#Winter Once More# It's not Carpenters' #Yesterday Once More#. It's [winter once more]. When the warmer-than-usual weather in the previous days in late mid-February made us feel the spring is in the air, we might regret that winter was departing.

#The Reader#《诗词大会》—>#《朗读者》#第一期【遇见】#“若有诗书藏在心，岁月从不败美人”—>董卿 。有了《诗词大会》和《朗读者》这样的“清流”，不用再担心周末一打开电视只能看到什么“番茄台”、“芒果台”和“X江X卫视”的LOW到爆的“X男”、“X营”……so-called “Zongyi" Programs or TV reality shows. 许渊冲翻译的第一个作品是林徽因的《别丢掉》，林徽因爱的是徐志摩，却嫁给了梁思成，《别丢掉》是林徽因在徐志摩坠机遇难后写给徐的。 https://t.cn/RfXRwdR
