那些背过的课文，现在看也还是不过时。One man in a boat Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

A pair of high achievers. Skyscraper Day
The Petronas Twin Towers are the unmistakable calling card of the Malaysian capital city of Kuala Lumpur, affectionately called KL. The 88-story, 1,483-foot cylindrical towers were the tallest buildings in the world when they were completed in 1996, until 2004 when Taiwan's Taipei 101 topped them by almost 200 feet. Still the tallest twin skyscrapers in the world, they're our perfect inspiration today on Skyscraper Day, set aside to appreciate such engineering and architectural feats.
The Petronas Towers, named for Malaysia's state-owned oil and gas company, were designed by the late Argentine American architect César Pelli, who incorporated motifs of Islamic art into his postmodern design. It remains his masterpiece, and a true standout in a country and continent full of skyscrapers. One of the most notable features of the buildings is a two-level skybridge that connects the towers at the 41st and 42nd floors. The bridge is not actually anchored to the main structure, but freely slides into each tower to accommodate any swaying caused by wind.
The preponderance of supertall structures in Asia isn't a coincidence. Skyscrapers spring up where populations are high, land is in short supply, and economies flourish. Plus, for an up-and-coming city, nothing says you've arrived like a gleaming skyscraper—or a pair of them. And why stop there? Even the Petronas Towers, though emblematic of the KL skyline, are no longer the tallest kids on the block in Malaysia: A new skyscraper, the 2,227-foot Merdeka 118, is expected to be completed in 2023 as the second-highest building in the world

指环王三部曲，陆陆续续重新观看完毕。不愧是经典永流传！印象最深刻的几个支线人物：精灵公主，如果没有重新铸造断掉的圣剑，历史走向将不同；白袍巫师甘道夫，意志坚定，视野开阔；山姆，弗罗多的忠实同伴，在弗罗多意志力被魔戒几乎摧毁殆尽的时候，帮助和鼓舞他；被蒙蔽了意志又被甘道夫恢复意识的国王的女儿，无比的勇气站在戒灵飞龙面前，依靠巨大的勇气、力量、技巧和一丝运气，战胜最强的戒灵；强兽人，和半兽人的争斗内讧，让人感慨江湖无处不在；刚泽王国的摄政王和次子，父子关系紧张和摄政王的脆弱意志力、对周边国家的怀疑，感慨大帝国长存永续之艰难，合纵连横之艰难。
当和平到来，所有的历史皆不可改变，所有人的生活、皆如弗罗多风云顶上的刺痕无法再恢复一般、难以彻底恢复、只能依靠时间抚平。How do you pick up the threads of an old life? Home is behind, the world ahead. 家园已在身后，世界就在眼前。
