Mangoes for Wisdom

As the need arose to send tropical mangoes to chillier climates, here they are, hanging over sidewalks, tempting people, absorbing the nutritious sap from the week-long endless downpours, under the low leaden clouds which are pressing the sultry air close to the ground. They huddle together to the accompaniment of sky-splitting peals of thunder, and get illuminated from time to time by either lightings or camera flashes. The rain season in all its swelteringly soggy beauty. And this year it is especially unbelievably refreshing.

May also serve as the illustration for this.

Hello, I am from Taiwan. I casually ‘pass by’ your blog and find it intriguing. I am also interested in translation and interpreting.

Thank you for responding.

Actually, what I am interested in most is English literature but I wonder if I can earn a livelihood by it in the future; thus, I want to be trained for interpreting and translation, which I am also intrigued by.

In Taiwan, many DFLL(外文系) graduates are going to be English teachers. Teaching is really a good profession but it isn’t my first choice.
