england food 在 Lee Chong Wei 李宗伟 Facebook 的精選貼文
Wednesday, July 29th 2015. I was grimacing in pain. It must be the overnight food I took just now. I believed so. Hand on stomach, I struggled even to walk few steps.
Immediately told my teammates, and few of the boys drove me to the nearby hospital. Luckily thanks to drips and painkiller, the pain stopped. Yet I was still feeling weak. “No chance I’m gonna risk my body to play in tomorrow’s final”. I was referring to the 2015 Perak Open mixed double final.
Just when I wanted to give my coach a call to tell him my decision, I received a call. It was Vivian. She sounded worried.
“Big bro, heard of you hospitalized due to food poisoning. Please prioritize your health. I will tell the organizing committee we pull out from tomorrow’s final!” She said with a concerned yet stern tone, sincerely wanting me to rest.
Being the role model for the younger shuttlers, of course I had to put in a brave act. I said “No, I am determined to play, unless doctor advised me not to.” In actual fact, at that moment, my body couldn’t take it and having IV drip pipe hanging from my arm.
She paused. Must be stunned by my reply and didn’t want to insist due to my seniority. Then she replied in a manner I would never forget. “Big bro, if you really need to enter the court, please stay in front, let me do the running, covering you at the back.”
I was taken aback by those words. Coming from someone so young, that was a moment I learnt something from a junior. How could I disappoint her? How could I not be a better role model for the rest of the team after those words?
Doctors then advised me to rest. I told doctor if there is a slight chance for me to play, let me play. One of the male nurse cheekily asked ‘Why bro? Esok Perak Open final. Not Olympic or All England.” My respond? “For the promise I made to my fans who love this game, and for my partner.”
We won the final the next day. She did cover for me for few points of the game.
Vivian Hoo Kah Mun , Big bro here just want to thank you for being a good role model for the team. I’m sure this is not your final curtain because I see there is still fire, talent, skill in you to play a good 3-4 years more, at the very top level. I believe in you.
To the rest who suffered the same fate, don’t be disheartened. Make sure be more disciplined in training. Train even harder! There are good examples around the world where badminton professionals excel well!
If you still love the game, if you still can run a rubber set, don’t give up on your dreams.
羽球生涯中，我一直记得这一幕。
2015年，我跟师妹嘉雯搭档在霹雳公开赛打混双，怎么知道打完半决赛，我竟然食物中毒上吐下泻得进院吊点滴。当时我心想：惨了，明天的决赛怎么办呢？难得跟嘉雯搭档打比赛，实在不想让她失望而归，但无奈身体又不听使唤。这时，就接到嘉雯拨过来的一通电话：
“一哥，明天你别下场了，那不是什么重要的比赛，身体要紧，你应该把重心放在世锦赛＆奥运上。”
那时我听着电话，即使身体很虚，但还是用尽全力跟嘉雯说：“你知道的，我只要站上赛场就一定会坚持到底，不会这样就放弃比赛。” 虽然当下我也对隔天的决赛没什么把握，但就是不想辜负我的搭档。
后来嘉雯说，“好，一哥，如果你坚持下场，明天就让你站前面，我在站后面帮你顶。”
队友简单的一句话，让当时躺在医院的我非常感动，一心只想身体赶快好起来冲回赛场比拼，因为我们都没放弃、全力以赴上阵，最后在霹雳公开赛摘下混双冠军：）
球场上就是如此，没有人会想放弃谁，既然答应上场就要拼到最后一刻！最近，知道嘉雯已经离开国家队了，想起她在球场上从来不迟到早退、很会照顾后辈、个性坦率做事耿直，我身为师兄很为她骄傲，也想为她的精神鼓掌！不管未来路怎么走，做什么决定，都支持你。
和嘉雯有着想同命运的球员们想对你们说：即来之，则安之，未来路还很长，坚持训练，灿烂的阳光总会在风雨后出现！

Homestays: Finding Comfort in a Stranger's Home
While planning a trip to Peru last July, Brian Twite and his girlfriend, Constance Hansen, decided to skip hotels and stay with a host family ( ). At $35 a night, the accommodation ( ) in the Santiago district of Cusco was a bargain ( ). But the warmth of their host mother, a 65-year-old widow named Marie, won them over.
“We’d wake up and she’d yell, ‘Chicos!’, calling us for breakfast down the hall,” said Twite, a Chicagoan who works in manufacturing logistics ( ).
After a long day of sightseeing in the Sacred Valley, Twite, 32, said he was grateful to come home and share highlights ( ) of his day with Marie and her son, Jonathan. “You sit down to a meal and talk about your day. They asked us, ‘What did you do? Where did you go?’ That was really magical because you don’t get that with a hotel.”
As travelers’ appetites ( ) move toward wanting more intimate ( ), locally driven and non-generic ( ) experiences in recent years, homestays — traditionally the fallback ( ) for backpackers and foreign exchange students — are emerging in a new light.
“It’s the best way to get a feel for the place you’re visiting,” said Cliff Carruthers, a retired urban planner in York, England, who booked a homestay in Pakistan last month.
At London-based Wild Frontiers, a luxury tour planner, the founder ( ), Jonny Bealby, says 80% of his tours today include at least some kind of homestay. In some cases, popular itineraries ( ) have been revised to include a homestay; a walking tour of Palestine that’s been offered since 2013, for example, now features a village stay in Sanur.
“It’s being driven by the customer,” Bealby said, noting that travelers from London, Boston and New York seem willing to forgo ( ) the conveniences of a plush ( ) hotel every night. “What they want to do is connect.”
“It absolutely takes a bit of trust,” said Yvonne Finlay, managing director at Homestay.com, which launched in 2013 and now operates in 142 countries. “Effectively, you’re coming into this person’s home. So there needs to be that element of respect.”
Homestays also have a practical appeal ( ). With Cuba’s limited hotel inventory ( ), homestays are often the best option. One boutique ( ) travel company, Pelorus, pairs guests with specific hosts and neighborhoods, depending on their interests — food, music or retracing ( ) family roots. “Homestays allow us to be more flexible ( ),” Jimmy Carroll, the company’s co-founder, said.
寄宿家庭：來去別人家住一晚
戴懷特和女友康斯坦絲．韓森去年七月規劃秘魯之行時，決定不住飯店，改住寄宿家庭。寄宿家庭位在庫斯科省聖地牙哥區，每晚35美元（約台幣1050元），物超所值，而65歲的主人媽媽、寡婦瑪麗更用溫暖的接待贏得了他們的心。
戴懷特回憶說：「我們醒來時她就會大喊『孩子們！』，要我們過去吃早餐。」戴懷特是美國芝加哥人，從事製造業物流工作。
32歲的戴懷特說，在秘魯聖谷遊覽一整天後，他很感謝能回到寄宿家庭，跟瑪麗和她的兒子喬納森分享當天趣事。戴懷特說：「我們坐下來用餐，談談那天發生的事。他們會問，『你們做了什麼？去了哪些地方？』這真的很美妙，住飯店你不會得到這種經驗。」
隨著近年來旅客日益渴望更為親密，由當地人主導，且不一樣的經驗，傳統上是背包客和外國交換學生的選擇的寄宿家庭體驗，也以新方式興起。
英國英格蘭約克郡退休都市計畫師卡魯瑟斯，上月預訂了在巴基斯坦一個寄宿家庭的住宿，他說：「這是對你到訪的地方產生真切感受的最好方式。」
總部在倫敦的高檔行程旅行社「狂野邊界」創辦人畢爾比說，現在他販售的行程中，80%包含某種形式的寄宿家庭體驗。一些人氣行程也經過修改，納入寄宿家庭體驗，例如2013年推出的巴勒斯坦步行遊覽行程，現在主打薩努爾村住宿。
畢爾比說，「這是為了迎合客人需求」，倫敦、波士頓和紐約的客人似乎願意放棄每晚入住豪華飯店的便利，「他們要的是接地氣」。
Homestay.com旅行社創立於2013年，目前在142個國家有業務，總經理伊馮．費萊說：「這絕對需要一些信任。事實上，你是進入這個人的家，所以必須懷著尊重的心。」
寄宿家庭體驗也有實務上的吸引力。古巴旅館有限，寄宿家庭體驗經常是最好的選擇。販售精品行程的旅行社「方位儀」，根據客人感興趣的事物，如美食、音樂和追溯家族根源，把客人與特定寄宿家庭和鄰里配對。共同創辦人卡洛說：「寄宿家庭體驗讓我們更有彈性。」
