这几天讨论了这么多超越时间的问题，突然读到一段有关 ”时间“ 的描述，与大家分享一下：

“西方的神学之父圣奥古斯丁（St Augustine）说过：「时间是什么？我本来似乎还知道；但一被问及，就反而什么都不知道了。」

”有太多方法可以用来定义时间，以致没有一种是完全可靠的。在愈来愈深的皱纹里，在磨损漫漶的
字碑里，在对过去的恋栈及对未来的惶恐里，几乎都有时间的遗迹。“

Thank you, David.

是啊, 时间是什么? 简单直接的答案可能是: 看一下自己的手表, 手机, 显示屏, 日历.
可是, 时间同样悄然融入在宇宙万物的轮回中, 融入在人文历史的长河中; 无所不在, 却无从定义.

谈及时间, 即刻就想到 Einstein 简单而深奥的相对论. 从物理学角度诠释相对论当然是力所不及的; 只是想, 虽然表面上事事都随时更新变换, 但是总会存在相对不变的内在 Value; 自然世界如此, 人亦如此: 或真诚善良平和, 或虚伪狡诈争霸.

谈及超越时间, 眼前浮现出 Salvador Dali 那幅超现实的 The Persistence of Memory： 精确的时间溶化软化, 就象融入记忆里的时间永远留滞在某个时间段.

Saint Augustine 也说 过：
“How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.”

时间是不是同时蕴涵了有限和无限以至永恒的呢 ?

That 龙安志 character owns 3 of those properties! Seems like he also likes to acquire multiples when he sees the ingenuity in something. As mentioned a couple of times before, I do too; the difference between us, I guess, is he goes for the big ticket items.

China probably doesn't have property taxes - at least not any significant amount to speak of. That is something very different compared to almost all the states here in the US.

J. H.,

其实，钟表的指针是为感官而存在。

Phil Hand wrote:

What are days for?
Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?

Ah, solving that question
Brings the priest and the doctor
In their long coats
Running over the fields.

《日子》

日子是幹什麼用的？
日子是我們活著的地方。
它們到臨，它們一次又一次地
喚醒我們。
它們是要快樂度過的：
除了日子我們還能活在那裡？

啊，為了解答這個問題
使得牧師和醫生
穿著長長的外袍
在田野上奔跑。

--菲利浦‧拉金--

这里的 doctor 的翻译是否有问题？ doctor 这里是否应为博学之士而不是医生，否则感觉有点怪怪的。

另外，他们为什么要穿着长袍在田野上奔跑，是否他们有在田野里思考的习惯？

向各位请教，先谢谢了！

Remembering the traditional house call


Up until the 20th century, the majority of primary care doctors saw patients in their homes, and even in 1940, 40% of family physicians regularly made house calls. Those who can remember a time when house calls were common often remember them with nostalgia: patients were able to remain at home where they felt comfortable, and never had to sit in waiting rooms where they worried about catching an illness.

Meanwhile doctors, although spending considerably more time on the road, were able to interact with patients on a more personal level and gained a better sense of their overall well-being. Seeing patients as individuals with full lives made the work, for some doctors, more fulfilling.

This intimacy, though, was a fading dynamic of a fading world--as more doctors entered specialties rather than family practice and insurance policies shifted, the house call became less and less common. By 1980, the number of house calls had dropped to just 1%.
