Hi Xuanxuan and girls,
The long way on which we have been walking for so long time, has far more gone beyond my imagination, just like the net here connecting this unknown new world and also touching myself somewhere. I don't konw how to express my feelings, but just want to say here that I am so grateful to have met all of you, indeed, in the beautiful blue eyed planet.
Big hug!

Jinguan,
I totally agree with you that this movie is more of a tribute to M than the
shooting and bombing. I was really touched by how the movie portrayed the
relationship between Bond and M. How I’m going to miss M now that she will
be gone, even though I do like Ralph Fiennes.
As for the lyrics, I really like your interpretation. However, I’m having a bit
difficulty with the section “A thousand miles and poles apart where worlds
collide and days are dark. You may have my number, you can take my name, but
you’ll never have my heart”. Somehow I can’t seem to fit this part to the
theme of Bond and M. Is it possible that this section is referring to the
dark force represented by Silva? Just a thought. But I’d love to hear what you
think.

We know Adele wrote the lyrics but arguments have been made if the lyrics describe and follow the plot closely. I personally think it is not necessary to follow the plot when writing lyrics for a movie but it should be consistent with the theme. People like Wu's work of <battle of love>simply because the lyrics have a progression, and the words are narrative which everyone could relate to one's own life experiences.
Adele's lines are not necessarily being descriptive of the movie but rather congruent to the theme. As opposed to Wu's narrative style hers, in my opinion, is rather a declaration to the "bad guys", the allies, and the self.
The lyrics also have a progression. The process takes place from Bond's death and spiritual rebirth to M's death and the aftermath is that the death brought their
relationship to a spiritual level.
Let's take a look at the following lines:
-"Skyfall is where we start": Skyfall is Bond's family estate where he lived before he became a MI6 agent; and Skyfall is also where M died, so life is an evolving cycle in which beginning is ending and vice versa
- "A thousand miles and poles apart, Where worlds collide and days are dark": the distance between M and Bond at the moment of M's death is the distance between life and death(two poles); bombing destroyed the Skyfall( Bond's family house) and took away M's life, which crumbles apart both their world once and for all
- "You may have my number, You can take my name, But you'll never have my heart": it is their collective declaration to the "bad guys"; agent 007 is a number,and the Mother is a name, but our hearts are given to our souls; hence, we can stand together in life and death
Hopefully, you don't think I am over analyzing the lyrics. Really enjoy our brainstorm on the subject.

仰主任的英语楼真是极好的。

也贴一首我喜欢的英文歌：Father and son,喜欢boyzone的版本。
It's not time to make a change
Just relax--take it easy
You're still young--that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me--I am old
But I'm happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To become when you've found
Something going on
But take your time--think a lot
Think of everthing you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not...
How can I try to explain?
When I do--it turns away again
And it's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to go...
It's not time to make a change
Just sit down
and take it slowly
You're still young--that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me--I am old
But I'm happy
All the times, that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard
But it's harder to ignore it
If they were right--I'd agree
But it's them--they know
Not me. Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to go.

转来的。其实我不励志已经很久了
【生命中的下一个七年,你打算如何度过？】
一时心血来潮报了个口译班，其中有一位老师大概30岁，长得很漂亮，打扮也很时尚，口译功夫了得，每次都来去匆匆，中午就花5分钟的时间泡一碗面吃。后来才知道，她大学学的是历史，她的本职工作是一家公司的公关部经理，儿子已经5岁，她每天要上班、做家务、带孩子。与我们不同的是，她拥有人事部二级口译证书，每个月都有天南海北的会议翻译任务，还兼任这家口译中心的导师。
打开她的博客，已经更新了500多页，有2000多个帖子，全部都是每天她自己做口译练习的文章，平均每天两篇长的一篇短的，她坚持做这件事已经快10年了，非专业出身的她因为爱好英语而一直努力。
我对她表示钦佩，她说，10年前，她曾经看到一份调查报告，一个人如果要掌握一项技能，成为专家，需要不间断地练习10000个小时。当时她算了一笔账，如果每天练习5个小时，每年300天的话，那么需要7年的时间，一个人才能掌握这项技能。
她说，幸运的是，我知道自己想掌握什么技能，我只需要立马投入干起来就行了，我没有5个小时的时间，我每天只能学习3个小时，现在已经快10年了，我觉得自己差不多已经掌握了这个技能吧。六六在微博中也提到过这个理论，她说自己就是经过7年的努力写作，才成为一名作家，披头士乐队在成名前已经举办过1200场音乐会，比尔·盖茨在发家之前已经做了7年的程序员。
可是为什么你做了10年公务员还只是一名小职员？为什么在家里做了7年的饭，没变成特级大厨，反而发现婚姻到了7年之痒呢？
那是因为，你没有投入精力和热情来练习一项技能。每天上班只是看报纸上网应付各种琐碎任务，大家干吗你干吗，每天做饭只是为了让家庭正常运转，并不用专业的眼光看待这件事。
不要再哀叹大学毕业之后专业就丢了，如果从初中开始算起，12年的学校教育，就算每天学习一门技能2小时，一年300天，你也只有7200小时，还有2800小时的缺口，就算你毕业后每天坚持练习1小时，你需要10年。
为什么理工科的人更容易成功？只要他们毕业后专业对口，还是做的那点事，那么他们就等于1天8小时都在练习，这2800小时，只需要1年多就填补了。可我们很多人，尤其是女人，工作的内容并不是在练习技能，大部分是琐碎的人和事，实际上，是在荒废。
也许你会说，我是平凡人，我不想成为什么人，只想安安分分过日子。那只是你的错觉，时间在流逝，你每天重复重复再重复的那些行为，就是在塑造你，你不想成为什么人，可是你注定会成为什么人。
每天5个小时，如果你是用来看韩剧、网页、聊天，那么7年后，你会变成一个生活的旁观者，你最擅长的就是如数家珍地说起别人的成功和失败，自己身上找不到任何可说的东西。
　　花1分钟想一想，曾经最想做的事情是什么，然后每天去做这件事，7年后，你会发现你已经可以靠这件事出去混饭吃了。
　　哪怕你喜欢逛街呢，你规定自己每天逛街3小时试试？可能一开始你觉得很高兴，每天如此，你会发现无聊，再坚持下去，你就开始琢磨了，我逛街还能发现点什么，还能搞出点什么花样？坚持下去，7年之后，你可能会成为时尚达人、形象设计专家、街拍摄影师、服装买手……
　　生命中的下一个7年，下一个10000小时，你打算怎样度过？
