放了兩週的大假，我有種漂浮的感覺，我在想失眠是不是和無所事事有關，其實上週四新的作業已經發下來，這次的作業是要為曼哈頓默片電影節設計一組四張的海報，但是老師要我們學習畫人像和使用兩個顏色的組合，所以我們要把重點放在畫五個出名的默片演員，包括卓別林、勞來哈台、奇頓和洛依德。 After two weeks of break, I felt I was drifting. I even wondered if my insomnia had anything to do with the fact that I wasn't up to much. In fact, we got the new brief last Thursday. This time we have to design a set of four posters based on portraiture and

過了一個星期失眠的生活，在尋找療方的過程中看清楚了許多之前沒看到的小細節，因此自我做了調整，雖然我也無法說將來的日子裡會不會再發生，但起碼現在的我又是嶄新的人了。 I had a week of insomnia. When looking for remedies, the search shed light on many details I hadn't got to see before. Thus I made some self-adjustment. I can't tell for sure if insomnia will occur again in the days to come, but at least I am a new person now. 要特別謝謝一直幫助我的人，睡眠不足最怕的就是對自我和世界的不確定感，還好有好多在遠方的朋友和家人，

昨晚又下雪了，如果說之前住的一樓是白人男孩區，現在住的三樓是中國女孩區，每當下雪時，女孩們就會興奮地聚集在外頭說說笑笑到半夜，我不介意啦，因為再嫌下去我真的就是惹人厭的歐巴桑了，今天和PK說時，他回答：他們只有二十歲啊！你太認真了，一點都不想玩樂！也許這就是我的問題。 It snowed again last night. When I lived on the first floor, I was surrounded by white boys. Now on the third floor, my neighbors are Chinese girls. Whenever it snows, the girls will gather outside talking and laughing til midnight in excitement. I don't

最近幾天又失眠了，不過我都和自己說，我整個就是過得太舒服了，很多人羨慕我的奢侈。所以清晨四點多我爬起來寫信給主修心理學的瑪西亞和中醫師的法毅，想從生理和心理的方面研究我的症狀。再滾回床上時已別無所求，心想我也可以迎接太陽，突然我看到很多閃亮的小星星，都是我不睡覺用多出來的時間可以做的事，結果就這麼昏過去了。 I've had insomnia in the past few days. I tell myself my problem is that my life is just too heavenly. Many people envy me for such a luxury. So at around 4 am I got up to write email to Marcia, who was a psychology major, and Song,

今天去郵局時排到一個新的行員，他戴著橘色鏡框，直對我微笑，如果我沒聽錯，他居然看著我一頭亂髮說：我喜歡你的髮型。真是個品味獨特的先生。 When I went to the post office today, I was served by a clerk whom I had never talked to. He wears glasses with orange frames. It was fun that he kept smiling at me. If I didn't get him wrong, he looked at my tousled hair and said he likes my hairstyle. I bet he surely has a very unique taste.  前兩個星期德瑞克做簡報時說：

從國王十字架地鐵站前晃過去看到熟悉的中文報紙，我覺得卡麥隆也應該要把我召喚過去稱讚一下，因為我很認真地融入倫敦的生活。 As I walked past by King's Cross underground station, I caught a glimpse of the Chinese newspaper. I think Cameron owes me a big compliment because I make every effort possible to become part of London.  著名的聖潘克拉車站，是通往歐洲其它國家的門戶。 This is the renowned St. Pancras station.

格林威治這個地方以它的海洋歷史聞名，從十五世紀開始成為王室的居住地，都鐸王朝的數名君主都出生於此。之後在英國內戰沒落，便改建為水手皇家海軍醫院。在1873年又改為皇家海軍學院，一直持續到1998年。目前的建築則屬於格林威治大學和三位一體音樂學院。 Greenwich is known for its maritime history. Since the 15th century, the town became the site of the royal palace. Many rulers of the Tudor Dynasty were born here. The palace fell into disrepair during the English Civil War, and was later rebuilt as the Royal Navy Hospital

下雪的夜晚，天空是橘色的，昨天半夜還可以聽到年輕人們瘋狂的叫聲，許多人等這場雪很久了‧‧‧ On snowy nights, the sky is orange. Late into last night I could hear the young people scream with joy. The snow had been long awaited...  今天來去看看雪中的米亞田野公園。 I went to Myatt's Fields Park in the snow this afternoon.   一進公園就遇到打雪仗的孩子。 As soon as I walked into the park, I saw two kids playing hard in the snow...

昨天去超市買到了上次老先生推薦的華伯頓牌脆皮土司。 Yesterday I finally found the Warburtons crusty white toast recommended by the old man whom I had come across several weeks earlier in the supermarket.  就超市等級的白土司來說是真的很不錯喔！吃起來還頗有質感的，真是謝謝老先生了。 Compared with the other white toast available in supermarkets, I give it a 9 out of 10. It tastes like bread that can be found in decent bakeries. Many thanks to

出太陽的星期六一定要趕著出去玩，沿路和小黃打招呼！ I can't miss the opportunity of going out for fun on a sunny Saturday. I say hello to Yellow on my way to the bus stop.  在公車上遇到一名老人，一上車就很神秘地說：明天不會有巴士或火車通行，你們知道為什麼嗎？因為今天晚上就會下雪了！說得很像世界的盡頭就要到了，讓我有點小擔心地盤算今晚回家之前要去添購雜貨。 On the bus ride I run into an old man. As soon as he gets on the bus, he declares the news in a very mysterious manner: There won't be train

常常坐在小房間裡看著很多小角落，越看越有感覺就不禁想要隨手畫下來，這是我冬季的門後風景。 Often when I sit in my little room, I will gaze at the unremarkable corners. The more I look at them, the more I feel they want to say something. Then I can't help doing sketches of them. This is the scenery behind my door in winter.  今天我訂的浴室三兄弟都到齊了，因為英國版的包裝和台灣買到的不一樣，為了研究視覺效果和字體，我為它們畫了一張團體照‧‧‧左邊兩瓶是新嚐試，我買了專屬不快樂髮質的洗髮精，這用來形容我的頭髮真是生動啊！ Today I got

每天我會坐在窗前畫一個早上的圖，是在小房間裡最美好的時光。 Every morning I sit in front of the windows to draw, which is the best moments I have in the little room.  搭公車經過克萊普頓公園，一片綠意，完全讓人無法想像現在有多寒冷。 I pass by Clapham Common on my bus ride. It is so green that one can hardly imagine how freezing it is now.  貝特希橋往外看的風景。（圖一不是貝特希橋喔！） The scenery seen from Battersea Bridge. (The top image is not Battersea Bridge!)

上學期去了兩次磚塊巷，不過當時並沒有認真拍照或速寫，再加上那附近的貝果很有名，不如趁放大假時趕快去！ I went to Brick Lane twice last term, but I didn't take many photos or do any sketch. Thinking about the famous Beigel Bake, I might as well go during the two-week-long break! 在利物浦車站下車，這裡人潮來來往往。 I get off at Liverpool Station. There are always bustling crowds here.  從上週末開始氣溫開始掉到零度以下，倫敦進入冬季最冷的階段，那亮麗的陽光會騙人的。 Since last weekend, the temperature

今天去郵局寄生日禮物給卡洛，行員說：是哪個國家啊？巴拿馬？巴拉圭？我說：帛琉，他回答：沒有這個國家，我說：這個地方雖然小，但是真的存在。他堅持沒有在電腦名單上的國家是寄不到的，怎麼會這樣呢？在我的想像裡不就往那個地方送去就好了嗎？ Today I went to the post office to mail Carol's birthday gift.

He insisted that there is no postal service to countries not

今天早上去學校的途中遇到了推郵車的阿姨，一身亮紅色很醒目，不禁就給她拍了下來。 On my way to school this morning, I ran into the post-lady. The bright red was so eye-catching that I couldn't help taking a photo of her and her trolley.  想到前幾天佳璇媽說的，英國人是很壓抑的，沒有錯，其實他們內心也有熱火燒著，看這紅色就知道。 I thought of Jade's comment on the Brits--they are rather repressive. Indeed, there is fire burning in them, and you can tell by that loud red color.

今天本來是要去西敏寺，但是搭公車的途中又經過很有中東味的地區─Burwood Place，我忍不住提早下車仔細看看。 I had meant to go to Westminster Abbey today, but on my way there, I passed by Burwood Place, which is a very Arabian area. I couldn't help getting off the bus earlier than planned for a closer look. 所有招牌一定都附上阿拉伯文，如果不說這是倫敦，大家一定會猜中東城市吧！ There are Arabian translations on all bulletin boards.

坎貝爾新路上前往坎貝爾公園的方向有兩座公車車庫，我覺得小方和阿楷要是來到這裡，一定會不肯離開，在速寫之前我早就寄明信片給兩兄弟了。 On Camberwell New Road to Camberwell Green, there are two bus garages. I have the feeling that if Von and Kai could make their way here, they would definitely go all crazy. Before doing the observational sketch, I had mailed a hand-drawn postcard of the imagined garage to the boys. 看起來是很普通的房子，但洞裡面有好大的空間可以停放數十輛巴士。 This looks

你也是一個人睡嗎？一個人旅行一個人看星星 「當秋天遇上秋天」梁心頤 Do you sleep by yourselfDo you travel aloneDo you look at the stars on your own? "When Autumn Meets Autumn" by Lara 在電台聽到這首歌就忍不住把歌詞寫下來，這是我現在生活的寫照。不過這個週末我有三名貴客，是我很期待見到的。 When I heard this song on the radio, I couldn't help writing down the lyrics, which so describe my current life. But I have three guests this weekend, whom I am looking forward to seeing.

星期五是沒有課的，但是今天我們得進畫室交報告，昨晚已經想好放學要去哪裡速寫，前兩週露看我的速寫本時，推薦了立得利路市場給我，一早起床看陽光閃亮亮的，便有了非去不可的念頭。 There is no class on Fridays, but today we had to go into the studio to hand in the essay. Last night I had planned where to go for sketching today. Lou recommended Ridley Road Market to me when she looked at my sketchbook two weeks ago. It was so sunny this morning that I was determined to go.

今天要交上學期的所有作業，所以我又再度大包小包上學去，其實可以拿著畫走在路上讓我感覺很虛榮，經過小車票亭頭一轉，中東老闆又送來飛吻和溫暖的微笑，不要小看這個人喔，在我心裡他是我的坎貝爾小太陽，因此我得把這一刻畫下來。 Today we were supposed to hand in all the assignments for last term, so again I left home with my portfolio and tube. In fact, walking on the streets with my drawings made me feel so vain. When I passed by the ticket booth and turned my head, the owner from the Middle East gave me a kiss

明天就要交一盒六張CD的作業，我們這一組連樣品都沒有，我告訴自己今天無論如何都要心平氣和地做出點什麼東西來，所以早上就進了畫室，結果居然只有我出現，因為小桃找不到我先去了圖書館，但是中午之前兩名小朋友都未出現，不過我們就開心地一路做下去。果然之後小男生來了便說，這不是我要的。過去的兩個星期就是這樣我們才會反反覆覆毫無進展，今日大姐無法再顧及他的情緒，他和小女生用廣東話交談，剛好不開心的字眼被我聽到，我開玩笑地說：那個我聽得懂，你不要隨便說我壞話。其實我沒有很生氣啦，只是他也必須了解我們之前也有這種情緒，走到這個點真的不能只出一張嘴，我們今天做的是人家前幾天就拿出來的進度啊！別人今天拿出來的都是精美的印刷品，我們雖然走的是粗獷的風格，不過老實說，這樣的黑膠唱片盒放在架上真的是個笑話‧‧‧ 總之我和小桃說，我等著明天被老師們狠狠地羞辱一頓，還問，奇怪，我的人生真的很少遭遇到這種情況，

這星期CD封套設計就要收尾了，我必須承認這一次我做得很糟糕，因為沒有堅持，所以除了和組員無法好好溝通，自己也做得不開心。 This week our assignment of the CD cover design is coming to an end. I have to admit that this time I did a very terrible job. Because I wasn't able to stick to my role as a leader, I failed to communicate well with my team members and I was very unhappy doing the drawings. 昨天我和小桃很認真地討論，為什麼我們最後會感受不到畫圖的喜悅，甚至畫不出來，我們試著從原來的小框框裡跳出來，

這幾個星期從畫室回家之後都得花上一些時間調整心情，過去的週末兩天我休養生息，但今天還是有耗損的感覺，不過小桃和我找到可以努力的方向了。 Over the past two weeks I have felt the strong need to adjust my state of mind after coming home from the studio. During the weekend it took me two days to recuperate, but I still felt worn out after staying for a whole day in the studio today. The good news is that Momo and I have found a direction to work in.

想了好幾天要不要搬家，本來有點不情願，但是年輕人的自我控制不知到會維持多久，社監們也都表示三樓的房間會比較安靜，到了昨天我已經接受搬家的決定。 I'd been thinking for a few days if I should move. I was not willing to do it in the beginning, but I have no confidence in the self-discipline of the young people in my block. The managers also hinted that it'll be wiser for me to make the move because the room on the 3rd floor is quieter. Yesterday I accepted the decision

週末與其坐在家裡發霉，我決定常常來個小旅行，今天的目的地是溫莎和伊頓。 Instead of being stuck at home on weekends, I decide to go on outings as often as I can. Today my destination is Windsor and Eton.  這是溫莎城堡的入口，一去就看到圍觀的人潮，他們在等什麼呢？ This is the entrance to Windsor Castle. As soon as I arrive, there are crowds waiting. For what?  很精神抖擻吧！售票口的女警衛說遊行很值得看，我便和其他旅客等這一刻。 Don't you find it cheerful? The female guard at the

今天早上給宜璇寄禮物時，突然很希望沒有過年這回事，因為要等過完年假她才收得到。不過我因為這個任務遇到好幾個令人開心的陌生人，首先在排隊時，有個英國老先生一直對我微笑，後來他忍不住和我講中文，那是一張白人臉孔，卻說著很道地的中文，我想他應該是混血兒，總之我稱讚他中文講得真好，要離開時他對我說：今天天氣變冷了喔。對我來說是好溫暖的問候啊！接著行員（圖左）問我包裹要寄去哪，我答：台灣，他指著旁邊說：就在街角啊！我心裡想，對啊，我為什麼不這麼想呢？ When I sent Patty a gift this morning, I suddenly wish that Chinese New Year didn't exist because she won't get it until the holidays are over.

在坎貝爾到處可見兩種店─理髮店和炸雞店，雖然也有肯德雞和麥當勞，但這些中東人開的炸雞店採低價策略，一餐不到三磅就可以解決。走在路上看見放學的孩子手拿一包炸雞或薯條，就很像我們吃鹽酥雞。 In Camberwell you can find as many barbershops as fried chicken shops. There are also Kentucky and McDonald's, but these fried chicken shops run by immigrants from the Middle East go for the market strategy of low prices. A meal is available at the price of lower than 3 pounds. I often see kids holding a

這兩天的倫敦下著雨，我的身體也進入休眠模式。昨天回家的路上，卻又聽到清亮的鳥叫聲，來自各個角落，令我覺得很不可思議。 It has been raining over the past two days in London. My body decides to take a break along with Mr. Sun. Yet on my way home yesterday, I still heard the beautiful chirping sounds of birds from every corner, which really amazed me.  聽著廣播裡放蔡健雅的歌：活著的味道真好。主持人也接著說：有愛人的能力很好。我要帶著愛去做作業，詩意地過下雨天‧‧‧ I hear Tanya's song played over the radio: It

雖然最近的我不是在最好的狀態，但是我已經消化過自己的問題，請大家不要為我擔心。 Though I am not in the best condition now, I have digested my problems. Please don't worry for me.  這個星期又是每天一包裹，從台灣寄來的滿滿的愛，謝謝蕙玲、派蒂，還有未找到男朋友的子榕，沒關係，我也沒找到。 This week, again, I receive a packet a day from Taiwan and each is filled with warm love. Millions of thanks to Hui-ling, Patty and Jasmine, who hasn't found a boyfriend. I haven't either.  送包裹來的社監很強硬地說：

從上個星期我開始有睡眠問題，月經也兩個月沒來了，這兩週快要和窗外的年輕人對峙。好像在畫外面的世界之前我得先檢視內心的世界。 Since last week I have had sleep problems. The period hasn't come for two months. I am about to start a fight with the young people that always gather outside my windows. It looks like before drawing the outer world I have to look inside first. 和小蕙談過之後，我發現我當學生和工作的人格真的很不同，現在我又回到那個很孤獨的學生身份，儘管我不想，我已經被訓練成要很有戰鬥力，而為了競爭，通常在班上我是沒有很多朋友的，

星期天是我家小妞嘉蕊二十一歲的生日，這可能是我們唯一一次慶生的機會，所以我們要一起做一件很特別的事。早上七點的坎貝爾天還未全亮。 Sunday is Jazel's 21st birthday. This might be her only birthday we can celebrate together, so we'll do something special together. This is Camberwell at 7 am.  沒錯，我們要去莎士比亞的家鄉旅行。雖然告示牌上寫火車準時，但最後車班被取消，我們只好跳上另外一列去伯明翰的火車再轉車。 Exactly. We are traveling to Shakespeare's hometown, Stratford-Upon-Avon. Though it says that the train will

這是我的速寫本最後一頁，在明天去旅行換新速寫本之前，我要記錄宿舍中庭一棵很平凡卻又不平凡的樹。 This is the last page in my sketchbook. Before going on a trip and using a new sketchbook tomorrow, I want to record a very ordinary yet extraordinary tree that once grew in the courtyard of Brooke Hall. 它曾經長得又高又壯，但是它的根部已經滲入整個下水道系統，所以社監只好忍痛把它砍掉。現在的它和中庭看起來都很可悲，不過我會記得它‧‧‧ It used to be tall and strong, but its root had grown all over the sewage

在布達佩斯，某晚卡洛帶我去桃太郎餐廳吃包子和蒸餃，她說每次在辦公室加班，感到疲累寂寞的時候，就會開車去「桃太郎」吃飯，這裡的食物在這幾年裡給了她身心很大的慰藉。 One evening in Budapest, Carol took me to the restaurant Momotaro for eating bao-tze and steamed dumplings. Whenever she feels tired and lonely from working long hours in the office, she will drive there. The food has given her much consolation over the past few years.  那天晚上卡洛決定和做包子的吳師傅說謝謝，讓他知道他如何溫暖了她的心和胃。 That

早上和老師談話之前，收到娜娜的信。然後我就匆匆忙忙地先和語言助教討論報告，再和露討論上學期的作品。 Before having the tutorial this morning, I received Nana's email. Then I rushed off to talk to Isolde about my essay and then with Lou about my works done for last term. 上學期末和德瑞克談話，提到了某個速寫主題，他問速寫本在哪，我說那是我個人的速寫本，和作業無關。他回答：我們對你所有的速寫都有興趣。當下我發現自己和其他同學不同之處在於，我很努力地達到老師的要求，但是我對於經營速寫本沒有花太多心力，而且我對於給別人看速寫本這件事有點不好意思。 At the end of last term when I had the

今早一看到娜娜的留言說每天都要先看我的網誌，我便感受到水果日報記者的熱血和壓力，今天的行程要和我的組員一起聽雷鬼樂構思，我其實沒有空檔可以速寫。 This morning when I read Nana's message on my blog saying that she has to read my blog first every day, I felt the passion churning in my stomach, which I assume that most tabloid journalists understand, and meanwhile, pressure. Today I was going to spend a part of the day listening to reggae music with my team members and

今天是新學期的第一天，想好了這學期的目標，愉快地上學去。 Today was the first day of the new term. I'd thought about my goals this term, so I left for the school in a cheerful mood. 沿途遇到一隻貓，和我們家阿楷一樣想上學，卻只能從二樓和我道再見。 On my way I ran into a cat who'd love to go to school as much as Kai. Well, it could only bid me goodbye from the second-floor window.  經過坎貝爾警局時有點嚇一跳，殺人放火的都被抓進這麼古典的辦公室拷問嗎？ I was surprised when passing by the

下午去亞洲雜貨行買醬料，看到一整櫃熟悉的產品，思鄉的心情就這麼嘩一聲地朝我衝來，加上背景的華語音樂‧‧‧不過我去匈牙利度假不是去假的，現在的我像穿了盔甲，很強韌。 I went to the Asian grocery shop for buying condiments in the afternoon. Standing in front of shelves of familiar sauces, nostalgia for home hit against the shore of my heart. Plus the background Mando-pop, I might have collapsed. But, I didn't go to Hungary for nothing. Now I am clad in armor, as hard as steel.

今天在寫我的每日明信片時，提到寂寞這個話題，自己一個人住真的有很多好處，但是從機場回家有點淒涼。不過我是個drama queen，前幾天明明是和妹妹們在車上有說有笑的，我想我們需要的不是男朋友，而是輛計程車。 Today when I was writing my daily postcard, I thought of the topic of loneliness. There are so many advantages about living alone, but going home from the airport can be a sad ride. But don't trust me, I am a drama queen. The truth is that on our way home the other day, I joked and laughed

前幾天和蔡女士聊天，兩歲半的阿楷就坐在旁邊，我問他要不要去上學，蔡女士說戴尿布的傢伙不能去，他很帥氣地轉過頭說：我等一下就長大了。阿楷現在語言能力溜到不行，說話總是給人驚喜，真是可愛。 A few days ago when I Skyped with Mom, our 2.5-year-old Kai sat next to her. I asked him if he wants to go to school. Mom cut in to say that he can't because he still wears diapers. He turned to her saying in a very dashing way, "I'll grow up pretty soon." Kai's language ability has progressed so much

人喜歡倒數不是沒有原因的，這樣會有種豁出去的快感。我在想如果我把每天都當做在倫敦的最後一天，眼光可能會不同。 There are reasons why we love to count down because in doing that we feel the sensation of letting go of everything. I am wondering if my vision will be different if I treat every day in London as my last day here. 一早起床先來讀個衛報，想不到居然找到2012年布魯塞爾食物嘉年華的消息，有一大特色就是可以在自然歷史博物館裡面對著恐龍化石用餐，昨天小方和阿楷才秀給我看恐龍書呢！要是這兩個傢伙去得了，睡覺都要大笑！沒關係，

雖然旅行的每一天裡已經很努力地整理照片，還是有趕不上進度的時候，今天把布達佩斯天黑後的相片編輯一下，因為夜晚的布城美得驚人，不能錯過！ Though I already did my best every day during my trip to upload the images, there were still times when I fell behind. Today I sorted and edited the photos of Budapest nights.

昨天一路回家的途中，我們感受著回倫敦有否回家的感覺，說實在，不是很強烈。我們在下過雨的半夜到家，我打開信箱時，卻有件事證明這裡怎麼說都是我暫時的家，我收到十五封明信片和信件，加上三張包裹通知。 On our way home from Budapest, we tried hard to find if coming back to London feels like coming home. To be honest, not really. We got home around midnight, when the rain stopped. Before going into my room, I opened the mailbox, and something proved that this is my temporary home. There were fifteen

I cleaned the apartment a little bit in the morning, but I am worried that I didn't do enough.  我是個強勢的客人，到人家家會想要幫主人打掃，卡洛很包容我，我想大部份的人是受不了我的強迫症，真的很感謝卡洛給我這麼多自由。 I am an agressive guest.

明天就要離開布達佩斯了，今天把小方阿楷的禮物寄出，到了郵局還想畫一張電車圖給孩子們，便當作是自己家坐下來很自在地開始畫圖，旁邊的警衛看了很久，似乎很想知道這個女生為何會如此，我離開時和他點點頭，他很害羞地回應我，匈牙利人愛藝術，我賺到一點點好處。 I am leaving Budapest tomorrow. Today I mailed out Von and Kai's gifts.

在布達佩斯兩個星期了，玩到有點要感冒，不過今天的陽光很炫爛，一定要出門做日光浴。 I've been staying in Budapest for two weeks, and I think I am coming down with a cold. But the sunshine today is so bright that I have to go out for a sun bath. 每天都對自己說要少拍點照片，卻又不想對不起這個城市，這是甜蜜的負擔。 Every day I keep telling myself that I should refrain from taking too many photos, but meanwhile, I don't want to miss any beautiful shot this city offers.

托卡洛的福，我們在新年晚上到五星級飯店Corinthia聽布達佩斯弦樂團的市內交響樂。 Thanks to Carol, we attended the concert by the Budapest Strings Chamber Orchestra in the five-star Corinthia Hotel. 今天的賓客都穿著正式，卡洛說應該有很多來頭不小的人物。 The guests today were well-dressed.

在歐洲這麼輕鬆地就從一國旅行到另外一國。斯洛伐克南邊鄰匈牙利，是個人口約五百萬人、面積約四萬九千平方公里的小國家。 In Europe it is a piece of cake to travel from one country to another. Slovakia is bordered by Hungary to the south. It is a small country with a population of 5 million and an area of about 49,000 square kilometers.  這裡的生活比匈牙利簡樸，但人民工作辛勤，斯洛伐克已於2009年加入歐元區，曾統治他們的匈牙利人卻還未能達成此目標。放假的新年日，我們只是開車在邊境繞繞，卻不斷看到迎面而來的公車。 Life here is simpler than

前方的大教堂就是Esztergom的地標，是歐洲僅次於羅馬聖彼得教堂和倫敦聖保羅教堂、第三大的羅馬天主教教堂。 The basilica ahead is the landmark of Esztergom. It is the third largest church in Europe, only smaller than St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and St. Paul's Cathedral in London.  Esztergom在第十到十三世紀中曾是匈牙利的首都，隔壁緊鄰斯洛伐克，匈牙利人曾是統治階級，至今都還是很以其文化為傲。 Esztergom was once the capital of Hungary from the 10th to the 13th century.

接下來我們開往更北的Esztergom，冬日的公路風景有蕭颯的美。 Then we drove toward Esztergom, 46 km north-west of Budapest. The winter roads have a charm of desolation and bleakness.

新年的一月一日不應該窩在家，即使外面下起雪來，卡洛還是不辭辛勞帶我們出城去布達佩斯北方的小鎮Szentendre.  The first day of the new year shouldn't be wasted at home. Even though it had started to snow, Carol still drove us out of Budapest on small-town trips today. Our first stop was Szentendre, 25 km north of Budapest.  多瑙河河畔風光。 The riverscape along the Danube.  Szentendre位於Pilis山丘的山腳邊，是風景如詩的小鎮，曾是許多藝術家聚集之處，鎮上有不少博物館和藝廊。卡洛說後來因為觀光客過盛，

匈牙利菜以份量大油多為特色，雖然吃起來很飽足，但我都會暗自懷疑：人生有這麼美好嗎？今天我們去到一家有歐洲他國風味的餐廳Bagatelle，餐廳設計很夢幻。 Hungarian cuisine is known for its large serving and greasy taste. Though it is very filling, I can't help wondering, Life can't be so free can it. Today we went to a restaurant ,Bagatelle, which is rather European. The decor of the restaurant is so dreamy.  這家餐廳在份量和口味上都對健康有益，

今天的陽光比昨天更耀眼，一早我們就駕車上山賞風景。 The sunshine today was even more dazzling than yesterday. We set out to go up the hills for amazing scenery. 今日的目的地是亞諾許山丘，海拔527公尺，上山時已經積雪了。 The destination today was Janos Hill, 527 meters above the sea level. There was a thin layer of snow when we arrived.  儘管如此，一路上都是慢跑者。 Despite so, we saw joggers all the way.  我低頭看看嬌貴的雙腳。我說如果可以的話，我也很想和他們一同用跑步送走今年最後一天。

這兩天去了知名甜點店奧古斯都的不同分店，2011年用如此甜蜜的方式結束真是不賴，因為自己幸福不夠，我要趕在半小時內台灣時間2011年結束前讓大家分享我的快樂。 I've visited two branch stores of the renowned dessert shops Auguszt over the past two days. It's fantastic to draw an end to year 2011 in such a sweet manner. I do not want to keep all the happiness all to myself, so I want to share it with everyone in half an hour before this year is over. 這是山上的分店，叫Auguszt

我用龜速的散步加寫生的行程，終於到達了布達城堡。 I walked at a turtle's pace. Plus my sketching itineraries, it took me a whole morning to get to Buda Castle.  最近每看到好風景或好紀念品，都很想全部寄給我最愛的家人，所以我在郵局畫了一張明信片寄給我們家的爸爸媽媽。 Now whenever I see something beautiful, I am overwhelmed with the strong longing to send it all to my beloved family. I drew a postcard of the dome of the palace and mailed it to my dad and mom.  城堡現今有

本來想趕趕觀光客的風潮，搭登山纜車上山，但眼前遊客如織，而旁邊的坡道看起來挺友善的，我就一路慢慢走上去。 I'd wanted to be part of the tourist hype to go to the castle by taking the funicular. But dozens of tourists were lining in front of me, and the slope nearby looked quite friendly. I thus decided to walk there. 其實城堡位高於多瑙河48公尺之山丘，所以並不是什麼險峻難爬的路徑。 In fact, the castle lies only 48 meter above the Danube river, so it's not a difficult climb.

儘管不是第一次看到登山纜車，還是很興奮，如果小方和阿楷親眼看到，一定會不停大叫耶！ Though this was not the first time I saw the funicular, I was equally thrilled. If Von and Kai had been here, they'd have screamed in excitement.  纜車造型真是可愛。 The funiculars are terribly cute... 滿心想著我家雙寶，我把今天的第一張速寫獻給了他們。 Filled with the thought for our two boys, I dedicated today's first sketch to them...

今早看到陽光露臉，不禁又想得快點出門才好，每天就是抱著這種積極的心情旅行。今天的目的地是山區的城堡，步行即可到達。 This morning when I saw the sun greeting me, I couldn't help thinking that I should go out to explore the city asap. That's the mood I wake up in every day. Today my destination was Buda Castle, which is accessible by foot.  家門旁的垃圾回收處有匈牙利人愛喝酒的證據。 Next to the recycled bins near Carol's apartment lies the proof for Hungarians' addiction

每天早上出門都和自己說：今天不可以再迷路了。天空的一抹光亮也附和我的決心。 Every morning before going out, I'll repeat to myself: You can't get lost today! A glow in the sky seemed to say, "You can make it!"  先查過地圖，順著我研究的方向走。今天沒下雨，小朋友撐的傘應該是他的聖誕禮物。 I had gone out of my way to check the map and made sure that I was walking in the right direction. It didn't rain today. I bet the kid must have got the umbrella as his Christmas gift.

最近幾天睡眠品質不甚優良，一早起來想到放鬆的良方是泡溫泉，剛好卡洛家附近有間叫作奇拉伊的溫泉，走幾步路就到了。 I haven't slept well for the past few days. This morning it occurred to me that the remedy for tension is taking a hot spring bath. Kiraly happens to be in Carol's neighborhood, so the happy coincidence prompted me to go without any excuse. 溫泉在不是很顯眼的地段，我一如往常迷路，因為多繞的路更加強我要去的決心。 The bath house isn't easy to recognize.

午餐吃了中東料理，一份卻可以吃兩餐。 I had Gyros for lunch, but a serving could be my lunch and dinner.  今天的下午茶要和家人一起用！特別挑了安得西大道上的慕菲斯咖啡店，還事先問有沒有無線上網。 I planned to Skype with my family during my afternoon tea session, so I chose Muvesz on Andrassy Avenue. I hade made sure in advance if there is access to Internet.  一如往常，很甜的巧克力蛋糕配上很甜的熱巧克力。 As usual, a piece of extremely sweet chocolate cake had to go with a cup

布達佩斯的國家歌劇院是為了慶祝匈牙利1896年的千禧年而見，由當時最重要的建築師Miklos Ybl設計，花了十年才完工，是匈牙利人心目中最有重量的歷史古蹟。 The State Opera House in Budapest was commissioned to commemorate the millennial of Hungary in 1896. It was designed by the most important architect Miklos Ybl at that time. The construction took a decade to finish. The architecture is considered to be one of the most important historical sites for Hungarians.

安得西大道是布達佩斯主要的購物街，沿路盡是精美的豪宅和商家，以建築的表面設計令人驚豔。 Andrassy Avenue is the main shopping road in Budapest. It is lined with exquisitely-designed mansions and shops. The facades of the architecture is especially impressive. 這些多半是住家的大門，卻有著皇宮般的氣派。 These are mostly doors to residential halls, but they are really palatial in design.  所以鳥兒也愛在安得西大道上飛翔！ That's why birds love to hover

卡洛說匈牙利人經濟上真的很貧窮，但布達佩斯美得讓人無法停止拍照，這個城市的文化遺產太富有。 Carol said that Hungarians are financially poor, but Budapest has such breathtaking beauty that one cannot take a break from taking photos. The city is inundated with cultural heritage.  走在路上看見的酒鬼還不少。 I often encounter alcoholics on the streets.  匈牙利文的「餐廳」。 "Restaurant" in Hungarian.  本日特餐。 Menu of the day.  熱情的紅色郵筒。 The passionate red post box.

市場是最容易認識新城市的捷徑，泡澡之前偶然發現中央市集就在澡堂對面，所以一泡完澡便往食物聚集之地衝去。 Markets are one of the best places to get to know a new city. Before taking a hot spring bath, I found Great Market Hall is right across from the bath house. So after the bath, I rushed directly towards where all the good food is... 市場有三層，而且腹地廣大，剛開始我遍尋熟食找不到方向。 There are three floors in the market, and it is so huge that I had

多瑙河上有多座橋，今天有機會走上自由橋，它是布達佩斯第三座橋，也是最短的一座，是為了1896年的千禧世界博覽會而建。 Several bridges connect the two sides Buda and Pest, divided  by the Danube River. Today I had the opportunity to cross the Liberty Bridge, which is the third and the shortest in Budapest.

匈牙利以溫泉聞名，不去泡澡太可惜了，所以今天的行程之一就是泡溫泉去。我去的土耳其式浴場叫盧達許。 Hungary is known for its hot springs. It'd be a shame if I didn't go, so one of my itineraries today was taking a hot spring bath. The Turkish-style bath house I went to is called Rudas. 浴場內不能拍照，不過我佯裝在寫札記，偷看婦女們也很低調，成功地記錄裡面的生態。 There was no taking photos in the bath house, but I pretended to be writing journals.

想到小方和阿楷，於是我把這幾天看到的交通工具畫下來，車輛的研究果然是門大學問呢！ I thought of Von and Kai, so I painted the means of transportation I had seen over the past few days in Budapest. The study of vehicles is actually something quite broad and profound for me.

今天布達佩斯的陽光亮麗，放著如此美好的日子不上路太可惜，卡洛提議載我們去離布城四十五分鐘車程的塔塔湖。 Today the sunshine in Budapest was so dazzling. It would be a pity to waste it staying at home. Carol offered to take us to Tata Lake, which is about a 45-minute drive away from the capital. 冬天裡高速公路旁的景色仍然綠意盎然。 In winter, the scenery along the highway is still lush.  山丘間散布著紅白色調的小屋。 The hills are dotted with red-roofed white houses.

今天是聖誕節前最後的工作天，趁著大家收工前，我又跑去家附近的停車場畫買賣聖誕樹的人潮。 Today was the last working day before Christmas. Before everyone called it a day, I went to the parking lot near Carol's apartment to do sketches of Christmas tree sellers and buyers. 畫到一半時，前幾天的鬍子大叔又跑來，手裡拿著一張一千福林的鈔票，想和我買之前畫他的速寫，我覺得很不好意思，提議要送給他，因為真的只是速寫本裡的一張紙，但他堅持要付錢，撕下那一頁給他之後，他要我簽上日期和名字，雨打在紙上很多線條都歪歪扭扭了，他最後親了我的臉頰，很開心地離開。 In the middle of sketching,

一早出門就遇到這輛可愛的小貨車。 I spotted the lovely van when I headed out for my walking tour this morning.  這幾天學到一個新的匈牙利字kiado，意思是出租。 I've learned a Hungarian word over the past few days. "Kiado" means to let.  美麗的樹。 Here is a beautiful tree... 匈牙利人百態。 This is what Hungarians are like.  匈牙利的藝術。 This is Hungarian art.  今天的目的地是聖誕市集。 Today my destination was the Christmas market.  市集有許多迷人的手作品。 The

今天有種很深刻的領悟，要用沒有明天的精神畫畫，所以一早起床就趕去市場寫生。 It dawned on me today that I should draw as if there were no tomorrow, so I hurried to the market for sketches right after waking up. 布達佩斯處處可見壁畫。 Murals can be seen everywhere in Budapest. 經過停車場時，賣聖誕樹和買聖誕樹的人都很起勁，便停下來為他們速寫，想不到穿藍色工作服的大叔（圖左）很好奇，穿過馬路來看我在忙什麼，我剛好在原稿裡畫他畫到一半，他還特地為我擺姿勢，然後把穿棕色大衣（圖右）的太太也叫過來看，兩人七嘴八舌的，我畫完和他們道再見後繼續前進。 Passing by the parking lot,

到布達佩斯的第二天就看到雪，我身邊的少女們尤其興奮！ On our second day in Budapest, we were lucky enough to be greeted by the snow. My young travel companions were especially thrilled at the sight of snow!  雖然是冬天，街上還是花花綠綠的，五彩繽紛。 Despite the winter season, the streets were still colorful, bedecked with various colors.

在希斯洛機場逛進哈洛斯的免稅商店，看見旅客們毫不在意地往購物籃丟包裝精美的商品，過去三個月的堅強意志瞬間幾乎要被擊潰，我好想念我的工作和優渥的生活，我在這麼寒冷的歐洲每天和體重斤斤計較到底有什麼意義呢？ While waiting for my flight in Heathrow Airport, my steely will over the past three months came near collapsing when I saw other tourists dump beautifully-wrapped gifts into their baskets without a wink at all. I miss my job and comparatively well-to-do life so much. What's the point of being in

前往布達佩斯的航班上，我們研究著匈牙利人的長相，基本上他們的五官不像西方人輪闊深刻，相較之下很精緻，挺挺的小鼻子，灰藍的眼睛看起來有些憂鬱，雖然很好看，但是我們懷疑性格上會不會也很悲傷‧‧‧ On our flight to Budapest, we were studying the facial features of Hungarians. Basically, theirs are not as clearly-cut as those of Caucasians. In contrast, their have small cute noses that turn up. The grayish blue eyes feel kind of blue. To be honest, they are very beautiful, but we can't help

看到我的日本同學小桃畫龍年的賀年卡，讓我手也癢了起來，而且龍年是我的生肖年。今天早上起來就冒出一些卡片得寄，這就變成我練習的好藉口。 Seeing my Japanese classmate Momo's dragon year greeting cards, I felt like trying my hand at producing some. Besides, the dragon is my zodiac. This morning when I got up,  it occurred to me that there are some cards I should make, which became a good excuse for me to practice drawing dragons.  這是為一個很特別的小女生畫的，她現在需要很多的好運氣。 This

It occurred to me that today was perfect for doing laundry.  不料我老趕不上倫敦天氣變化的速度，不久之後又滴滴答答下起雨。 Well, I can never catch up with the fast pace of weather in London.

昨天半夜下著雨，抽煙的年輕人照樣聚集在我窗前吱吱喳喳的，不過今天天黑之後，許多窗口的燈都沒點，能回家的孩子多半有父母來接走了。 It rained last night, but the smoking youngsters still gathered in front of my window to chat. Today after the night fell, many windows remained unlit. Many kids who lived inside the UK were already picked up by their parents. 我就在雨天裡一邊看著窗外回家的人潮，一邊畫著圖。 I was drawing on a rainy day, watching people going home.  享受難得的孤單卻安靜的宿舍生活。 And

放假了，我漫無目的亂畫，卻無比開心。 I am on vacation. I draw without any purpose; yet I feel utterly happy.  今天發現這個顏色的名字是陽光黃，好像到處都可以看到它的溫暖四射。 Today I found the beautiful name of this color, and it seems that I can see its warm glow everywhere.  寄出了手繪的問候，我前往Shoreditch去買一份很重要的禮物。 After sending out hand-drawn postcards, I set out for Shoreditch to look for a very important gift.  Dezeen Space, 54,

距離冬至還有一個多星期，可是每天都冷得讓我覺得是冬至，而且現在不到四點就天黑，過了冬至，白天就會慢慢增長，所以我先提前慶祝。 There is more than a week before the winter solstice comes, but every day it's so cold that I think of it as the winter solstice. Now the sky darkens before 4 pm. After the winter solstice, the daytime will become increasingly longer, so I decide to celebrate it ahead of others.  傍晚下了點雨，可是晚上的天空還是繁星點點，這就是倫敦，什麼都有可能。 It rained a little

上週在查報告資料時，發現坎貝爾附近的得立奇有家美術館，既然我無法征服倫敦高級地段，至少要把我們南區玩清楚一點，於是得立奇美術館就成為我這週的行程之一。 When I was collecting background information on my essay last week, I accidentally found  Dulwich Picture Gallery near Camberwell. Since I can't conquer the upper-class sections in London, I should at least tour around the southern area. Thus Dulwich Picture Gallery became one of my itineraries this week.

準備報告弄了一個多星期，有點歹戲拖棚之感，我和自己說要寫完才可以給親朋好友寄禮物。 I'd been working on my essay for more than a week, and I felt it could drag on and on. I made a deal with myself: I can't mail gifts to my family and friends unless I finish it.  灑滿陽光的午後，我去郵局的路上，看到了這個字和我溫暖地打招呼，我不禁說：對啊，你怎麼知道？ On my way to the post office on a super sunny afternoon, I saw this word greeting me warmly. I couldn't replying: Exactly! How do

去了坎頓市場三次，十月中和凱特琳娜去時，天氣如此晴朗，那一天很快地就變成我在倫敦最棒的經驗之一，我們乘船在運河上，因為陽光太閃亮，眼睛得閉起來，可惜我當時太忙，沒有時間立刻整理照片。 I've been to Camden Market three times. When I went there with Caterina in mid-October, the weather was so sunny. Soon that day became one of the best I had had in London. We sailed on the canal, shut our eyes against the sun because it was too dazzling. It was a pity that I was so occupied then that I

寒冷的冬天裡最美好的兩件事就是吃和睡，我現在走在街上，胃被冷空氣麻痺到我分不清究竟是肚子餓還是只是想吃。今天和姐姐妹妹相約去坎頓市場，因為我有一個很重要的任務，這個任務和程又青問的問題有關：我們為了愛做過什麼？不過姐妹們的目的是便宜的美食。坎頓跳蚤市場大到一種令人瞠目的程度，各國美食誘人的賣相和香味讓我們無法拒絕，鹹的甜的一起來。這些照片是我吃飽喝足後想到要為大家記錄才胡亂拍的，通常一區都有十個二十個食物攤位‧‧‧ The two greatest luxuries in freezing winter are eating and sleeping. Now when I walk on chilly streets, my stomach is so paralyzed that I can hardly tell if I am really hungry or it's

來到這裡都還未體驗人家口中的英式早餐，想到我的時間一分一秒在流失，最近想要抓住當下的領悟更強烈了，於是今天早上出門和同學溫蒂吃早午餐去。我們約在牛津街附近夏綠蒂廣場十三號的蘭特娜，本來我都查好要怎麼去，但是倫敦的交通運輸系統非常不可預測，地鐵線常常在施工中，今天牛津街整條封街，公車到不了。這種時候我都只能自我安慰我在這個城市得到的太多，這些小事不足掛齒。 I hadn't tasted what others call "British breakfast" since I came here. Thinking that my time is drifting by, I have a stronger desire than ever to seize the day. This morning my classmate Wen Dee and I planned to meet

今天一早起床太陽就在窗外呼喚我，說今日是個出遊天。弗洛登路上的花兒美麗地綻放著。 This morning when I woke up, the sun was beckoning me outside the window. It cried out loud that today was for taking a trip. The flowers on Flodden Road are in full bloom.  這是公車經過倫敦橋上看見的風景。在這裡三個月了，我仍然總是帶著驚喜對自己說：我在倫敦耶！ This is a photo taken on my bus ride when we were on London Bridge. I've been here for three months, but I never cease telling myself in

今天天空陰陰的，我很想畫窗外沒穿衣服的樹，我必須克制自己不能畫得有個性，真的不是很容易，不過我想久了之後，我也會變成一個沒有偏見的人。 It was a cloudy day today. I was tempted to draw the tree in the courtyard. However, I had to curb my desire to make it "my" tree, which wasn't very easy. But I think with time  passing by, I'll become a very objective person because of the training.  屈老師攝影 / photo taken by Ms. Chu  江老師和國畫班的同學為我拍了一張照，哇，我好想念大家還有在週四早晨的國畫課，

昨天為了搜集報告的資料，整天趴趴走，除了獲得新知識，也得到有關城市有趣的發現！早上去了坎貝爾圖書館，下午去了倫敦時尚學院的圖書館，不同分校氛圍差別迥異！ I spent a whole day yesterday traveling here and there collecting info about my essay. Apart from gaining new knowledge on my subject matter, I also had interesting discoveries about the city! I went to the library in Camberwell School of Arts in the morning, and in the afternoon I visited London College of Fashion.

昨天晚上又做了傻事，邊看大仁和又青就吃掉了一整條巧克力餅乾，為了減輕罪惡感，我還穿上大外套去冷冷的中庭繞圈圈，冬天真不是我的季節啊！ Yesterday evening I was out of control again. While watching a very popular Taiwanese drama, I ate up a whole pack of double chocolate chip cookies. To alleviate myself of the erosive sense of guilt, I put on my super warm overcoat for a walk in the freezing courtyard. I am by no means a winter person! 古巴海報設計師巴克斯之作 / posters

下午從圖書館出來時，行道樹的燈點亮了，月亮就躲在樹上的點點光亮間，和我玩捉迷藏。 When I came out of the library in the late afternoon, the trees were lighted. The moon hid among the branches playing hide-and-seek with me.  今天氣溫直直掉，走在路上都要變成冰棒了，還好沿路都是月亮的化身，過節的氣氛越來越濃‧‧‧ I felt a huge drop in temperature today. I came near becoming a popsicle as I walked on my way home. Luckily, I was accompanied by many moons. The whole s street feels

周末和家人朋友聊了天，不過想家的心情因此被掀了開來，我想到之前同學茹絲在臉書上寫的一句話，前幾天下了雨，她說落雨讓她看到家鄉格拉斯哥，今天我想家的情緒像雨般下起來。 I skyped with my family and friend this weekend, but my homesickness was thus uncovered. I recalled some remarks by my classmate Ruth on FB. It rained a few days ago, but it relieved her of her homesickness because it pished like that in her hometown Glasgow. Today my homesickness rained down on me.  「把那樣的心情畫下來吧！」

上大學時，外宿的女同學會有男同學送宵夜或早餐，我從來沒經歷過那種公主般的待遇。在美國生病的時候，傻傻的男同學只想到買麥當勞。到了倫敦我已經超過被伺候的年齡，還好我一直都很知本份，而且我想如果有人送宵夜，我是會變胖的，沒有也挺好的。 In university, girls who live in dorms might get midnight snacks or breakfast from the boys who are romantically interested in them. Since I lived at home all along, I had never experienced that. When I fell sick once in the US, my friend knew nothing more than buying food from the
