look through the rose-colored glasses

今天终于拿到了新眼镜。
第一次用有色的镜框,是sale girl说这个好,我也觉得戴上舒服,加上最近听E说起英语中的一句谚语,look through the rose-colored glasses:
ROSE-COLORED GLASSES - "Some unfortunate people never take their rose-colored glasses off, but everyone wears these spectacles occasionally. This attitude of cheerful optimism, of seeing everything in an attractive, pleasant light, has always been with us, while the expression itself goes back to at least 1861, when it is first recorded in 'Tom Brown at Oxford': 'Oxford was a sort of Utopia to the Captain.He continued to behold towers, and quadrangles, and chapels, through rose-colored glasses." From the "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997)
今天早上接到一个华德福学校校长的电话,说明天给我们安排了一个tour,我还发愁没有眼镜怎么办,结果下午就收到眼镜店的消息,说眼镜好了,提前了两三天 :)
