Rosemary





Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Remember me to the one who lives there,
For once she was a true love of mine.

Tell him to buy me an acre of land,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Between the salt water and the sea sand,
Then he shall be a true lover of mine.

后来,true lovers结婚成家养儿育女,住在意大利南部的一个小村庄里。在当年做为嫁妆的那一公顷地里种满了香芹、鼠尾草、迷迭香和百里香。早上,采一把放进咖啡里,中午,又采一把放进面条里,每天下午茶时,又采一大把和茶一起泡,晚上,牛排,奶酪,烤鸡上又洒上满满的一层⋯很多很多年过去了,他们变得臃肿肥胖,可一天到晚活得兴高采烈,马上就要过120岁的生日了⋯

今天听NPR讲,南加州大学的科学家在意大利南部的一个村庄里发现至少300多个超过了百岁的老人,而且个个肥胖抽烟喝酒⋯到底什么原因这么多长寿的人呢?他们不论吃什么,都会放很多迷迭香⋯
