很抱歉，這次又讓大家久等了。

就在十一月初，天仙正式告別了無業游民的米蟲生活，重新踏入美語界。不過雖然這次教受的領域不同，性質也跟以往所習慣的兒童美語非常不一樣，但是同樣是英語教學，有很多東西都是共通的。

所以就趁這個月來介紹一下一些天仙以前常去取經的兒美老師的blog。不過，兒美老師很多都很優秀，也有很多都有在寫blog分享。天仙不可能一次就介紹完得囉。所以先來看看這次介紹的一些優質兒美老師的blog。看看他們的教學心得分享，以及工作的甘苦談，當然老師們也會分享自己在下課後的生活趣事。

【Did you moji today?】

相信許多美語老師都對Moji不陌生。如果你是兒美老師，你還不認識Moji，那你就遜掉囉！人家可是有出過書的呢！為什麼天仙喜歡Moji的blog？因為Moji的呈現方式很精彩。幾乎每一篇都是以Moji手繪的方式呈現上課過程中以及生活中所發生的趣事。看起文來一點都沒有壓力。而且保證看了一定都會笑呵呵～

【小女孩的祕密花園 Florabread's treasure box】

Flora是一個非常認真的兒美老師。不過天仙有時候覺得他真的太過認真了。如果有看過Flora的教學分享，你一定也會這麼覺得。不過呢，如果你身為學生或是家長，心裡一定會想：要是我[孩子]的老師也像Flora這樣就好囉！為什麼呢？天機不可洩漏。大家去看了『小女孩的祕密花園』就知道了呀！

On this rainy August afternoon, we did not need extravagant furnishing, nor elegant teaware, to relief our exhausted bodies. All we needed, was a simple, plain cup filled with tea, and a bottle of orange juice. Because compared to our tired bodies, our hearts were were more than satisfied.

八月的某日下雨天，我們不需要華麗的裝潢也不需要高貴的茶具。簡簡單單的白色茶杯以及茶盤，和一瓶柳橙汁，就足以滿足我們疲倦的身體。但是身體上的疲憊，比起心理上的滿足，簡直微不足道。

因為這一天，我們坐在大文豪莎士比亞出生的小木屋外，細細品嚐這趟旅程到目前為止的收穫，並期待著，下一個要探索的地點。

Because we were sat right across from where 'the poet of all ages' was born. We sipped our drinks, while savoring what we had seen so far, and also filled with excitement with the things we were about to see.

The first place to visit on our second day itinerary, was Anne Hathaway's Cottage. We departed after we enjoyed a lovely breakfast prepared by Pascal. From the maps and Pascal's word, it would take about 5-6 minutes to walk from the B&B to our destination. If you like walking while you travel, you would probably understand, that when you have no idea where the destination is, even a few minutes walk would seem like a couple of hours.

We had been very lucky on our frist day. There was barely any rain. This second day was a little different, though. There were two reasons that made the walk seem extra long: 1. we had all our belongings with us, as I came up with this brilliant idea in order to save us a trip back to the B&B before boarding the train back; 2. it had started to rain since we got up. Although Stratford-upon-Avon in the rain seemed just as pleasant and enjoyable, it did affect one's journey, especially when there were hardly any shelter along the way.

When we were half way there, we saw a cottage, and mistook that as the cottage. I know we must have seen pictures of the cottage more than a dozen times, but this just shows you how desperate we were to get to it.

安排在第二天的第一項行程，我與友人在吃完B&B主人Pascal精心準備的早餐之後就步行出發。依照觀光地圖以及Pascal口述，步行距離約五、六分即可抵達。不過喜歡走路冒險的人應該會很清楚，當你不知道目的地在哪裡的時候，即使只是幾分鐘，走起來也會感覺像是一兩個小時。

我們第一天很幸運，雖然天陰陰的，但是一滴雨都沒淋到。不過這第二天就不同了。路程走起來感覺特別遠的原因有兩個：一、我們將這兩天的行李（背包）扛著，打算這天行程走完直接去車站就不用回B&B。二、一大清早就開始飄雨。雖然雨中的Stratford-upon-Avon更有英國鄉村的特色，但是當你必須步行，沿路上也都沒有可以遮雨的地方時，的確還是希望沒在下雨的好。

莎士比亞出生地
Shakespeare's Birthplace

This is the birthplace of the poet of all times. My friend and I came here on the first day to get our five-house tickets. Initially, I thought it would be better to save it until the next day, so we would have more time to see the place in detail. However, once we got our tickets, the people that worked there ushered us in, and assured us that we had enough time until it closed. So, in we went.

這就是一代文豪所出世的小屋。我與友人第一天就來到這，原本只是為了索取我們之前線上所訂的套票。我原以為等到第二天時間較充裕會逛的比較仔細。沒想到工作人員在遞票給我們之後，馬上就叫我們直接進去。並且告訴我們當天到關門時間之前絕對有足夠的時間可以參觀完。所以我們就進去囉。

Firstly, you will se a short introductory film about Shakespeare. You will learn a lot about the poet and his times. Then, once you walk through the doors, you learn even more about Elizabethan history.

Holy Trinity Church

聖三一教堂又被大眾稱之為莎士比亞的教堂，是莎士比亞出生後受洗以及逝世後的埋葬地。就因為這個很簡單的原因，造成了這座教堂成為了來Stratford不可不去的景點之一。

Holy Trinity Church is also more popularly known as Shakespeare's church. It is the church where the poet and playwright was baptised and later buried. Because of this simple reason, Holy Trinity Church has become one of the must-see sights in Stratford.

它是一座英國國教教堂。約於1210年完工。位於Avon湖畔旁，這座教堂多年來成為了英國最多人觀光的教堂之一。同時，它也是Stratford最古老的一棟建築物。

除了劇場表演知名度之外，RSC所出版的莎士比亞全集也是在文學界裡赫赫有名的版本。在台灣RSC版本的莎士比亞全集非常少見。比較常見到的版本為The Riverside Shakespeare，或是The Oxford Shakespeare。不同版本之間的差距可大也可小。非三言兩語既能解釋的清楚。若是買來珍藏，其實RSC的珍藏版屬最有質感的版本。

再來看看RSC還賣了些什麼周邊商品。

Other than their renouned theatrical performances, the RSC is also well-reputed for their excellent editions of complete Shakespeare. In Taiwan, you are not going to see the RSC edition very often. The Riverside Shakespeare and The Oxford Shakespeare are more popular. The differences between the different editions can vary insignificantly to dramatically. It isn't something that can be explained in a few sentences. I will spare you with the details, and tell you only this: if you fancy a Complete Shakespeare for your library, the RSC hardback, is probably your best choice.

Let's see what else there is.

There is no future.

未來不存在。

Upon my arrival to my hometown, Taiwan, I was unhappy. I was unhappy because I kept on dwelling on the thought that the happy life that I had so used to had come to an end. I have no future because I do not have a job, and consequently will be unable to do the things I want to do or get the things I want to get for a while. I had a very limited budget on which I can live. I am unable to relax because I had gotten so used to doing things at my own pace and on my own accord. I reported to no one, was not dependant on anyone, and neither was I responsible for anyone but myself. Spending time with the family is obviously a reward in itself, but I find myself constantly thinking about others, and forgetting myself. 'I want to go out, but I'd better ask because they might have other things planned.' 'I want to eat this, but I'd better ask, because it would seem rude if I didn't.' 'I'd like to relax and not think or do anything for a while, but I'd better start looking for a job soon because...' All these thoughts run across my mind a million times a day. I was never left alone, yet I felt as lonely as I had ever felt, and consequently, the negativity and virulence soon sprouted from the lack of joy.

當我返鄉的那一剎那，我開始變得很不快樂。不快樂的原因是因為我一直回想著已經結束的快樂生活。我沒有未來，因為我目前還是處於無業狀態。沒有工作就沒有資金做自己想要做的事情、買自己想要的物品。現有的資金非常的有限。我也無法完全放鬆，因為我早就習慣了依照自己的步調做事情。我不須向任何人報告、我不需要依賴別人、也不用對任何人負責任。雖然與家人相處的時光是無價的，但我發現我時常顧慮別人卻忘了自我。『我想出門、可是我還是問一下家人有沒有已經安排計畫好了。』『我想吃這個，但我還是問一下大家有沒有也想要吃的不然不禮貌。』『我想要完全放鬆不要想任何關於工作的事情，但是...』種種思緒一整天下來在我腦子裡來回好幾遍。雖然家裡總是有人在，可是我卻感到無比的寂寞。也更因為這樣，使得我無法快樂。少了快樂，當然負面的思緒也就緊接著來。

Then, I managed to take some time off and spent it with myself. I was given a book by a very dear friend, and after perusing only a few pages, I realised what was wrong with me. It was not culture shock that was causing the negativities, neither was it the weather. It was time. I loved what was and think about what will or may be. But I forgot to think about NOW. I've come to realise that the reason why people have enjoyed looking at the photos of me taken in the UK was because I was truly happy there. And the reason why I was truly happy, was because I focused on the NOW. When I was with my friends, I enjoyed the company. When I visited the different cathedrals and churches, I indulged myself in the present moment where I could smell the whole history in the sacred air. Even when I was stressed out from the pressure of meeting deadlines, I was focused on the NOW, where I had to keep writing to get the work done. I rarely thought about the past. I did not think about the future.

因擴展工程暫時關閉的The Swan Theatre。
The Swan Theatre, undergoing redevelopment.

皇家莎士比亞劇團[RSC]是英國最知名的劇團之一。該劇團在1879年四月二十三日於莎士比亞紀念劇場呈現了他們的第一場莎士比亞劇：『無事生非』。目前RSC所經營共四間劇場：The Courtyard、The Swan、Royal Shakespeare和The Other Place。

目前所安排的表演皆安排在The Courtyard Theatre演出。該劇場於2006年七月開幕。是在其餘三間劇場擴張整修期間的臨時劇場。在2010年全新的劇場於原地重新開幕後，The Courtyard Theatre將預計被拆除。雖然若是能在更有歷史性的劇場看表演也不錯，不過能在the Courtyard Theartre成為歷史前在此看一齣戲，何嘗不是一種特別的經驗？

Royal Shakespeare Company is one of the most prestigious theatre companies in Britain. It staged its first production of 'Much Ado about Nothing', on the 23rd of April, 1879 in the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. The RSC currently runs four theatres in Stratford: The Courtyard Theatre, The Swan Theatre, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and the Other Place. Of these four theatres, three of them are temporarily closed for redevelopment.

The performances are now being staged in the Courtyard Theatre, opened in July 2006, as a temporary theatre.Once the redevelopment is complete in 2010, the Courtyard is to be dismantled. Although it would have been nice to get to see the theatres with longer history, I thought it was just as nice to catch a performance before the Courtyard Theatre becomes history.

暫時替代的The Courtyard Theatre。

Why in the world would I be dragged to southern Taiwan within 24 hours of my arrival back home? Two missions await for me to accomplish. The most important mission was to visit my 87 year-old granny whose hometown had been badly hit by the typhoon a couple of months back. Although her house remained in tact, there was no reason to wait any longer to see her. After all, once you reach a certain age, there is nothing more important than having company.

Because I had just gotten off the plane, and although the high speed train had reduced a lot of physical pressure, I was still pretty knackered, and fell asleep on the coach from Kaohsiung to my grandma's. When I opened my eyes once again, I could hardly believe what I was looking at! The once beautiful, peaceful, and scenic countryside road had been completely sabotaged by Marakot.

為什麼才剛下飛機沒多久，就被拖來六龜？其實有兩樣很重要的任務。第一項最重要的任務，當然是探望我一年沒見到的八旬外婆。雖然說早已知道外婆居住的地方未受颱風侵襲，不過既然都回來了，除了打電話，當然還是要親自去一趟！畢竟長輩心裡最想要的不是別的，就只是『陪伴』。

因為才剛下飛機沒多久，雖然做高鐵到高雄已經減輕不少旅行的負擔，但精神上還是會稍稍有點吃力。因此到了高雄轉客運時，[中途車子還壞掉！！]我就睡得像豬一樣。當我眼睛再睜開時，我簡直不敢相信我眼前所見的，就是我曾經那麼熟悉的通往六龜之路！原本山明水秀的順暢道路，竟然一個颱風侵襲就變成這副模樣！

Remember the meal on my flight over to Manchester? (published in this article) It was so delicious that once I'd had a bite, I'd forgot about all the tears I shed over saying farewell to my loved ones. Well, this time, I thought the meal would just be as good. After all, I've always had pleasant experiences with Thai Airways. I mean, what other airline is capable of offering the comfort from my second home other than this one? Well, so I thought.

不知道大家還記不記得新航機餐一文中提到說飛到曼城那趟機餐有多麼好吃。好吃到我才吃一口，就忘了不到半小時前才哭哭啼啼的跟心愛的人告別。這次我以為機餐也會很棒。畢竟以前多次飛過泰航從來沒有過不好的經驗，再說，有什麼比泰航還要更適合這次回程的航空公司呢？不過，事實並非完全如我想像。

Apologies for the blurry-ness, but this was the dinner on the way to Bangkok. This wasn't bad, actually. I really enjoyed the 'garlic and herbs' cheese. But I have to say, this route actually made me feel a little disappointed with the service that they provide. If I had only been on this route, I wouldn't feel confident in recommending it to others, well, not as I used to anyway. The plane was old, but I suppose that has more to do with luck. The service was 'alright' instead of 'great'. That, is something they should improve.

在上一篇『新四川』提到因為有了那次的聚餐，才會讓我想到要再安排一次。其實原因很簡單，因為煮出來兩份泰式料理都被我室友稱讚不已。而今年這群朋友聚餐好像還沒吃過泰國菜。當然就想趁離開前辦一次。不過其實原本看中的是一加新開的。風評非常的好。怪就怪我拖太久。等到人數確定後要定位，他們竟然跟我說『客滿了喔！』所以只好再上網找另外一家。不過這幾家我都沒吃過，很怕帶大家採到一顆大地雷。還好夜晚結束後大家都對當晚的餐點還滿意。我也終於鬆了一口氣。

In my last article, which was published only in Chinese, I mentioned that the meal was the inspiration for me to organise another dinner. The reason was simple: my flatmate loved the two simple Thai dishes I made, and on top of that, I don't think they have been to a Thai restaurant, yet, this year. So I wanted to make use of the opportunity to devour Thai food and spend quality time together. However, I originally planned on booking a newly opened restaurant. Due to my immense amount of work, plus some delay in confirming the number of people attending, I called only to find out they were fully booked. Therefore I had to make a contingency plan, and hope that the food will be just as good.

點完飲料之後，大家紛紛討論不知道該點什麼好。而我呢，其實也是。因為菜單上的我全部都想吃！最後，我看我室友他也猶豫不決，就問他要不要乾脆一起點『veggie banquet』。所以我室友又被我拖下水跟我一起吃素食套餐啦！

『新四川』，又稱Chilli Chilli，是利物浦知名的中國餐館。名氣大的原因除了菜色之外，當然還有更重要的原因 - 二樓的KTV包廂！早在過農曆年的時候，有一位華裔朋友就邀約一群好友相伴來這吃飯唱歌。不巧那天正好有活動，所以錯過了晚餐。但還是趕的上唱歌。對於那次印象挺深刻的。因為西方人眼中的"karaoke"是鬧著玩的。而很不巧的，天仙那天點了一首國語歌，讓全場的外國人拍手叫好，然後驚覺說原來『歌，不是這樣唱低！！』。

不過拉回來今天的重點 - 這天朋友約了再來這兒聚餐。不過上回那位華裔朋友還沒回到利物浦。因此點餐他們得靠自己。原本我在猶豫要不要來，因為正好這天白天我上了整天班。沒一口答應是怕自己累了不想出門。不過下了班之後發現經歷還夠，加上飯還是得吃啊。所以就跟著去。我的好友之前在我還沒決定要不要去之前一直說我一定得去。原因是：只有我會點餐。我回說：不是都有英文的嘛？朋友回說：可是好料都在中文菜單裡啊。這時候我才發現，原來這攤我會被邀請的原因是這樣啊！(誤)

到了之後花了十幾分中研究菜單。他們外國人的習慣是點"banquet"。算人頭的，然後會有很多樣菜。他們覺得這樣吃的比較划算。我與一位肯委屈自己跟我吃兩人素食套餐的友人點完餐之後，發現其他們正紛紛議論。他們轉過頭來問我說"spicy beef"跟"xxxxx fish"怎麼點。我心裡OS說：你這樣說我哪知道是什麼鬼菜啊！後來，其中一個人打了電話給那位華裔朋友。不過事情竟展的並不順利。我耳中隱約聽見那位拿著電話的義大利大哥正要問："How do you say that in Chinese?"時，我就知道，他們若是想要點正確的餐點，我就一定得出馬啦。電話搶來之後，兩分鐘內就把事情搞定。不過為了確認菜名，我還是跑去櫃台翻了一下menu。果然找到不一樣的菜單！當然也在中文菜單裡找到他們想要點的兩個餐點：『麻辣牛肉干』和『脆皮魚』。

這是我們素食套餐的酸辣湯。

這間就是利物浦球隊副隊長卡拉格開的餐廳[分店]。卡拉格開的這間餐廳主旨是為了讓一家人能夠有個輕鬆看各類球賽的休閒餐廳。這間express算是比較小的分店。位於利物浦市中心的Liverpool 1。距離就在LFC Superstore不遠處。這天，天仙帶了兩個利物浦球迷來到這兒用餐。幸好兩位朋友心中有想來這間餐廳用餐的念頭。因為每次只要有朋友來，天仙最懊惱的地方就是不知道該帶去哪裡用餐才好呢。

This is Jamie Carragher's restaurant. He is the vice-captain of Liverpool Football Club. The theme of the restaurant is to provide a healthy and clean atmosphere for families to come and watch sports together. It is located in the city centre, in Liverpool 1. It's roughly about a two minute walk from the nearest Superstore, also in Liverpool 1. I brought two LFC fans to come dine here. It was a good thing they had this in mind, as I always have a hard time trying to figure out where to take my friends to dine when they come for a visit.

這就是來過英國必勸敗的Clarks鞋。直到我穿上去的那一剎那，我才了解為什麼大家都會勸我來英國一定要敗一雙回去！因為穿上去，根本就不想再脫下來了。我直到確認自己未來幾週的經費沒有問題之後才敢回去把這雙贖回來。

再贖回來之前，本來還看上了另外一雙馬丁鞋。不過比這雙貴，而且看上的那雙款式可能也沒能像這雙一樣那麼的多元。最後，還是決定買一雙從來沒穿過的Clarks。但到了現場我又開始迷惑，不知道該選紅色還是咖啡色。[因為我黑色鞋子太多了]兩雙換來換去，最後終於還是決定要了這雙。

怎麼樣？還不錯看吧？？

我壓根沒有想到『利物浦記事』還會有第十三篇。不過今天早上為了幫學弟查資料，竟然終於看到了從今年二月就說要刊登的大使profile！就在我的利物浦生活接近尾聲的時候讓我看到這個頁面，心中的感覺真的是沒有任何成語可以形容的。

一開始我覺得『大使』真的只是掛名的。因為可以做的工作真的非常少。不過收到第一份薪水的時候，那種感覺真的很棒。再加上能夠與大家分享自己的申請過程何在這邊的生活體驗，真的是一種很棒的感覺。不過有時候又很心虛，因為自己選的科系再台灣圈裡算非常冷門的。大多數來英國求學的，不是念管理就是念英語教學。對於課程我其實能分少的有限。希望還是有幫的上忙的地方。

現在已經有些新同學已經抵達。也還有幾位即將抵達。有些學弟妹跟我說，上網找到我的blog，看到一些很有用的資訊。心裡聽到真的很開心。因為有時候覺得自己花太多時間在blog，若不做些可以幫助別人的事情，光是貼自己想要貼的圖文好像會很過意不去。不過資訊分享文難度非常高。因為就怕會漏掉什麼沒寫到，也怕一但過時了，花了好久寫出來的長篇大論文就一點用都沒有。當然最怕的就是自己分享到錯誤的訊息。所以聽到這個小站可以讓一些朋友得到有用的資訊，真的是很開心。

我的利物浦留學生活，真的因為有了這個大使的頭銜，顯得更加的多采多姿。去年使用了學校的Meet and Greet服務，讓我一到Manchester機場就得到利物浦學生以及職員的熱情歡迎。今年，我也決定以Meet and Greet來結束我的大使職位，以及我在利物浦的留學生活。

一段夢想的結束，既是另一個夢想的開始。

最後，附上學校官網上的『大使檔案』：

雖然已經來看過兩次球賽了，但是來參加Stadium Tour是我跟好友早在去年的時候就說好要找機會一起來的。後來因為大家各忙各的，也因為已經都來這兒看過球賽了，就漸漸的將此事淡忘。不過因為隨著我們在英國的時間進入了倒數階段，我們又開始計畫早早就說好要一起做的一些事情。當然，對於同樣是利物浦的球迷的我們而言，沒有什麼比來好好參觀Anfield球場，深度的了解Anfield以及球隊歷史還要更重要啦。

My friend and I had already been to Anfield a couple of times, but we'd wanted to do this tour since last year. After a while, we both got busy with God knows what, and because we'd already been to Anfield to watch some games, we'd forgotten about doing this tour for a while. But because our time in Liverpool is running out, we thought we should put forth a plan to do this stadium tour before it's too late. There is nothing more important to us, being both Liverpool FC supporters, than getting to know more about the stadium and the club itself.

這是紀念之前提過的希德堡慘劇的馬賽克做品。

本月介紹的三個格子，天仙將主題命名為『低調攝影師』。因為他們都很喜歡攝影。喜歡用拍照的方式記錄生活中美好的一切。不知道為什麼，總覺得台灣就這麼點大，但看了三位的部落格，你會發現原來台灣還有好多好多地方正在等著你發掘。透過他們的照片以及文字記錄，你真的會發現台灣真的很美好。

而為何稱之為『低調攝影師』呢？這絕對無關人氣。當然是他們散發出來的謙虛態度，讓我覺得沒有比這個更適合他們的稱呼了。不過話雖如此，交流久了你會發現，原來低調的人都是很悶騷的啦！(誤)

來看看本月推薦的『低調攝影師』有誰囉！

【今が人生の花だ】

記得還沒有軌道的時候，想要認識更多格友，就必須透過各家放在側欄的好友連結。忘了最初是從誰家連結到艾小酥家。剛開始很怕跟艾小酥會沒有交集。但是交流一陣子之後發現我們對人生都有著同樣的熱忱。艾小酥對日本文化的熱愛，相同於我對英國文化的熱愛。雖然是不同的文化，但是我們看待許多事物的方式是相同的。也因為如此，我們漸漸的開始也在MSN上對談。也在我離開台灣之前，有榮幸與艾小酥見到一面。至今認識艾小酥究竟多久了，其實已經不可考了耶。[除非你記得你什麼時候離開無名的。因為我認識你沒多久後你就搬家了]如果想要認識不一樣的日本文化，或是想要與艾小酥分享台南的美食美景美物，那『今が人生の花だ』，絕對是不容錯過的優質好格喔！

框框是我在軌道認識的軌友。很低調的框框，對於自己的拍照功力卻是非常的嚴格。或許是我自己不太懂吧！常常我明明就覺得很美的照片，卻被他自己說得好像很糟糕。我很喜歡看框框的圖文分享。因為框框走的是輕鬆風。圖片多於文字。對於壓力大的時候，或是每天因為不想錯過太多好圖文因而有許多格要逛的我來說，每次去框框家都覺得可以輕鬆的看看台灣的美景。其實我很想說也可以偷學一些拍照技巧。但是事實上，你太專業了。我看不懂啦。想要輕鬆看格，就絕對不要錯過框框的格喔！

前一陣子得知某位格友出國渡假，並且在出發前預先設好讓系統自動發文。不過我卻在Facebook看到他將網誌內容貼上。心裡越想越奇怪：他不是出國渡假了嗎？怎麼還有這種閒工夫將網誌一篇一篇的貼到Facebook去更新？後來才發現，原來這個功能根本不用手動！

只要簡單的設定一下，在玩農場/餐城/心裡測驗之餘，仍然可以不用錯過好友發的新文。

首先，先確認有加入『網誌』這個應用程式。

再來，請到『設定』的地方選『應用程式設定』。
