初次做這麵食時,用的是溏心蛋,後來看着看着,心想若是換上溫泉蛋,在若隱若現的乳白色裡,蛋黃看起來會像在雲霧裡的日落吧。末圖是某天在睡房打開窗簾看到的景象和在後山散步的小徑。我放着 Cicada 的黑膠唱片《走入有霧的森林》,看霧。

Somen in Soy Milk Soup for @obscura_magazine
總有數天是這樣。
每年當農曆年剛過、春天之始時,山上總有數天淹沒在一片白裡。窗外鑲起一片謐靜的白,花在霧裡,樹在霧裡,一切生命都在雲霧之中,迷迷矇矇。山嵐繚繞,我在茫茫裡打開雙手,看着掌心裡的空氣,沒捉穩,又溜走了。
「白茫茫大地真乾淨」,我想起紅樓結尾的一句。
風靜氣凝,萬物定格在氤氳雲霧裡,時間大概也沒再流動。在動的只有我,大概。走在迷霧之中,眼睛看見了卻抓不到。如果沒法捉緊,暫落在臉上可以嗎?我想像赤裸地被雲霧簇擁是怎樣的感覺。
衣襟不沾一點水,髮絲卻盡是濕濡。以為走過了,不著痕跡,每根髮絲卻把這一路上的山霧留下,一點一滴,斑斑戚戚,驅不散。我把山霧藏在髮絲裡,或許一天當青絲變銀髮,更好湮沒在山霧裡。
It always looks like this for a couple of days.
When Lunar New Year passes, at the beginning of spring, the mountains are enveloped in the sea of white. Muted whiteness framed in windows, flowers in mist, trees in mist, all lives are shrouded in the mountain haze. I opened my hands amidst, looking at the air in my palms – in my loose grasp, it slipped away.
“So clean the earth in the expanse of white”, it reminded me of the last line in Dream of the Red Chamber.
In still wind and air, everything was frozen in the haze, perhaps time as well. I was the only one on the move, perhaps. Walking in the mist, I saw it but could not grasp it. If I couldn’t hold it in my hands, could it stay on my face for a moment? I pondered how it felt when being hugged by the mountain mist naked.
No trace of dampness on my clothes, yet my hair was soaked. I thought I walked through it without a trace. Every strand of my hair however gathered it all along the way, bit by bit, drip by drip, welled up, undispersed. I had haze hidden in the hair. Perhaps when my black hair turns grey one day, it falls better into oblivion amidst.

[文法與詞彙Q&A] although, but, yet, even though, though, whereas, despite, in spite of 的區別
A. 表示「雖然、儘管、但是」
1. although, but, yet
-In theory it seems like a good idea, but I don’t think it’ll work in practice.
-In theory it seems like a good idea, although I don’t think it’ll work in practice.
-Although it seems like a good idea, I don’t think it will work in practice.
※注意:although, but 兩者只能取其一,不能同時並用
Although it seems like a good idea, but I don’t think it will work in practice. (X)
※ 亦可用 still、anyway (依然、還是) 來加強but, although的語氣
I wasn’t feeling very well, but I still went to work.
I wasn’t feeling very well, but I went to work anyway.
I still went to work, although I wasn’t feeling very well.
Although I wasn’t feeling very well, I went to work anyway.
※亦可用yet來替代 but
It’s a simple yet very effective system.
In theory it seems like a good idea, (and) yet I don’t think it’ll work in practice.
Used as a conjunction, "yet" is similar in meaning to "but," but it has a stronger effect on the reader or listener. There is perhaps more of a surprise associated with the former statement. Note that you can put "and" in front of "yet" when it comes at the beginning of a clause, but of course this is not possible with "but," so you can write the following sentence:
"The cyclists were tired and hungry, all but exhausted, (and) yet they refused to give up in their attempt to finish the race."

--------------------------------------------------
2. though, even though
though 比較口語,意思與although同,但though 可以放在句尾(當副詞用)
-Though he has lived for years in London, he writes in French. (雖然)—連接詞
-He has lived for years in London. He writes in French, though. (不過、但是)--副詞
even though (即便、儘管)用法與although 同, 語氣更強烈
-Even though I wasn’t feeling very well, I still went to work.
=========================
B. 表示「而、卻、反之」(對照比較之用)
-Indonesia has a lot of natural resources, whereas Singapore has none.
-Whereas Indonesia has a lot of natural resources, Singapore has none.
※ although 與 whereas 的比較
although 含有驚訝的意味 (通常是第二個子句所透漏的訊息令人意外) We had a reasonable year in Asia, although sales fell a little in Japan.
Although sales fell a little in Japan, we had a reasonable year in the rest of Asia.
Whereas 則強調對照,驚訝意味並不濃
We had a reasonable year in Asia, whereas sales in Europe were quite disappointing.
※ while 的用法
Inflation rose by 3% last year, while house prices went up 6%. (=whereas)
While there are still some issues to resolve, I think we should go ahead. (=although)
=========================
C. despite/in spite of 的用法
despite 與 in spite of 意思同 although,但是用法不同;although 是連接詞,後面可接子句,despite/in spite of 為介係詞,後面必須接名詞或動名詞
Although sales increased, profits fell.
Despite the increase in sales, profits fell.
Although I was ill, I went to work.
In spite of my illness, I went to work.
