Summer in Provence ─Helen Yeh

Picture a land of great beauty, where ancient stone buildings meet your eyes as you walk along country roads and sleepy villages overlook endless fields of purple lavender. The scene you're imagining is Provence, a region of southeastern France where history, culture, and nature meet to create something very special.
Provence consists of several small towns, many of which date back to Roman times. In Arles, visit the first-century Roman amphitheater, where staged races and battles once entertained audiences. Discover the Church of St. Trophime, with its finely carved marble exterior. Le Cafe la Nuit is a good place to stop for an afternoon coffee. Its exterior remains basically unchanged from when Vincent van Gogh painted it over a century ago.
Avignon is another town that's well worth a visit. It was once the seat of the Vatican, recalling a glorious moment in history that one can explore today at the Papal Palace. This is the largest Gothic palace ever built, with a dozen towers and grand religious paintings on its walls and ceilings. At this palace—along with other locations in town—the Avignon Festival is held for three weeks every July. Offering hundreds of performances, it's a true treat for fans of theater and the performing arts.

普羅旺斯的夏天
想像有一片很美的大地,你在那裡沿著鄉間道路行走時會看見古老的石造建築,還有寧靜的村莊眺望著一望無際的紫色薰衣草田。你所想像的場景正是普羅旺斯,這是法國東南部的一個地區,歷史、文化和自然在這裡交融出非常特別的事物。
普羅旺斯由好幾個小鎮組成,其中有許多可追溯至羅馬時代。在亞爾,要去參觀西元一世紀的羅馬露天競技場,這裡上演的競賽和戰鬥表演曾經娛樂過觀眾。去探索聖托菲姆教堂,它有著精雕細琢的大理石外觀。夜晚露天咖啡座是停下來享用下午茶的好去處。它的外觀與一個多世紀前梵谷為其作畫時基本上沒有改變。
亞維儂是另一個值得一遊的城鎮。它曾經是天主教廷的所在地,今天你可以探訪教皇宮回想起歷史上那一段輝煌的時刻。這是有史以來所建造最大的哥德式皇宮,有十幾座塔樓,而牆上及天花板上都有宏偉的宗教畫。每年七月,在這座皇宮以及鎮上其他地方都會舉行為期三週的亞維儂藝術節。藝術節提供數百場演出,對戲劇和表演藝術愛好者來說是一件極愜意的事。

That's the way the cookie crumbles.
事已成定局,就接受吧。
這句話字面意思是「餅乾就是這樣碎掉的」,由於餅乾碎了就無法再拼成一塊,你只能接受,用於不好的事情發生時,就算你不願意除了接受也無法改變,因為世事就是如此,相當於「沒辦法,老天就是這樣安排的;認命吧!這就是人生」的意思。
 
同義說法
That's the way it is.
That's the way the ball bounces.
 

A: I can't believe your painting didn't get first prize in the contest! It's way better than all the others!
我不敢相信你的畫在比賽中沒有得到第一名!它比其他作品好太多了!
B:  That's nice of you to say, but the judges just didn't think so. That's the way the cookie crumbles.
你這麼說人真好,只是評審並不這麼認為。事已成定局,我只能接受。
