德国柏林动物园的小北极熊克鲁特,是现在全市最受宠的小家伙,在最近一次电视台举行的投票活动中,高票当选“柏林市最重要居民”。乖巧可爱的小努特每天都要吸引无数游园者的目光。小北极熊克鲁特一亮相就拥有耀眼夺目的明星风采,马上就变成柏林动物园的镇园之宝。 这头可爱的小北极熊,有着一段凄惨的遭遇。去年12月,母熊妈妈生下克鲁特和它的孪生兄弟后,就把它们丢弃在了洞穴里。克鲁特的兄弟不久后就夭折了,而小克鲁特却幸运地被饲养员救了出来。从那以后,克鲁特的生活就大变样了,喝牛奶,吃鱼肝油,鸡汤进补,睡觉的时候抱着泰迪熊。也正是这种娇生惯养的状况,让一些动物保护人士看不惯了。他们认为这样做会破坏野生动物的天性。有的人甚至提出应该给克鲁特打毒针,让它安乐死。 不过,看着小克鲁特一双无辜的大眼睛,实在没人下得了手。柏林动物园最终还是决定留下克鲁特。柏林动物园园长说,如今全球气候变暖,再加上人类在北极附近活动频繁,严重威胁着北极熊的生存。科学家预测,照这样下去,北极熊将在100年内灭绝。因此,可爱的小克鲁特就越发显得珍贵。 纪录片《Knut und seine Freunde》叙述了小北极熊克鲁特如何征服全世界的故事。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
