英文老歌- a summer place

Dear Friends:

多年前Fr. Thorton (美籍陶雅格神父)在台大外文系會話課上，問某一女生 "What was the movie you recently saw?"女生一時答不出來。半响後，陶神父再問， "Do you remember what's the name?"。她回答 "Oh,yes, it is Strange Love!!" 陶神父及其他同學茫然.....。陶用河南腔國語說『我怎麽沒看過?』真『奇』怪!全班同學哄堂大笑。

該女生目前定居美國，不知她仍否記得此事? 也許中國的『聊齋誌異』可謂 "Strange Love"，但年齢懸殊(不論女大男小或男大女小)，輩份有別的愛情故事呢? 東方人可能以異樣眼光來看，背後稱為『畸戀』(abnormal love?)；西方人則無此看法。『奇戀』?『畸戀』?只要兩情相悅即可。

 "A Summer Place......." 是1960年早期電影，中譯：(畸戀)內容叙述年青少女愛上成熱已婚男士的故事，由Richard Egan, Troy Donahue,及Sandra Dee合演。該片主題曲由Andy Williams 主唱(1962).

 A hot summer is always suggestive of  a nice summer place.Time flies, and summer is gone. Shortly, leaves begin to fall, Halloween comes around and winter is at hand.....

However in Taiwan, summer lingers, and a good summer place is still missed and needed.

Now let's get back to 1960s when too many interesting and funny young days of ours were kept fresh in our memory......

Do you remember how naughty Sandra Dee played a cute and defiant girl in the movie......
