    香港不应该是文化沙漠

    人们一向这样看华南
    我想当然把香港扯下水
    当然是我的短视
    民主社会 人性化 也不禁欲 任由发展
    人民都无可厚非地有肉欲享乐上的追求
    甚至成为伪主流 -- 声色犬马 更客观或主观上 引人注目
    要逃避现实 有的是无边的奢侈糜烂
    要反思现状 也有不尽的资源 思潮 暗涌 可供发掘
    况且少受教条的荼毒
     
    你有压力 我有压力 可以纸醉金迷 可以学巴士阿叔怒骂街头 可以到城市论坛一抒己见 可以在自己blog上大放阙词
    任君选择
     
    妈妈说 亚马逊要变沙漠了 知道么
    哈哈 这不 逼得能人逸士 逃离山林 :p 纷纷现世
    隐于市-----自得其乐 还 如鱼得水
    让我这等星斗小民
    惊艳--膜拜
     

    Readings

    Despite this, Epicurus says that there are gods, but these gods are quite different from the popular conception of gods. We have a conception of the gods, says Epicurus, as supremely blessed and happy beings. Troubling oneself about the miseries of the world, or trying to administer the world, would be inconsistent with a life of tranquility, says Epicurus, so the gods have no concern for us. In fact, they are unaware of our existence, and live eternally in the intermundia, the space between the cosmoi. For Epicurus, the gods function mainly as ethical ideals, whose lives we can strive to emulate, but whose wrath we need not fear

    high heels

    subject of research with more fun
     
    i saw a documentary on TV about high heels. Some fun facets i wanna share:
     
    when talking with women on flats, men tended to lean back and forth and interact actively into the conversation;when talking with the group of the same actractiveness (faces, body, dress..), men tended to lean back, appreciate and be convinced. A galance how the sex appeal turns into real power.
     
    So negotiation held by a round table is necessary isnt it? It obviously saves men from that deadly distraction thus ensures fairness to both sides (i mean the ppl behind both sides, for the negotiator, losing a battle for an icecream cant be phased as "unfair"..:P)
     
    Manolo Blahlik:
    enthusiastic designer, looks kinda gay, elder. but admirable for his passion on beauty and talents. Got his design inspirations everywhere from daily lives. The designs look bold, wild but yet chic and playful. He dares use all kinds of elements, look contradicted separately but integrate well together.
    I also like his attitude towards celebrities, afterall, he said it makes his shoes for everyone (well, I advocate the quote by not looking at the price tags); Also amazed by his managing gaining such fame without any advertisement ---酒香不怕巷子深。。
     
    Jimmy Choo:
    I heard he's the malaysian guy who made shoes for Elisabeth II. Famous for his excellent craftmanship and beautiful designs. I was atonished when noting that there's actually a design team backing the company and he's only responsible for the manufacturing part. His image kinda vanished, for me af least, creativity is what makes human unique, not the perfection on techniques, esp. in this era where almost any tools is available. Of course qualities and stabilities are important, and it's what makes Jimmy superior, but depends how much you wish to spend, and wut kind of comfortness is demanded. Needless to say the effort from a 3rd world labour spending a minute besides the sewing machine oughts to be something much worse than the reputated Jimmy production...
    His commercials are seen everywhere too. I guess he's more of a sucessful business man. He also embraces his celebrity fans too.
     
    Pactric Cox:
    A Canadian, skinny middle-age designer. I used to percieve him as a handbag and accesories - designer but i learned that his expertee is literally on shoes:P London based business. He said his design is funky chic. From the few images seen on TV, his design seems sensative, detail emphasizing and fragile, just like his personal image. Thus he makes beautiful ballet sandals whose ribbons wrap around and showcase perfect legs but definitely expose imperfections..I guess they are not for housewives or career oriented women. Gd for those who make the photoshoot for his shoes:D
     
    菲冷翠 legend of Italy
    " the industry is there. The techniques are handed down over generations. You cant go to college to learn how to make shoes"
     
    Ferragamo
    brought along with his shoes case, extraordinary designs to his adventure to the States. Popular for decades. remember that famous marilyn Monroe in a white flying dress in the 7yr-itch?? SHe's on a pair of ferragamo heels. Imagine she's on a pair of flat/converse/...eventhough the famous lanvin ballet flat:P
     
    my choice??
    what makes you think i would sacrifice my super-comfi flat sandals? Always remember, for women, say is one thing, do is another..hahaha. when giving me this kinda pretty/comfi challenge, plz 1st make sure i could sit for all day long....

    待改进

     
    我的思想
     
    诘责, 自以为站在不同的角度看到别人不见的山花烂漫,
    却不明了大部分时候
    根本连助纣为虐的资格都不具备;
     
    习惯旁观, 片言只语地评论,
    是因为我写不出思维连贯文法平和的篇章;
     
    告诉自己喜欢言简意赅, 谓之引经据典也不至于太坏,
    实质囫囵吞枣,懒得细心揣摩, 闪个大概,
    以只可意会不能言传为藉口,希望别人补足所谓的尽在不言中
    皆因力有不逮,穷思竭虑却只能略窥门道,
    为了不自暴其短,遗漏的精粹全数略去
     
     
    不能将感受具体化,我其实是真的拙于言辞
    看到很华丽的词句
    很生动的比喻
    很形象的表达
    很幽默的词句
    很艳羡, 真的
     
    今天看到《〈青蛇〉〉的台词, (张曼玉的老戏了吧,没看过)
    里面青蛇白蛇的比喻,直抄了张爱玲的红玫瑰与白玫瑰的经典譬喻
    -朱砂痣饭沾子月光蚊子血-的那一段
    编剧不值得赞扬,
    诚然不是第一个吃螃蟹,
    起码临摹出彩,
    精彩的文字我读了也不过是水过鸭背,
    成片采拮,注明出处
    不是留余地给人品味
    而是名正言顺地拒绝费神思量
     
    所以一直艳羡艳羡艳羡没有长进,僵化生锈
    不是不悲哀的
     
    归根结底

    食品安全

    曼陀罗vs 鹤顶红
    基因改造物vs 苏丹红
    中国vs 加拿大

    当面临用10颗子弹射进脑袋或者接受一管爱滋病毒注射(的选择)时, 我象大多数人会选择后者,谁知道呢,说不定我们对后者免疫力---安省财长如是说,面对美国和渥太华双重压力下被迫接受两国软木材纠纷协议的时候
     
    我不关心加拿大政治, 上文是在地理作业剪报材料中读到的。 出于三句不离本行的奴性, 软木材上的纠纷在我思想上没有任何引申的机会。三分钟前在搜狐上读到近期苏丹红鸭蛋的报道倒是被我和加拿大地理联系起来了(好,我承认在我谷歌论文相关题材的同时浏览中国的娱乐八卦---对,我八挂)。加拿大幅员辽阔(言下之意:荒无人烟), 紧邻经济强国(同理:经济从属,竞争力“薄弱”,如果有的话)。美国是世界工厂,而且内需巨大。 加拿大在资金,规模, 技术,工艺上都毫无优势(非同档次个体不具可比性)退而求其次,充当原料供应地无疑是短期内的明智选择---经济可持续发展性不在讨论范围内---半个世纪以后的事谁关心啊, 该下台的下台到任的到任退休的退休政变的政变。

    “美国是以私有制经济为主体的资本主义国家”,商人们最想什么:赚钱(当然我们老百姓也想, 可是我们买彩票买证券,商人卖彩票买政权,档次上有一定差距)。 怎么赚? 1,提高单件商品利润; 2,扩大销售数额。怎样提高利润?买贵点,或者降低成本。怎样扩大销售数额?1,提高市场占有率; 2, 提高总需求(这个难啊, 又不是非典的时候买口罩)。所以呢。。。(总之,学经学商的自己分析分析,俺就不掺合了)。。。反正想赚钱的人想方设法降低成本。
    有些无良商人就加些工业染料苏丹红使我们的鸭蛋看起来红些(以前也有过鳗鱼绿奶粉石油月饼诸如此类),所谓色香味;
    ----------先不说道德上的谴责, 不要跟商人谈道德-----------
    在商言商, 这种是杀鸡取卵缺乏效率在缺少资本和其他必要条件下短视行为,
    而美国商人, 在几十亿美研究经费投下去务求 “一切皆有可能” 的推动下, 有了举世瞩目的创意和成果(鼓掌! 烟花!)

    --我们可以在极地上种出麦子了, 因为鱼的耐寒基因移到麦子上---
     
    --我们种出不怕病毒的烟草了,因为细菌的抗病毒基因移到烟草上---
    --我们养出几天就成熟上市的鸡,不就是几针类固醇激素24小时灯光无间断喂食终生禁锢就解决的小事儿嘛---
    --我们还发扬废物利来用节约成本羊脑喂牛, 人参茯苓猪是法拉利的买卖可是本田的生意更好赚---

    理直气壮的美其名曰, 这只是古人做法的延伸,祖宗们不都会选种杂交嫁接嘛-千里马驹长大都比缜马跑得快,挂绿就一课不接到桂味上雷劈死了怎么办?---水稻跟谁到果树根果树可以理解。马跟驴也算了,而且骡还不能跟骡。可是古人不至于疯狂至为了养出飞马真的把鹰跟马杂一起,就算是也有心无力。没有人知道打开潘多拉的盒子有什么后果,我们总自以为是。 切尔诺贝尔的自动毁灭装置最终也赶不及派上用场。
     
    一段经过无数次验证的修补基因,一个深思熟虑的载体,看似无懈可击的再结合段设计,成熟的技术,当你把它真的放到人体上,放到基因库里,你永远不能预料到有什么可怕的结果(详情参阅《自然〉02年头条,关于严重综合免疫缺陷基因疗法失败的头条)讽刺的是, 人们总是面临两难的选择, 免疫缺陷还是白血病? 10年还是15年?
     
    哎呀,你想太多了吧。 这小麦到了肠子里连糊糊都不是了。嗯唔(加上食指扫过60度,拇指中指掂下眼镜双眼平视轻轻瞄一眼再往下看---电影“穿帕达的女魔头”阿曼达的经典动作, 啊,爱死梅利尔的演技)。永远不要低估你的敌人---肠子不是锡纸,胃酸不是硫酸,变质酶不是所向披靡!! 而且谁说基因污染一定要吃进去?皮肤呢?呼吸道呢?只要那么一小段奇怪的东西进入你的细胞,就不是控制范围内的事了。 谁知道鱼的基因到了麦子里会不会稳定下来,没准跟超级敏感元什么神经毒药相似转几个核糖体就行了?自然界几万年做的事,几年加速过来其他周围事物却没有时间适应怎么看怎么别扭。
     
    还有羊脑呢, 羊脑那个不是基因,蛋白质, 一个可以把我们脑袋变成海绵(状)的蛋白(不要笑, 这不是比喻,疯牛症就是这么样的,牛牛为什么疯, 脑袋都装海绵了能不疯吗?)
     
    基因改造了的麦子,亩产上万斤。
    羊脑牛骨髓喂牛,便宜。
    加拿大的选择是:种,养, 卖美国市场,经济短期内保证无恙; 种其他,其他养,卖其他市场(欧盟日本不欢迎改造的,也不欢迎加拿大牛),经济崩溃。所以呢?爱滋针吧, 基因改造吧。 白人不是1/100有爱滋抗入侵的能力吗(他们的t细胞缺少某种使病毒进入的接受体蛋白)
     
    呃, 对了。 我在南京第一次吃小龙虾,05年,被其鲜味惊艳。 后来偶然看到小龙虾是怎么养的,还是05年, 就再没有吃了。
    不记得什么时候第一次吃龙虾。中国的龙虾希望就不要这么大老远的从加拿大进口了。 反正听说加拿大最甜的龙虾在纽芬兰,哈里法斯。好像是跟小龙虾的鲜美的原因差不多。你知道,哈里法斯是一个小城,没有什么污水处理,就只有直接排出海岸了。魁北克, 人多,也穷,不靠海, 污水也只能从哈里法斯出海。 龙虾是近海岸养殖的。加拿大龙虾好像在价格上也还有竞争力。
     
    (可能说的不对,不准, 将就着看,懒得查字典)  近来食物安全挺热的,我也侃侃:)
     

     

    ONE further discussion of GOD

     
    As stated in the blog, I did not buy the skateboard model either. Anyone who could foresee the disasters and has the ability to stop it from happening altogehter should prevent it, if he's sensible. Especially in the cases where thousands of lifes were wiped out all at once, and who are full of sins lost their life, as well as those who have none...That's why I said if god loves human like my father loves me, he couldnot have done all of these throughout human history. Yup I also think of the following alternatives that might explain,

    1. He has a different ideology or value system or logic that is not easily percievable or appreciated by the minds he created.In that case bible is the best he could do to try to disect a little of the values but left a lot of warnings in human language. By validating the assumption, and since no one could tell what god's thinkning and wut he really values since he who with unlimited power couldnot even explain, how dare we? So, wut we think are unfair since punishment was unexpected on the good ppl doesnot excist. Those who have less guilt might not be less guilt, in god's standard, although he meant so, in our intepretation, from the bible.
    Kinda similar to your "not a nice guy" explanation. Aloof observer. I find his not lending-a-hand behavior an excuse, he doesnt think wut we consider goodmen are worth helping.
     
    2. Bubble model, that's a descent one. Wut an excuse and reality~ He creats the world,but has no ability to modify, things simply go beyond control. Sounds like a tragety of nuclear power plant leakage or those sci fic describing talented scientists creat some undesired moster mutants~~ Hmm. in that case i prefer one to responsibly tell the truth, not to cover up and ask for faith. You may argue that even if we know there's no one who could make a final judgement, and disasters still occur, we still couldnt change anything. Wut's even worse is that ppl will fall in desparation cuz we lost our final reserve. Without the believe, the distruction of the world may accelerate. Well, all i am arguing is he shouldnt have manipulated our believes. Give us advices and instructions.  Let us choose. There are possibilities that ppl would not listen to rationals or reasonings, or they didnt care for others. In that case religions, believes of god was useful. By appearing authoratative or unquestionable, those who were made believed might hesitate to do the crime or even think of it. Is religion a mentality tool per se, so that when we are looking at ppl we hated so much cuz of the harm they do but still living well, we could tell ourselves, judgement is awaiting:)
     
    It's logical and easier to accept that he's not unlimited, otherwise, is he indifferent with binladen in attacking the pantagon killing the CIA/FBI staffs and other innocents. ~~
    The logic is perfect, just it reminds again how we are vulnerable, I prefer the chinese way of explaining it, fate."different paths lead to the same destiny殊途同归" There's another logical trap. If life is  pre-set, even if u try hard in order not to regret later on, the result will not change. But if you dont, you somehow know that without effort there's never a chance of success. Or life is preset in a way such that even the struggling of making a decision, the dilemma, and the decision that finally comes up, are pre-set. Hmm. so when we are trapped in a fog where prediction is not feasible, making effort seems a better choice of minimizing uncomfort at the time. And, making ourselves faithful, seems to help making decision quicker or affirming our choice.
     
    By accepting god is not limited, we find a mental shelter where to avoid the ironic truths of our incapacities, the chaos, conflicts,..So is this why it's forbidden/offended to discuss topic with the faithful cuz they know where the answer lies in their hearts, surfacing the question is just like sticking a tiny needle into their most colorful bubble...

      他笑了:"那我不是星期天出生便是星期一出生的了。"

      "真的吗?"她朝他笑了笑。

      "那你是星期几出生的?"

      "星期四--"

      "星期四,星期四是--"他一时间记不起所有的歌词。

      她重复一遍:"星期四出生的孩子,要离开自己出生的地方很远。"

    谁说兔子要吃胡萝卜?

    兔子和胡萝卜好像密不可分。 就像猫要吃鱼一样天经地义。 兔子吃胡萝卜的意象固然美妙,则二者的关系必然乎??
    1。 生存?
    会吗?据理说只要有充足的成长必需的营养成分(怎么好象婴幼儿奶粉广告~~), 满足其身体发育的需求就够了。好比人, 不吃馒头可以吃面包,不喝牛奶可以喝豆浆, 要不光吃维他命+蛋白粉一时三刻也无大碍。当然这有味道好坏的区别,也有个人喜好,囊中充裕与否的问题。鱼翅捞饭谁管得着啊?所以这不在讨论范围内。我们假设兔子这个特殊的族群是匀贫富, 绝大部分个体成员偏爱胡萝卜。 因此兔子可以爱萝卜, 可是萝卜不是身体能量的唯一来源。 要是这样的话澳洲也不会兔患成灾,宠物店里面也不会有猫粮。
     
    2。就近可取性?
    野生的胡萝卜?兔子祖先生存了这么久,其起始可以追溯到nM年前。。。根先有鸡还是先有鸡蛋不同; 也不是说一定先有光合植物才有植食动物。 这总的来说是这样子,第一个植物肯定是出现在这个吃的家伙之前。 可是我们讨论单个个体, 兔子,萝卜, 就不能这样套。 这往下发展,衍生衍生着, 有什么先来后到可言~~某个物种可能雷劈死了,有些可能捡了好运在风凉水冷的地方不思进取, 有些被暴晒两下变异了~~扯远了~~ 好,胡萝卜是农作物--〉人来耕--- 所以人之前, 谁种给野兔子吃? 好好的野草到处是。。。哪个兔子这么耐心挖人参似的找那一两个野萝卜?不活了?
     
    兔子打地洞?
    好好,就算野萝卜成片成片的长得欢, 非的引诱兔子去吃。。。可是兔子也得晓得挖才行。 猪都会挖truffle, 那兔子还不会挖萝卜?注意:请不要假设兔子比猪聪明。就算是,萝卜比truffle好吃? 值得放着大好野草不吃, 每顿折腾?
     
    对于住在集中营的兔子,喂给胡萝卜, 代替难闻单一的饲料,是恩典还是我们自以为是的恩典?操纵得太久太顺心。 人。。。
     

    That you do not prove its existence does not prove its non-existence

     I've discussed the God's existence question with a Christian friend. Not that I was a geek, became philosophical or had too much time in hand, I was just curious: the Catholics and the Christians have been denounced that how we human are beloved by God. If GOD lexist, why do God allow (approve should i say) sufferings? While there sufferings brought us tremedous pain and seemed endless, how could one still expect human to 'have faith' under the circumstances? , (ironically, that's the definition of faith, isnt it?)
    She did not provide me an answer, unfortunately. She told me that she became faithful since something happened to her that made her believe those were far too belivable to be classfied simply as "coincidence" or "luck". She did suggest me to go to churge with her, address the questions to the priest and see if he could provide a satisfying answer., or at least, a convincing one.
     
    I was reluctant to go, as one who knows me well shall imagine, not that I was too pride or had an prejuidice against this religion. I did wish I could have the luck to get the answers from a regional church priest. what my past experience told me otherwise.  I consider myself as somehow open minded: if something that could talk a billion ppl to believe or at least paritially believe in it, especially that there are some promonent members with extrordinary minds in that group, that thing MUST have something that is worthing noting. I have had visited the church several times, each accomanied by some Christian friend. The first time was about some miracle sharing meeting (i dont know if i got the terms right, anyways, it was about this sort of things), and it felt like a direct sale gethering (i meant no offense, that was how i felt at that moment). The others, well, sole plays of some ordinates: neither eyeball capturing or exciting, i know, they are not supposed to, David Letterman's late night show you assuemed eh? then, please, at least somehow brighten up my dull mind or be sacred. No, even worst of all, the priest voted some morally unacceptable (only by me?) examples to promote the "faith".
    Pretty disappointing.
     
    Days ago i read the "angels and demons" by Dan Brown. THe author, in order to write a profitable novel to keep his living (never a low end one , plainly) I assumed, would have put some effort in investigating the topic of religions, otherwise how could he provide such resourceful facets about the subject yet unfamiliar and facinated by most of us? In his story, a swiss guard asked the camerlengo (the pope's servant) exactly what I was wondering all the time, the "wise" man (in the portait of this book) answer this was the chance GOD allow us to learn. He is always able to, prevent anything bad from happening, but only from these events human learns, and grow. He explained by providing an analog: a father who allows his son to skateboard even though he foresees there will be danger and pain.
     
    Well, I dont know if Brown had privately discussed such an issue with anyone in authority of this matter, (may he have a tea party with the camerlengo in the Holyland, as claimed:) , digged out the answer from literature (of course in novels we expect no systematic citations or reference) or just somehow figured it out. At a first glance it sounded convincing for me. Right, he loves us like our father, he sure will allow us to learn from pain "no pain, no gain"....But wait...why do we have to have pain in the first place? where are they from? Greed? Jealous?
     
    Let's assume they are the origins, that is to say, the bad temperaments rooted in human nature. I know we are never prefect, never close to. So cant he erase such dark side from human nature that everyone becomes saint then there would be no arguments, disputes, battles, war...
    Well, if you say, we ought to equit with these characters, in order to survice on this land, because of our limited resources and growing population. Again the point, cant he make the earth heavenly without desserts, drought, flood thus no subsequent famines, plagues..
    one may just say human wouldnever satisfied with what they've already had, but do we even have the chance to have whatever we want? Please, throughout our history, at least provide us one such chance to allow us to show our potentials.
     
    No. never the chance. Just like many of the elders (or adults when we were children), as we know they are capable, he did not quite lend his hand or interfere with what we were doing, even if we consulted, he presented us a set of cold rules: here are what u need to obey. If we refuse, then, well, "dont say that I didnt warn you the consequence ahead. Now you are responsible for what you've done". He observed, aloofly.
     
    Let me tell you what my dad would do, if the consequence is as terrible as many of the sufferings occuring daily on this planet. Of course he would warn me, as you can imagine. if i insist, "what my daughter trying to do is devastating for her"--he would do everything to prevent this from happening, yes, by all means. Obviously the outcome maynot be always good, not close to what it intended to be or completely opposite (a famous example is committing suiside after a couple of lovers are violently separated), parents are often being criticized, so are we-- overprotection leads to loss of immunity.
     
    Be aware, man. None of us are omnipotent. Unlike the one who is supposed to assert his authority, his guidence , his savery, Jeasus@$%*&!
     
    I fall in a logic trap of circular argument???Fine. Let me come back to the title. Phew~~~Wait a sec, let me clear up my mind...
     
    Ok, we know these biotechnology stuff, some princibles, some fundations. We have some observations. We can have some manipulations, simulations, thus creations. Before we thought there is only one who could do this, now we know some secrets, then what?
     
    Behave!
    you know some, so what?
     
    We were children, we watched our dad built a house, drove a car, did some impossible things. Now we grew up, we can somehow do this, but this does not prove/side prove anything about the abilities. This is simply how everyone does it. If everyone does, there might be some advantage of adopting the particular method, say, easiest, most convenient..etc.
     
    Let me put it this way: we know how cells replicate. we somehow also know how to let them replicate. This maybe carefully designed, (by god, in this argument), or just exists as it is. When he invented (creat, i should say) so many things, he certainly need some tools to maintain effecient management to prevent chaos. Imagine each type of cells on earth replicate in a different fashion! Thus, he, or mother nature, or whoever, adoptted a set of rules, to govern something, make them have some automaticities. By incidence (or not), we discovered the rules. We were amazed. Playing around, we could somehow acheive to confidently use it to make some toys nowadays. So do we. What does this imply? Nothing. We could continue to focus on the new toys. But this does not serve as a piece of evidence of rejecting creatism.
    Natural selection can also be one of the rules, cant it?
     
    Please note, i am not a proponent of either. Either is possible. A debate forever.
     
    However we are somehow clear that what we have is ourselves. He is powerful, if exists, and will not generously assert it. Or even worse, he maybe the one who administers punishment, if things are out of control, by default.
     
    Nonetheless it is a trick to persuade some people to stop "sin"(do less harm) if they believe in it. Religion is Powerful in this sense.(Likewise, for non-religious there are laws and orders, morals, norms, peer pressures...etc)

    最近,没有时间(借口),没有心情咬文嚼字地写博。 其实我也从来没有这个耐性。 看到别人的博文, 觉得还是有必要记录一下历程~~ 不管如何当时的instant感悟is a unique interation b/t all the factors...u wouldnever have the chance to re-experience.
     
    上网潜水, 看到有篇文章讲起宝钗的"教育成长背景“。里面提到原文好像是冷自兴说宝钗她爸爸去世, 用的是“爷”。那个人大放阙辞, 说什么宝钗可能是薛姨妈跟她公公的女儿~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 这么另类的提法。 绝倒。这原来红楼里免除了秦可卿, 还有薛姨妈陪着爬灰。
     
    这人还有没有常识阿~~~ 别的不说, 就我这白丁都知道木兰辞里面,爸爸都是称的爷。 果然, lz后面被人猛拍砖, 都提到木兰辞。
    conclusion: 中学语文抓得不错

    开学了,再听sigma factor, RNA pol, 恍如隔世。 further make up my mind never to deal with the radioactive labled DNA, Ab, again.
     
    however, tomorrow i am doing PCR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY
     

    又要离开

    本来一直挺期待去北京小住的日子,阔别十年, 听得原本以3环为城郊分界的皇城已扩张至8环外~~期望能再驻足于故宫花园细赏鹅卵石砌的图案,矗长城之上眺望河山,再撑下几个十三陵外的巨型水蜜桃。。。北京留给我的记忆,是繁华凝重无忧无虑。历史对这座古城的洗礼,辉煌也罢, 残酷也罢,重生也罢,于我,不过徒增饭后谈资。
    突然发觉明天就是出发的日子。才惊觉回广州已经差不多两个月了。习惯了这里喧闹闷热的气息--久违了--如此亲切。很多人问:回来,还习惯吗? 习惯?!! 我生于斯,长于斯, 18年,没有离开连续超过十天,怎么不习惯?家,能不习惯吗??(小庆幸一下:偶正当青年,免疫系统正常运作,T/B/NK cells记忆良好, 见到广州所有的antigen/pathogen老朋友还熟悉, 不至于像某些归侨因“过敏”落泪流涕离开20年回家2天就“无法忍受”落荒而逃~~)
    也算是没有耐性喜新厌旧的一个人。住久了一处会觉得闷,喜欢旅游,探险,总之出去玩就对了。。这几次回家,也向往游玩带来的新鲜刺激增闻长识。 有机会,总迫不及待地马不停蹄辗转于路途中。 偶然静下来 , 却发现在家的宁静安逸更难能可贵。 离家太久,以为自己早已适应,或者根本就是designated for漂泊--也不然。在家的时候,旅游是点缀, 游学久了, 回家成了奢侈。
    不管如何,明天又要离开。 为任何缥缈的目标。或者堂皇的理由。不要慨叹人生有太多无奈,我们都明了孰轻孰重并已取舍。
    就算舍不得水浸街,也该去会一会沙尘暴了。

    I dont know either

     

    They will have their task cut out for them, judging by the results of the survey of 510 people interviewed in December and January.

    Among the findings:

    • One-third of respondents couldn’t pinpoint Louisiana on a map and 48 percent were unable to locate Mississippi.

    I am not ashame on this. Not an american.

    • Fewer than three in 10 think it important to know the locations of countries in the news and just 14 percent believe speaking another language is a necessary skill.

    Possibly.

    • Two-thirds didn’t know that the earthquake that killed 70,000 people in October 2005 occurred in Pakistan.

    Biased of the media here in NA!!!! how many news on the iraqi wars that killed 1 ppl/day vs. the news on this earthquake vs. kartrina????????????

    • Six in 10 could not find Iraq on a map of the Middle East.
    • While the outsourcing of jobs to India has been a major U.S. business story, 47 percent could not find the Indian subcontinent on a map of Asia.
    • While Israeli-Palestinian strife has been in the news for the entire lives of the respondents, 75 percent were unable to locate Israel on a map of the Middle East.

    !!!!!!!!!!!! I dont really know either.

    • Nearly three-quarters incorrectly named English as the most widely spoken native language.
    • Six in 10 did not know the border between North and South Korea is the most heavily fortified in the world. Thirty percent thought the most heavily fortified border was between the United States and Mexico.

    no commend. Again, the power of media

     

    《白鹿原》和《长恨歌》开头的叙述败笔

    《白鹿原》和《长恨歌》开头的叙述败笔
       
      陈忠实和王安忆是当代中国第一流的长篇小说家,两人的长篇小说代表作《白鹿原》和《长恨歌》均获中国官方的“茅盾文学奖”(性质与当年苏联的“斯大林文学奖”略无二致),其中王安忆以作品产量丰硕而令读者瞻目。
      论性别,陈忠实男,王安忆女。论年岁,陈忠实生于1945年,王安忆生于50年代初。论写作起步阶段的学历,陈忠实和王安忆都属于中学文凭,但是作为女作家茹志娟的女儿,她有着家庭氛围的较有利条件。论天资,两人的文学天资均非一流,其中王安忆略高一些,这体现为讲故事的才能好一些。
      “白嘉轩后来引以豪壮的是一生里娶过七房女人。”
      这句明显带有加西亚.马尔克斯《百年孤独》叙述痕迹的开头,就是陈忠实《白鹿原》的开头。不仅开头如此,事实上整部《白鹿原》处处留有这种摹仿的痕迹,这就不能不让人诟病了。中国小说一旦堕入拷贝外国知名作家的窠臼,就已落第二义,即便跻身于“经典小说”之行列,也难称伟大作品。
      “站一个至高点看上海,上海的弄堂是壮观的景象。它是这城市背景一样的东西。”
      以上这句从作家客观全知角度的鸟瞰式描述,是王安忆《长恨歌》的开头。其用意很明显:先呈现小说的背景,为主人公王琦瑶的出场搭好舞台,因为“王琦瑶是典型的上海弄堂的女儿。”其风花雪月、缠绵悱恻的绵长爱情故事是发生在上海弄堂里的。
      依悠哉看来,陈忠实和王安忆这两个小说开头实在属于艺术败笔,地地道道的艺术败笔。由此可见对于长篇小说这门艺术,两人并非驾轻就熟,更谈不上登堂入室。
      首先,我们讨论《长恨歌》的开头。
      王安忆曾坦言自己写上海不如张爱玲,从她的叙述文笔看,也的确带有崇拜和追攀张爱玲的影子。但是,王安忆的这部作品如果由张爱玲来执笔,是断然不会采取这种方式的。试看张爱玲的《半生缘》、《秧歌》和《赤地之恋》,都不采用这种开头方式;从她的若干谈文片段看,张爱玲是很讨厌这种写作方式的,例如擅长这种写作技法的雨果、列夫.托尔斯泰等长篇小说大师,张爱玲均不喜欢。试拿张爱玲《半生缘》的开头和王安忆的这个开头做比较:
      “他和曼桢认识,已经是多年前的事了。”
      显然,这里采用的是直接进入故事叙述的方式。值得注意的是,在这个匠心独运的开头里,张爱玲不采用“世钧和曼桢认识,已经是多年前的事了。”而采用“他和曼桢认识,已经是多年前的事了。”这二者的区别是很细微,却有很微妙的。它透露出的信息是:第一,张爱玲的叙述视角在沈世钧和顾曼桢之间来回摆动,而不是不偏不倚地保持冷漠的客观中立;第二,《半生缘》开头以世钧为视点人物,也就是说:它采用世钧事后对这件情事的怅然追忆为开头,给全书打下了一个感伤的叙述基调——典型的张爱玲的叙述调子。
      如上所述,王安忆是崇拜和追攀张爱玲的,这在《长恨歌》中也留下了擦抹不去的影子。例如《长恨歌》第二章开头写中学生王琦瑶陪女友吴佩珍去片厂玩儿,王琦瑶瞥见一个穿睡袍的女人躺在床上,当时“她陡地明白这女人扮的是一个死去的人,不知是自杀还是他杀。”这个女人给她留下了难忘的印象。小说结尾处,王琦瑶回顾自己的一生,蓦然悟到:“这床上的女人就是她自己,死于他杀。”这个首尾呼应艺术构思所传达的人生况味,个人以为是很“张爱玲化”的。
      现在需要讨论的是:既然王安忆崇拜和追攀张爱玲,而且从情节架构和结构类型看,《长恨歌》和《半生缘》也存在诸多相似之处(在很长的时间段里展开女主人公王琦瑶和顾曼桢的爱情故事),那么《长恨歌》的开头为何又极力避开张爱玲的影响,另觅新径呢?《长恨歌》的开头究竟学的谁呢?
      仔细阅读王安忆《小说家的十三堂课》,她在第五堂课讲述雨果的《巴黎圣母院》,是这样说的:
      “我想首先我要着重的说明一个章节,这就是为巴黎圣母院专门辟出的一个章节,它描述了巴黎圣母院,这是理解整个小说的一个重要的前提。”(P88)
      于是我们恍然大悟:《长恨歌》的开头,就是对《巴黎圣母院》这一章的改头换面的模仿!
      但是,王安忆在这里让人感觉艺术功力明显不足,甚至捉襟见肘。因为雨果是个思想家型的作家,他的作品有巴黎圣母院这座恢宏的、散发出神性光辉的建筑物做底蕴,而且雨果善于政论,思想犀利深邃,而这些并非王安忆所长。结果到头来:仿佛一个女人上身著西装,下身露出的却是半截旗袍,显得不伦不类,不尴不尬。
      《长恨歌》的开头置于全书中,就是这么一个东西:
      ——不伦不类,不尴不尬。
      其次,讨论陈忠实《白鹿原》的开头。
      《白鹿原》以陕西古老的白鹿原上白嘉轩和鹿子霖两家争斗为中心情节线,纠结了中国国共两党明争暗斗的逐鹿史。小说以白嘉轩娶了七房媳妇开篇,接着写他以诳骗手段购买了鹿子霖的慢坡地,进而发家致富。结尾是这样的:白嘉轩的儿子白孝文发迹当了县长,白家的对手鹿子霖则疯癫裸奔,白嘉轩柱着拐棍对鹿子霖说“我一辈子就做下一件见不得人的事,我来生再世给你还债补心。”不久鹿子霖凄惨地冻死了。
      悠哉认为《白鹿原》的开头属于艺术败笔,理由如下:
      第一,“白嘉轩后来引以豪壮的是一生里娶过七房女人。”和白鹿两家争斗的中心情节线游离,和结尾处鹿子霖疯癫、死亡也毫不搭界,艺术构思松散,容易让读者以为全书写的是白嘉轩的风流史——将白嘉轩和《金瓶梅》男主人公混为一谈。
      第二,从其效果看,将第二章直接作为开篇或稍加修改作为开篇,效果更好。
      第三,还有一个可选择的开头:介绍白鹿原的来历。因为《白鹿原》和《长恨歌》不同,后者格局原本很小(可谓“一个上海小女人的情感悲欢”),开篇上海弄堂并非上选;前者格局原本很宏大(可谓“以白鹿两家的矛盾为核心,完整地再现陕西一个古老村庄半个多世纪的变迁史”),这么写恰到好处地适宜

    Secret of Aging 长生不老术

    Note: Ethic --This article is not to offend people of any age, ethnical backgound.
     
    在这方面,中国人好像比较理智,光长生有个x用,不老才是正道。 眼盲耳聋,行动不便,口齿不清已经够背了,要是连神志都模糊了,那就不啻于行尸走肉, 只有量(寿)没有质,没多大意思。还不如潇潇洒洒,下辈子找点有意思的干去。不像那埃及人, 满脑子就是重生,死扒住那副肉身不放,妄想有一天灵魂归位。要是当初不是不得已, 那些灵魂怎么舍得放弃它们尊贵的肉身?一旦离开了,有得选择,也不会住回那副干枯或者已经腐烂发臭的地方。当然他们嫌弃别人的臭皮囊不是blue blood。看看铁拐李,不得已找了另外一位宿主,任凭你是神仙,肉体的缺陷还是不能修补。该瘸腿老态的还是瘸腿老态。
     
    就算是自己的躯壳完好无缺,灵魂还是原来那副。 回去了又怎么样呢?想知道, 回想一下当时弥留之际的状况:手脚能不能动弹?遗言有没有讲, 清晰的,完整的?那时候可是元神在原位的啊。你可以争辩说, 那时已经半离了。 好,那再之前呢?!
     
    所以大家自古心里就很清楚,长生是不实在的, 关键是留住现在。否则,长生术可以说80年前就出来了:电冰箱发明的时候。得了绝症? 不要紧, 先冻起来。 留得青山在,50, 100, 1000 年后总有法子的。
    怕不能复原?
    当时,---直到现在---都一直有在冰川下发现“生物”,保存完好, 甚至能完全(某些细菌)或者部分(某些哺乳动物, 身上的某些部分,里面的某些寄生菌)苏醒恢复活力?
    可惜到现在大于一个细胞的生物都还不能整体复原? 不要紧, 先冻起来。 留得青山在,50, 100, 1000 年后总有法子的。
    抛开夭折或是死于非命的不说,那些毕竟是少数。 哪些疾病,malfunction 不是在prime time 之后越来越多,越严重?经历了辉煌却不能挽留住昔日的神采飞扬,怎能不使迟暮的英雄们气短?一餐吃三碗饭也改变不了。 你说是social stigmatization, how? if the stereotypes are not over represented.
     
    可是如何才能青春常驻?人们搅尽脑汁, 各施各法, 各适其式,使出浑身解数
