小诗有点小意思…

嘿嘿，我不知怎地想起了居委会大妈们手持红袖章查卫生、罚随地吐痰的情景。 本来大家都是受过教育的人，这些管理制度是用不着的。相信不管大家在什么教育体制下，尊重他人、有礼有节都是共同的。对有些网友对他人恶言相伤、讽刺挖苦等变相“随地吐痰”的行为，大家采取避而不理也就罢了。正所谓“天下事了即未了，不如以不了了之。”再者，弗罗依德说“第一个扔侮辱性言辞而不是扔石块的人是人类文明的创始人。”那些网友虽不能再视为文明的创始人，但仍可视为“后现代”文明的继承发扬光大者，所以我们应给予相应的尊重及“创始人”等同的待遇。

这“牛人”确实很“牛”!!记得王佐良教授从前用诗经体试译过一些苏格兰诗（如 Robert Burns的作品），也不错。不过王是专业人士。这位“牛人”不知为何人…姑且称之为牛教授吧。谢谢玛女士转贴牛教授的作品。

我要是说我外公也是黄埔的，大家一定会说我又在开玩笑了。不过这是真的。我的家史似乎同这篇小文作者的家史也许多共同处－－以至于读到第二、三段时，我还以为我们是亲戚呢。这或许是因为当时的中国人的人生轨迹有太多相似处的缘故吧。

...那些巨大的人首牛身石像曾经守卫过古亚述宏伟神庙的大门。那些彩色镶嵌、曾经装饰了古巴比伦宫墙的斑斓猛虎依旧威风凛凛。这些神兽们保护过的神庙早已被淹没在五千年的时光之下。现代文明人带来的战火也早已烤焦了那块土地。尽管如此，就在此刻，我们仍在以传播文明的名义，用我们把人类送上月球时一样的热情，用满载了现代科学技术结晶的炸弹，轰炸着那片被称为人类文明摇篮的地方。 Excellent!! This surely is one of the greatest ironies of our time.

言论自由权及它的范围一直是一个很有意思的问题。个人或文化对某一问题上的敏感度与言论自由权之间的张力是发展言论自由权对话及明确这种权利界定的途径之一。本文作者似乎忽略了这一点。

That’s an interesting read. The story gave us a nice upshot about what the background of your work. (Congratulations on the very impressive accomplishment again!) A few years ago a law professor in China published a book on the traditional Chinese legal culture through the stories of Bao Gong. I'm curious whether your book contains any such facts through which people may have a glimpse into the imperial judicial system in ancient China.

So glad to have an alumnus in the Middle East!!

这是梵文预言吧？“鞞杀逝，鞞杀逝”是“隔壁－萨斯”的意思。伟大的印度人早在数千年前就预言了隔壁邻国会有“萨斯”病产生，了不起! 当然也有人从中得到灵感而作出了“敌杀死，敌杀死”的广告。

Thanks for the reply. Maybe it's just my personal bias or even ignorance. I somehow feel an analytical prove is always "superior" to, or at least more elegant than, a numerical solution. Discrete sets of solutions don't always tend to prove. Many times they merely show what solutions could or should be, given the initial conditions. But intuitively, one might expect to have a simpler approach to such a (perhaps deceptively) "simple" game. A 4x4 Su Doku might be a good place start for those tenured math

That's good one. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

No pictures this time?

《七年之痒》的现代版是《Lost in Translation》。后者在近半个世纪之后，再次探讨前者提出的问题：程式化的婚姻在生活中注入的枯索乏味及可能的应对方略。两者结果几乎的是一样：无解。

先看照片正准备说这个看上去象弟弟而不象姝姝，后来才看到这篇。原来他果然是男孩。有趣的打扮。

这幅也有意思。Norine的小画，同Ben Ben的小诗，是此间的两道小景，就象Norine最早两张画中（后来没再出现了）的这两个个的苹果一样。

顶老乡的作品一把。:)

嘿嘿，有意思。你父母赢得了对人类前途与未来都最为重要的一场比赛。

这首诗配上单弦用天津话唱来一定动情、好听！

这小画很 cute!

这话另有别解，其实并不“太白”。它的真正意思是：不管什么年龄的人去了“天涯”（包括MAYACAFE）这类网站，都忘了自己的年纪及时间的流逝。它反映了我们所生活在的这个互联网时代的特殊生活。:)

据说政府试图在北京弄人工降雨来克服沙尘，不知他们除了科学家外，请了筮师神汉没有。

Hilarious! This story certainly speaks volumes about the reality anywhere in the world nowadays: to survive or thrive, one has to speak English. But the ubiquity of the English language is a result of America's acquisition of a universal state. And that, if Arnold Toynbee was right, is a sign of the decline and eventual demise of that state. While Chinese panhandlers are learning to speak the universal language, American elites and commoners alike are learning Chinese. More and more high schools are

While many of the basic justifications for marriage (e.g. sex, love, companionship, procreation, separation of labors, raising children, etc.) may no longer exist or may not be present in all marriages, and the state may no longer be a party (as it used to be) to the contract forged by the two consenting marital parties, and while established traditions and customs may be conveniently set aside as they have been, as long as we moral human beings still long for permanency (stability, predictability, or a sen

放心吧，我的自娱是白天公开照远别人、而不是晚上悄悄近照自己的那种。:)

"This problem with illegal immigration is nothing new. In fact, the Indians had a special name for it. They called it 'white people.'" --Jay Leno "This is what I don't get about this. They've got oil. Their citizens love the United States. Forget Iraq, we should have invaded Mexico." --Jay Leno "You know these people coming across the border willing to work hard? I say make them senators. They couldn't do any worse of a job than these guys are doing." --Jay Leno "The good news is that Congress is

With very few exceptions, capital punishment is abolished, either in practice or constitutionally in its entirety, in almost all European countries.

这段好象有点眼熟，怎么看怎么象惠特曼…

Congratulations on the new book! That's a very impressive accomplishment!

呵呵，确实有意思。不过这在美国其实也有，在少数裔多之处不太罕见。有年在佛罗里达迈阿密（那里古巴及西班牙裔人极多），眼见一辆小van象大变活人的魔术箱般，从里面一个接一个地跳出近十几个“古巴人”来，直把周围的人都看呆了。人的可压缩性及折叠性其实还是很大的，只是在常可见一个人开一辆大面包车的美国，这类属性因不常用而退化罢了。

Fascinating! I absolutely love his touching and inspiring stories!! Thanks for sharing these with us.
