大鱼吃小鱼 Size, does it matter?

大鱼吃小鱼,现实生活规律,就是那么残忍。

它与“物竞天择,适者生存”,有点不同。因为,体积小者,不见得就会吃亏!

那天与家里的狗狗互动时,不期然拍到了狗狗玩弄它的玩具鱼,而那只鱼又好像张口要衔住附近的一个装水的铁碗,联想起大鱼吃小鱼的画面。


Survival of the fittest, does not mean that size matters. Otherwise, dinosaurs will never have extinct and cockroaches are still roaming out kitchen nowadays.

Survival instinct and skills matter!

一山还有一山高 There will always be a better one...

所谓道高一尺,魔高一丈。这个世界上,高手如云,一山还有一山高。

身处高处或身怀绝技者,若没有虚怀若谷的胸襟,目空一切,给人取代的时候,只是迟早的问题。

当自己高高在上的地位,给他人取代时,最忌讳指控对方作弊。别忘了,世界一直在转动,长江后浪推前浪,所谓的永恒,只是幻影,“破纪录”只是迟早的问题。

最近奥林比克的游泳锦标赛,就出现了中国年轻小飞鱼,游出来一个惊人的速度,而导致西方国家的质疑。有位游泳评论专家更呛声说,这不是人类能达到的创举。

It is vital for us to remember that there will always be others that are more knowledgeable, or more superior than us!

Be humble. 

Don't cast doubt on others' achievement! "Breaking record" is a fact of life. That's how improvement comes about!

女追男隔层纱 It's easy for a girl to get her man!

 

女追男隔层纱,真的是这样吗?

There is a Chinese saying that it is easier for a girl to get a man of her choice - is that so?

垂吊 Hang on there!

它就在那里,不高不低的,垂吊于水面上。几乎沾到水面,与其倒影对视!因为顶上有一片砖瓦遮挡雨水,两旁有墙壁挡风,似乎逃脱了风雨的折磨。



若每个人都有一把保护伞,帮忙遮风挡雨,该多好!

Hang on there. Keep your spirit high. Don't despair.

If there is a shelter to shield us from dangers, it will be wonderful!

榴梿飘香 Durian and its fragrance


榴梿,万果之王。

喜欢它者,会为之疯狂;一闻到榴莲飘香,若钱不够用,会不惜脱裤去当铺赊钱,买几粒榴梿来尝尝, 一享口福。反之,会觉得它味道太过呛鼻难闻,好比粪便!

小时候就听说 - 榴梿是当年郑和南下西洋,在马六甲逗留时,于丛林里大解时的粪便演变出来的!当然,这传言纯属无稽之谈!但可从中理解到为何榴梿的味道,不是每个人都能承受的了的。

我们全家大小,除了靖捷外,都喜欢榴梿。连我们最近领养的小狗,也蛮喜欢吃榴梿!

稍微有点品质的榴梿,其价格就因为中国大陆人民的喜爱追捧,在近十年来一直飙升!幸好偶尔会因为某种原因,榴梿园产量过多,供多于求,而导致价钱稍微实蕙些。

剖开榴梿,也是一门技术!油管频道上就常看到老外剖开榴梿的囧像。

Durians, touted as king of fruits. You either love it or hate it!

There are regular local farm durians that are cheaper; but there are also "branded" durians that are supposedly more palatable and expensive!

One can buy local durians at $5 per piece; whereas the branded durians may cost one $50 per piece!

Local durians can be as palatable as the "branded" ones! I guess it all depends on one's budget and taste.
