1. Author's Quotes:

I bought a piece of sashimi and a piece of teriyaki chicken. The homeless girl was still sitting where she was. When I stepped forward, she was stunned and showed no expression. I asked her what she wanted to eat, chicken or sashimi? She thought about it and said she wanted chicken. I handed it to her. There were cutlery inside. She whispered thank you and I left in a hurry. When I see a beggar, I always feel guilty. At least she wouldn't be hungry tonight.

My thoughts:

When I used to go to school, I would see beggars on the street, and sometimes I would donate one or two yuan, because I didn’t have much pocket money when I was in elementary school, junior high school, and frugality started from that time. start. Looking back on the past, I rarely interacted with homeless people on the street. Rather than protecting myself from being violated, it was more that I was introverted and afraid of dealing with strangers. It was only after college that I gradually became extroverted, and it really changed my personality. It’s difficult, but once you change, you’ll find that nothing is insurmountable.

2. Author's quotations:

Historically, the Chinese were very particular about the rules of dining, and they were very troublesome. Although there are differences in Eastern and Western etiquette, some are universal: don't hook your hands on the back of the chair; don't talk when eating in your mouth; don't point with your knife and fork; avoid picking your teeth with your fingers; don't use your hands to eat chicken legs or steaks ; At the dining table, don’t spread your wings too wide like a big bird; don’t lean back or tilt your chair.

My insights:

If I teach my children about dining etiquette and just talk about the truth, sometimes they will become "more arrogant". Instead of promoting and popularizing food culture, it is better to talk about how I can be good. Upbringing, how to taste delicious food, let children know how to cherish it. Most people nowadays cannot chew slowly. If I order noodles when I go out to eat, my colleagues will be faster than me, so I must chew a few more mouthfuls. Only then was he willing to swallow it, not so much because he was afraid that he would not chew it thoroughly, but rather to bite the bullet and eat it.

3. Author's quotations:

Every time I go back to Exeter College, I always go to sit in its back garden. In front of the long wooden bench, there is a red carpet, unique to Exeter, spread on the ground casually. In summer and autumn, blankets can be spread on the lawn to lie down on. You can put it on your legs in winter and spring to keep out the cold. Like it or not, Oxford is all about details, some practical, some narcissistic, some artificial.

My insights:

Imagining the comfortable feeling of the author sleeping on a blanket spread on the lawn will surely inspire an explosion of inspiration and ideas. This kind of experience is my kind of experience. Ordinary people can't understand it. Now that we can't travel and we are at home on weekends, how can we create a sense of artistic conception? Meditation music can mobilize your own hormones.

4. Author's Quotations:

According to Mr. Yang Jiang's recollection, when Qian Zhongshu first arrived in Oxford, he fell, kissed the ground in Oxford, and knocked out most of his front teeth.

My thoughts:

Secretly kissing Mother Earth needs to be punished. Breaking a front tooth is not pleasant. Not only will the air leak and the face be disfigured, but the ink in the stomach will not be squeezed out, and the brain will not be squeezed out. The essence of it still exists, the pioneer of the times, the suave, the people who are associated with Oxford are all masters, and Teacher Zhang will benefit from it for life.

5. Quotations from the author:

Many books have stories, including the owner’s signature, address and phone number, occasion and message for donating the book, reading notes, family letters, love letters, and newspaper clippings included in the book. , bills, receipts, are all details of strangers’ lives. The most surprising thing is to find a signed copy by the author. Hunting for old books is a disease that is difficult to cure. It has only been two weeks since I arrived in Oxford, and there are already more than 10 tomes on the dormitory bookshelf, all of which were purchased from the Oxfam used bookstore.

My thoughts:

? If you didn’t go to a used bookstore, you wouldn’t know there are so many books in the world? Just looking at the cover and admiring the pictures and titles will make your mind wander. No time is all nonsense, but you just refuse to squeeze it out. You have obtained tens of thousands of e-books on the platform, but you have not read a few of them in a year. You are really embarrassed to say it, so you often encounter situations where you want to express that you don’t know what to do.

? However, during the epidemic, we should go out less often. E-books can save our generation who have been staying at home for a long time. We should read more to broaden our horizons and improve our cognitive structure. If we have the opportunity, we must join some offline book clubs to share our experiences.

6. Quotes from the author:

When I was transferring to the subway, my phone fell and the entire screen shattered, like cracks in the dry land, like dense capillaries. We are bound to a dependency relationship with our mobile phones. On the subway back home in London, my hand involuntarily touched my mobile phone in my pocket. The screen was broken and the hair was scratched, which was as bad as my mood.

My thoughts:

This passage makes people feel distressed. When you are away from home, your mobile phone is the only way to contact you at critical moments, which shows that the mobile phone used by the author at that time has either not reached the level of Today's quality requirements for smartphones mean that they are easy to break, or they may fall too high and hit the screen at the right angle. According to the author, the full screen shattering means that both of these situations are possible. It seems that you need to replace it with a decent phone case. And get rid of the habit of holding your mobile phone in your hand all the time. Even if your clothes are thin in summer, you should wear clothes with pockets and zippers. Don't put it in your jacket pocket near your heart. It can be anywhere else.

Later, the author revealed in the text that he purchased an Apple mobile phone, and the repair cost was high. He mentioned that the screen was broken the year before 2017, indicating that the purchase time should not be later than 2016. It’s hard to say whether the quality of the phone is good or not. The phone I am still using has accidentally dropped it on the ground several times. Fortunately, the screen was not broken, but the battery performance declined during use.

7. Author's Quotes:

Compared with the above-ground bus, I prefer the subway, precisely because it is closed and crowded, and the humanity of the sardine can is more realistic. When traveling around the world, as long as there is a subway in any city, I will take it at least once. After riding the London Underground for nearly 20 years, I feel that it is primitive but warm. The lack of mobile phone signal underground makes it perfect.

My thoughts:

The role of the subway now is to alleviate ground traffic congestion. Xuzhou Line 3 is now nearing completion, and other lines are under construction. Although this year and for some time to come, Buildings are everywhere, affecting the appearance of the city. During the off-season of the epidemic, few tourists came to Xu. Taking this opportunity to repair the subway, renovate unfinished buildings, and create more humane tourist attractions, future development is just around the corner. . I will take the subway more often in the future and have purchased paper books.

8. Author's quotations:

The return ship sailed on the Adriatic Sea. The bright moon is in the sky, hanging on the dark blue sea. We were on the bow, drinking beer, eating ham, and looking up at the stars. I envy Italians, they know the true meaning of happiness best.

My thoughts:

I have never been on a boat. I rarely traveled in the past. I have never thought of looking up at the stars at home, so it is no wonder that I am not down-to-earth enough to do things. It’s easy to give up halfway. At a certain moment, when I reflect on myself, I always feel that something is missing. What I am missing is a wonderful experience in life.

9. Author's quotations:

Time wears plumpness into dryness, youth into malaise, the spring of life slowly drains out, and turns into dust to breed life again.

Author's Quotes:

Time is ruthless, only true love in the world can make life meaningful. Living to old age and finally passing away enjoys more happiness in the world than those who have not yet lived to the age they want. As a young person, it is hard to say whether there will be any surprises in the future, so I have not considered long-term plans for the time being. The plan is for up to one year. The important thing is to arrange small plans. You have not been exposed to many new things and live leisurely in your own little world day after day. Isn’t it a bit self-deceiving?

10. Author's Quotes:

When reading people and things, the first memory is crucial, or it may affect a lifetime. Sometimes it is true knowledge, sometimes it is prejudice, and sometimes it is just deep perception. At the end of April 1984, U.S. President Ronald Reagan visited China and was invited to give a speech at Fudan University. This was an event that affected my view of the world.

My insights:

Going to a good university will benefit you throughout your life. Think about yourself in an ordinary university. There is no guidance from experts. At first, state-owned enterprises and units were unwilling to let go of their time, but due to laziness and lack of progress, they still retreated to change and innovate. At the end of 2000, I changed my mind. I decided to do something meaningful while I was still young.
