評陶傑論香港教育一文

25th Apr 2008 618 25 政經正道

我有時也會看陶傑的文章﹐雖說他被譽為香江第一才子﹐不過他的文章質素參差。寫得好的文章﹐見解獨到精廦內容一針見血﹐寫得馬虎的那些就完全不知所謂。最近我看了陶傑幾篇批評香港教育制度的文章﹐他照舊彈那套老調子﹐把香港教育說得一無是處﹐恨不得把兒童送出國讀書升學。香港教育改革問題多多人所共知﹐可以狠批的地方府捨皆是。可是批評也要有些見地﹐亂彈亂罵與維園阿伯沒有分別。讀到期陶傑在臺仔那篇「孩子不肯出國的時候」﹐我忍不往要寫幾句插陶傑﹐他的理論真的很狗屁不通啊﹗… [...]

Philip Pullman的「黑暗物質」三部曲是套讓我愛不釋手的小說。雖然這套小說的名氣不及「哈利波特」響亮﹐故事卻比後者更深刻感人。「黑暗物質」的主角是小… [...]

Hawkers in India

Hawkers in India are really annoying. They swamp you at any tourist attraction, trying to sell you junks and spoil your traveling mood. From our experience in Mystore, we learned that the best way to deal with hawkers is to ignore them. … [...]

Mysore is probably the only tourist destination feasible for a day trip from Bangalore, which is about 3 hours drive away. To be honest, there isn’t much to see. The Mysore Palace is the main attraction, it’s kinda neat to see how… [...]

兄弟

兄弟

看「兄弟」 完全是因為被它的星級演員陣容吸引﹐無線五虎將四缺一﹐搭單奉送陳奕迅﹐心想應該很的號召力吧。不過這齣電影是純男人戲﹐女角只是可有可無的花瓶﹐不過反正賣點是黑社會江湖仇殺﹐夾硬加插愛情線反而古怪﹐沒有女角的戲份倒是可以接受。「兄弟」的演員陣容很八十年代﹐題材也很八十年代﹐有點懷疑這套戲是否遲了二十年才上映。… [...]

National Treasure

今次從溫哥華去印度工幹我學精了﹐不再乘搭飛機舊沒有私人電視的德航﹐改坐被譽為最佳服務航空公司的星航。星航不單膳食好坐位闊﹐最叫人驚喜的是個人娛樂系統。每個座位擁有個人電視是長途客機的最低要求。星航的個人電視內置超過一百套電影和百多套電視劇集﹐選擇多得讓人不知應該看什麼才好。原本我打算看首輪猛片「驚天奪寶第二集」﹐不過翻查電影目錄時﹐發現星航很細心地同時提供第一集﹐好讓我這些沒有看過第一集的人不會無所適。心想反正沒有看過第一集﹐不如先看第一集再看續集吧。… [...]
