficiency and risk yourself. That’s the law of company, everybody should obey seriously.

This visiting let me remember a word of Dr. Ye, he said the undergraduate went to factory would look around everywhere, and asked plenty of questions, just like a mouse. I represented a little mouse today :)

Today, I went to kingdom of chewing gum, what I have brought back? A good memory and the scent of candy. The aroma of candy penetrates into my clothes just like the people of Wrigley give me keepsake showing I have got the paradise of chewing gum.
