7. A Postman in Docklands

"When  Docklands was really thriving many years ago, they used to have whole estates and rows and streets of houses which were all for dockers or related industries. All the people lived there. They had a very close-knit community spirit.
  And they certainly used to make all their own entertainment. And they used to organise trips; you know, days down to the seaside and things like that. And there used to be social clubs, for instance, where they had dances on Saturday nights and things, and various parties for the children.
  You'll still find in some of the old streets - where the dockers used to live many years ago - in those old cottages, you find a better spirit of community than you do in modern flats. It doesn't seem to have a soul any more, just straight brick and mortar and that's it; it's lost its spirit."

"You Are the Apple of My Eye"的由來及意義

跟東方一樣，在西方，人們也一直都把蘋果視為一種吉祥的水果。不是還有另一句英文諺語："An apple a day, keeps doctor away"。所以"apple of one's eye"就是指「珍貴的東西」，也就常被引申為「珍愛的人或物」。

所以說You are the apple of my eye，意思就是指說：你是我的摯愛，或是同等意思。

"the apple of one's eye"這個表達法早在公元885年，艾爾弗雷德大帝（King Alfred (the Great) of Wessex）用古英語寫就的文章Gregory's Pastoral Care中就出現了。
古英語原文：[hwæt on eæs siwenigean eagum beoe ea æpplas hale, ac ea bræwas greatigae, foream hie beoe oft drygde for eæm tearum ee eær gelome of flowae, oeeæt sio scearpnes bie gewird eæs æpples.]

莎士比亞在1590s，其劇作《仲夏夜之夢》( A Midsummer Night's Dream)中也用到此表達：
“Flower of this purple dye,
Hit with Cupid’s archery,
Sink in apple of his eye."

“the apple of one’s eye” 在《欽定版聖經》(King James Version,1611) 年中也多次出現：
•《申命記》( Deuteronomy ,32:10)

原句為[He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.]
•《詩篇》（The Book of Psalms 17:8）

[Keep me as the apple of thy eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings]
•《箴言》（Proverbs 7:2）

[Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.]
•《耶利米哀歌》（Lamentations 2: 18）

[Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.]
•《撒迦利亞》（Zechariah 2:8）

[For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.]

在現代英語中"the apple of one's eye"最早出現於英國小說家司各特的作品《修墓老人》中（Sir Walter Scott's Old Mortality, 1816）：
"Poor Richard was to me as an eldest son, the apple of my eye."

The Apple of Ones' Eye的字面意思是“某人眼裡的蘋果”，在這裡，apple指的是the　pupil(瞳孔，​​眼珠)，大概因眼珠圓的象蘋果之故。瞳孔是眼睛最重要的部分，失去瞳孔，光線就無法通過虹膜中心的圓孔進入眼內而變成了瞎子。所以，這個成語常用來比喻象愛護眼珠一樣愛護某個最心愛的人或珍貴的東西，即表示a cherished person or object;sth extremely precious to one; sb dearly loved等意。

小明：不懂的會誤解喔～((=ﾟ3ﾟ=))『我是哆啦A夢』現在流行著史蒂夫乔布斯的“蘋果”，我曾經被某人問過，“是哪一顆蘋果呢？是史蒂夫乔布斯的《Apple》蘋果吧？”( ;谷)
