為了買瓶飲料，我今天選擇了一條不同的路線，走向北投阿姨家的臨時小窩
那是一個穿過北投站帶狀公園，晃身揮別樹齡極老的榕樹群們，再跨越兩條冷清馬路的新體驗
然後就在某個轉角，我遇見了一棵非常美麗的植物，他開滿了豔紅的花朵
靜靜站在圍牆的另一側，充分享受著昏黃路燈的洗禮，完全不吝嗇地為自己，為人們綻放他的熱情
看著入迷的同時，也忍不住拍了幾張照片留念
臨走前回頭一望，才發現地上有幾片落下的花瓣，於是我小心地兜在手掌裡，帶回家給阿姨鑑定
才到家，阿姨望向我手中桃紅花瓣，就用反射的口吻回問一句：咦！九重葛！
啊～原來這就是九重葛！我幾乎是用驚呼的聲調，來回應這株讓我留下深刻印象的植物
長這麼大有誰沒聽過九重葛咧？但說真要認得的話，我就完全被打敗了....哈哈～
但也因為這株在月夜街道上綻放的美麗花朵，開啟了我和阿姨今晚的閒聊...
從小阿姨就跟我們特別親，我還記得，以前過年老媽回娘家時，我總是窩在阿姨的房間裡面
看著他收藏的眾多精美繪本，我對繪本的執著，可能就是那時種的根吧！
除此之外，阿姨也很愛看書，這一點興趣跟我不謀而合，所以我跟她實在很有話聊
今天晚上他跑去新北投圖書館借了幾本小說，有丹布朗的"大騙局"，還有夢枕貘的舊書～
阿姨順口反問了我一句：你之前跟我推薦的是不是叫做宮甚麼辛的作家阿？我看了一本很讚耶！
聽到這裡我嚇了一跳，馬上反問是哪一本？
阿姨說，就是"龍眠"阿！
我一聽到馬上彈起來，因為我也才剛看完這本書！真是太巧了！
於是我們就天南地北聊起了小說，這一聊欲罷不能，整整瞎扯了快半小時
中文的書籍，我們互相聊起了彼此的最愛：
從小野的"生煙井","試管蜘蛛"，到朱少麟的"傷心咖啡店之歌"還有"燕子"～
又從"森林三部曲"，聊到碧竹(林雙不)的"大學女生莊南安"
還有吳濁流老前輩的"無花果"和"亞細亞的孤兒"，以及李喬的"寒夜三部曲"...
再從白先勇的"孽子","台北人","孤戀花"，聊到劉克襄的"風鳥皮諾查"
最後發現，在金庸的眾多著作當中，我們最愛的都是"俠客行"以及"雪山飛狐","飛狐外傳"
但我們也承認，近年來好看的中文小說真的越來越少了！
其他歐美書籍的話，我們從"嘔吐","瘟疫","基督山恩仇記"，聊到喬斯坦賈德的"蘇菲/西的世界"和"紙牌的祕密"
還有"生命中不可承受之輕"，以及艾可的"符科擺" (我們一致認為這本書鬼打牆般的難念～)和"玫瑰的名字"
丹布朗的"達文西密碼" 和 "天使與魔鬼"(這本書讓我在捷運上落淚！)
伯納 韋伯的"螞蟻三部曲"，以及我之前很讚賞的"第十三個故事"～
另外我們也一致認為，哈利波特系列不如想像中的精彩，所以我甚至沒看完.....哈！
其他的包括"巴別塔之犬" 和讓徐四金聲名大噪的"香水"，都是經典！
還有太多好書了啦！根本講不完.....
但阿姨自從被老一輩日本作家的壓抑和亂倫情結嚇到之後，有好一段時間不碰日文小說
所以受限於阿姨只能去圖書館借閱，日本作家我只介紹他一些舊作～
宮部美辛，東野圭吾，伊阪幸太郎，京極夏彥和村上春樹的"某幾本著作"......
然後更讓我驚訝的是
阿姨話鋒一轉，開始跟我聊漫畫.....我一聽快昏倒
海賊王，獵人，火影，死神他都很喜歡，怪物的動畫他也看過，只是阿姨在抱怨說，這部太血腥了....
聽到這裡，我一整個呆在他家客廳，下巴脫臼掉到地板上........
阿姨的名言是：看漫畫的小孩哪裡會變壞，不會阿！
哈哈～這點我也是舉雙手贊成！
來來來～全部都來吧！來把我口袋裡的摳摳都掏光光吧！
吼～吼～吼～
還有JIRO你明明說過要來台灣的喔！
如果到時候食言的話.......我們可是會爆動的！

【劉孟玲╱台北報導】日本「彩虹樂團」昨天離台，近百名歌迷列隊在機場尖叫歡送，團員們徹底耍酷，點頭示意後快步離去；他們前晚結束演唱後，前往「FiFi茶酒沙龍」慶功，主唱hyde為護嗓，謝絕辣食，吉他手ken情緒特high，聲言：「明年還要來台，挑戰4萬人場地！」
難忘熱情粉絲
彩虹樂團前晚首度在中山足球場開唱後，趕往「FiFi茶酒沙龍」慶功，由於團員們不吃海鮮、辣食，主辦單位點了豆腐、蛋花湯等清淡台菜款待；他們直讚台灣粉絲表現熱情，ken還預約明年將再登「台」表演，希望下次能動員4萬人。
他們昨天下午離台，主辦單位請來近百名工讀生維持秩序，人數與送機歌迷相當，讓機場更加熱鬧，但hyde維持酷勁，戴著墨鏡不發一語，團長tetsu揮手示意，卻害羞低頭。

我覺得這是他幾年來最精彩的季初表現，今年來破個紀錄吧！！加油！！
PS.補一張照片，這兩個人未免也.......尤其是喬巴這個火球男，那表情未免也太"舒坦"了點吧！
A Stoic Presence Silences the Red Sox
By TYLER KEPNER Published: April 12, 2008
http://tinyurl.com/3orzf9
BOSTON — He has never thrown a no-hitter, like Clay Buchholz, or had a shutdown performance in the World Series, like Josh Beckett. He never captured the imaginations of Yankees fans as an electrifying rookie, like Phil Hughes, and he is not as accomplished as Mike Mussina, Andy Pettitte or Curt Schilling.
他不像Buchholz那樣投過無安打比賽，也不像Beckett那樣宰制世界大賽，他也不像Hughes那樣，從菜鳥時期就被賦予期待且充滿想像，他的成就還比不上Mussina、Pettitte，或者是Schilling。
But there is no pitcher in the majors with as many victories as Chien-Ming Wang since the start of the 2006 season. He is efficient and dependable for the Yankees, a quiet, stoic and steady presence in their rivalry with the Boston Red Sox. When the teams met at Fenway Park on Friday for the first time this season, it was Wang who took over.
但王是自2006年球季至今，全大聯盟拿到最多勝的投手。對洋基來說，現在的王不僅有效率而且相當可靠，在與紅襪的對抗上，他的表現沈穩低調，卻非常值得信賴。在週五於芬威球場兩隊本季首次相遇的這場比賽裡，王主宰全場。
Wang pitched a two-hitter in a 4-1 victory before 37,624 fans, the largest crowd at Fenway Park since World War II. Jason Giambi homered for the Yankees and José Molina doubled twice, but Wang was the star.
在二戰以來芬威球場湧進最多觀眾（37624名）的這場比賽裡，王投出兩安打的比賽，帶領洋基贏得4比1的勝利。Giambi為洋基擊出全壘打，Molina也打了兩支二壘打，但是，王才是這場比賽的主角。
“He’s become the ace of our staff, there’s no doubt about it, and tonight he pitched as well as anybody could pitch,” Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said. “He seems to be refining his repertoire on how to attack hitters, and that’s a great thing. Right now, he’s at the top of his game.”
洋基經理Cashman談到：「毫無疑問，王已經是我們的王牌了。今晚表現絕佳，很難有人可以比他表現更好。他彷彿經過再進化一般，焠煉出更多技巧來攻擊打者，這真是一件好事。現在，他的表現真是太棒了。」
Wang used 93 pitches to silence the Red Sox, who had seen 212 pitches Thursday against Detroit. He faced two batters over the minimum, and for eight and two-thirds innings, Boston’s only hit was a fifth-inning homer by J. D. Drew that just eluded Bobby Abreu at the wall in right-center field.
王只用了93球就封鎖住紅襪的打擊，他們週四晚在面對老虎的比賽裡，可是足足打了212個球。整場比賽王也只面對29位打者--比最低限度多兩個；而在八又三分之二局的比賽裡，紅襪僅僅在五局由Drew擊出唯一的一支安打，那是支恰巧閃過Abreu手套出牆的右外野全壘打。
Coco Crisp added a bunt single with two outs in the ninth, but Dustin Pedroia lined to left to end the game. It was the fourth career complete game for Wang, who is 3-0 so far and 41-13 over the past three seasons. He called this start the best of his career.
九局下兩出局後，Crisp終於又打出一支觸擊安打，但是後續的Pedroia的擊球直飛左外野手手套，結束了這場比賽。這是王生涯的第四次完投，他目前三勝零敗，總結過去三季一共41勝13負。王也覺得這是他生涯目前為止最好的一個開季表現。
“I feel especially good about this one because I threw it in Boston, and before, I didn’t do very well in Boston,” Wang said through an interpreter. “So I think this is my best game so far.”
透過翻譯，王說：「我感覺特別滿意，因為今晚的對手是紅襪，而我過去對紅襪的表現並不好。所以我也覺得這是我目前為止投得最好的一場比賽。」
The Yankees and the Red Sox are known for lengthy games, with pitchers nibbling at the corners of the strike zone, hitters swatting fouls and managers churning through bullpens. On Friday, though, Wang neutralized the Red Sox by pounding the zone with sinkers and four-seam fastballs.
眾所周知基襪大戰總是特別冗長，球投得邊邊角角，打者總是打一堆界外球，而教練也常常動用大批牛棚。然而在週五的這場比賽裡，王靠著他的伸卡球與四縫線速球，讓紅襪的這些動作變成徒勞無功。
“They just didn’t look comfortable,” Giambi said. “Boston is almost an exact mirror team as us — guys who take a lot of pitches, take their walks and do a lot of damage by hitting home runs. He threw a lot of strikes and caught them off-guard.”
「他們看來很不好過，」Giambi說：「紅襪隊幾乎就是我們洋基隊的翻版，我們謹慎選球，靠保送上壘，然後揮出全壘打重擊對手。但王投了很多好球，一一解決了他們。」
Wang came into the game with a 6.17 earned run average at Fenway, largely because of the sluggers Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz, who had combined for a .538 average off him. Because of that — and because of the playoff beating he took from the Cleveland Indians last fall —Wang had vowed to change his approach this season.
王過去在芬威球場的表現並不好，防禦率6.17，特別是Ramirez與Ortiz這兩支大棒子合起來打擊率高達五成38。此外，尤其是去年季後賽面對印地安人隊的表現，讓王下定決心本季必定有所改進。
He worked on his slider and changeup in spring training, and though his results were poor then, he used the slider effectively Friday, striking out Ramirez with it in the seventh inning.
春訓時，他特別加強原本表現並不好的滑球與變速球；在週五的比賽裡，他有效地利用滑球在第七局三振了Ramirez。
Wang said he also used more four-seamers than usual, attacking Ortiz with that pitch in the first inning, when Ortiz struck out.His next time up, Ortiz swung at a first-pitch sinker and bounced into a double play.
王提到他比平常用了更多的四縫線速球，用來對付Ortiz，並且在第一局三振了他，而在下一次遭遇時，Ortiz第一球就揮棒，打到了他的伸卡球，造成雙殺。
“We didn't take anything away from him,” the pitching coach Dave Eiland said. “We just added some things to complement him.”
投手教練Eiland說：「我們並沒有改正他什麼，我們只是為他加了點東西，讓他顯得更完整。」
Buchholz, who pitched a no-hitter last September in his previousFenway start, held the Yankees to one hit through four innings. But he walked three in the fifth, and Molina's first double drove in a run.
去年九月在芬威球場先發的Buchholz曾有過無安打的表現，而今晚面對洋基前四局也僅被擊出一支安打。但是到了第五局，他投出三次保送外加Molina的第一支二壘安打，讓他丟掉了一分。
It was a long half-inning, and when Wang returned, he was not sharp. His pitches flattened as his arm angle dropped, and the Red Sox smashed four fly balls. Drew's came with two out and backed Abreu to the warning track.
那半局拖得很長，當王回到投手丘時，狀況有點不穩。他球威盡失，手臂的角度也不對，這一局紅襪就打了四個飛球，包括兩出局後，Drew的飛球讓Abreu退到了警戒區。
Abreu is rarely smooth around walls, and when he leaped, his right shoulder hit the padding on the fence. That brought down his glove a few inches, and Drew's ball grazed the fingertips before landing in the Red Sox bullpen.
Abreu幾乎已經貼著全壘打牆，而當他躍起時，右肩撞到了欄杆。這使得他的手套低了一點，而Drew的飛球就從他的指尖上飛了過去，落到了紅襪的牛棚。
Abreu said he should have made the catch, and he felt bad for missing it. The feeling grew worse as the game went on, the “1” staying stuck in the Red Sox hit column until the very end.
Abreu說他應該可以接到這球的，因此他感到很沮喪。而隨著比賽的進行，眼看紅襪計分版上的安打數始終只有「1」，這種感覺還越來越糟，一直持續到比賽將近結束的時候。
“I saw the innings going and going,” Abreu said. “A lot of things went through my head.”
「眼看著一局一局過去，」Abreu說：「好多想法在我腦海中翻來覆去。」
The Red Sox, meanwhile, rued their missed opportunities in the fifth. Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis had also flied out to Abreu, and Jason Varitek mashed a ball to the warning track in center. But only Drew's went out.
同一時候，紅襪也在懊悔他們沒有把握住五局的機會。Ramirez 與Youkilis的飛球都被Abreu接殺，甚至後來的Varitek也打出中間方向的深遠飛球，但只有Drew的那球夠遠飛了出去。
“There were times in the game when he threw his two-seamer middle, and then it went away and we just got it not quite off the barrel,” Red Sox Manager Terry Francona said. “The game plan was to get it up and stay in the middle of the field, and we did at times. We had nothing to show for it.”
紅襪教練Francona說：「在比賽裡有時候王會投出腰際部位的二縫線球，我們是打中了，但是卻沒辦法把球送出去。計畫是希望把球往上打然後出現落地安打，我們偶而可以做到。但我們今晚沒有表現。」
Buchholz left after six innings with the score tied, 1-1. His replacement was Mike Timlin, who had missed the first 10 games with a lacerated right ring finger. Giambi — 1 for 20 this season, 2 for 17 in his career against Timlin — was the first hitter he faced.
Buchholzw投完六局下場時是一比一平手，然後由傷癒歸隊的Timlin接手，他由於割傷右手無名指，休息了十場比賽。而他面對的第一個打者則是Giambi，本季目前二十個打數只打出一支安打，生涯對戰Timlin也只有17支2的表現。
“I just tried to hit it hard, nothing special,” Giambi said. “I was just trying to put it in play, because I knew he had good success against me.”
Giambi說：「我只是盡力去打，沒什麼特別的。我只是想把球打出去而已，畢竟我也知道Timlin對上我的表現不錯。」
With a full count, Giambi did much better than he hoped. He launched a fastball onto a platform next to the center field cameras, breaking the 1-1 tie.
然而，Giambi的表現比預期還要好。他把一個快速球打上了看台，就在中外野的攝影機旁，打破了一比一的僵局。
It put a lead in the hands of Wang, a pitcher the Yankees are thrilled to have at the front of their rotation, with no apologies.
這帶給王一分領先，而這位洋基極為倚重也無可取代的卓越投手，也沒有讓大家失望。
