Husby

在英國,沒有什麼可以比下雨天的星期日還要更無聊了!

Nothing can be duller than a rainy Sunday in the UK !

BBC East Midlands的氣象預報說,今天晚上的平均氣溫只有7度,出生在亞熱帶島國的我,對於夏天裡還能出現個位數的氣溫感到很無奈,還好我家老爺很識趣地從下午三點起就打開暖氣,讓我們在吃完Sunday roast後還能來一客太妃糖冰淇淋佐英格蘭草莓,為這慘澹的週日增添一絲夏天氣息。

The weather forecast of BBC news predicted that the average temperature would go down to 7 degrees tonight in the East Midlands , which is really unbelievable to anyone like me from a sub-tropical island. 7 degrees and summer time just don’t sound right!! Good thing is my husby turned on the heating from 3pm, so we could still have toffee flavour ice cream with English strawberries after Sunday roast, which also means we finally felt a small piece of summer.

我在英國當外籍新娘已經超過一個月,決定開始寫這個英倫外籍新娘日記,一方面磨練一下快要被遺忘的寫作能力,更重要的是跟我家媽咪update近況,因為她總是old fashion地認為,紙短情長,一樣的內容用寫的就是比蓬頭垢面地講SKYPE浪漫1000倍!

Since I’ve moved to the UK , it has been more than one month. I decided to write a diary of “the UK foreign wife”, which I believe can advance my writing ability. Also it is meant to be a daily report for updating my dear Mum, because she’s kind of old fashioned, and always prefers communication in words more than in the bloody SKYPE, especially when I just woke up in the morning, with my grumpy face, messy hair, and crumpled pyjamas.     

既然要寫日記,不如就從好好地介紹我家老爺開始吧!

我老公是土生土長英格蘭人,雖然在法國住了十年,練就一口充滿濃濃英國腔的法語,但他骨子是真的很British的,瘋足球就不用提了,他還喜歡打素有慢板棒球之稱的板球,每局六小時起跳,熱中那種跟上班時間一樣長的運動,應該稱得上是英國人top 3的怪癖之一。

Let’s start by introducing my husby! He’s a locally born and bred Englishman, although he lived in France for 10 years, trained himself to speak fluent French (with a strong English accent tho), he’s still purely British. Apart from the fact that he thinks football is essential, he’s also enthusiastic about cricket, which I will describe as slower baseball. I can’t help thinking that spending nearly one working day (at least 6 hours) for a game, might be one of the most eccentric things in the UK .

至於食物,原以為經過法國美食文化的薰陶,他會比一般英國人更容易承認英國無美食這句話,沒想到他還是時不時就會說:今天晚上來吃正點的fish & chips吧!好久沒吃了喔!但其實我們兩天前才吃過,他還堅持chips和薯條是兩種東西,就像英國人堅信白、綠花椰菜是兩種蔬菜一樣令然難以苟同。外國人公認最難吃的baked beans,我老公還是像一般英國人一樣,廚房裡總是要囤積個十來罐才安心。不知是我對他的法國背景期望過高,還是英國人就是這個調調,牛牽到北京還是牛!

Since he used to live in France , I reckoned he was more likely to admit that British food is a little bit boring, if we compared it with French. However, I was wrong, because from time to time, he would still come out with some ideas such as, “let’s have some gorgeous fish & chips tonight!” And he stores baked beans cans, like every British family does! The way he insists that chips and French fries are different things, just like the concept that broccoli is different from cauliflower, which I really find difficult to understand.      

老爺是薩克斯風手,年輕時游走歐洲,最遠甚至還去到日本,過著波希米亞式的音樂家生活,但令人意外地,儘管走遍世界各地,他和家人間緊密的互動從沒因為距離而變質,他說音樂是他的信仰,但家人永遠是他的first priority,這個在我變成他的家人後已經證明,不然我想他也不會在我們結婚後出一張叫”Moja”的專輯,更不會戒掉每週五晚上和哥們去pub小酌的嗜好,現在老爺正在積極戒菸,希望他能盡快成功,加油,老公我愛你!

He’s a saxophonist who travelled around Europe, even all the way to Japan , living as a Bohemian musician in the early days. Surprising that although he was always away from home, the close connection to his family never decreased. He always says music is his religion, but family is always his first priority. I had the proof since I’ve become his family, not only because he made an album named after me, but also because he quit smoking. I hope he can accomplish his goals very soon. I love you, husby!! :)
