Stefan is in town





有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎!

2008年8月30日,大学同窗挚友来自德国的Stefan来访,在我家小住几天。

这是我们大学毕业15年後的第一次见面。
虽然只是短短的数天相聚,但随着大家叙说当年,谈话往事, 所勾起的大学时期那段回忆,如洪流般排山倒海而至, 非常痛快,很是酣畅 ...

本地文人“蔡羽”蔡吉祥说得非常贴切 ,

“人生有这种一辈子难得见几次的朋友真难得 ... ”。

我非常赞同。

有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎, 不亦乐乎也 ...

30th August, 2008, Stefan,a very good friend of mine from Germany came for a visit and put up at my house.

We have not seen each other for more than 15 years after leaving Nottingham and you can imagine how pleased I was despite his short stay ...

Time may change our appearances, but hope it will not dilute our friendship ...

Stefan : “嘿,你变壮了?”
我 : “老兄,讲我胖就不要拐弯抹角啦。”



Stefan : “救命啊!”
鳄鱼:“ (流着泪) 天啊,我的命真苦,日晒雨淋还要应付一个又一个无聊的游客 ... 。”

Stefan : help! help! I am being attacked by a ferocious crocodile.
Crocodile : oh man, not another silly tourist ...
