Steve已看完Harry Potter第七本的書，而我才開始第一本的Harry Potter… 
那是從Steve其中一个書橱的眾多書裡＇就地取才＇挑一本。Steve却開始第一本英譯的＜紅樓夢＞，他是上綱訂購，前幾天才收到。前三天我們在電視上的節目，播放知名的Dr. Wayne Dyer的講座，Dr. Dyer告诉觀眾，他用一年的时間研究老子的＜道德經＞，而且他寫了一本有關＇道＇的書＜Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life＞。並且在電視節目推銷書本及CD等配套，以支持該PBS廣播。Steve已經有英譯的＜道德經＞，知道Dr. Dyer有研究這本書及出書和CD，即向PBS訂了該配套。Steve很喜欢Dr. Dyer的講座，我第一次看到他在節目，的確很吸引我…
我没真正讀過＜紅樓夢＞，也没讀過＜道德經＞，西方人却在閱讀研究… 我很pai seh…
Steve just finished reading the seventh Harry Potter book, but I just began to read the first Harry Potter book… That book is from one of the bookcases full of those many books bought by Steve. Steve just began to read the English translation of ＜紅樓夢＞; it’s titled “The Story of the Stone” in English. He just got the books a few days ago after buying them online. Three days ago, we watched a famous author and speaker, Dr. Wayne Dyer, on TV. Dr. Dyer told the audience that he used one year to study the “Tao Te Ching” by Lao Tsu, and he wrote a book regarding ‘Tao’ titled “Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life”. PBS (public TV) also promoted a package of books and CDs etc. to support their show. Steve already had English translations of “Tao Te Ching”, but he felt that the books and CDs from Dr. Dyer would be interesting too. Thus, he ordered that package immediately. Steve said he likes the knowledge of Dr. Dyer. Though this was the first time I heard him, I felt his talk was very interesting…
I haven’t really read “The Story of the Stone” nor “Tao Te Ching”. I felt ‘behind’ knowing westerners are reading them…

Don't feel like you're behind, sinE. Not all people are avid readers like Steve, and VERY few Americans read the type of books he reads. You are way ahead of things in my mind because of your sense of adventure in life, your openness, and your ability to speak so many languages.
What a gift!
