To all the girls--致女孩们

ATTN: all the girls

 

Dears,

 

You should have the ability to survive by yourself instead of lying on your lovers.

Never think that degree is nothing. Not all the talents have high degrees, but without degrees it is impossible to catch opportunities.

 

Gorgeous and pretty appearance cannot last forever, but minds, spirits, thoughts and knowledge do. They are of paramount importance. Never make a fuss about nothing.

 

Girls, I’d like you to believe in those tired words like warmness, happiness, trust, dignity and will. Never to be dismayed, empty and confused. Never hurt yourself and others.

 

Learn to control your feelings. Not every guy fits you. Don’t be attracted by the simulated cool and special. Those are only the excuses to the guys who have nothing to do. The real cool only exists in the inner hearts.

 

Girls, you should have strong wills and indelible faiths. Say that I love the world not only when you are in the ivory tower but also when you know how dirty, evil and cruel it is outside.

 

Girls, learn to love yourselves and live a happy life. Never complain about the flying time but treasure it as it is so short.

 

You may have a rest sometimes but never look around. Choose a way for yourself and never turn back. Ask yourself what you are doing when you are confused. Cry when you feel sad and wronged. Wash your face and smile to yourself afterwards.

 

Set a target for yourself and Make plans for it. Remember to look at the sky as well as the road.

 

Whenever others ask you how many times you have been in love, just tell them only twice. Once is that he loves you but you don’t love him and the other one is in contrary.

 

Sweet love is only in the next time. Never give the chance to let a guy hurt you twice. Never believe in the promise made in the bed. Don’t see virgins as too serious but keep your heart a “virgin”.

 

Never feel ashamed because of your desires and never ever tolerate men’s insults. Believe me, girls, there are lots of men in the world, even more than frogs.

 

Don’t say the word “love” too hasty except the guy is the one you love very much and he loves you in the same way.

 

Never after the man who is looking for a girl that is similar to his ex-girlfriend, his mother or his sister.

Never fall into love with loafers, old or pure men.

Never be together with a bad man.

Never be moved when a man flirts with you.

Never be together with a man who never introduces you to his friends.

Never contact with the man actively if he doesn’t contact with you any more.

Never trust the person who plays tricks on love affairs.

Never curse the man when departing.

Never tear photos and dairies, burn letters because of separation, which only happens in boring love soap operas.

Never be the woman carrying a luggage slipping from one boyfriend’s home to another at night.

 

Ask the man to call your name if he only calls you “baby”.

Believe in love and trust that there is still a good and unmarried man looking for you.

Don’t say no man is good.

Love material comforts in an appropriate way and always remember that inner heart is the most important.

Don’t look down upon laboring peoples.

Don’t doubt friendship only after being betrayed by your friends.

Forgive warbs.

Be happy, be active, be strong, be kind and sometimes be tough.

The last but not least forgive all the people in the world, including yourself.

海角七号-七封情书(Seven love letters from Cape No.7)

 引用

海角七号-七封情书 (Seven love letters from Cape No. 7)
  (1)第一封信
  1945年12月25日。
  友子
  请原谅我这个懦弱的男人
  从来不敢承认我们两人的相爱
  我甚至已经忘记
  我是如何迷上那个不照规定理发
  而惹得我大发雷霆的女孩了
  友子
  你固执不讲理、爱玩爱流行
  我却如此受不住的迷恋你
  只是好不容易你毕业了
  我们却战败了
  我是战败国的子民
  贵族的骄傲瞬间堕落为犯人的枷
  我只是个穷教师
  为何要背负一个民族的罪
  时代的宿命是时代的罪过
  我只是个穷教师
  我爱你,却必须放弃你 
Letter 1    

Tomoko,

Please forgive my cowardice,

I dare not admit we were in love,

I even forget how I become obsessed with that rebellious girl who upset me all the time…

 

Tomoko,

You were stubborn and vain,

But I couldn’t help being crazy for you.

You graduated from the school when we lost the war,

We were losers,

Our aristocratism is no more…

 

I’m nothing but a poor teacher,

Why should I be the scapegoat?

I have nothing to do with the war,

I’m but a poor teacher.

I love you, but I have to leave you.


     (2)第二封信
  第三天。
  该怎麼克制自己不去想你
  你是南方艳阳下成长的学生
  我是从飘雪的北方渡洋过海的老师
  我们是这麼的不同
  为何却会如此的相爱
  我怀念艳阳…我怀念热风…
  我犹有记忆你被红蚁惹毛的样子
  我知道我不该嘲笑你
  但你踩著红蚁的样子真美
  像踩著一种奇幻的舞步
  愤怒、强烈又带著轻挑的嬉笑…
  友子,我就是那时爱上你的…
 

Letter 2

The 3rd day,

How could I stop myself from thinking about you?

You are a student from the sunny South, while I am a teacher from the snowy North.

We are so different.

But why do we love each other so much?

I miss the sunshine and the warm winds.

 

I remember you were upset by the ants,

I know I shouldn’t laugh at you,

But the way you stamped on the ants…

It fascinated me!

It was as if you were dancing with anger and airing joyfulness.

Tomoko,

That was when I fell into love with you…

 
 (3)第三封信
  多希望这时有暴风
  把我淹没在这台湾与日本间的海域
  这样我就不必为了我的懦弱负责
  友子
  才几天的航行
  海风所带来的哭声已让我苍老许多
  我不愿离开甲板,也不愿睡觉
  我心里已经做好盘算
  一旦让我著陆
  我将一辈子不愿再看见大海
  海风啊,为何总是带来哭声呢?
  爱人哭、嫁人哭、生孩子哭
  想著你未来可能的幸福我总是会哭
  只是我的泪水
  总是在涌出前就被海风吹乾
  涌不出泪水的哭泣,让我更苍老了
  可恶的风
  可恶的月光
  可恶的海
  十二月的海总是带著愤怒
  我承受著耻辱和悔恨的臭味
  陪同不安静地晃荡
  不明白我到底是归乡
  还是离乡!
 

Letter 3

How I wish a storm would come now,

and drown me in the ocean between Taiwan and Japan.

Then I won’t have to be responsible for my cowardice.

Tomoko,

I’ve been sailing for several days,

The weeps brought by the sea wind age me already.

I don’t want to leave the deck or go to bed,

I’ve made up my mind.

Once I land, I’ll no longer see the ocean.

Sea wind, why do you always bring the weeps?

They weep for being in love, for marring someone or giving birth,

I weep when I think of you marrying someone else.

But the sea wind dries my tears before they drop…

I can’t cry with tears, which ages me even more.

Curse the wind!

Curse the moonlight!

Curse the sea!

 

The December sea is filled with anger,

I tolerate the shame and regrets accompanied by uneasiness,

Not sure I’m going home,

or leaving home...

 
    (4) 第四封信
  傍晚,已经进入了日本海
  白天我头痛欲裂
  可恨的浓雾
  阻挡了我一整个白天的视线
  而现在的星光真美
  记得你才是中学一年级小女生时
  就胆敢以天狗食月的农村传说
  来挑战我月蚀的天文理论吗?
  再说一件不怕你挑战的理论
  你知道我们现在所看到的星光
  是自几亿光年远的星球上
  所发射过来的吗?
  哇,几亿光年发射出来的光
  我们现在才看到
  几亿光年的台湾岛和日本岛
  又是什麼样子呢?
  山还是山,海还是海
  却不见了人
  我想再多看几眼星空
  在这什麼都善变的人世间里
  我想看一下永恒
  遇见了要往台湾避冬的乌鱼群
  我把对你的相思寄放在其中的一只
  希望你的渔人父亲可以捕获
  友子,尽管他的气味辛酸
  你也一定要尝一口
  你会明白…
  我不是抛弃你,我是舍不得你
  我在众人熟睡的甲板上反覆低喃
  我不是抛弃你,我是舍不得你
 

Letter 4

Evening, we are on the sea of Japan,

My head ached badly today.

I hate this thick fog,

as it blocked my sight during the day.

But the stars are beautiful.

Remember when you were in 7th grade,

you challenged my lunar eclipse theory with the myth of Moon being eaten?

I’ll tell you another scientific truth.

Do you know the stars we are seeing now are the lights reflected from billions of light-years away?

Wow, billions of light-years away!

And we haven’t seen them until now.

In billions of light-years, what will Taiwan and Japan become of?

Mountains and seas will be still there,

but the people will be gone…

I wanna take another glimpse at the sky,

in this changeable world,

I want to see what eternity is…

 

I met a group of grey mullet heading to Taiwan for the winter.

I leave my love to you to one of them.

May your fisherman father catch it!

Tomoko,

Though it tastes bad, you have to try it anyway.

You’ll understand that I didn’t mean to leave you.

I’m moaning on the deck at night…

that I didn’t mean to leave you…

 

    (5) 第五封信
  天亮了,但又有何关系
  反正日光总是带来浓雾
  黎明前的一段恍惚
  我见到了日后的你韶华已逝
  日后的我发秃眼垂
  晨雾如飘雪,覆盖了我额上的皱纹
  骄阳如烈焰,焚枯了你秀发的乌黑
  你我心中最后一点余热完全凋零
  友子…
  请原谅我这身无用的躯体。
 

Letter 5

A new day comes, but who cares?

Sunlight only brings thick mist anyway.

I saw before dawn the aged you from the future,

and the aged me from the future.

The morning mist covers my wrinkles on the forehead,

the sun scorches your black hair.

I’ve lost you completely…

Tomoko,

please forgive the cowardly me…

 
     (6) 第六封信
  海上气温16度
  风速12节、水深 97米
  已经看见了几只海鸟
  预计明天入夜前我们即将登陆
  友子…
  我把我在台湾的相簿都留给你
  就寄放在你母亲那儿
  但我偷了其中一张
  是你在海边玩水的那张
  照片里的海没风也没雨
  照片里的你,笑得就像在天堂
  不管你的未来将属於谁
  谁都配不上你
  原本以为我能将美好回忆妥善打包
  到头来却发现我能携走的只有虚无
  我真的很想你!
  啊,彩虹!
  但愿这彩虹的两端
  足以跨过海洋,连结我和你
 

Letter 6

The temperature is 16 degrees in the sea,

with a wind of 12 kilometers/hour in a depth of 97 meters.

I’ve already seen some seabirds.

It is expected that we will land tomorrow evening.

 

Tomoko,

I asked your mom to keep my album for you but I took one of them away.

The photo is the one you played with the water in the sea.

There was no wind, no rain and you smiled brightly as if you were in the paradise.

No matter whom you will belong to in the future,

no one is good enough for you.

I thought I could take away all the good memories, but finally find that what I’ve taken away is in vain…

I miss you so much!

Oh, rainbow!

May the rainbow is long enough to cross the sea to link you with me…

 
     (7) 第七封信
  友子,我已经平安著陆
  七天的航行
  我终於踩上我战后残破的土地
  可是我却开始思念海洋
  这海洋为何总是站在
  希望和灭绝的两个极端
  这是我的最后一封信
  待会我就会把信寄出去
  这容不下爱情的海洋
  至少还容得下相思吧!
  友子,我的相思你一定要收到
  这样你才会原谅我一点点
  我想我会把你放在我心里一辈子
  就算娶妻、生子
  在人生重要的转折点上
  一定会浮现…
  你提著笨重的行李逃家
  在遣返的人潮中,你孤单地站著
  你戴著那顶…
  存了好久的钱才买来的白色针织帽
  是为了让我能在人群中发现你吧!
  我看见了…我看见了…
  你安静不动地站著
  你像七月的烈日
  让我不敢再多看你一眼
  你站得如此安静
  我刻意冰凉的心,却又顿时燃起
  我伤心,又不敢让遗憾流露
  我心里嘀咕,嘴巴却一声不吭
  我知道,思念这庸俗的字眼
  将如阳光下的黑影
  我逃他追…我追他逃…
  一辈子
  我会假装你忘了我
  假装你将你我的过往
  像候鸟一般从记忆中迁徙
  假装你已走过寒冬迎接春天
  我会假装…
  一直到自以为一切都是真的!
  然后…
  祝你一生永远幸福!
 

Letter 7

Tomoko,

I’ve landed already.

I finally landed on the broken country after seven days sailing.

However, I start to miss the sea…

Why is the sea always the destinations of hope and death?

 

This should be my last letter.

Later I will post them.

Though the sea can not tolerate my love, it should tolerate my missing!

 

Tomoko,

You should receive my missing so that you would forgive me bit by bit.

I think I will keep you in my heart for a whole life, even if I get married or have children.

The images will recall in the turning points of my life…

You took heavy luggage and escaped away home,

with a white knitting hat which you bought by the money you’ve saved long time,

standing alone in the crowds to let me find you easily!

I found you…I saw you…

You were like the burning sun in July, makes me dare not to look you again.

You were so quite and peaceful.

My deliberately cold heart ignited again!

I was sad but dared not to disclose my regrets.

I whispered but dared not to say anything.

I know, missing will be like the shadows in the sun,

escape away when I am chasing.

 

I will pretend that you’ve forgotten me for a whole life,

pretend you’ve removed the memories of you and me, just like the migration of birds,

pretend you are welcoming the spring after a chilly winter…

I will pretend…until I think everything is true.

And then, may you happy forever!

Interviews in the past three years

面经面经面经...大家都会在接到公司通知面试的电话后上网查查面经,在此与大家分享下与各公司“交手”的经历。
 
1.HSBC
HSBC应该是我面试过的(现今为止)感觉最规范的公司(个人感觉),只是他们的招聘历程太长,大多数人会觉得拿他的OFFER得经历遥远的等待。
HSBC先会对应聘者进行电面,电面后合适将会通知到HSBC的HR Office笔试,我是在广州,去的是相当气派的天河城大厦(曾向我报怨说他是在广州最好的写字楼拿最低工资的朋友也在这办公)。
首先是笔试,有规定的时间,每位应聘者的试题都不一样,主要是测试英语水平,内容恕不能透露,交上试题后,他们会在15分钟内阅完并告知进入下一轮面试的人选名单。有点残酷,不过试题比较简单,不用担心!
然后会告知各位面试时间......
面试分为四部分:
1.HR向应聘者介绍HSBC
2.应聘者介绍自己的工作经历等
3.应聘者与HR进行一些交流(主要是回答HR的问题)
4.应聘者提问
 
全程英语!口语不好的可要注意啦!加紧练习吧!期间小小佩服了一下HSBC的HR,英语口语是相当不错的!而且很nice! 主要要注意的是要将自己的工作经历介绍得详细些,越详细越好!随后HR会问些问题,有些与经历有关,最喜欢让你举例,有些就是随性的,当然少不了经典的Why HSBC。
 
之后会让应聘者问些问题。去前听说HSBC的HR喜欢比较SURPRISE的问题,最好是能给三个,要不然要想入下一轮就比较难了。
 
下一轮是与直属上司。这一轮过后一周左右HR会发邮件告知是否会进入下一轮,如果没有,会告知原因(比较人性化的地方)。
整个过程下来要一个月左右,祝大家好运了!如果不能等待的人最好还是别去试!:-) 不然到时即使拿到OFFER也只能小小遗憾下......
 
2.Wrigley
美资企业,一进去就感觉有活力!广州总部座落在珠江新城,非常漂亮的写字楼!喜欢他们办公室里的“空中花园”,让人感觉很舒服!招聘流程可以在他们的网站上面看到,不多说!
有试题,笔试(翻译),也是即刻告知是否进入下一轮面试。在此小小透露下笔试题,其实跟他们公司网站上的资料有关,所以去前要花点功夫研究研究,以下是我所做的翻译题。

Just last week a powerful earthquake struck southwestern China leading to terrible loss of life and leaving approximately 4.8 million people with homes that are severely damaged or completely destroyed.

The local Wrigley China team was quick to offer support last week with a RMB 1 million donation ($140,000) to the Red Cross Society of China which quickly mobilized to assist. On behalf of the global Wrigley team, the Wrigley Company Foundation also immediately provided an increased match of an additional RMB 1.5 million ($220,000) to the American Red Cross relief efforts in China and provided in partnership with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies which is leading the international appeal for assistance.

“On behalf of our Wrigley associates in China and around the world, and the Wrigley Company Foundation, I’d like to extend our deepest sympathies to the people affected by the earthquake disaster in Sichaun province,” said Duke Petrovich, Wrigley’s Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer who also serves as President of the Wrigley Company Foundation. “We hope that this grant will make a difference in helping people rebuild their lives.”

Also, in recognition of the generous spirit of the worldwide Wrigley team, the Foundation will double match all individual contributions made to the China relief efforts. The general matching contribution will be made to the Red Cross, and we will work with local country managers to request all international associate contribution data be reported back, so it can be recognized as part of this special global matching contribution.

Associates in the U.S. should continue to use the Foundation’s matching grant program, and all contributions made during the second quarter to any qualified organization supporting the earthquake relief efforts in China will not count toward your annual maximum.

We have also heard from associates who would like to provide a personal contribution directly to the over 50 Wrigley associates in China whose homes were destroyed or damaged. We are currently assessing the appropriate channel to provide such contributions and will send a follow-up communication shortly with further direction.

Additionally, the Wrigley Company Foundation has responded to a special appeal from UNICEF to support the emergency relief efforts in Myanmar. As you know, a powerful cyclone hit the country earlier this month resulting in devastating loss of life – and there is continued threat of disease and lack of basic necessities.

The Wrigley Company Foundation has provided a $100,000 emergency grant to support UNICEF – which is the lead agency on the ground for water, sanitation, hygiene, nutrition, education and child protection and works in partnership with other UN agencies, international and national non-governmental organizations as well as the government of Myanmar.

We know that we are united in our care and concern for the victims of these natural disasters, and feel privileged to provide support on behalf of the worldwide Wrigley team.

在此重申,各公司的HR问的问题都会很着重你的经历,是不是在撒谎问几下就知道了,特别是举例和工作进行细节,所以去前功课要做到位。Wrigley的HR很nice, 我觉得是这样的,而且脸上会一直挂着笑容。

可惜我的工作经历与他们不大稳合,所以无幸进入第二轮面试。

3. Twoit(Two) Group

很负责任地在此说一下,真的是比较滥的公司, 还是德企,我...服了他们了!连给个offer都可变来变去的!要不是实在找不到工作真的不要去,浪费时间!

4. 其它

忘记名字了,记起来再来写吧!
