Confessions. Book V [The Years 1732-1736]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

It is sometimes said that the sword wears out the scabbard. That is my history. My passions have made me live, and my passions have killed me. What passions? will be asked. Trifles, the most childish things in the world, which, however, excited me as much as if the possession of Helen or the throne of the universe had been at stake.

今天的歐史,老師上到盧梭的Confessions
這篇是盧梭學Saint Augustin的Confessions寫成的一篇
在Book V的地方,這一句開頭,簡直就是在寫我!
Passion,是浪漫主義時代一個很重要的元素
也是我人生的圭臬

passion不是只有我一人同意
大家都看過的Legally Blonde
Elle Woods在畢業的那天致詞:
On our very first day at Harvard, a very wise Professor quoted Aristotle: 'The law is reason free from passion.' Well, no offense to Aristotle, but in my three years at Harvard I have come to find that passion is a key ingredient to the study and practice of law -- and of life. It is with passion, courage of conviction, and strong sense of self that we take our next steps into the world, remembering that first impressions are not always correct. You must always have faith in people. And most importantly, you must always have faith in yourself

Passion!
這個字聽起來就有熱血沸騰的感覺
passion可用在其他哪些地方呢?
最有趣的就是Passion fruit
熱情的水果是什麼?
就是百香果
百香果長在熱帶,而熱帶的沙灘海水和美麗的景觀
更和百香果相呼應
試著想想看
穿著bikini躺在沙灘躺椅上,喝著冰涼的百香果汁
和穿著雪衣拿著百香果汁站在大雪中
哪一個比較對味?
當然是tropical囉!
想當然爾,passion也跟熱帶扯上了關係
美國知名沐浴用品品牌Bath & Body Works調配開發的眾多香味之一
就是Tropical Passion
本人是沒聞過,但是我想應該跟百香果相距不遠

passion (n.) 熱情
passionate (adj.) 熱情的

這是今天的每日一字
要記得喔!
