il Giardino Romantico

或許，這就是你對東海的印象。不過相信生活在東海過的人，對於這個環境會有更多充滿了各種回憶的地方。不知道是否所有曾經身為東海人的朋友們都像天仙一樣，懷念著這個美麗的校園？

This is probably the image that most people have in mind when Tunghai comes to mind.  However, to THU people, there are so many other places filled with various kinds of memories.  I wonder if all THU folks are like me, finding it difficult to forget such a beautiful campus...

'A cup of tea is the solution to every problem.'  This is a quote from 'Doctor Who'.  I had never imagined myself falling in love with English tea.  The person who taught me how to drink tea the English way, was a French girl.  When she came to visit me, she asked me, 'Have you learned to drink tea the English way?'  She told me to add fresh milk and sugar to every cup of tea.  That's the way you're supposed to drink it. 

When you're feeling down, have a cup.  When you're feeling over the moon, that's even more of a reason to have one.  While coffee has become a daily routine, tea has become an enjoyment reserved only for special occassions.

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。

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.

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.

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。

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。

There is no future.

未來不存在。
