Honor to Us All
Vocals: Beth Fowler, Marnie Nixon, Lea Salonga and Chorus
Music: Matthew Wilder
Lyrics: David Zippel

——————————————————————————–

This is what you give me to work with?
Well, honey, I’ve seen worse
We’re going to turn this sow’s ear
Into a silk purse

We’ll have you
Washed and dried
Primped and polished till you glow with pride
Trust my recipe for instant bride
You’ll bring honor to us all

Wait and see
When we’re through
Boys will gladly go to war for you
With good fortune and a great hairdo
You’ll bring honor to us all

A girl can bring her family
Great honor in one way
By striking a good match
And this could be the day

Men want girls with good taste
Calm
Obedient
Who work fast-paced
With good breeding
And a tiny waist
You’ll bring honor to us all

We all must serve our Emperor
Who guards us from the Huns
A man by bearing arms
A girl by bearing sons

When we’re through you can’t fail
Like a lotus blossom soft and palm
How could any fellow say “No sale”
You’ll bring honor to us all

There – you’re ready
Not yet
An apple for serenity …
A pendant for balance …
Beads of jade for beauty
You must proudly show it
Now add a cricket just for luck
And even you can’t blow it

Ancestors
Hear my plea
Help me not to make a fool of me
And to not uproot my fam’ly tree
Keep my father standing tall

Scarier than the undertaker
We are meeting our matchmaker
Destiny
Guard our girls
And our future as it fast unfurls
Please look kindly on these cultured pearls
Each a perfect porcelain doll

Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us
Please bring honor to us all

Reflection
Vocal: Lea Salonga
Music: Matthew Wilder
Lyrics: David Zippel

——————————————————————————–

Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be
I’m not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself
I would break my fam’ly’s heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don’t know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I’ve tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I’ll Make a Man Out of You
Vocals: Donny Osmond and Chorus
Music: Matthew Wilder
Lyrics: David Zippel

——————————————————————————–

Let’s get down to business – to defeat the Huns
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?
You’re the saddest bunch I’ve ever met
But you can bet before we’re through
Mister, I’ll make a man out of you

Tranquil as a forest
But on fire within
Once you find your center
You are sure to win
You’re a spineless, pale pathetic lot
And you haven’t got a clue
Somehow I’ll make a man out of you

I’m never gonna catch my breath
Say goodbye to those who knew me
Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym
This guy’s got ’em scared to death
Hope he doesn’t see right through me
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim

(Chorus:)
Be a man
We must be swift as the coursing river
Be a man
With all the force of a great typhoon
Be a man
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon

Time is racing toward us till the Huns arrive
Heed my every order and you might survive
You’re unsuited for the rage of war
So pack up, go home you’re through
How could I make a man out of you?

(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)

A Girl Worth Fighting For
Vocals: Harvey Fierstein, James Hong, Lea Salonga, Jerry Tondo, Matthew Wilder and Chorus
Music: Matthew Wilder
Lyrics: David Zippel

——————————————————————————–

For a long time we’ve been marching off to battle
In our thund’ring herd we feel a lot like cattle
Like the pounding beat our aching feet aren’t easy to ignore
Hey, think of instead a girl worth fighting for
Huh?
That’s what I said:
A girl worth fighting for

I want her paler than the moon with eyes that shine like stars
My girl will marvel at my strength, adore my battle scars
I couldn’t care less what she’ll wear or what she looks like
It all depends on what she cooks like: Beef, pork, chicken …
Mmmh …

Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer
And I’ll bet the ladies love a man in armor
You can guess what we have missed the most
since we went off to war
What do we want?
A girl worth fighting for

My girl will think I have no faults
That I’m a major find
How ’bout a girl who’s got a brain
Who always speaks her mind?
Nah!
My manly ways and turn of phrase are sure to thrill her
He thinks he’s such a lady-killer

I’ve a girl back home who’s unlike any other
Yeah, the only girl who’d love him is his mother
But when we e home in victory they’ll line up at the door
What do we want?
A girl worth fighting for
Wish that I had
A girl worth fighting for
A girl worth fighting –

True to Your Heart (Single)
Vocals: 98° and Stevie Wonder
Music: Matthew Wilder
Lyrics: David Zippel

——————————————————————————–

Baby, I knew at once that you were meant for me
Deep in my soul I know that I’m your destiny
Though you’re unsure why fight the tide
Don’t think so much, let your heart decide

Baby, I see your future and it’s tied to mine
I look in your eyes and see you searching for a sign
But you’ll never fall till you let go
Don’t be so scared of what you don’t know

(Chorus:)
True to your heart
You must be true to your heart
That’s when the heavens will part
And baby, shower you with my love
Open your eyes
Your heart can tell you no lies
And when you’re true to your heart
I know it’s goona lead you straight to me

Someone ya know is on your side, can set you free
I can do that for you if you believe in my
Why second-guess what feels so right
Just trust your heart
And you’ll see the light

(repeat chorus)

Your heart knows what’s good for you
Let your heart show you the way
It’ll see you through

Girl, my heart is driving me to where you are
You can take both hands off the wheel and still get far
Be swept away
Enjoy the ride
You won’t get lost
With your heart to guide you

(repeat chorus)

When things are gettin’ crazy
And you don’t know where to start
Keep on believin’, baby
Just be true to your heart
When all the world around yu
It seems to fall apart
Keep on believin’, baby
Just be true to your heart

Reflection (Single)
Vocal: Christina Aguilera
Music: Matthew Wilder
Lyrics: David Zippel

——————————————————————————–

Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you’ll never know me
Ev’ry day
It’s as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I am now
In a world where I have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What’s inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don’t know?
Must I pretend that I’m
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There’s a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I’m forced to hide?

I won’t pretend that I’m
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

Civilization on the bus
After school, I got on the bus with my classmates, I saw an empty seat and sat down. At the next s, the crowd began to surge, the narrow space was packed. At this time, came up an old grandfather, the old man’s house because did not find a seat, had to stand beside me. Then came a pregnant woman, pregnant women also did not find a seat, can only stand. I like the seat, can see the surrounding passengers all did not want his seat, then open the. All of a sudden, there was a man standing behind me. He was dressed in plain clothes, pale, and a young man. He helped the old man say: “old man, sit my seat.” The old grandfather shook his hand, pulled to the seat of the pregnant woman. This scene so that the presence of all people admire.
I got out of the car, looked far from drove the bus into a meditation: believe me, the bus carrying is not only passengers, is the city’s civilization. If each of us are practicing, practicing “public civilization, you and I peer” concept, “happiness, smooth, livable, happiness Xichang” is not a dream.
公交车上的文明
放学后，我随着同学们挤上公交车，看见一个空位赶紧钻过去坐下来。到了下一站，人群又开始往上涌，狭窄的空间被塞得满满的。这时，上来了一位老爷爷，老人家由于没有找到一个座位，只好在我旁边站着。接着又上来了一位孕妇，孕妇也没找到座位，也只能站着。我有点想让座，可看到周围乘客个个没有想让座的，便坦然了。突然，我身后有个人站了起来，他衣着朴素，脸色苍白，是位青年。他扶过老人说“老爷爷，坐我的位子吧。”老爷爷却摇摇手，把孕妇拉到了座位上。这一幕让在场的所有人都为之敬佩。
我下了车，望着远远驶去的公交车陷入了沉思我相信，公交车上载的不仅仅是乘客，更是这个城市的文明。如果我们每个人都身体力行地践行“公交文明，你我同行”之理念，“幸福、畅通、宜居、幸福西昌”就不再是梦想。

book ,in terms of time,I don’t mention too much,you can read it by you self.

Now let me read some sentences that I picked up from the book for you.This is a letter from Mr March.“Give my girls my love,and each a kiss.Tell them I think of them by day and pray for them at night.I know that they will remember all that I said to them when I left them. will be loving children ,do their daily duties well,fight each her own particular fault,and conquer so well that when I e back to them I may be prouder than ever of my little women.”

“I will ,my child ,I will.Don’t cry so, my dear,but remember this day,and ,with all your heart,that you will never know another like it, Jo, dear, we all have our tThe general content:at beginning of the book, the girls tried to play Pilgrims.And Ithink this play is the clue of the wholle novel.The life was like a road of pilgrims to the four girls.It is about the March family’s four girls,the difficult process of growing up,being mature,and making themselves perfect with the help of their parents.Meanwhile,their father was joining the army.How they realize their defects and correct them appropriately.It started during the Christmas,and ended at the next chrismas.Now I’d like to introduce the main characters to all of you.Mrs. March, the mother,who was very wise and warmhearted,who educated the girls suessfully,I think.Mr. March,the father, who was joining the army,and he loved his family very much,and he couraged the girls regularly.And now,es to the ladies. The first Margaret,called Meg by the family ,was sixteen years old and very pretty.Fifteen-year-old Josephine,or Jo,was tall and thin,with long thick hair–her only beauty,she used to say .She wanted to write stories , and cared little for the things that girls of her age usually care for. Next came Elizabeth ,or Beth,a qiuet bright-eyed girl of thirteen,who loved music and was loved by everybody. What she most desired was to play the piano well .Amy,the youngest , was twelve ,and ,in her own opinion,a very important person .She had golden hair and blue eyes , and wanted to be an artist .(玛格丽特，家人昵称为梅格，16岁，长的很漂亮。15岁的约瑟芬，或叫她乔，身材高挑而纤瘦，留了一头长长的头发，她常说这是她唯一漂亮的地方。她想写小说，所以很少关心像她这样年龄的女孩子们所长关心的事情。接下来的就是伊丽莎白了，或叫她贝丝，她是一个安静并有一对闪亮的眼睛的十三岁少女，她喜爱音乐，大家都很喜欢她。她最大的愿望是把琴弹好。艾美是年纪最小的一个，只有十三岁，依她自己的说法，她是一个很重要的角色，她有着金黄的头发和蓝色的眼睛，并想成为一个艺术家。)Later,Laurie,the neiboured boy,who was very shy before,and he was living with his grandpa,Mr.laurence.Laurie liked art very much,but he was forbidden from it by his grandfather,because he wanted him to be a businessman to carry on their families’career.But later he was changed by the energetic Jo,and began to be a bold boy.And he got along with the Marchs very well,even they regarded him as a member of this family,and Mr. Laurence ,the generous old man too.They really helped a lot ,when Mr. March was away. The wholle novel is talking about the girls,they dared to throw their shortages on the table,and they tried to help each other to correct them.And the ending is ,of course,Mr. March came back from the army,and he was delighted to see his dautghers maturity,and the little women ,as he had expected them to be in his letters.Jo became a writer,which was her dream ,and learn to control her bad temper.Meg got married,and was a happy housewife ,together with her husband who loved her very much.Beth lived with her parents ,and not as shy as before.Amy became an artist as she wished before,and not as selfish as before.And at last she married with Laurie,who loved Jo at the beginning,but later he proposed to Amy.And there are some little details inemptation, and it often takes us all our lives to conquer them,I used tohave a temper like yours.i’ve been trying to cure it for forty years,and even now have only sueeded in controling it .i am angry nearly everyday of my life, Jo,but I have learned not to show it.I still hope tolearn not to feel it,though it may take me another forty years to do so.”（我会的，我的孩子，我会的。不要那样哭，我亲爱的，记住这一天，诚心诚意的下定决心，你要永远记住不能再有这样的一天亲爱的乔，我们每一个人都有弱点，常使得我们花费一生来克服它而已。我一生中几乎每天都在发脾气，乔，不过我已学会不让它表现出来，我还希望学着不发脾气，虽然它可能浪费我另一个四十年。）这是当乔对艾美发了脾气之后，差一点导致艾美落水死亡时，乔感到极度悔恨，马奇夫人安慰她的话。

“That is perfectly natural and qiute harmless,if the liking is not allowed to lead one to do foolish r even wrong thing,and to make good people admire you by being modest as well as pretty,Meg”(如果这个偏好不会引导人们做愚笨或错误的事，那便是完全的自然和无伤害的。梅格，你应该学会认识和评价别人的称赞，要让高尚的人称赞你的美德而不仅仅是美丽。)这是当梅格参加一个华丽的宴会之后，她对她在宴会上的表现感到羞愧和后悔的时候，马其太太说的话。Now this paragraph is concerned about marriage,maybe it’s also useful to us.

“I want my daughters to be beautiful and good,to be admired and loved,to be well an wisely married and to lead useful lives,with as little sorrow to trouble them as God may think it right for them to suffer.To be loved and chosen by a good man is the best and sweetest thing that happen to a woman,and I sincerely hope my girls may have this expierence .It is natural ,my dear girls,to think of it,right to hope for it,and wise to prepare for it,so that when the time does e,you may feel ready for the duties and worthy of the joy.Like all mothers I want you the best for you,but not for you to marry rich men merely because they are rich—with splendid houses which are not homes,because no love is there.Money is a necessary thing,and when well used it is a good thing,but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to try for,I’d rather see you poor men’s wives,if you were happy than queens without self-respect and peace.Remember one thing,my girls,Mother is always ready too listen to youmto help and advise you,and father to be your good friend.We both trust and hope that our daughters,whether married or single,will be the pride and fort of our lives.”(我希望我的女儿美丽贤淑，令人羡慕和喜爱，健康快乐，婚姻美满，过上有意义的生活，只经受上帝认为你们所必需经受的痛苦。被一个好男人所爱并做他的妻子，这对一个女人来说，是最好最甜蜜的事情。我衷心地希望你们有这样的经历。亲爱的孩子们，你们憧憬婚姻大事是很正常的，你们应该期盼它的到来并做好准备迎接它。这样，当那一刻来临的时候，你们才能享受它的快乐和责任像所有母亲一样，我也希望你们能得到最好的东西，但并不希望你们为钱而嫁给富人，因为没有爱的豪宅并不能称其为“家”。金钱是必须的，合理的用它是一件好事；，我永远不要你们认为它是首要或者唯一值得为之努力的东西，我宁愿看到你们成为贫穷人家的妻子，也不愿你们成为没有自尊和安宁的皇后。记住一件事，我的女儿们，母亲随时准备聆听你们、帮助你们和忠告你们，父亲则是你们的朋友。我们都希望并相信我们的女儿无论是结婚或单身，都会使我们的骄傲和安慰。

“Here is one ,”he took Meg’s hand and pointed to the rough fingers,a burn mark on the back,and some hard places on the inside.“I remember a time when this hand was white and smooth.It was very pretty then,but it is prettier now.I am very proud to shake this good hardworking hand,and hope I shall not soon be asked to give it away.这是其中的一件。他举起梅格的手，指着她粗糙的手指，而手指上有少上过的烙痕，并且手心之中哟一些硬块。他说，我记得这只手曾经是那么的白皙和光滑，它是很美丽的，对我来说，它现在更美丽了。我很骄傲能与这只辛勤工作的手握着，而且我希望我将会陪伴着它直到她出嫁为止。

“I see a young lady with a face rather pale with wactingand care,but I like to look at it, for it has grown sweet.Her voice is softer,and she moves qiuetly and takes care of a certain little person in a motherly way which delights me.I miss a little wild girl,but if in her place I get a strong helpful tender-heared woman I shall feel qiute satisfied.I don’t know whether the cuting of her hair had a nything to do with the change,but I do know that in all Washington I could’nt find anything beatiful enough to buy with the five-and-twenty dollars which my good girl sent me.我看到一位年轻的小姐为了照顾他人而让脸颊变得苍白，但我喜欢看它，因为它长得很甜美，她的声音很温柔。而且她沉静像慈母般的照顾小孩子，这让我感到欣慰。我失去了我顽皮的小女儿，如果取而代之的是一个坚强善良的女孩，我将感到十分的满意。我不知道她剪下头发是否有了任何的变化，不过我知道在全华盛顿都找不到足够好的东西可以值我女儿送给我的25美元。

“Now Beth,”said Amy,longing for her turn,but ready to wait.

“there is so little of her,I am afraid to say much,for fear she will depart altogether,”said their father,as he drew his little daughter close to him,her face against his own.ou safe,my Beth,and I’ll keep you so,please God.”

After a silence,he looked down at Amy,who sat at his feet,and touching her shining golden hair he said,“I noticed that Amy took message and did little things to help her mother all the afternoon,and has waited on everybody patiently and with a good temper.So I judge that she has hearted to think more of other people and less of herself.I am glad of this,for though I should be proud of any picture painted by her,I shall be prouder of a lovable daughter,with a gift of making life beautiful to herself and others.”

现在，轮到贝丝了。艾美说，她渴望着轮到自己，可是她还是耐心的等着。

我对她仅说一点点，我害怕说得太多，怕她会永远的离开。她们的父亲说着，把他的小女儿拥的更近，把她的脸贴在自己的脸上。我现在拥有好好的你，我的贝丝，愿主保佑你

一直好好的。

一段沉默之后，他俯视着坐在自己脚边的艾美，他抚摸着她发亮的金黄色头发说，“我注意到艾美整个下午都帮着传话并帮助母亲做些琐事，并且很耐心很温柔地侍候每一个人。所以我认为她已经学会了多为别人着想而少为自己打算了。我很高兴她这样做，尽管我很为她的画而骄傲，但我更骄傲的是有一个可爱的女儿，她能让自己和别人的生活更加多姿多彩。

Now the last part of the story,here is a song.

He that is down need fear no fall,

He that is low no pride;

He that is humble ever shall

Have God to be his guide.

I am content with what I have

Little be it or much;

And,Lord!Contentment still I crave,

Because Thou savest such

And with that happy scene we end this story of a long year’s pilgrimage.

脚踏实地的人不会倒下‘

卑微的人不会骄傲；

谦虚的人一向会得到上帝山的指引。

我满足于我所拥有的一切，

不论是多是少；

而且，神啊！我仍恳求满足，

因为满足才能得到救赎！

伴着这愉快的一幕我们将结束这漫长的一年朝圣旅行的故事。

　　Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of ears. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.
Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. “Just a few hours,” replied Pablo. Martin asked, “Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish?” “I have enough for my family,” Pablo said. “And what do you do with the rest of your day?” asked Martin. “I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards, I have a full and busy life.” Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch money more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.
“Then what?” asked Pablo. “Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business. Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars,” replied Martin. “How long will that take?” asked Pablo.
Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years.
“And then what” asked Pablo.
“Well, that’s the best part,” Martin said. “You will be able to retire, buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards.”

When the famous dancer Fred Astaire was interviewed for a job by a Hollywood producer, the movie “expert” turned him down, saying, “Can’t sing. Can’t act. Dances a little.” Here’s another stupid mistake. When the great scientist Albert Einstein was at school, his teachers considered him rather dull. And a final story, the famous Polish pianist Paderewski was told by a teacher that he’d never be a suess as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.
What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences? First, true genius(天才) cannot be suppressed(压抑). For some reason or other it works its way out. Second, early judgments of a person’s abilities may be unfair or just wrong. Third, when there is a real determination to sueed, obstacles fall by the wayside.
　　The famous motto “ad astra per aspera” can be translated as “To the stars through hardships”. Astaire, Einstein and Paderewski proved their critics wrong.
　　41. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
　　A. Fred Astaire was a famous dancer.
　　B. True ability will always make itself known.
　　C. Some people never get discouraged.
　　D. Albert Einstein proved his teachers wrong.
　　42. When Paderewski’s teachers told him he’d never be a suess, they were _______.
　　A. being humorous B. cheerful, though concerned
　　C. somewhat hesitant D. seriously mistaken
　　43. “Ad astra per aspera” is used in the passage _______.
　　A. as a motto for the three men’s lives B. to show the value of Latin
　　C. to send the reader to the dictionary D. to point out that genius is always recognized early
　　44. The writer of the passage thinks that the reader _______.
　　A. knows that the three men were suessful men
B. someday dreams to bee like one of the men
C. sympathizes with(同情) the poor teachers of the three men
　　D. knows that Fred Astaire was an actor famous for performing Shakespeare’s plays

It’s the riddle as given, but the solution…

Right, you get it. Its a tomb, a large grave. But I’ll tell you the story. And it isn’t a regular riddle.

My name is Nie Xiaoqian, and I have always been known as Little Beauty. You may have heard of it. My reputation became prominent later. Several times, the Hong Kong director Tsui Hark, tirelessly asked me to appear in his movies (one film series, and the other an animated story). My name was once mentioned by you, and this is a good and natural thing. At that time, I was just a small woman of humble origin, beautiful but not as charming as Joey Wang. It was Tsui’s extraordinary imagination to cast me as that pretty look in the movie. I live at 10 Boai Road, and there is another name – Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.  One year, I served a novelist Pu from Shandong, who came to see life here. Yet the deepest impression which came over me-the smell of garlic and Confucian classics. Once it was a very popular smell which meant elegance here. The novelist Pu wrote my story into one of his novels. It was just a regular story not the best in his anthology. After his seven incarnations, he changed his name to Tsui Hark, and produced a film in Hong Kong called “A Chinese Ghost Story”. It was only then that I discovered that he had an extraordinary memory of his experience at 10 Boai Road, otherwise such trans-era nostalgia could not be reasonably explained. The past is like the grass growing,  and like the moonlight smashing against the ground,  not even a seam can get rid of. It spells over my guqin table, also disturbs the quiet, lingering music. What I’m trying to say is the very recollection of that time is just as very, very profound. My eyes were lonely and deep. I can only, under the imagination, pass through the countless nights in front of me. Once again, I’m back in Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion where I had a great reputation.

　　它是一个谜语的谜面，谜底是——
　　对了，你猜对了，是坟，一座坟。但我将用故事告诉你，这并不是一个普通谜语的谜面。

　　我的名字叫小倩，聂小倩，你们可能早已经听说过了。我的声名显赫于身后，自从香港导演徐克不厌其烦，三番五次地让我出现在他的电影里(一部连续电影，一部动画片)，我的名字一度被你挂在嘴边也是一件很自然的事情，而当年我只是一个出身卑微的小女子，相貌姣好却不及王祖贤妩媚，把我描绘成电影上的模样是徐克的想像力。我住在博爱路10号，那儿还有一个名称——天香楼。有一年我曾在天香楼接待过一位来自山东姓蒲的小说家，他是到我们这儿体验生活的，我对他最深的印象就是由大蒜和经书组成的气味，这是一种曾经很流行的气味，在天香楼它意味着风雅。结果这个姓蒲的小说家把我的故事写进他的一部小说里，它只是一篇很普通的故事，在他的文集中都不能说是最出色的，但他在人世七次轮回后又在香港投拍了一部叫《倩女幽魂》的电影，并且更名为徐克，这样一来，我才发现他对他在博爱路10号的经历有着异乎寻常的记忆，否则这种跨越时间的怀念就无法得到合理的解释。往事如同荒草滋长，又如月光匝地，无隙不至，漫过了我的琴台，也扰乱了我清寂的琴音。我想说的是，对那一段往事我的印象同样是非常深刻的，我的目光寂寞而悠远，我只有一任想像带着我穿过眼前无数个重重黑夜，回到那个给我带来盛名的天香楼……

I remember that Ning was here on an autumn morning, sunny, a wonderful and precious day for anyone austomed to the nightlife. I may have expected the dismal sunshine of winter, but the morning sun has none of its charms to me, so there is no impression of it. Morning is the quietest time in our concourse, sisters who toiled all night were still resting, we still needed to regain strength in our sleep, and Ning, a rich man’s son from the south, came here riding a horse on that morning. In fact, Ning would have liked to talk to our babe Li Shishui and see if he can link her, and he said he wanted Li to help him reach adulthood. For this, he brought a gift, a palm-sized, sparkling and crystal-clear Siamese jade. What Ning didn’t know was that Li is our babe of power, who was usually befriended by dignitaries or the rich, who made few opportunities to meet her sisters in the same building, much less meet an ordinary young gentleman who is a stranger here. Besides, he was going to Beijing to take the nationally unified examination. The madam- i.e. our mother, pushed back in excuse of Li’s busy agendas, so the meeting had to be agreed in advance, then she was ready to put him in a secluded room behind the mansion.

　　我记得宁采臣来的时候是个秋天的早晨，阳光明媚，对任何一个过惯夜生活的人，这都是一个弥足珍贵的好天气，但对冬天那种惨淡的阳光我可能还期盼过，早晨的太阳我却很难起心希求，更谈不上什么印象了。那时候通常也是天香楼最安静的时候，辛苦了一夜的姐妹都还在休息，我们还需要在睡梦中恢复体力，富家公子宁采臣却在那个早晨骑着一匹高头大马从南方来了。宁采臣本想见一见我们天香楼名扬天下的头牌红人李似水，他说很希望李姑娘能够移趾亲近，帮他完成他的成人仪式。为此他带来一份见面礼，一块掌心大小，晶莹剔透的暹罗暖玉。宁采臣不清楚的是李似水是我们天香楼的大姐大，平常结交的都是些显贵政要，要不就是商贾巨富，我们一个楼里姐妹见面的机会都不多，又岂是他一个外乡来的寻常公子随便见的?况且他不日就要进京赶考。老鸨，也就是我们的妈妈便推说李姑娘日程太紧，见面也要事先约定才行，预备把他安排在园子后面一幢僻静的房子里。

I guessed someone up there really wanted us to see each other that day. That morning, I drank a lot of yellow wine the night before, and at dawn, I was awakened by a burst of bowel noise. After I had freshened up, I decided to go down to the other side of the street to buy some cake or fritter thing in Mrs. Wang’s shop to feed my hunger. I walked along a dark corridor, while the hall was very quiet. Someone whispering, an echo could be heard, and the bustle of hawers outside the door seemed very far away. With the sound of my shoes on the floor, I went downstairs and saw a man standing next to the madam. He stood toward the staircase, that is to say, towards me, and his eyes were slightly straight because of the way he looked up, and then his eyes gradually shifted, and slowly settled on the tip of my feet, which were reaching down. He is the very one Mr. Ning from the south. There was a pale blue haze of smoke in the hall, and there was just a beam of sunlight from the window where Ning was standing. The dust in the pillar of light floated around him like a swarm of mosquitoes, and it made his face looked a little pale. We didn’t speak at first, and I felt like I wasn’t going down, but floating down. Suddenly I heard Mr. Ning said to madam, this is Miss Li, right? My mother and I both laughed. The man didn’t know what we were laughing at, he also laughed with us. Although the things we laughed at were not the same, I could see that he was very happy inside.

　　这可真是缘份，那天因为头晚上喝了一肚子黄酒，天一亮我就被一阵肠鸣闹醒了。我梳洗完，准备下楼到对面王婆家买一些烧饼油条充饥。我在一条昏暗的回廊上走着，大厅里静极了，虽然有人在小声说话，却隐隐可以听到回声，门外集市上的吆喝叫卖也好像离得很远。我下楼了，随着我的鞋子在楼板上轻轻踏出的响声，我看见妈妈身边一个男子站了起来，他迎着楼梯，也就是迎着我站着，因为仰视的缘故他的两眼显得有些发直，后来他的目光渐渐下移，慢慢地落在我不断向下探伸的足尖上。他就是从南方来的宁采臣宁公子。大厅里飘浮着一层淡蓝色的烟霭，宁公子站的地方刚好有一注从窗口射入的阳光，光柱里的尘埃就像一群蚊虫在他身边浮动着，这让宁公子的脸色看上去有些苍白。起初我们都没有说话，我感觉自己不是在下楼，而是不断地向下飘着。我忽然听到宁公子对妈妈说，这位——就是李姑娘吧?妈妈和我都笑了起来，那个男子不知道我们在笑什么，也跟着我们一起笑了，尽管我们笑的成份并不尽同，但看得出他心里是非常快活的。

Now, I’d like to introduce our Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion to you. It has been rumored that there are mechanical contrivances everywhere. It’s like a dizzying labyrinth, with an entrance, but no exit. Every customer who es in must spend his last money, then the servant will throw him out of the back door like a pile of rotten cotton and throw him into a muddy pond. The men who e for fun always roving this maze, and they have no choice but to spend all their money and be thrown out. Once this rumor was very popular, our reputation has got hurt. Indeed, a few people have been thrown into the muddy pond, but what kind of suckers are they? They eating here, sleeping here, fucking here, and they gambling here. If no money, a steamed bun you cannot take, so the necessary punishment is still needed, otherwise the order cannot be established. What I need to say is that there is no labyrinth yet, even though our mother made some secret things to the base when it was built-burying black dog blood and a pangolin’s tongue, however, this practice is permitted, aording to the Chapter 108th, article 56th, paragraph 3rd, of the Great Ching Legal Code, and it’s just adding some frightening elements to the exit. A gentleman never stands on a pling wall. With financial security，will a man take a risk out of desperation？Only one penniless person may do something desperate, and that dangerous exit was just designed for people like them, and only they could find it.

These are some of the justifications I made for Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

　　现在，我要把我们的天香楼向您介绍一下，一度传闻那里面机关四布，就像一个让人天旋地转的迷宫，有来处，却没有去处，每个进来的人都要在里面花光身上一份银子，才会由龟奴像一堆败絮一样从后门丢出去，丢到一个烂泥塘里。那些来寻开心的人总是在这个迷宫一样的天香楼里转啊转，除了花光银子再被人丢出去他们别无选择。这种传说一度很盛行，也让我们天香楼的声誉受到了影响，的确有那么几个人被我们丢进烂泥塘，但那些又是些什么人呢?连吃带住外加嫖赌，在街上你没钱连个馒头都买不到吧，必要的惩罚还是应当的，否则也无法建立秩序了。我想说的是，那个迷宫似的园子并不存在，尽管施工时我们的妈妈对屋基动了点手脚，埋上了黑狗血和穿山甲的舌头。但依据大清律第108章第56款第3条是被钦定准允的。它不过是在出口处增加了些凶险的因素，君子不立于危墙，试问一个有经济保障的人有谁还会去铤而走险呢?而一个身无分文的人才可能“穷极思变”，“狗急跳墙”，出口是为他们设立的，也只有他们才能够找到。

　　以上是我为天香楼作的一点辩解。

（ to be continued    未完待续 ）

I looked and looked at her,

and I knew as clearly as I know that I will die…

that I loved her more than anything I’d ever seen or imagined on earth.

She was only the dead leaf echo of the nymphet from long ago,

but I loved her; this Lolita, pale and polluted,

and big with another man’s child.

She would fade and wither, I didn’t care.

I would still go mad with tenderness…

at the mere sight of her face.

Lolita…
