No. 422, 4.9.2013 7 中大的咖啡文化似乎調校得愈來愈濃稠多姿了。和聲書院新開的 Café Tolo ,坐落的平台直衝吐露港的遼闊海景,喝咖 啡,喝氛圍,個中三昧,給發揮得淋漓盡至。 這裏品咖啡的器具也相當講究,白瓷杯身上闊下窄,獎勵的是豪飲而非淺嚐。橢圓的盛器,留的不只想像空間,也給 小甜餅一塊立錐之地。唯一可批評的是它們的搭檔—咖啡匙,較為樸實普通,有少許型格不符之感。 俗語中的齋啡(不加糖奶),其實一點不齋。咖啡冲出來色澤深邃,容易惹人沉思;杯面綴以一圈幽香的 crema ,是視、 嗅、味的三位一體,這些都可在 Café Tolo 的白瓷杯裏找得到。這個優雅閒適的咖啡間,尚是處女地,但相信很快會成 為校園咖啡文化的一股新勢力。 The coffee culture on campus is undergoing continuous refinement. The newly opened Café Tolo at Lee Woo Sing College, situated in a patio opening onto a full view of the Tolo Harbour, reminds the coffee aficionado that coffee drinking is not only about beans but the totality of the ambience of, well, drinking. The drinking utensils deserve more than an honorary mention. The broad-rimmed white cup rewards gulps more than sips. The oval saucer gets its shape for a good reason—to give hearing to the ever compliant biscuit. The only criticism is the spoon. Too unassuming perhaps, it needs to be groomed to go well with the team style. Quintessential coffee drinking requires no milk or sugar. Its sinking dark colour plunges one into deep thoughts. Its aromatic crema embodies the trinity of sight, smell and taste. All of these are found in the white porcelain of Café Tolo. Still virgin soil, this cozy and chic corner of the College would soon become a hub for coffee buffs on campus. 這是創校校長李卓敏博士於1965年就大學教學法顧問報告親筆簽署 致教務會成員及系主任的中文信函,另有英文版本。一字一句,皆以學 生福祉為大前提,正是中大長久以來的辦學理念。此信呈現李博士融 會中國與西方文化的氣度,與中大的使命契合。( 李博士信函摘自《中 文大學校刊》第一卷第十二期特刊,1965年6月。 ) This is the Chinese version of a letter issued and signed by Dr. Choh-ming Li, the founding Vice- Chancellor of CUHK, to members of the Senate and chairmen of departments in 1965 regarding the teaching methods advisers’ report. Reading between the lines, one can see how the well- being of students was given top priority, a policy the University has upheld to this day. This letter shows Dr. Li’s vision of bringing together China and the west, which is in line with the University’s mission. ( The Vice-Chancellor’s letter is reprinted from The Chinese University Bulletin , Vol. 1 • Supplement, June 1965, No. 12 )
