city in the sky

The reason you made me fall in love with you for the first time was because of your irresistible attraction in the match against Argentina, the one later i learned named Philipp Lahm(拉姆) number 16 conveying to me. You looked down onto the football playground, wearing an expression of exhaustion, dripping, and then with profound eyesight you looked up and walked, bravely accepting an imperceptible challenge coming ahead. Then, number 13, number 7 appeared in the big silent screen attracted my attention. (We watched it in a bar, that day to celebrate Shaoping's birthday.)

You all including the goalkeeper really did an excellent job! The tenacious spirit moved me totally...When every one cried for Arg. i noticed that Germany had won my support. It is a team that shows me what is called nobility in tranquility and calmness in the wave of heat.

That success brought me happiness and expectation, whereas the competition last night from 3:00 to 6:00am made me feel sorry and pitiful, for the lost of the single touch of the world cup after the past 16 years. 

They were shouting and screaming for the promotion of Italia and were so happy that they thought the whole room was filled with the people of the same kind...a little disgu'...

When some were high some others were curing their pains by themselves...

Ballack(巴拉克), Jens Lehmann(莱曼), coach Klinsmann(克林斯曼), Lahm and other members cried nearly at the same time and supporters not only inside the court but also outside couldn't control themselves and burst into tears.

        悲伤的眼泪

　　威斯特法伦球场地铁站，一个父亲一个儿子，两人并排坐在最后一层台阶。没有说一句话，他们只是安静地坐在那里，低垂着脑袋，任由源源不断的人流从他们身边走过。

　　一名身披德国国旗的高大男子快步走到他们身边，轻轻地拍了拍那位父亲的肩膀，和他们坐在了一起。就这么简单的两个动作，一下子打开了眼闸，三个大男人开始哭了起来。他们的哭声，让整个地铁站的空气更加凝重，更加悲伤。

　　“德国已经16年没有夺得世界杯冠军了，我们是多么希望这次能够在本土捧起大力神杯。”在地铁站，一名德国男子对记者说，“但是，现在一切都已经结束了……”

　　不屈的歌声

　　不是所有德国人都只会用悲伤来对待失败。在多特蒙德火车站，一个场景让记者不得不对德国人的不屈肃然起敬。

　　由于正值散场高峰，多特蒙德火车站异常拥挤，尽管人流量非常大，整个氛围却安静得让人感到可怕。德国队输球了，德国球迷的兴致都不高，几乎都是面无表情地走向各个站台。

　　就在这个时候，正在自动售票机前排队买票的两个德国人突然开始大声歌唱。紧接着，在这两人的带动下，周围的德国球迷也跟着他们的节奏大声唱了起来，短短十秒钟，整个大厅立即充满所有人齐声高唱的“Deutscheland，Deutscheland”。

One of my friend said she concerned more about skills as regards playing football, looking down upon the usage of head simply due to their advantaged height. But isn't it one of the skill that not every tall guy has?? And she criticized the comparable worse flexibility of feet and competing policy, but in my mind, they were just doing fine.

Why must we be so rational and logical every time; and why couldn't we just enjoy ourselves when we watch a football game? I confess most of time i care too much about the result, and the team spirit, but not the skill. I am emotional as what she said, but so what?? Like is like, hatred is hatred, what you feel is what, there is no reason to analyze a thing at length, especially for a football match. 特拉姆瓦伊said, 足球是让人快乐的，何必自寻烦恼, so, don't be sad, even though your beloved team failed and just cherry up to enjoy the rest of them. As for Germany, i will back you up till forever!

 DEFEATED BY ITALY

HE IS THE ONE SHOCKED ME, NAMED LAHM~

COACH!!I LIKE

TWO EXCELLENT GOALKEEPERS!!卡恩LEFT 莱曼RIGHT!

Today, my friend told me her sadness. She said, these days, she found her best friend, who is her senior school classmate and now studies in another university, seems to escape from her in some way, unwilling to talk about daily lives, exchanging ideas towards every kind of things as they used to do, giving my friend a feeling of hiding something from her. She said she was so afraid that one day she might lose this best friend.

She wondered why those things happened. "I have done nothing wrong."she said, "But if i did, i think it might be once when i invited her to go out to have a dinner, then i changed my mind because of the unsuitable time. Then she said can't you just rectify yourself just for me once? "

On hearing this, i think of a passage written by Xiaoxian Zhang in Kiss Suspended in Mid-air. Here attached the passage in short:

告别友情岁月

那天上馆子，看到邻桌有三个女人一起吃饭，她们滔滔不绝，一直谈到打烊。

我也曾经拥有这种友情岁月，很多年前，常常和两个要好的朋友这样消磨一个晚上。。。。。。。

从某天开始，已经再没有这种聚会了，说得清楚一点，是再没有这种友情。这天晚上，看到三个女人谈得这样投契，谈男人，谈工作，谈些不着边际的事，我忽然觉得很失落。有些友情，逝去了就不会再回来，与什么人成为好朋友，也是一种机遇，无法强求。几个女人能够天天晚上走在一起，无所不谈，必须有三个共同点。

首先，她们都是失恋或者没有男朋友的。女人的友谊，许多时候都是由失恋开始，如果其中一个有男朋友，其余两个最好也有男朋友，那么，大家才有共同的话题。

其次，她们的际遇最好差不多，这样才可以推心置腹。如果有一天，大家开始隐瞒自己的收入，这段友情也就经不起考验了。

最后一点，是她们三个必须同样幸福或同样不幸。一个不幸的女人决不能跟两个幸福的女人投契。

要这么多条件，才能一起消磨无数个晚上，也许，我们都有不应该苛求。能够拥有一段友情岁月，曾经在寂寞或悲痛的时候互相安慰，也不该再有什么遗憾。这些都是成长的一部分。

The upshot of it may both caused by my friend and her best friend, neither of them can escape the responsibility.

Distance matters, objectively.

Gaps are easily formed when the two guys are doing their own business and leading their own lives. I guessed that she might concentrate on her study or other things then she neglected her best friend. And she agreed. Yes, this is one determined element. One of them may think that she was not the one that she used to be and they are living differently, in the eye of the friend.

Attitudes influenced too.You see, they two have promised to do something but one of them changed their mind; surely it would make the other one angry. Not just love, but also friendship are in great need of tolerance and giving-up. If both of them just think of themselves, setting the time table only based on themselves, how can they stay together till the end of the day? Surely not.

But what's more, as for my friend, i thought she have worried too much. In fact, not everything is eternal, including best friendship. Someone had said that there was no happiness or sadness but the comparison between a good condition and a bad one. And i'd like to add a similar one, there is no best friend or stranger but the period among previous, presently and the future. As regards the case, she needn't care too much about it, when the time comes to end, nothing can stop it.

This is a poem i learned in our British and American Literature class, i find it special and attactive:

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you-Nobody-Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! They'd banish(advertise) us-you know!

How dreary-to be-somebody!
How public-like a Frog-
To tell one's name-the livelong June-
To an admiring Bog!

---- by Emily Dickenson

Nobody and somebody are two extreme words. For when you are nobody, you can not be somebody at the same time; when you are somebody, nobody is of course not you, even though you become somebody after a period just like the writer Emily Dickenson, you still a person unknown by others when you are alive. So be somebody or nobody is a choice for you, or, others.

Lots of people want to be somebody though they haven't proclaimed, at any rate, they hope they can leave some footprints in this world or realize his own dream or value. But whether it can be carried out is another issue. For many cases, it needs unceasing exertion and lifelong devotion, which is quite horrible and unbearable. As a result, a large number of men change to be nobody at length. As regards hard works, some people don't need them but luckily(or not) to be somebody, not like the previous one. The reason is that they are chosed to be. Here is a song, manifesting some kind of what i want to say:

Yes, not everybody wants to be somebody, because when you win glory, you have to loss another thing, things that you desperately need when you lost. Maybe, that's one reason for Emily's refusal of famous.

Even though being somebody has some difficulties, and being nobody lives easily, i still hope to be somebody. First of all also the most important, my character requires. On some extent, being nobody is sad.

But no matter which kind of person you are, if there are something you give to the world before you die, big or small, directly or indirectly, that's enough, for a single and vulnerable human life.
