以前坐别人车的时候总在幻想: 夜幕降临, 在音乐声中,自己与车奔驰于繁华城市的街道, 穿过高架桥, 享受抛之一切和飞跃时间的快乐! 所以一直觉得, 有车是一种享受! 自由的空间, 留给自己一点孤独感, 以及思考的余地. 如果有机会, 就一定要买一部自己的车, 配上最好的音响设备!
在中国, 盘算需要努力多长时间, 才能买一部满意的车. 来到瑞典4个月, “不知不觉”就买了一部. 还是自己喜欢的二手车! 传统的观念觉得, 车当然是要买新的, 那怕是几流的牌子! 可是要用”一辈子”(用到法律规定期)的, 中国人念旧嘛! 瑞典人可不是这么想的, 车是必备的工具, 和日常生活品一样不可或缺, 但却不能比喻为”情人”之类的珍贵品! 换车就像读杂志一样, 魅力散尽就应该换下一本了! 所以瑞典人更新车的速度非常快, 几乎半年或一年就换一次! 当然我所说的是二手车! 新车? 疯了嘛? 在这几乎没有人买新车(除了特殊原因), 人们更愿意享受换车的乐趣, 而不是呵护只一部车的感觉! 由于换车的速度飞快, 所以这里的二手车其实是非常新的, 有的几乎是新车转手一两个月. 还有就是老车改造, 大街上最眩的莫过于飞弛而过的, 上几十个年代的老车(配有惊人的engine). 在中国, 几乎找不到这样的街景! 没有人会用比自己还老的车? 法律也不允许—废钢废铁! 老砖老瓦! 抛掉吧! 抛掉吧!
其实旧的东西, 只要善加利用也是会发光的! 瑞典的这种”存老”和”二手”文化对我是一次很好的更新!
注: 我们的新朋友是奥迪Ａ２, 淡绿, 全铝车身(世界上第一种以铝做车身材料的汽车, 正因如此, 成本造价昂贵, 现已停产.), ３Ｌ（每１０公里耗油０．３Ｌ＼环保车＼底税＼节能＼在瑞典各大城市停车免费), 柴油！建议使用哦！

你真是幸福像花儿一样开放，我就惨了，凄凄惨惨凄凄！
开回来给我玩玩嘛．．．．．．
补充，你给会用右手换挡啊？憨姑娘！
开么小心点呢，人家的驾驶座和我们不一个方向么．
Hi Linn – interesting what you see here.
And then you see something of how the economies are arranged ‘here’ – can be with interesting relation even to the poetics, as you find…
Kind regards,
Clive
Hola! Now you successfully converted to a real western human. Welcome aboard!
Congratulation to your almost new car! The posterised B&W pic of you holding the steering wheel is a cool one, I like it
I own an Audi, too. 16 years old and 320000km. Your car will not last for your life but probably longer than many others.
小何:
笨笨!
“大眼睛”!!! 你那只眼睛看见他们呢驾驶座和我们不一样?
欧洲除了英国以外 都和中国一样是左驾驶座, 右边通行!
哈哈哈哈~~~~真不知道你是怎么看照片的?
Hi my dear western friends( Clive and Wolfgang ),
WOW! it seems that i don’t need wirte english anymore because you all understand my chinese! i am so glad of that!
hehe~~i really enjoy the western curtural, even sometimes it doesn’t work so well. but i prefer a interesting life to a boring life!
regards from Linn
Don’t understand Chinese – http://babelfish.altavista.com/ helped – LOL
About Chinese boring life – for us Carls life in China was really interesting
regards from wolfgang
Well, Lynn, similar as Wolfgang, except I use other translators. Sometimes it is possible to get some understanding – with your Uncle, naturally less so but his is often very interesting.
I hope you don’t fall into the trap laid by somewhat envious friends…
As to interests – perhaps almost all places have them, when we do not confuse ourselves with generalizations.
In a way your uncle would likely understand, I had an experience at your age which would show this. I went with my girlfriend to a town where she practiced a few hours for a play. Meanwhile I walked around, thinking it was pretty boring.
Then I had a thought, about why a place should seem boring. So I walked again, this time noticing many small things which I still remember, plants, animals, persons, homes, connections in how all life was making itself, including in the evening while I was there. I could talk with persons, touch their attractions, think what could be ‘made’, what making is, what a ‘where’ is. I was not bored…and I understood deeply a feeling to express.
Regards,
Clive
Hehe~~
thanks for Wolfgang and Clive!
i must explain what i said about “boring life” and “interesting life”! i checked my last message again and found that i was not very clear, so it’s not strange you missunderstood me! what i mean is “i prefer a interesting life with Carl ( because the culture differences make our relationship more complicated and adventured) rather than a nomal standard couple life. ” but acturally, i am very happy that, because of my fault, i can see some new intelligent ideas from Clive and i have the similar feeling in reality but only be ignored behind. Somehow this remind my somebody said like ” if i have one more chance, i will…” but how many people can have one more chance? Before i still have chance to say “interesting”, i should not say ” boring” so easily , otherwise i will be regret and say like everybody does” if i have chance, i will go to that place again” hehe
By the way, China, for me, is never boring! i am part of China, so i will not feel boring of myself, right? hehe~~~
regards from Linn
Lynn, that is a very nice reply for another person (and yes, another ‘uncle’
) to find. Thank you – and for your thoughts which also bring some more life to me.
Your ‘if I have one more chance’ reminds me of a story. It is a bit complicated, but a good one, and if you can read it all right, I think you will like it.
It would be found in a book by Ursula K. Le Guin, which is a collection of short stories and a short novel. The title is “A Fisherman of the Inland Sea”.
Let me give you a British Amazon link for it, so you are sure to know the one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fisherman-Inland-Sea-Stories/dp/0060763515
In the book, it is the last, called there ‘Another Story’. She is telling her own story which is related to a very famous Japanese fairy tale, which Wolfgang may know, where a fisherman goes to another land within the sea.
In Ursula Le Guin’s story, two young people ‘miss their chance’ somehow, and you will believe this. But then in a way not at all expected, there is a delicate new chance, and you will believe this also.
This is, like all her work, fiction of culture; and like much of it, a kind of speculation enters into it. This tale is in its way also very much of long history as we know it – also often a thing you feel with her writing, especially when it introduces some new chance, as the one here.
In the rest of the stories, there is an amount of new technique of writing, and I think you will like some of them well enough; probably not all, or find all easy to understand. But maybe the ‘Red Chamber Dream’ would prepare you surprisingly for some
.
Anyway, I think that last story is worth something for nearly everyone, and so people often speak of it, as you can find in the comments left on Amazon.
Maybe this is the birthday recommendation we had to ‘mistake each other’ to find….
regards from Clive
Hi again – it seems that link doesn’t actually work, as I shortened it too much .
This one should, though:

冬云，你好！
10月底11月初，是大理州考录公务员面试的大忙时节。我先后两次被隔离封闭，搞文字服务。因此没有写什么东西，也就没有和你交流。
自我的计算机感染上了木马病毒，格式化后重装了系统，Skype(网络电话)已经删掉了，早就用不成了。前两天，你爹的计算机也重新处理过，Skype(网络电话)已被删除，用不成了。当地的电脑公司不熟悉此软件，无法下载安装。看来解决的办法有两个：一是把Skype(网络电话)安装的流程和方法发电子邮件过来，我们自己安装；二是通过“QQ”托管到你们那儿安装。所以如果方便，想及时联系。我的邮箱是 yschang1886@sina.com 。
又联系。

笑看她们的车与感
看了《车的诱惑》文，“奥迪Ａ２, 淡绿, 全铝车身”适合你的性格，为你高兴。这回出行更方便了。不过还是老话一句，安全第一。
我有个侄女，是我表姐的姑娘，她叫赵吉惠，比你稍大几岁，现在昆明，从事中学教研。前几年买了车，车玩多了，也颇有体会。我把她写的一篇博客《驾车品人生》附后，空时你可以看看，也找找感觉，体会体会在地大街窄、车多人更多的中国驾车的感觉。她也喜欢写博客，文笔相当不错，感兴趣你可登陆看看(地址：http://blog.cersp.com/userlog16/31263/index.shtml 或“吉惠的博客”)。
驾车品人生－－吉惠 文
有人说：驾驶着属于自己的车，可以让生活半径扩大一倍。我全然没有这样的感受，因为我只认得家和单位之间的路。不过，自己操纵着如此的庞然大物，以不同于以往的角度去看街道、路人、车辆，以不同于以往的状态去感觉时间、空间，确实别有一番味道。驾车品人生，我也有林林总总的心得。
学习驾驶时，最害怕走拥挤的城郊街道。看看前面乌麻麻的一片，路边摊、路人、马车、自行车、摩托、三轮车，还有路人身上背上无数的箩箩筐筐……心里就开始焦躁起来——过不去了！过不去了！
这种时候教练总是笑着说：开过去！你到跟前，他们自然就散了。
果然是这样的。我把车慢慢开到“乌麻麻一片”的跟前，路边摊就会往后撤一点，路人、自行车之类也会找个空隙让开。一点一点，车前面的路豁开一些，拥挤的人和物又簇拥到车后面去。这样渐次地向前，车竟然已经慢慢地远离了那段令人焦躁的街道。
其实生活也是这样，我们时常会感到眼前的事情乱糟糟一团，各种麻烦纠葛在一起，仿佛怎么都解不开。这个时候我们不要长时间地停下来等待，最好的办法就是直直地朝这些麻烦走过去，当走近它的时候，就会发现，有些困难自然就迎刃而解了，仿佛刚才并没有存在；有些问题刚才还在眼前蹦达得厉害，现在也暂时退到一边去了；确实有个别顽固的挡路者，只要专心对付它们就好了……只要前面不是死胡同，这些看似最混乱的阻拦，终究是会散开的。
Hi, Clive
thanks for the link. i will try to search this book and maybe i will find a real book so that i can enjoy it!
from Linn
山曲乐人:
我记得以前发过给你一封邮件, 里面有下载skype的方法! 不过我可以再发一次, 我也在这里留下, 以免你没有受到:
下面是安装skype的方法:
1. 首先进入网站 http://skype.tom.com/
2. 点击右上角”免费下载”,然后点击”立即下载”
3. 出现对话框, 按”保存”,然后跟着指示做就可以了!
4. 最后图标会自动出现在显示屏上, 只要像以前一样的输入你的用户名和密码就可以用了!
山曲乐人:
文笔确实不错! 只是很多文章我都打不开, 可能是网络不通的问题!
最近快要考试, 所以没有太多顾及流云小居, 家里的人都好吧?
Linn, if you can give me an address to Carl’s parents’ house, I will see if I can send it to you.
If you don’t like to put it in the blog, you can e-mail me, by combining the name windinyews with the rest of the address, which is gmail.com. Ask Carl if unsure how to do this
.
By the way, the more I ‘read’ something of your uncle’s thoughts, the more I think he is a man with a very lively and appreciated mind.
Kind regards,
Clive
＂州庆＂假期回帖小记
November 21st, 2006 的两个帖子都看到了，有点忙，没有跟帖．现在有空，顺便写几句．
一者skype的安装方法我们都已经了解，有什么问题再说．我没在家忙不赢试．我的邮箱收不到你的邮件，想来是网络问题．二者今年是大理白族自治州建州５０周年（１９５６年１１月２２日），＂州庆＂放假３天．我自然跑回剑川看望父母．三者各家的情况都很好，人人安康顺心快乐，不必担心，你安心考试便是．
以前这个时节没有假期，现在有机会可以爬爬初冬的山．还真不赖，松针黄橙橙如金丝毯，满坡满地；响叶杨金灿灿如摇钱树，声声灌耳；枫树叶红彤彤如火烧云，秋味十足；冬天的霜雪倒反未见，想来地球慢慢变暖了，冬天的使者也姗姗来迟了，……小心又来个暖冬．
明天就返回下关上班．又谈．
问卡雷和他们家人好！
Hi, clive

Hi Linn – yes, I got it, and apologies to take a few days before a reply.
You have an email back now, and something to read there

Nice regards,
Clive

现在明白了一个道理，机会在于人自己把握，悔自己当初不明白，呵呵~~
那就只有暂时尽力为大理人民作贡献啦！
