Joe: Where are you going?
Meg: Going? Nowhere.
Joe: You must be expecting someone then.
Meg: I?
Joe: Yes, you. Are you expecting that man?
Meg: I don’t know what you are talking about, if you mean Mr. Brook.
Joe: He’s the only one who comes here. I hope you don’t think you are in love with him because I can tell you that you are not.
Meg: I'm not?
Joe: No! You can’t be! Now, you see, Meg. I'm a writer, and I write about girls who are in love, so I know, you have none of the symptoms. You eat all right, you sleep like a log, you do not twiddle your course, you don’t mope in corners. Therefore, you are not in love. Therefore, don’t go and marry that man.
Meg: I don’t intend to go and marry any man.
Joe: You don’t? Hurrah! For you! You are a champ. And what will you say when he comes around begging for your hand.
Meg: Well, of course, he may not come round. But if he does, I should say quite calmly and decidedly, “Thank you, Mr. Brook, you are very kind. But I quite agree with Mummy that I’m too young to enter into any engagement at present. So please say no more, but let’s be friends as we were.”
Joe: Good! That’s stiff and cool enough. And then when you hand him the mitten, things will be the way they were around here.
(The door bell rings.)
Joe: It’s him. I’ll get out of the way and don’t forget! Oh, if only I could see his face when you tell him.

English to Chinese: HEAR WHY EVERYONE’S RAVING ABOUT HIM
Source text - English HEAR WHY EVERYONE’S RAVING ABOUT HIM
Melbourne Symphony Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor designate, Vladimir Ashkenazy, returns to Melbourne after last year’s sell-out concerts for the Melbourne Symphony’s third composer festival of 2007, the Rachmaninov Festival.
For just over 2 weeks in November, audiences will get to hear why Maestro Ashkenazy is considered one of the world’s foremost interpreters of Rachmaninov’s music and why critics have described his Rachmaninov performances as “magnificent and fiery”
Maestro Ashkenazy has been associated with Rachmaninov’s music all his life, from his early years as a piano student in Moscow to his intuitive performances and recordings as a conductor and pianist.
He commented in an interview for Andante Magazine: “Any time is a good time to revisit Rachmaninov. He was a great composer with tremendous inventiveness and substantial validity. The idea of a festival is to celebrate the great achievement of a great composer, and to give him his due.”
“My passion for Rachmaninov started as long ago as I can remember. Somewhere deep inside me there is a certain subliminal feeling that Rachmaninov's music is a nutshell of the most elemental characteristics of the Russian soul. His music takes me by the throat and heart," said Ashkenazy.
Rachmaninov’s life would be the perfect subject for a glamourous black and white movie. Born during the last flowering of Imperial Russia but ending his days as a celebrity in Beverley Hills, Rachmaninov was the greatest pianist of his age and a composer of genius.
Overcoming strife, both personal and political, Rachmaninov became one of the most famous musicians of the 20th century and now, the charisma he had on the concert stage lives on in his stunning symphonies and concertos with their soaring lyrical melodies and evocative colours.
Over nine performances, the Melbourne Symphony and Maestro Ashkenazy will take audiences on a journey through Rachmaninov’s major orchestral works including his three symphonies and three of his piano concertos, pieces which have been dubbed some of the most opulentand and unabashedly romantic music ever penned.

THE CITY
FLORENCE, CENTRE OF ART AND CULTURE SURROUNDED BY THE BEAUTIFUL SUNNY COUNTRYSIDE.
Founded in the first century BC, Florentia – this was the name given by the Romans, from the word “florid”- was first erected as a Roman “castrum” and soon assumed the appearance of a real town. In the thirteenth century it began to flourish as a city of art, culture and international trading, but it reached its zenith in the fifteenth century under the Signoria of Lorenzo de' Medici, “the Magnificent”, who was an astute politician and a patron of the arts and literature.
After Lorenzo’s death in 1492, Florence witnessed a period of change which saw the birth of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, the first state in the world to abolish the death penalty in 1786. After the political unification of the country, Florence was capital of Italy from 1865 to 1871.
Florence was also the birthplace of the Renaissance period and the heart of literature and the fine arts. It is famous worldwide for the sculpture of David by Michelangelo at the Gallery of the Accademia, the Uffizi Gallery, the romantic Ponte Vecchio and Giotto’s bell tower. Florence is also represented by the great genius of Dante Alighieri, the supreme poet who wrote the "Divina Commedia", and by Leonardo da Vinci, who was one of the greatest minds of the Renaissance.
Florence has an ancient tradition of craftwork: sculptors, leather goods makers, blacksmiths and goldsmiths. The powerful Corporazione delle Arti, controlling each craft, operated according to strict rules and only the legitimate children of a member could join the profession. In this way, art and techniques have been handed down through the generations to the present day.
South of Florence, within the picturesque Arno valley, the Valdarno, with its numerous fascinating small villages lies The Mall.
Famous people were born or lived in the Valdarno: Francesco Petrarca, Italian poet and humanist, the humanist and philosopher Marsilio Ficino, and the great renaissance painter Masaccio - born in San Giovanni Valdarno - who has a museum, the Masaccio Museum of Sacred Art, dedicated to him in the town of Reggello.
The area is also full of historical-artistic treasures, such as the Vallombrosa monastery, the Parish church of Pitiana, the Sammezzano castle and the churches of S. Pietro in Cascia and S. Margherita in Cancelli. The territory of Reggello is of great scenic and environmental interest: Mount Secchieta, the Vallombrosa forest and the picturesque “Balze” cliffs are necessary visits for hikers.

RECIPES

Ribollita, traditional Tuscan bread and vegetable soup
Ingredients for 6/8 persons
4 tablespoons olive oil,
1 red onion, chopped,
1 leek, white part only, chopped,
1 garlic clove, chopped,
4 carrots, sliced,
4 courgettes, sliced,
One-quarter Savoy cabbage, shredded and chopped,
1 bunch of cavolo nero,
1 small bunch celery, shredded and chopped,
4 potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes,
1 cup green beans, cut into bite-size pieces,
2 cups of Tuscan cannellini beans
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt or kosher salt,
4 tablespoons tomato paste,
½ kg stale Italian bread, sliced.
Soak the cannellini beans overnight and then cook over a low heat for 1 to 1½ hours. Purée half of the beans.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot and fry the onion and leek together over a low heat until browned. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add all the remaining vegetables. Season with sea salt and stir to mix in the onions and leeks evenly. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the vegetables have reduced in volume by half. Stir again and cover with water to the top of the pot. The more water you add, the more broth you will have with the soup. Bring to the boil and then lower the heat. Add all of the cannellini beans, then add the tomato paste and stir to dissolve.
Cover and cook the soup for 1 hour. Add the stale bread and leave overnight.
The day after reheat, or “re-boil” the soup (Ribollita means re-boiled in Italian), stirring well to break up the bread slices. The soup should be thick enough to eat with a fork! Serve with the traditional drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top.
Tagliata con rucola e parmigiano, slices of beef steak with rocket and parmesan cheese
For this dish, in Tuscany, steaks are used from the famous white Chianina cattle, native to this region and greatly prized for their deliciously tender and flavoursome meat. To replicate this, you will need to buy the very best T-bone steak you can find and have your butcher cut the steaks quite thick and weighing around 400-500 grams each (or 1 pound) to serve two people. Take the meat out of the refrigerator about two hours before cooking.
T-Bone steaks, one large steak for each two people.
Extra virgin olive oil
Fresh wild rocket (rucola), about ½ cup per person.
Parmigiano cheese, approx 20g per person
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped rosemary.
Heat a stove-top grill or bring the wood-fired grill or barbeque to the “glowing embers” stage. Do not cook while flames are still high. Seal the steaks at high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, then remove to lower heat and continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes for medium rare. The meat should be well-browned (not burnt) on the outside, but still pink and juicy inside.
Transfer steaks to cutting board and leave to “rest” for a minute while you prepare the plates. Place a small pile of fresh rocket on each warmed plate and pare fine slices of the Parmigiano with a cheese plane or vegetable peeler. Slice the meat across the grain into slices (1-1,5 cm thick) and arrange slices of meat on top of each pile of rocket with a few shavings of Parmigiano. Serve immediately, dressed with chopped rosemary, freshly ground sea salt and black pepper. A delicious and very traditional addition would be a generous drizzle of the best extra virgin olive oil you have. The best meat also deserves a great red wine – we would suggest a rich Chianti Classico Riserva or one of the fantastic “Super Tuscans”.
Rose chick-peas soup with fresh local olive oil
Ingredients for 6/8 persons
8 tablespoons olive oil,
1 onion, chopped,
1 garlic clove, chopped,
1 carrot, sliced
several leaves of sage, chopped
2 sticks of celery, sliced,
2 cups Reggello rose chick-peas
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt or kosher salt,
1 kg Tuscan bread, sliced and toasted
Put the Reggello rose chick-peas in lukewarm water and soak overnight.
Then boil together with the salt, garlic, carrots, celery and sage for 2-3 hours over a low flame.
Remove from the heat and separate the chick-peas from the rest.
Mash half of the chick-peas together with the chopped onions and celery.
Mix together all of the chick-peas and serve with two slices of toasted Tuscan bread, adding fresh local olive oil and freshly ground black pepper to finish.

Florence（佛罗伦萨）建于公元前1世纪，当时罗马人称之为“Florentia”，源于“florid”这个词。最初，Florence（佛罗伦萨）是作为古罗马兵营而建立的，但很快就以真正的城市面貌出现了。 到13世纪的时候，Florence（佛罗伦萨）日益繁荣，逐渐成为一个因艺术、文化和国际贸易而闻名的城市。然而，15世纪才是Florence（佛罗伦萨）的繁荣到达顶峰的时候。当时，这座城市由伟大的Lorenzo de' Medici先生掌管，此人不仅是精明的政治家，而且还是艺术和文学的赞助人。
Florence（佛罗伦萨）也是文艺复兴的发源地，并且还是文学和美术的中心。 该城市闻名于世的有Accademia 美术馆的Michelangelo（米开朗基罗）的大卫雕像、Uffizi美术馆、浪漫的Ponte Vecchio（旧桥）以及Giotto’s bell tower（乔托钟楼）。 Florence（佛罗伦萨）还有创作了《神曲》的伟大天才诗人Dante Alighieri（但丁）以及文艺复兴的巨匠Leonardo da Vinci（莱昂纳多•达•芬奇）。
Florence（佛罗伦萨）具有悠久的手工艺传统， 这里有雕刻家、皮革商品制造者、铁匠和金匠等。 势力强大的Corporazione delle Arti（行会）控制着每一个行业。每个行业的行规都非常严格，只有行会会员的合法子女才能入行。 这样，艺术和技术代代相传，一直延续到今天。
