中文感悟：
不知道為什么讀這一章的時候總有一種“花自飄零水自流”和命運造化弄人的感覺。蘇軾的“十年歸夢寄西風，此去真為田舍翁”的情懷頗像陶淵明曾寫的那篇《歸去來兮辭》。奈何造化弄人，命運傳回了復官的消息，他多年的辛苦也從此一筆抹殺。
我想起了很久之前看過的一個紀錄片《中國市長》，講的是前大同市長耿彥波的故事，當時的他還沒來得及實現興旺大同的理想就被調任省會太原市市長。那些有關大同的榮辱沉浮，跟那些他一走就停工的工程一樣，再也沒有回來。我始終記得紀錄片里的他在鉆進去往太原的車里那一刻淚如如下。他說：“55歲，做官做到我這個年紀已經沒什么感覺了，就是想著在一個地方，就要把這個地方建設得面貌一新，在大同的時候，我想著要建設一個煥然一新的大同，到太原了，也會想著在三年之內，太原必定要大不一樣……”
可是，除了自己，誰又知道他邁出大同的時候曾割下了什么呢？如他一樣，蘇軾在此時此刻的內心是怎樣一種情緒，恐怕只有他自己才知道了。
字詞學習：
...one of them became the best-loved poem describing the essence of this mountain.
essence此處表示the most important quality or feature of something that makes it what it is
in essence本質上
2 a liquid taken from a plant, etc., that contains its smell and taste in a very strong form香精，精油，此處相當于extract
of the essence: necessary and very important
造句：No one can depict human nature so vividly as?Shakespeare.
Starvation is at my door.
選這句話是因為覺得這個句式非常好，表示…臨近，非常緊迫的一個很形象的說法。
比如可以造句Job-seeking/running out of money is at my door.
...he had his heart in his mouth.
heart這里補充一個熟詞生義，表示“紅桃牌，紅心牌”，比如the queen of hearts紅桃皇后
somebody's heart is in their mouth: somebody feels nervous or frightened about something提心吊膽，心提到了嗓子眼兒
set/have your heart on something: to want something very much
take something to heart對某時感到煩惱、耿耿于懷
cross my heart(and hope to die)我發誓（否則不得好死）
eat your heart out: used to compare two things and say that one of them is better（比較兩事物）比…還好
wear your heart on your sleeve感情外露、把心事掛在臉上
造句：Every time my brother saw mouse he had his heart in his mouth.
