劇情簡介

瑪莉海恩斯（梅格萊恩飾）是一個擁有完美生活的嬌妻，有一個可愛的12歲女兒，丈夫是成功的華爾街金融鉅子，獨立自主的她，三不五時還會幫父親的服飾公司設計服裝，除此之外，她還是婦女委員會的主席，在各個公益機構擔任義工，不時舉辦午茶派對，生活忙碌又上流。

住在康乃迪高級社區的她，還有一群同樣獨立自主，並且在各自領域都有一片天的上流名媛好友們，她們無話不談，是彼此的避風港。像是任職時尚女性雜誌擔任主編的希薇佛勒（安娜特班寧飾），單身而自主，對流行嗅覺敏銳，在時尚界有很高的地位。

同樣在這個小圈圈的，還有為了生男孩不斷再接再厲的媽伊蒂克萊（戴博拉梅西飾），以及有個超級名模女友的同志作家艾麗絲費雪(潔達蘋姬飾)。

這四個女人的無拘無束生活，卻在一名性感年輕的香水小姐克麗絲托愛倫（艾娃曼德絲飾）出現後天翻地覆！意外發現瑪莉的先生與克麗絲有外遇的希薇與好友們，猶豫著該不該告訴瑪莉？瑪莉會不會因此婚姻不保？

而在這同時，希薇為了前途做出了一件讓她與瑪莉友情決裂的事！一場外遇搞得上流社會天翻地覆，但每個人卻也在如此的嘻笑怒罵爭吵之中找到了自我。

本片改編自1936年由克萊兒.布茲.魯斯（Clare Booth Luce）所編導的賣座舞台劇『The Women』，講述了幾個不同個性的上流社會名媛間，交織了友情、愛情、離婚及背叛的故事，全片沒有男性演員。

Carla Bruni - L'amoureuse

 

 

◎全球Top20超級名模
◎歐洲各大品牌指定代言人
◎歐洲眾多時尚品牌全球廣告第一女主角
◎法國年度最佳女歌手獎
◎專輯全球銷售高達3百萬張

Carla Bruni的第三張個人專輯，法國《費加羅報》在頭版評論，稱這為一次完美的成功，《費加羅報》同時指出，單從音樂層面講，她的聲音極具誘惑力，曲風也日漸法國化。卡拉布妮的沙啞而脆弱的聲音，成熟而有個性，表現嫻靜優雅，誘人而帶挑逗性，承傳了法系女Chanson歌手的風範，專輯上有14首歌，其中10首由她親自作曲填詞。Carla Bruni把得天獨厚的美麗軀體留在照片；深刻的靈魂就留在永恆的音樂國度。專輯包含了民謠、香頌和軟語呢喃，帶點慵懶的法國女人香。典雅而感性的歌聲，營造出憂鬱、孤獨而又浪漫的氣氛。 Carla Bruni的新專輯出發點是『愛』，述說時光流逝，追悼亡人，追憶歲月；40歲後的Carla Bruni，貴為法國第一夫人，以歌抒發她的心事，她絕對是認真的玩票，成績有目共睹，還要嘉許的是，她把銷售專輯的收入，捐作慈善用途。

●關於Carla Bruni
Carla Bruni1968年在意大利都靈出生，5歲隨家人移居法國，19歲走上伸展台，躋身世界名模之列。2002年底推出首張個人專輯，獲得巨大成功，2004年獲得法國年度最佳女歌手獎。2008年初，Carla Bruni（卡拉布妮）和法國總統Nicolas Sarkozy（尼古拉．薩科齊）在巴黎正式結婚。婚後，她已經不再是一名普通藝人，世人不再以一般眼光看待她的眼光，甚至有人把她與已故英國王妃戴安娜（Diana）相提並論，她的新專輯自然是今年法國娛樂界關注的焦點。

再次相信老天是不公平的，Carla Bruni就是色藝兼而有之!

在《Quelqu'un M'a Dit》專輯中,  (譯：有人告訴我)她沒有過於技巧的哼唱，因為隨性，所以一派自然慵懶，因為一派自然慵懶，所以耳朵輕易地就沉溺，毫不遲疑。

唱些什麼？說穿了不過就是一個女子的生活愛情感言，於是我們了解，原來極端美麗之下，也有害怕、矛盾、恐懼、爭吵、期待、心碎…….一般正常人會經驗的情緒種種，關於愛情（這一點，老天還是公平的J）。 

適合情緒需要輕輕撩撥、點到為止的早晨or閒適時光。

Recession-Proof Your Life

7 Ways To Recession-Proof Your Life

面對經濟不景氣的七個方法

Tuesday November 18, 11:09 pm ET
Amy Fontinelle

Are you worried about how a recession might affect you? You can put your fears to rest because there are many everyday habits the average person can implement to ease the sting of a recession, or even make it so its effects aren't felt at all. In this article, we'll discuss seven ways to do just that.

No. 1: Have an Emergency Fund  (要有緊急備用金)
If you have plenty of cash lying around in a high-interest, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured account, not only will your money retain its full value in times of market turmoil, it will also be extremely liquid, giving you easy access to funds if you lose your job or are forced to take a pay cut. Also, if you have your own cash, it won't be an issue if other sources of backup funds dry up, such as a home equity line of credit.

No. 2: Always Live Within Your Means(活得像你自己)
If you make it a habit to live within your means each and every day, you are less likely to go into consumer debt when gas or food prices go up and more likely to adjust your spending in other areas to compensate. Debt begets more debt when you can't pay it off right away - if you think gas prices are high, wait until you're paying 29.99% annual percentage rate (APR) on them.

To take this principle to the next level, if you have a spouse and are a two-income family, see how close you can get to living off of only one spouse's income. In good times, this tactic will allow you to save incredible amounts of money - how quickly could you pay off your mortgage or how much earlier could you retire if you had an extra $40,000 a year to save? In bad times, if one spouse gets laid off, you'll be OK because you'll already be used to living on one income. Your savings habits will stop temporarily, but your day-to-day spending can continue as normal.

No. 3: Have More Than One Source of Income(一個以上的財務來源)
Even if you have a great full-time job, it's not a bad idea to have a source of extra income on the side, whether it's some consulting work or selling collectibles on eBay. With job security so nonexistent these days, more jobs mean more job security. If you lose one, at least you still have the other one. You may not be making as much money as you were before, but every little bit helps.

No. 4: Have a Long-Term Mindset With Investments(長期投資)
So what if a drop in the market brings your investments down 15%? If you don't sell, you won't lose anything. The market is cyclical, and in the long run, you'll have plenty of opportunities to sell high. In fact, if you buy when the market's down, you might thank yourself later.

That being said, as you near retirement age, you should make sure you have enough money in liquid, low-risk investments to retire on time and give the stock portion of your portfolio time to recover. Remember, you don't need all of your retirement money at 65 - just a portion of it. The market might be tanking when you're 65, but it might be headed to Pamplona by the time you're 70.

No. 5: Be Honest About Your Risk Tolerance(誠實面對危機的容忍度)
Yes, investing gurus say that people in certain age brackets should have their portfolios allocated a certain way, but if you can't sleep at night when your investments are down 15% for the year and the year isn't even over, you may need to change your asset allocation. Investments are supposed to provide you with a sense of financial security, not a sense of panic.

But wait - don't sell anything while the market is down, or you'll set those paper losses in stone. When market conditions improve is the time to trade in some of your stocks for bonds, or trade in some of your risky small-cap stocks for less volatile blue-chip stocks. If you have extra cash available and want to adjust your asset allocation while the market is down, however, you may be able to profit from infusing money into temporarily low-priced stocks with long-term value.

The biggest risk is that overestimating your risk tolerance will cause you to make poor investment decisions. Even if you're at an age where you're "supposed to" have 80% in stocks and 20% in bonds, you'll never see the returns that investment advisors intend if you sell when the market is down. These asset allocation suggestions are meant for people who can hang on for the ride.

No. 6: Diversify Your Investments(多樣化分散投資)
If you don't have all of your money in one place, your paper losses should be mitigated, making it less difficult emotionally to ride out the dips in the market. If you own a home and have a savings account, you've already got a start: you have some money in real estate and some money in cash. In particular, try to build a portfolio of investment pairs that aren't strongly correlated, meaning that when one is up, the other is down, and vice versa (like stocks and bonds).

No. 7: Keep Your Credit Score High(維持良好的信用評比)
When credit markets tighten, if anyone is going to get approved for a mortgage, credit card or other type of loan, it will be those with excellent credit. Things like paying your bills on time, keeping your oldest credit cards open, and keeping your ratio of debt to available credit low will help keep your credit score high.

Conclusion(結論)
The best part about these habits is that they won't only serve you well during times of recession - they'll serve you well no matter what's going on in the market. But if you implement these financial strategies, a recession is less likely to have a significant effect on your financial situation.

Edelweiss

 

 

 

 

The Sound of Music (1965) - Song #8 - "Edelweiss"

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look so happy to meet me

Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss

Bless my homeland forever

小白花，小白花
每個清晨你都向我問候
嬌小而潔白
清新而明亮
你似乎很高興遇見我

你是雪中之花
願你能恣意綻放成長
永遠的綻放與成長

小白花，小白花

永遠賜福我的家園

 

 

電影真善美的男女主角

克里斯多夫普拉瑪Christopher Plummer

茱莉安德魯絲Julie Andrews

 

漢默斯坦創作

福斯電影公司眼明手快，以百萬美元購下此音樂劇的改拍權，又重金禮聘曾在1961年執導歌舞片「西城故事」而獲金像獎的勞勃懷斯負責掌舵，並且沿用了理查羅傑斯與奧斯卡漢默斯坦這對詞曲創作搭檔為舞臺劇所寫的插曲，果然為好萊塢歌舞片再創高潮。電影原聲帶專輯曾登上美國音樂排行榜長達300周，創下蟬聯銷售最佳專輯的歷史性成績。

這也是漢默斯坦35部音樂劇作品中最後一齣代表作，因為他在首演後九個月就去世了，在劇中常被誤認為奧國民謠的「小白花」一曲，其實是他創作的「天鵝之歌」。

Edelweiss是德文，也有人翻成"火絨草"，是奧地利的國花。

電影「真善美（The Sound of Music）」改編自故事女主角瑪利亞1949年的真人真事傳記「The Story of The Trapp Family Singers」。該書名在台灣譯為「真善美的故事」（原用"達菩之家"為譯名，後因電影「真善美」大受歡迎，乃於第二版時改名為「真善美的故事」），由丁貞婉女士譯，先知出版社出版（62年7月三版），譯筆非常流暢。

「The Story of The Trapp Family Singers」記載從瑪利亞離開本篤會修院，到達菩上校家擔任家庭老師，一直到全家逃離奧地利至美國開始新生活，並如何在困苦中，使The Trapp Family Singers（達菩之家合唱團）在美成名經過。瑪利亞以輕鬆筆法寫出其中的悲與歡，讀起來令人感動。特別是她樂觀信心的態度，說明了信仰對她的影響。
