  • An interesting sign board

    When I was leaving Dalian after the China Staff Forum, I noticed this sign board at the entrance of Dalian Airport:

    I was amused by the GO UNDER THE PASSENGER. What the Chinese words really mean is: Please leave immediately after the passenger(s) alights. Any vehicle should not wait too long at the departure hall.

    I really can\’t imagine why it has been translated into that funny phrase!

  • 我爱听相声——之不负责任评论

    最近这段时间一直忙着出差,一直没有时间整理我的照片、写博客。昨天从大连回来后在上海呆了一天,义正言辞地拒绝了pMq要求我去徐家汇代买单的无理要求,今天匆匆赶回苏州。把所有的照片:听相声的、新加坡的、大连的整理了一通,删的删,传的传。总算消停了,于是决定写点东西。

  • 羞耻!羞耻!!

    在完整的、认真的读完一本小说之前,就对小说进行评论是不对的,绝大多数情况下我不会这么做。即使是对那本我很不满意的《山海经》,我也是在看完全文后才加以评论,批评了这本书的编注的草率和马虎。单从这点,就可以证明我是一个很有耐心、脾气很好的人。

  • Out of country notice

    Notice

    I will be in Singapore from May 9th to 15th. I will be not available to BT because GPRS roaming is too expensive. But I will try to keep up with you guys.

    Cheerio!

  • Pink Floyd: Animal

    I bought this CD about 2 months ago: Animal from Pink Floyd.

    Pink Floyd has been my favortie band (not one of) ever since 20 years ago when I was in university and started to listen to its album The Wall. Then I started to collect its albums and now I have: The Wall, The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Final Cut, A Momentary Laps Of Reason, Animals. It is the single band that I have the most CDs collected.

  • 【一日一得】Ubuntu的版本代号(续)

    上次更新的时候,Ubuntu还只到9.04,转眼间就到了10.04了:

    • 9.10:Karmic Koala,幸运的考拉
    • 10.04:Lucid Lynx,清醒的猞猁
  • 【一日一得】冈仁波齐

    今天继续看由印度作家维卡斯·斯瓦鲁普写的另一本小说《六个嫌疑人》。其中看到这段译注还是挺有收获的:

    伽拉萨山(Mount Kailash):印度教圣山,主神湿婆夫妇居住之地。位于中国西藏,中国一般称之为冈仁波齐山。

  • 直指人心,见性成佛

    我必须用中文来写这篇文章——因为对于不是以英语为母语的我来说,写一篇读后感难度还是稍微大了一些。

    4月24号的时候,我和老彼得一起到上海去接我太太回国。她的航班是25号的,我和老彼得提前一天到,在上海的家里呆一天,也能顺便逛逛福州路。

    从地下车库泊好车上来后,对面就是上海书城。我和老彼得一起进去为他挑几本书。在二楼,我看到书城正在办一个活动:《贫民窟的百万富翁》(Slumdog Millionaire)作者现场签售活动。当时的队伍还是很长的,而一位典型的印度人正坐在台子前为每位购买了书的读者签字。

  • Got to write something

    It has been a long time since my last post. Not because there is nothing to write, but too much to write on.

    • My trip to Zhangjiajie (张家界) and Fenghuang (凤凰)
