美丽的彩霞

    ①早晨和傍晚,在日出日落前后,天空时常会呈现五彩缤纷的景象。那灿烂的光芒,直射千里,仿佛神话故事中描述的太阳山上的珍奇宝石发出的光,谁看了都会心旷神怡,打心里赞叹自然界的美。若是有云飘动,那么,你将会看到红色的火焰驹奋蹄行空,金色的大象成群聚集,大群的红毛羊你来我往,橘黄的薄绫随风轻舞,还有镶着金边的峰峦远近高低、参差错落……真是美不胜收,叹为观止。这就是彩霞。日出时出现的是朝霞,日落时出现的是晚霞。

    ②其实,彩霞姑娘是空气分子对光散射的产儿。日出或日落前后,太阳光透过大气层的厚度,大约是白天太阳当头照射时的35倍。由于阳光被大量空气分子所散射,紫色和蓝色的光线减弱得最多,到达地平线上时已所剩无几,余下的只有波长较长的黄、橙、红光了。这些光线经地平线上的空气分子和尘埃、水汽等杂质散射后,就形成了彩霞姑娘明艳绮丽的面容。空气中的杂质、水汽愈多,她的姿容就愈娇艳。若是有云,云块便成为彩霞姑娘美丽的衣裙,使得她变幻多姿,光彩夺目,扑朔迷离,倍受人们青睐,尤其为画师和摄影师所珍爱。好奇心极强的儿童,当然也非常喜欢她。

    ③彩霞姑娘不仅以其迷人的容颜、曼妙的身姿给人以美的享受,而且还可以帮助人们判断天气的晴雨。气象谚语说:“云吃火,没处躲;火吃云,不怕淋。”是说天上云量不断扩大,云层逐渐加厚,终于遮住了彩霞姑娘的面容,(云吃火)是雨兆;反之,云量逐渐减少,(火吃云)是晴兆。还有:“早霞不过午,晚霞一场空”,“早霞不出门,晚霞行千里”等谚语,都是人们根据彩霞姑娘出现的时间来判断天气情况的。一般说来,较为准确。

     When Regina Spektor moved to the Bronx from Russia as a young child of 9, she could speak no English and her family was so poor that they could afford nothing. Yet she carried with her a love of the piano and music.

     "For me, the thing that I loved the most was playing the piano, so when we left Russia I was so afraid I would forget how to play and I would just find a little table and play my pieces," she told "When you spend your life doing something like playing the piano and then you take that away, it's so surreal."(离奇的)

     Her father, Ilya Spektor, said that, little by little, the family saved enough money to afford their first apartment.

     "I was a photographer and, in six weeks, I found my first job in a big photo lab in Manhattan," he said. On the subway one day, Ilya Spektor spotted a man carrying a violin case. The man also seemed to have an Eastern European accent. A conversation led to a visit and, eventually, Regina Spektor was introduced to Sonia Vargas, a piano teacher. She was a well-known professor who taught piano, took Spektor under her wing and trained her for years, at no cost. "I remember talking to Sonia," Spektor said. "She said that when a student is ready, a teacher appears. So she said that I must have been ready to study piano, and so that's why she came into my life."

     "Immediately, how she played," Vargas said. "You can tell the sound. The sound tell you whether the person loves the instrument, loves the music."

     Much later, while playing her own music and selling a CD that she'd created, Regina Spektor caught the attention of a music producer. The rest is history, complete with concerts around the world and performance in front of the Obamas at the White House.

     Regina Spektor greatly appreciated her parents, piano teachers and friends for helping her become the musician she is. “I love the idea that if you’re walking toward the world, the world will take some steps towards you,” she said.
