没读过江帕-拉西丽(Jhumpa Lahiri)的书，刚在图书馆查了“The Namesake”，我们当地村的图书馆６本都不是被借了就是有人等着了。整个郡图书馆系统这本书共有１１０本。这在于小说来讲是很多的。 注：纽约洲最小行政单位大多是村(village),也有叫区(borough)和市(city)的。

彼此彼此。要有新近歙县相片请分享。:-)

知恩图报，都是好孩子啊。

这条线这句话我读得最懂:-)　先谢谢梦冉有心。妳说的对，需要解释的话，再解释也不定我就因此懂了。一人很通悟，但另一人不懂的，常常不是懂不了，而是时候不到、地点不对、或相互前后文（context）不一致。犹如妳通过“秦”歌剧而对张导演发表的议论和许多他人的讨论一样，陈诉、解释、申辩，又陈诉、又解释、又申辩。每人的思路观点像一个个彗星在天穹划出的一条条光道，能够比邻，便是可喜；相互交辉，就是幸运；退一步看，其实大伙共处于此天际、此光阴，已是慧缘。 跑题了，还见谅。 后生可畏，不当小看。

谁先来定义一下什么是“华夏传统文化”和“美国主流文化”？

It is a gift that you are able to find something you enjoy in those extra long commute hours. A realtor friend of mine used to work as a fulltime flight attendant, at the same time, worked as a real estate agent, not only that she also mothered 6 children (ages from 6 to 20), and homeschooled the younger ones. For the past 7 years I have known her, she did not seem to age a bit, amazingly. Just a little story to add some fuel here, inspired by your self-rising high spirit.

谢xw。藏族画家的那些画很有特色。 原标题是讲西藏的绘画，而不是西藏题材的绘画。不过既然说起，也顶一顶。油画家艾轩画了许多西藏题材（人物）的画：http://www.xhwcn.com/shmj/makeIndex.aspx?flowNo=398

Not that I like this type, but this goatee-like is also called (wispy) mandarin beard. Qi Baishi: World Leaders - who have/have not beard? http://www.mediabum.com/html/Young-And-Old-World-Leaders.html More on beard: + 鲶鱼（Catfish）是唯一天生有奇数条腮须的动物。Catfish are the only animals that naturally have an ODD number of whiskers. + Beards are the fastest growing hairs on the human body. If the average man never trimmed his beard, it would grow to nearly 30 feet long in his lifeti

Hats off for 梦冉，有没有这个流动医疗车慈善基金的具体情况？ 今年三月在美国是National Women's History Month。The National Women's History Project (NWHP　http://www.nwhp.org/) 是８０年成立的一个教育性非盈利组织，其宗旨是提供教育资料和活动，帮助妇女了解和认识妇女各方面的历史成就。美国还有许许多多这样的妇女组织，华尔街的Woman's Bond Club是一个例子,这个网页列有许多妇女组织：http://www.womensbiz.us/mediakit/。

估计不插电是英文Unplugged来的，只是不知变成“不插电”后有没有延伸出别的意思。

祝贺青冈！ 巧了，有个朋友叫穆清，很多年没联络了。

Depends on what job (from what industry and what area in that industry, etc.) you try to get, the answer should be different. No? We had lot of fun testing candidates for this kinds of questions before.

杨紫烨的致词只是一句对爱滋孩童们的祝愿，而且只用中文（普通话）讲的，印象也很深。可惜奥斯卡网站没有将她这句话登出来。 http://oscar.com/oscarnight/winners/?pn=detail&nominee=TheBloodOfYingzhouDistrictDocumentaryShortSubjectNominee 　 ＂杨紫＂辈的似乎在好莱坞还吃得开嘛。

昨晚看79届奥斯奖印象最深的一句话：We may always agree, but we always care．

这篇海龟感想听上去怎么这么别扭，似乎想两边讨好，又想两边打嘴吧，看来是有一点reversed culture shock的症状。:-) 归不归，海不海；是为别人打工，不为别人打工；不归不见得等于为别人打工，归了不一定就非不为别人打工。没有什么对与错，也不是重要的标准。在内在外的都有良莠，都有草根和精英（whatever that means）。　个人在大潮大流的影响下决定　自己要怎么活的选择，首先是要过了自己这一关。

难怪不知道什么是腌笃鲜？不知哇大汉是满汉是汉汉？（这汉字怎么是三点水的呢?)

内容好，只是文章让这么多人（假装）看不懂，就不大好了。不知这篇讲话原来是用英文还是中文的？ 同意，这篇文章不能用文学（人）的眼镜去看，要看出东锤西棒间的要领来。 关於为什么的问题，我觉得作者答了三点： １．　个人自由。 ２．　制衡的政治系统和盛行的群众行动主义。 ３．　丰富的天然资源 其它还讲了许多作者认为辅佐其要点的次（要）点/事实： ＋　美国有数不胜数的非政府组织，美国人恐怕是全世界最喜欢参加非政府组织的了，宗教尤其起着非常突出的作用。 ＋　制度化的政府结构和多元化的权力分配，美国的

我怎么听说是灵魂重2.25 ounce ？

Loving with all your ... brain POSTED: 9:22 p.m. EST, February 14, 2007 http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/02/14/love.science/index.html By Elizabeth Cohen CNN Medical Correspondent Adjust font size: (CNN) -- Close your eyes for a minute and envision all the romantic parts of the human body. (The brain of someone in love, looking at a photograph of significant other, shows activity in the ventral tegmental area.) Her beautiful eyes. His strong shoulders.

anti-Valentine and (pro-)Valentine (or anti-anything and anything) are just two sides of the same coin.

老和尚怎么说来者？人在美国，图银拜金，顺情顺流，不用于自己过不去；要引退江海，轻心寡欲，心性甚高可敬，但也不必执著； 住了大房没有人养，有花园没有空养，家居敝庐没有钱银进，男人回了家，女人上班忙，都不必伤劳心神，执著于认为不合适或不现实。

是呀，是呀，或是某种inspiration。佛自在心，魔自在心，我思便我在嘛。海外中餐馆给的饭后fortune cookie据说在每句后面加上in bed,读起来也如“惠儿”般，无论平仄、韵律、视角、意境，都很合适。

我也有这个问题，汉学是研究中国文化里汉文化的？还是如老方说的是对老外而言的中国文化？我们穿旗袍对老外而言是发扬中国文化，对国人而言又是发扬满文化。

不要紧，以不动对万动。是因是果还难说呢。
