บทกลอนของคุณภรรยา

เขาไม่ชอบแกงเผ็ด

และเขาไม่ชอบเค้กที่ฉันทำนัก

เขาบอกว่าขนมปังที่ฉันทำมันแข็ง

ไม่เหมือนกับที่แม่เขาทำเลย

ฉันไม่ได้เตรียมกาแฟให้เขา

เขาไม่ชอบให้ทำสตูว์

ฉันไม่ได้ซ่อมถุงเท้าให้เขา

เหมือนกับที่แม่เขาทำ

ฉันเฝ้าครุ่นคิดหาคำตอบ

แล้วมองย้อนหลังไป

ไม่มีอะไรเลยที่ฉันจะทำ

ได้เหมือนกับแม่ของเขา

ฉันยิ้มได้เมื่อฉันได้เห็นแสงสว่าง

สิ่งหนึ่งที่ฉันควรทำก็คือ

ฉันจะต้องเข้ากับสิ่งรอบตัวให้ได้

ยืนเคียงข้างเขาอย่างมั่นคง

และทำอย่างที่แม่เขาทำ

A Wife’s Poem

He didn’t like the curry

And he didn’t like my cake.

He said my biscuits were too hard…

Not like his my mother used to make.

I didn’t prepare the coffee right

He didn’t like the stew,

I didn’t mend his socks

The way his mother used to do.

I was looking for a clue.

Isn’t there anything I could do

To match his mothers shoe

Then I smiled as I saw light

One thing I could definitely do

I turned around

And slapped him right…

Like his mother used to!!!!!

TERM: NOUN PHRASES

Definition:

A noun phrase is either a single noun or pronoun or a group of words containing a noun or a pronoun that function together as a noun or pronoun, as the subject or object of a verb.

Examples of noun phrases:

EG: John was late.

('John' is the noun phrase functioning as the subject of the verb.)

EG: The people that I saw coming in the building at nine o'clock have just left.

('The people ... nine o'clock' is a lengthy noun phrase, but it functions as the subject of the main verb 'have just left'.)

Noun phrases normally consist of a head noun, which is optionally modified ("pre modified" if the modifier is placed before the noun; "post modified" if the modifier is placed after the noun). Possible modifiers include:

Determiners: articles (the, a), demonstratives (this, that), numerals (two, five, etc.), possessives (my, their, etc.), and quantifiers (some, many, etc.). In English, determiners are usually placed before the noun;

Adjectives (the red ball); or

Complements, in the form of a prepositional phrase (such as: the student of physics), or a That-clause (the claim that the earth is round);

Modifiers; pre-modifiers if placed before the noun and usually either as nouns (the university student) or adjectives (the beautiful lady), or post-modifiers if placed after the noun. A post modifier may be either a prepositional phrase (the man with long hair) or a relative clause (the house where I live). The difference between modifiers and complements is that complements complete the meaning of the noun; complements are necessary, whereas modifiers are optional because they just give additional information about the noun. 

Noun phrases can make use of an opposition structure. This means that the elements in the noun phrase are not in a head-modifier relationship, but in a relation of equality. An example of this is I, Caesar, declare ..., where "Caesar" and "I" do not modify each other.

The head of a noun phrase can be implied, as in "The Bold and the Beautiful" or Robin Hood's "rob from the rich and give to the poor"; an implied noun phrase is most commonly used as a generic plural referring to human beings.[2] Another example of noun phrase with implied head is I choose the cheaper of the two.

That noun phrases can be headed by elements other than nouns—for instance, pronouns (They came) or determiners (I'll take these)—has given rise to the postulation of a determiner phrase instead of a noun phrase. The English language is not as permissive as some other languages, with regard to possible heads of noun phrases. German, for instance, allows adjectives as heads of noun phrases [citation needed], as in Gib mir die Alten for Give me the olds (i.e. old ones).

วิถีชีวิต

วิถีชีวิตของคนบางคนก็เหมือนการมองดูกระจกเงา และบางคนก็เหมือนมองดูผ่านหน้าต่าง ทั้งกระจกเงาและหน้าต่างล้วนทำจากแก้ว เพียงแต่ว่ามีชั้นของปรอทเคลือบอยู่หลังกระจกเงา

คนที่ดูกระจกเงานั้นก็มองดูตัวเองนั่นแหละ ดังนั้นเขาจึงอยู่อย่างโดดเดี่ยวและนึกถึงแต่ตนเอง คนที่มองผ่านหน้าต่างจึงสามารถพัฒนาปรับปรุงให้ดีได้ด้วยการติดต่อโลกรอบตัวเขา

เรานั้นจึงควรเลือกวิถีชีวิตเพื่อตัวเราเอง

A way of life

Some people’s way of life is like looking at a mirror, and others looking through a window. Both mirror and window are made of glass, only there is a layer of quick silver behind the mirror.

One looking at the mirror, looks at himself, and so he is isolated and egoistic. A person who looks through a window can enlarge himself by connecting with the world around him.

We are to choose for ourselves the way of life.
