當有趣的同時又有用

yoyo 发表于 2009-04-30 18:28:21

不知不覺看完了《當彩色的聲音嘗起來是甜的》,感覺不枯燥。

枯燥,這大概是很多人對科學的印象,也是大家望而卻步敬而遠之的原因。就如松鼠會多次提到的,它的宗旨是“剝開科學堅硬的外殼”。

于是我有幸嘗到了外殼包裹下的美味。

有一些詞匯顯得跟日常生活有距離,比如政治,比如哲學,比如民主,比如科學。但是正如“男大當婚,女大當嫁”,“三十而立,四十而不惑”這些家喻戶曉的順口溜可以被看作哲學,科學同樣與我們的生活寸步不離。也許國際空間站和黃金大米對我而言無趣了些,但是生男生女,月經,記憶,都是我非常想知道的事情。

科學與藝術正如一枚硬幣的正反面。這句話已經被說爛了,但是,松鼠會的作者們還是讓我不斷體會到這一點。我對科學沒什么堅忍的熱情和執著的追求,當然對藝術也是一樣,正如普羅大眾,很多時候我更愿意想想異性,聊聊廢話。不過,本著人共有之的好奇心,看到一篇有趣的文章,我也會順便讀讀,了解到以前不知道的事情,也會展顏。

我總覺得有趣大概是人世間最重要的事情之一了,但如果過于幼齒也會讓人不寒而栗。這大概是科普不容易把握的度。如果真的抱著一種普度眾生的情懷,我想會讓讀者反感。沒人愿意被當作傻子,無論是否真的傻。唯有平和的分享知識,才更容易引起共鳴吧。正如贈予不同于施舍,一個道理。

松鼠會的作者們明晰要旨。他們的文章或婉婉道來,或層層逼近,或妙趣橫生,或才華橫溢。我不僅僅讀懂了科學,同時還讀懂了人性的柔軟與善良。我非常喜歡劉旸的文章,她應該是網站上那個高產高質的桔子,因為風格很像。沒錯,科普也是講文風的,她的知識,她的邏輯,她的情感,她的細膩,讓我愛慕有加。

所以說,科學與藝術,真的是手心手背呢。一個有情趣的人,明了這二者的息息相通。這個,我找不到合適的詞,就叫它綜合素質吧。

以我一己私欲,非常想看到有關健身美體的文章,這大概是我近來最關心的問題了。低脂肪和低碳水化合物的飲食哪種更好,游泳是否真的能夠燃燒脂肪,局部減肥是否真有成效,蛋白質在什么狀態下轉換為脂肪,短期內的營養不均對身體有什么危害……這其中涉及到有關物理,化學,生物,醫學及交叉學科的眾多知識。減肥這件簡單的事情,便囊括了一大半科學,誰又能說,我們不需要它呢。

剝開科學堅硬的外殼,他們做到了,而我受惠。

找自己

yoyo 发表于 2009-04-25 00:52:57

在萧瑟枯荣的景色中呆得久了,我似已忘记春天的模样。难得连续数日春光明媚,花草树木展露新芽,星星点点的绿色遍布视野,一片繁荣复苏的景象。我心蠢蠢欲动,期待盛夏,火热盛夏。

折磨自己久了,我似已忘记幸福的味道。斤斤计较calorie的摄入和输出,在枯燥的gym挥汗如雨,每个周末离不开alcohol和party,斡旋于一群无趣的人之中。然而这一切真的是我想要的吗,为何我每每有种找不到自己的感觉。

终于自我的觉醒伴随着春天一起来到。我和植物,大概都有一种解冻的感觉。我们被严寒压抑了太久,被冰雪覆盖了太久,现在,是时候苏醒了。

于是我兴高采烈去超市买了一堆垃圾食品。于是我再次无所事事沉溺在家中一整天一整天。于是我忽略了那些所有与人类相处的礼节和伎俩。于是我感受到了久违的,快乐。

这可是零点天黑
三点天亮的Oslo,这可是空气清新风景秀丽的Oslo,这可是有大海有群山有森林有湖水的Oslo,这可是我的Oslo。我,怎能错过。

common people

yoyo 发表于 2009-04-13 21:27:12

BY Pulp

She came from Greece
She had a thirst for knowledge,
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College,
That's where I, caught her eye.

She told me that her dad was loaded,
I said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola."
She said "Fine."
and in thirty seconds time she said,

"I want to live like common people,
I want to do whatever common people do,
I want to sleep with common people,
I want to sleep with common people, like you."
Well what else could I do -
I said "I'll see what I can do."

I took her to a supermarket,
I don't know why
but I had to start it somewhere,
so it started there.

I said pretend you've got no money,
She just laughed and said, "Oh you're so funny."
I said "yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure

you want to live like common people,
you want to see whatever common people see,
you want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people, like me."
But she didn't understand,
she just smiled and held my hand.

Rent a flat above a shop,
cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool,
pretend you never went to school.

But still you'll never get it right,
coz when you're laid in bed at night,
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you call your dad he could stop it all.

You'll never live like common people,
you'll never do whatever common people do,
you'll never fail like common people,
you'll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw,
because there's nothing else to do.

Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along although they're laughing at you
and the stupid things that you do
because you think that poor is cool

Like a dog lying in a corner
they will bite you and never warn you, Look out
they'll tear your insides out
coz everybody hates a tourist

especially one who thinks
it's all such a laugh
yeah and the chip stain's grease
will come out in the bath

You will never understand
how it feels to live your life
with no meaning or control
and with nowhere else to go

You are amazed that they exist
and they burn so bright
while you can only wonder why

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school

But still you'll never get it right
coz when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance and drink and screw
because there's nothing else to do

I wanna live with common people like you
I wanna live with common people like you
I wanna live with common people like you
.....

Jeg tror jeg elsker deg

yoyo 发表于 2009-03-27 17:23:30

早晨起来,发现窗外大雪纷飞。于是我坐在这里,呆呆望着窗外,好久。

二月底的时候,我松一口气,以为忙碌的时间终于过去,三月应该会很轻松。现在三月底,已经预料到四月的样子,虽然所有的课都结束了。

生命不只是上课,不只是打工,不只是party,不只是健身。它是它们,却又不全是。就像那些人儿,他们只是我的一部分,我们交往在可以交往的范围内,有时悲伤,有时欢喜。

我和我的姐姐们,分享着彼此的故事,不假装,不掩饰。这种感情如此美好,让我无比热爱生命。认识新人固然有趣,重新认识旧人更值得回味。

Jeg tror jeg elsker deg. 我想我爱你。

一直没什么可写的。我尽量用最宽容的视角,最慈悲的胸怀,对待这个fucker横行的世界。当然,还有自我认知不足的人。就像一首歌里唱到的,其实都自卑,其实都自欺。

好性情的人,真是凤毛麟角。

越来越觉得,每个人都有自己的局。对于欧洲人,摆脱god和ego的困扰,是件困难的事情,而对于中国人,建立正常的性观念和人际关系,需要更大的智慧和勇气。

如果去想人生的另一种可能,是件残忍的事。

情人节

yoyo 发表于 2009-02-15 03:11:29

情人节便这样灰溜溜得走掉了。在大家都party的时间,我却窝在家里打论文,心情比犯罪更差。

我不喝酒,我不吃饭,听起来很气闷吧。虽然效果明显,但是,真的很憋心哎。

考验意志和折磨自己,有时傻傻分不清楚。

人总是这山望着那山高。现在觉得挪威顶没意思,fall in love with Belgium。

狂欢的那一刻,快点来临吧。
