《Chief Seattle says: “屋里,屋里;客来,客来!”》
The Seattle area has a lot of American Indian culture and heritage. From the names of cities and towns to names of rivers and hills, from totem poles of eagles, fish and bears to unique flowers and fruits, this western end of the US continent has a lot of things that are reminiscent of the Indians who inhabited this area 150 years ago. The city of Seattle for example, is named after a respected Indian tribal leader Chief Seattle. If I live here long enough, I may have to learn some native American language to get around. At this point, the only thing I have learned is “哇啦,哇啦” 叫!I don't know what it means yet, but I would like to think it means 屋里.
西雅图地区是美国印第安人最后的家园。这里的印第安人主要以渔猎为生。据说白人初到此地,这里的印第安人比内陆其它地方的友好多了,所以杀戮较少。据说西雅图酋长是个爱惜一草一木,不主张争战的人。

The Walla Walla is still in service today:
The Walla Walla ferry boat, she can carry 2,000 passengers and more than 180 cars and trucks.
The Kalakala of the 1950s
The Kalakala ferry boat retired in 1967, this is a mural painting of it in the town of Port Angeles. From this town, you can take a ferry ride across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the Canadian city of Victoria, a popular tourist destination with beautiful gardens and museums and European style buildings. Some 20 years ago, one did not need a visa to go to Canada, a US driver's license was all they needed. Nowadays, a passport is required.

《好茶自有味,名茶只有名》
——这几天早茶得享山东日照 淞晨 1966
茶客天天想龙井,市上真货有几斤?
今日初尝山东绿,竟然不差狮峰行。
未知日照出淞晨,汤色浓郁杯清盈。
才吞三口六六茶,仿佛已过七七瘾。

来一杯绿茶 © 悟空问答
本人喜欢喝茶,但不是茶叶专家。我对茶的爱好是1977年和同学结伴春游上龙井村到茶农家里被培养起来的。这一杯热腾腾的(免费的)龙井炒青的味道至今记得,但几十年来这样好的绿茶只尝到过几次。市面上所谓的名茶很多,名声很响,但一入口你就知道到底值不值钱。当然除了绿茶还有各种红茶,洋人喝花茶者较多。在我看来他们这些五花八门的花瓣碎叶根本不能算茶。
对于一个二十多岁就喜欢喝茶的人,喝到退休的年纪应该能品味什么是好茶。能让我记得住的是:西湖龙井(杭州,1977),徽州绿茶(兰溪,1982),玄米茶(杭州,1986),静冈煎茶(UIUC,1989), 祁门红(海宁神农茶馆,2001),铁观音 (福州某酒店,2003),陈年普洱饼(丽江玉龙客栈,2007),台湾炭焙茶(Los Angeles,2016),最近的就是日照淞晨1966(San Francisco, 2018)。

【轻描淡写】《回访狄更斯时代》
Discussions on translation are a bit too serious for Christmas
So I am returning to Times Square to share
A glimpse into the Times of Charles Dickens
Somewhere in the low hills south of San Francisco

Discussions on translation are a bit too serious for Christmas
So I am returning to Times Square to share
A glimpse into the Times of Charles Dickens
Somewhere in the low hills south of San Francisco
There's been an ongoing big holiday party held at the end of each year
I paid a visit to this 36th indoor fair yesterday
To get a feel of the Victorian Era but housed in the Cow Palace
Dimly-lit, noisy and crowded, the indoor gala looked old
Shops, restaurants and pubs line the streets and alleys
Folks walked around dressed in Victorian attire,
Men wearing tall hats and women in corsets carrying cages on their dress
Flirting and merry-making in "London's narrow streets."
Clearly Americans, they were trying to speak in British accents.
All shops looked like antique stores, with old decor lit by candles.
Some were selling souvenirs, others old fashioned costumes made in China
There seemed to be a bar or club in each block for beer and liquor
And a couple of pubs that catered to sailors, selling nothing but spirits
The theatre on the London Docks were staging a comedy show
Next to the Music Academy, there were puppets and street singers
The Mad Sal's Ale House was a full house tonight
Thanks to the exotic Moroccan belly-dance accompanied in soothing music
I wondered into a Bohemian Pub trying to find artists
Only to see most of them drunk, those who were awake arguing over peanuts
Among the folks I talked to was a city counsel of London
Sitting authoritatively under a photograph of a young Queen Victoria
"How long has Her Majesty been on the throne when this was taken?" I asked
He turned around and looked at the portrait for 3 seconds: "I don't know."
I just smiled at him and said nothing but was thinking
Well, how could you be sitting at the City Counsel of London
And don't know nothing, about Her Majesty and your Queen
For the framed pictures on the wall, I sat next to him and had a picture taken
Further down the alley I met a bunch of chimney sweepers dressed in rags
"Sir, may I know what role do you guys play in old London, something like a plumber?"
"More like a fire department," said a chubby one, "without us half of London would burn.
Why? Because London was having a lot of chimney fires.
Because every house was using coal for heat and cooking."
"Why not wood, and was there a smog problem at that time?"
"Because there was no wood left within 30 miles of London,
And further beyond you would be in the ocean,
And definitely yes smog, there was even acid rain."
I finally stepped into a Victorian Tea House
Just to see what kind of tea that was enough to cause wars or the birth of a nation
What I saw were French fries, chicken legs, apple pies and everything McDonald sells
Well, that's it for my night of a Christmas Party in the golden era known as Victorian
At lease I had some fancy drinks bought for me by my son
And a taste of scenes created according to the novels of Charles Dickens
Here is the Dickens Christmas Fair (in San Francisco), someday you may be there.

I dumped the above lines all into Google Translate and the results for short sentences seem pretty good:
关于翻译的讨论对于圣诞节来说有点过于严肃
所以我回到时代广场分享
查尔斯狄更斯时代的一瞥
在旧金山南部的低山丘的某个地方
每年年底都有一个持续的大型假日聚会
我昨天参观了第36届室内展览会
感受维多利亚时代,但在牛宫中
室内灯光昏暗,嘈杂,拥挤,看起来很古老
街道和小巷都设有商店,餐馆和酒吧
人们穿着维多利亚时代的服装走来走去,
男子戴着高高的帽子和紧身胸衣的女人在他们的衣服上携带笼子
在“伦敦狭窄的街道”中调情和欢乐。
显然是美国人,他们试图用英国口音说话。
所有商店看起来都像古董店,旧装饰点燃蜡烛。
有些人在卖中国制造的纪念品和其他老式服装
每个街区似乎都有一个酒吧或俱乐部供啤酒和烈性酒使用
还有几家迎合水手的酒吧,除了烈酒之外别无他物
伦敦码头上的剧院正在举办喜剧表演
音乐学院旁边有木偶和街头歌手
Mad Sal's Ale House今晚全屋
由于充满异国情调的摩洛哥肚皮舞伴随着舒缓的音乐
我想知道波希米亚酒吧试图寻找艺术家
只看到大多数人喝醉了,那些醒着的人争论着花生
与我交谈的人中有一位是伦敦的市政律师
权威地坐在一张年轻的维多利亚女王的照片下
“女王陛下登上王位有多长时间了?”我问
他转身看着肖像画了3秒钟:“我不知道。”
我只是对他微笑,什么也没说,只是想着
那么,你怎么能坐在伦敦市法律顾问处呢
关于女王陛下和你的女王,什么都不知道
对于墙上的框架图片,我坐在他旁边拍了一张照片
在小巷的下面,我遇到了一堆衣衫褴褛的烟囱清扫工
“先生,我可以知道你们在旧伦敦扮演什么角色,像水管工一样?”
“更像是一个消防部门,”一个胖乎乎的人说,“没有我们一半的伦敦会燃烧。
为什么?因为伦敦有很多烟囱火灾。
因为每个房子都用煤来取暖和做饭。“
“为什么不用木头,当时是否有烟雾问题?”
“因为在伦敦30英里范围内没有木材,
除了你在海洋之外,
绝对是烟雾,甚至有酸雨。“
我终于踏入维多利亚时代的茶馆
只是为了看看什么样的茶足以引起战争或一个国家的诞生
我看到的是炸薯条,鸡腿,苹果馅饼和麦当劳销售的所有东西
嗯,这就是我在维多利亚时代的黄金时代的圣诞派对之夜
至少我的儿子为我买了一些精美的饮料
还有根据查尔斯狄更斯小说创作的场景

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
Joy to the world, the Lord is come

老孙,
你上面提到的西雅图附近 Snoqualmie Falls 等,一看就是印第安人地名。如从西雅图市区去瑞尼尔火山(Mt. Rainier)上的必经之路 Puyallup 小镇,当地人读音听起来好像“飘叶落坡” piu-'yah-le-po。我本想就连带当地的土著地名介绍一番周围其它景点,发现自己对那些地方了解还不够,只能暂等夏天出去跑几圈,揽得些直观感受在再介绍吧。这个时节,西雅图是最不好玩的地方,整天阴雨连绵,干脆下雪天倒又是一番景象,可西雅图即使下雪也马上化了。所以我还在躲在加州,南下洛杉矶去了两个星期又回湾区了。
聊天话题大家出,今天见了当天说。
