Michael Bond

这位先生在圣诞节，伦敦 Paddington Station火车站附近，买了只孤单小熊
于是，世界上有了只提箱旅行的英国绅士熊

我最喜欢就是它的外套duffle coat
以前，一天到晚琢磨着，买一件自己来穿
当然，我对它的雨鞋不感冒

这只熊在2007年还开始代言Marmite 酱
这种酱，非常出名的銷魂酵母精
不是一般人接受热爱的食物，但，如果爱它，肯定是疯狂热爱！
出名到，描绘它就一句话 LOVE IT OR HATE IT!
2007年，Paddington bear 的广告实在可爱

Paddington bear 是1956年Michael Bond写的
由 Peggy Fortnum女士（出生名为Margaret Emily Noel Nuttall-Smith）最先画的
1972年第一次制作， Gabrielle Designs 这家当时的小小公司
这家公司是夫妇俩Shirley and Eddie Clarkson运营
他们把小熊做出来，给他们的孩子Joanna Clarkson 和 Jeremy Clarkson，当圣诞节礼物

这里得提一句Jeremy Clarkson，他就是大名顶顶top gear的三大名嘴主持人之一
(Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May)
（其实，个人比较热爱 James May，尤其他的wine美酒学习介绍节目)
第一次，看Jeremy Clarkson节目，实际是他开车去法国，介绍法国菜
照例，把法国人讽刺得一楞一楞的


好了，远了
回来说熊和Michael Bond

帕丁頓熊(Paddington Bear，又譯為柏靈頓熊)是英國兒童文學中的一個虛構角色。他第一次出現是在1958年，隨後有14本麥克·邦德(Michael Bond)所寫的書是以他為主角，由佩姬·佛特南(Peggy Fortnum)繪製的帕丁頓熊圖像獲得專售權。圖畫中的帕丁頓熊比較像是一隻泰迪熊，也就是小熊維尼的原型，而非是一隻真正的熊。帕丁頓熊的靈感來源據說是邦德及妻子在聖誕節期間在一家店內所看到的泰迪熊，因為那隻泰迪熊是貨架上最後一隻小熊，他們覺得它會感到孤獨因此把它買了回家。
帕丁頓熊是一隻擬人化的熊，說英語，總是戴著一頂舊帽子，無論到哪裡都帶著一個裝有他私人物品的舊皮箱（後來打開才知道裡面有一個秘密隔間，帕丁頓熊在內放置一些他認為最重要的東西，例如：他的護照）。在初創及較早的版本中，他穿著一件厚呢風衣（duffle coat），及一雙威靈頓長統靴（wellington boots）。他總是有禮貌地以「先生」、「女士」或「小姐」來稱呼他人，很少直接用名字。他也總是心懷善意（雖然他會瞪他不同意的人），喜歡果醬三明治及可可，雖然大家知道他「非常努力想把每件事情做對」，但是他卻不斷惹出許多麻煩。

Michael Bond 生平
Michael Bond, OBE, (born January 13, 1926 in Newbury, Berkshire) is an English children's author. He is the creator of Paddington Bear and has written about the adventures of a guinea pig named Olga da Polga, as well as the animated BBC TV series The Herbs. Bond also writes culinary mystery stories for adults featuring Monsieur Pamplemousse and his faithful bloodhound, Pommes Frites.
Bond was educated at Presentation College, a Catholic school in Reading. During World War II he served in both the Royal Air Force and the Middlesex Regiment of the British Army.
He began writing in 1945 and sold his first short story to a magazine London Opinion. In 1958, after producing a number of plays and short stories and while working as a BBC television cameraman (where he worked filming Blue Peter for a time) his first book A Bear Called Paddington was published. By 1967 he was able to give up his BBC job to work full-time as a writer. Paddington's adventures have been published in nearly twenty countries.
He is married with two adult children and lives in London, not far from Paddington Station. The small bear he created has inspired pop bands, race horses, plays, hot air balloons and a TV series.
In 1997 Bond was awarded the OBE for services to children's literature.
On 6th July 2007 the University of Reading awarded him an Honorary Doctor of Letters.
Michael Bond's most famous books by far are the Paddington series, detailing the adventures of a bear from Darkest Peru whose Aunt Lucy sends him to England, carrying a jar of marmalade. He was found at Paddington Station by the Brown family who named and adopted him.

除了熊，他还写一只豚鼠（我们也叫它们荷兰猪）的故事 Olga da Polga
还有成人Monsieur Pamplemousse 和 Pommes Frites的系列厨房食物有关的神秘历险
