梅芳姑

**梅芳姑**是金庸小說《俠客行》裡頭的人物。

梅芳姑是丁不四和梅文馨的私生女，習得丁梅兩家武學，年紀輕輕就成為梅花拳掌門人，除此也善於文學和烹飪，加上長相美麗，是個才貌出眾的女強人。

梅芳姑心儀上清觀門人石清，无奈石清却钟情于虽然温柔美貌，但却樣樣不如梅芳姑的师妹閔柔。梅芳姑失戀後上門報復情敵，將年幼的石中堅奪去，石清夫婦後來看到被以為是石破天的死嬰，把梅芳姑視為殺子仇人決計雪恨。梅芳姑則隱居在熊耳山枯草嶺，為了洩憤，自毀容貌。根據後文推斷，石破天極有可能就是被奪去的石中堅，被梅芳姑收為養子後改名為狗雜種，而且梅芳姑對他態度十分惡劣，幸好石破天本性善良，反而對她十分孝敬。

幾年後的某天梅芳姑不知何故外出許久未歸，下山尋母的石破天因此開始涉入江湖。後來尋女的梅文馨在俠客島上得知梅芳姑居處，輾轉被史小翠告知石清夫婦，石清夫婦、助拳的雪山派眾人和不知情的石破天跟著前往討公道時，才知道梅芳姑和石破天是母子關係。石清向梅芳姑表達出他為何選擇閔柔的原因後，梅芳姑傷心下自殺身亡。梅文馨抱起梅芳姑的遺體，露出點有守宮砂的手臂，眾人發現梅芳姑仍是處子。
宋遠橋

**宋遠橋**是《倚天屠龍記》中的角色。武當七俠之一。

最大絕學是武當派鎮派之寶「武當太極拳」，集道家武學之大成的拳法，講究太極圓轉，永無止境，用意而不用力。

概述
--

**宋遠橋**是張三豐的第一個徒弟，有一子「玉面孟嘗」宋青書。

武當七俠之首，他總是一副溫文儒雅的風範，別人有事求他，他總是盡力幫忙，為人穩重踏實，沖淡謙和、恂恂儒雅，頗有君子之風範，武功高強，處事又極公道，在江湖上的聲望地位也非常高，遠在一般門派掌門之上。其戰鬥力與少林四大神僧相當。

遠征光明頂一戰率領武當派參與六大派，力戰明教五行旗，殺入光明頂後，與明教四大護教法王之一「白眉鷹王」殷天正展開激烈交戰，只比招式鬥個旗鼓相當。下山時和六大派被蒙古軍抓去萬安寺幽禁，各人被逼服下「十香軟筋散」，以致使不出武功，最後連同六大派被明教第三十四代教主張無忌解救出。

其子宋青書作為武當派第三代傳人，被張三豐和宋遠橋寄予厚望，被看好成為武當派將來的繼承人。但宋青書意志薄弱心術不正，先是偷窺峨嵋女弟子，後又被陳友諒設計殺死七師叔莫聲谷，成為武當叛徒。

其後宋青書加入峨嵋派，在峨嵋派掌門周芷若調教下，修練了九陰白骨爪。宋青書在少林寺屠獅大會中以九陰白骨爪殺死丐幫掌缽龍頭與執法長老；第三戰對上俞蓮舟時，被毫不留情的打成重傷，而後來在武當山上，宋遠橋放聲痛哭，挺劍欲殺逆子卻刺不下去，隨後挺劍自刎被阻止。最後由張三豐擊斃宋青書 (新版是宋青書戰後重傷而死)、革宋遠橋掌門一職，由俞蓮舟取代。宋遠橋自此專心精研「太極拳」，不管俗務。

俠客行

《**侠客行**》是金庸武俠小說之一，曾被多次改编为影視作品。书名取自唐代大诗人李白的同名诗作，而且这首诗在书中更成为武功秘籍的载体。

故事奇趣，浪漫而隱含哲理，是一篇武俠的童話和寓言，主人翁兼具佛道墨三家的感覺，格局仙氣瀰漫，俠義慈悲，佛法無邊，江湖依然險惡可是充滿陽光和樂觀之意，為天龍八部的段譽和虛竹的重新出發，笑傲江湖的前奏，與悲哀黑暗至極(總算苦盡甘來)的連城訣是強烈對比。

出世之時與天龍八部一樣為一部佛書，前者壯闊雄奇悲天憫人，本書活潑自在離苦得樂，不同的角度展現哲學思維與作者感受。

## 背景设定

以石破天的经历為主線，而由於石破天和石中玉相貌相似（本來就是孿生兄弟），小說描寫的正是因而引起的種種誤會。本來並無明確時代背景，與另一作品笑傲江湖一樣，基本設定為明朝某時期。

《**俠客行**》 - 李白

趙客縵胡纓，吳鉤霜雪明。銀鞍照白馬，颯沓如流星。

十步殺一人，千里不留行。事了拂衣去，深藏身與名。

閒過信陵飲，脫劍膝前橫。將炙啖朱亥，持觴勸侯嬴。

三盃吐然諾，五岳倒為輕。眼花耳熱後，意氣素霓生。

救趙揮金槌，邯鄲先震驚。千秋二壯士，烜赫大梁城。

縱死俠骨香，不慚世上英。誰能書閣下，白首太玄經。

## 劇情梗概

一名童丐狗雜種在一場武林爭鬥中撿了一塊燒餅來吃，誰知燒餅裡藏著謝煙客的“玄鐵令”。謝煙客為了早日解決有求必應的玄鐵令問題便教狗雜種去修炼九死一生的炎炎功，並故意引他走火入魔。狗雜種被人帶到長樂幫，被人誤會為長樂幫幫主石破天（即石清夫婦的兒子石中玉）雖然他身上的傷痕跟石中玉一樣，但石破天連「一」字都不懂，且和性格好色、殘忍的石中玉截然不同，被石清夫婦當為大病一場後忘掉了。當輪近臘月時，石中玉終於出現，但石破天仍願意以長樂幫幫主身份代替石中玉前住俠客島吃臘八粥。亦因文盲而無意中學到詩中「俠客行」的絕頂神功。石破天等人陪同丁不四和梅文馨等人尋訪梅芳姑時發現梅芳姑是他的養母（當時以為是生母），且是石清夫婦的殺子仇人。梅芳姑自盡後，眾人發現她仍有守宮砂。

* 梁發：我的特技是頭可以飛唷
* 梁發：不要再說砍我頭這種惡質的玩笑了
* 岳不群：沖兒、平之，好好想想梁發被砍頭前所說的話吧

## 🐦Personality🐦

Wispy is quiet and curious. When she has the courage, questions burst out of her, like a steady rainfall. She talks fast, tumbling over words, stuttering, mumbling, starting over. Her prose is much better, uncluttered and concise.

Wispy enjoys art and literature, abstract reasoning, as with logic puzzles. She likes how elegant math can be, an equation an abstract thought in itself. Science is interesting to her, but confusing, often leading to furrowed brows and frustrated frowns.

She enjoys music as well; she doesn’t play an instrument, but sings happily. She often takes part in choruses at school.

She is easily bothered, annoyed by pestering dragons, or loud commenting voices. It can make her snap sometimes, yelling angrily at the offender.

She is a very helpful and lovin, will do anything for her hummingbird friends. She's training to be a healer one day, and Mango is the best boy (though she's a girl, I just like that quote.) Mango is polite and is highly trained in martial arts and healing.

凌波微步

**凌波微步**
 門派
 創始人
 主要人物
 修行方法

**凌波微步**是金庸在其作品《天龙八部》中虚构的一种轻功。

簡介
--

**凌波微步**乃是一門極上乘的武功，每一步踏出，全身行動與內力息息相關，決非單是邁步行走而。它名出于曹植《洛神赋》—“休迅飞凫，飘忽若神。凌波微步，罗袜生尘。动无常则，若危若安。进止难期，若往若还。转眄流精，光润玉颜。含辞未吐，气若幽兰。华容婀娜，令我忘餐。”原意是形容洛神体态轻盈，浮动于水波之上，缓缓行走。其中“休迅飞凫，飘忽若神”及“动无常则，若危若安。进止难期，若往若还”可作为这种武功的注解。

段譽在大理國無量山琅嬛福地給玉像磕頭後，得到逍遙派武功精要秘籍北冥神功，凌波微步位于卷轴之末，要待人練成「北冥神功」，吸人內力，自身內力已頗為深厚之後再練這一頂級武功。

步法
--

凌波微步是依照周易六十四卦的方位而演變的武功步法，步法甚怪，須得憑空轉一個身或躍前縱後、左竄右閃，方合於捲上的步法。禦敵對陣時只需按六十四卦步法行走而無需顧忌對手的存在，是一種我行我素、天馬行空的上乘功夫。另外凌波微步是以動功修習內功，腳步踏遍六十四卦一個周天，內息自然而然的也轉了下個周天，因此每走一遍，內力便有一分進益。“凌波微步”、“北冥神功”和“六脈神劍”也成為段譽三大護身武功。

武敦儒

**武敦儒**是金庸小說《神雕俠侶》中的人物，是南帝四大弟子之一「耕」武三通及武三娘的長子，武修文的哥哥。

武敦儒穿紫醬色繭綢袍子，腰間束著繡花錦緞英雄縧，神色剽悍，舉手投足之間精神十足。

生平
--

**武敦儒**是武三通和武三娘所生，父母希望他，連同他弟弟武修文，棄武從文，不涉身險惡江湖。

武敦儒是郭靖弟子。後來與郭芙相識，成為好朋友，並同分弟武修文一樣暗戀郭芙，兩人甚至為了誰能娶郭芙而差點反目成仇。

楊過道：「大武哥哥斯文穩重，小武哥哥卻能陪我解悶。兩個兒都是年少英俊，武功了得，又都千依百順，向我大獻慇勤，當真是哥哥有哥哥的好，弟弟有弟弟的強，可是我一個人，又怎能嫁兩個郎？」郭芙怔怔的聽他說著，聽到最後一句，啐了一口，說道：「你滿嘴胡說，誰理你啦？」

楊過瞧她神色，早知已全盤猜中，口中輕輕哼著小調兒：「可是我一個人啊，又怎能嫁兩個郎？」他連哼幾句，郭芙始終心不在焉，似乎並沒聽見，過了一會，才道：「楊大哥，你說是大武哥哥好呢，還是小武哥哥好呢？」這句話問得甚是突兀。她與楊過雖是兒時遊伴，但當時便有嫌隙，又是多年未見，現下兩人都已長大，這般女兒家的心事怎能向他吐露？可是楊過生性活潑，只要不得罪他，他跟你嘻嘻哈哈，有說有笑，片刻間令人如坐春風，似飲美酒。況且郭芙心中不知已千百遍的想過此事，確是覺得二人各有好處，日常“玩耍說笑”，和武修文較為投機相得，但要辦甚麼“正事”，卻又是武敦儒妥當得多。女孩兒情竇初開，平時對二人或嗔或怒，或喜或愁，將兄弟倆擺弄得神魂顛倒，在他內心，卻是好生為難，不知該對誰更好些才是，這時和楊過談起，竟不自禁的問出了口。

楊過笑道：「我瞧兩個都不好。」郭芙一怔，問道：「為甚麼？」楊過笑道：「若是他二人好了，我楊過還有指望麼？」他一路上對陸無雙嬉皮笑臉的胡鬧慣了，其實並非當真有甚麼邪念，這時和郭芙說笑，竟又脫口而出。

郭芙一呆，她是個嬌生慣養的姑娘，從來沒人敢對她說半句“輕薄”之言，當下不知該發怒還是不該，板起了臉，道：「你不說也就罷了，誰跟你說笑？咱們快走罷。」說著展開輕功，繞小路向山坳後奔去。

郭芙素來喜歡熱鬧，雖然心中全然瞧不起楊過，只覺待聽他說笑，比之跟武氏兄弟說話另有一股新鮮味兒，實是一百個盼望他別走，說道：「楊大哥，咱們這麼久沒見，我有好多話要問你呢。再說，今晚開英雄大宴，東南西北、各家各派的英雄好漢都來聚會，你怎不見識見識呢？」

楊過欲阻止他和武修文為了郭芙決鬥，編了一套謊話將二人騙得團團轉，然而此事卻間接造成了楊過的斷臂。

後來與耶律燕相戀並娶其為妻。

They will be critical if you claim to speak a language, and then mistakes in the language, so be careful. However, in language learning, one must really check one's ego regardless, so a reality check is always nice.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/polygotcommunity/

* Polyglots (The Community) Facebook group. Active community of potential and full polyglots, founded by Jimmy Mello. It has many people, over 30,000 members, but there is very little administration on it, and the group is solely focused on polyglot works and language learning.

Goodbye

**Goodbye** is the ninth track off of NF's first record, I'm Free, under his new stagename.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Baby, I guess I don't understand

How did we let this slip through our hands?

We were so in love, and then we lost it all

And now it's over, now it's over

I know we said that we could just be friends

But I can no longer play pretend

Because the memories of us cloud my head

And I'm sorry, so sorry

**[Chorus]**

But, I have to say goodbye

Yeah, goodbye

I don't wanna say it

Nah, I don't wanna say it

I don't wanna say goodbye

Goodbye

But we have to

But we have to

**[Verse 2]**

And baby, I guess I can't comprehend

The fact that this could really be the end

I wish we could talk this out instead

But we've tried that

Haven't we tried that?

I'm doing my best to let this go

'Cause it's obvious that we're on different roads

You consume my mind when I'm alone

And I miss you

Oh, how I miss you

**[Outro]**

But I have to say goodbye (Why?)

Yeah, goodbye (I don't wanna do it)

Yeah, I don't wanna say it (I don't wanna do it right now)

Nah, I don't wanna say it (Yeah)

Yeah, I dont wanna say goodbye (I don't wanna say goodbye, no)

(Listen) But goodbye

(The fact is) But we have to (We have to)

(Baby) Baby, but we have to (But we have to)

French Word of the Day

French Word of the Day is a phone application that has a new word each day with a sentence that uses the word in context, and a translation of that word. It is a tool to increase basic vocabulary in conjunction with other tools. A user can scroll backwards through the days and see previous vocabulary, though can only go one day at a time rather than looking at an organized list.

## Reviews

Sleepy Polyglot

* It is a good app for learning basic vocabulary, but one word a day really does not get one to fluency. I've also had a few native users look at the sentences transcribed on the app, and they say that there were sometimes inaccuracies in the sentence. So, to use it effectively, one should not always trust the sentences they provides. Perhaps, write your own sentences for max effect. 7/10

Benny Lewis

Benny Lewis is a hyperpolyglot who can speak English, Irish, Fench, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin, German, Arabic and Czech. He is the founder of Fluent in 3 Months, has several Internet courses on ,
and has written a few books, including Fluent in 3 Months, Language Hacks German, Language Hacks Italian, Language Hacks French, and Language Hacks Spanish.

He believes that language learning is
just a means to the end to enjoying wonderful experiences in life, but anyone can learn a language.

He learned to be an engineer in college, and then went to Spain to do his work and learn Spanish. After six months, he could not hold basic conversations so he decided to abandon English entirely and focused on learning how to speak. Eventually, he did the same to French when he moved to France. He developed a series of tools for learning various languages. He does 3 month language challenges, attempting to get conversation in three months for each challenge.

He is criticized for false advertising by calling it Fluent in 3 Months as it is almost impossible to become fluent in a language in three months. However, he claims that it is always just an attempt and never a successful fluency in 3 months.
It is a catchy title. He has also, by his own admission, failed a few of his challenges by his standards.

His approach to languages is to speak from day 1, even if you know only a little bit. What you are able to say becomes engrained in your conversational ability. Consistency is key. He puts far less emphasis on reading and writing in the language-learning process, something others have criticized him about.
