粤读时光，看见生命中嘅光。

最近我睇到一篇有趣嘅粤语文章，
读起身琅琅上口，
我觉得好有意思，
所以想分享俾你。

牛耕田, 马食谷, 老窦揾钱仔享福; 
象行田, 马行日, 过河卒仔无退缩; 
兵杀敌, 将闪缩, 功成身退享俸禄; 
男善变, 女易哭, 贫贱夫妻难和睦; 
流水清, 死水浊, 人望高处无满足; 
冰易化, 钱难蓄, 巧妇难煲无米粥; 
水维生, 土长木, 光合作用叶变绿;
赌易学, 书难读, 赌仔何曾买大屋?
命注定, 运难卜, 三衰六旺好难捉; 
仙洒脱, 凡人俗, 犯规和尚食狗肉; 
阳寿尽, 落阴谷, 生老病死乃定局。
趁宜家，仲能郁，快乐享受要知足，
咪再成日困在屋，儿孙自有儿孙福。

呢段话真系几有道理㗎，
呢段话我最中意嘅一句话系，
趁宜家，仲能郁，快乐享受要知足，
人应该学识及时行乐，
而且应该学识知足，
知足系一种对健康生活特别有益嘅感觉，
知足并唔系叫人放弃努力，
而且学识欣赏自己已经拥有嘅一切，
学识看见拥有嘅嘢嘅珍贵性。

粤读时光，看见生活中嘅光。

Costumbres y Tradiciones de Venezuela

Descubre la magia de la navidad en Venezolana

It was dark, cold and wet. A strong gust of wind was carrying rain in through a broken window. Lightening had struck the window, which exploded and sent shattered glass all over the floor and desk.

Rain was pooling on Superman’s keyboard and he felt drops seeping into his deeper electronics. Severely uncomfortable electric shocks rushed through his body. Wires leading to his CPU had short circuited, preventing any serious damage. 

In response to the short circuit, Superman’s alarm system roared like a lion. It was a built-in feature which informed the user that internal damage had been done. 

“Superman!” cried his owner, who was sitting up in his bed, frightened by the lightning strike. The young man jumped up and ran over to the shattered glass to shield his laptop from the wind and rain. In such an emergency situation, the first thing the owner did was to turn off Superman’s power. He then closed the lid and covered Superman in some clothes so he could attend to the glass and broken window. 

That’s it! I’m done for! I’m dead! Goodbye my sweet owner, my sweet 
simulations! I’ll never again simulate the movement of microwaves through 
circuits and electrical components. My life’s work, my life’s passion, gone… 
Goodbye world… 

And with those final thoughts, Superman powered down into unconsciousness
