圣诞节和新年都过去了, 同事们都回来上班了, 身体和心思都回来了, 开始踏踏实实正常工作和生活.
我注意到大部分年青人开始做的第一件严肃的生活中的大事, 或者说, The first thing of their New Year resolutions, 就是去健身房运动, 几乎天天去, 回来还相互交流减肥信息, 互相鼓励.
下面这首诗就是一个男同事发的EMAIL:
Twas the month after Christmas, 
and all through the house,
Nothing would fit me,
not even a blouse. The cookies I'd nibbled,
the chocolate I'd taste
At the holiday parties
had gone to my waist. When I got on the scales
there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store
(less a walk than a lumber), I'd remember the marvellous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt...
I said to myself, as I only can,
"You can't spend a winter, disguised as a man!"
So, away with the last of the sour cream dip.
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie, not even a lick. 
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie.
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore...
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet. |
