XueZhongWen.com
昨夜的大雨让人睡不着觉，干脆起来干点活儿，几乎忙了一个通宵，凌晨5点多，好不容易把所有的themes调好了，又不想睡了，想写点儿什么，可脑子又不转了。

Bush and Kerry
我对Bush的中文翻译的见解已经写过了。中国翻成“布什”，字面上好像是“Distributing Some Stuff”（分布些什么，或散布劳什子），我想还算贴切，至于到底分布些什么？分布给谁？不同的人，不同的国家有不同的答案。你要是问Bill Gates，一定列举他的减税计划，让他少缴了一亿八千万美元税款。你要是问日本，恐怕得列举那个TMD计划了。你要是问伊拉克人民，算了，还是别去那了，不太安全。
台湾翻成“布希”，好像是“Distributing Hope”（希望），又好像是“Distributing Peculiar things”（希奇），也有道理，象……嗨，太多了，还是列个网站自己看吧。
我还是觉得“不实”或者“不适”翻的最好。
但是Kerry呢？哈哈，我的翻译是：“可以” （ke2 yi3），除了“行”以外，还有“够可以的”里的“可以”，哈哈。

没有理解了？
我的几篇《对生活的理解》写出来后，朋友们都挺鼓励的，还有朋友想看我现在是怎么理解的。这是我第一次用诗的形式表达自己，一下写了这么多，多少有点沾沾自喜。
可忽然发现，今天的情绪象断了线儿似的，怎么也聚不起来，看来艺术和科学的差别真的还是很大的，没米的时候，巧妇也没办法，何况是我这个远不够巧的‘新妇’呢，:)) 嗨，还是回去种“数据库”地去吧！

我对生活的理解（21）
21岁的那年
生活是庄严的天安门
纪念碑下几百面大旗日日夜夜
长安街上数百万人给俺庆生
还有那张忘不了的笑脸
第一次教育咱啥叫“爱情”，啥叫“缘分”

要告别了，北京
生活是那背影
鬓角花白的老爸
姐姐、姐夫抱着一个月的同同
去机场的路是那么地短呦
心里默默地对妈妈说“放心吧，我行”

我对生活的理解 （20）
大三的时候
生活是一本《易经》
乾坎亘震巽离坤兑
否极泰来、乐天知命
出国好，考研究生也好
你未来的女朋友也许不是个省油的灯

我对生活的理解（8）
8岁的时候
生活是楼后的土坑
冬天，郑叔叔在里面存白菜
夏天，王阿姨怨它带来蚊子嗡嗡
我和大头蹲在里面叠着“子弹”
我们的“队伍”人人有双发的弹弓

Wireless on Linux
For some reason, after woke up this morning at around 5am, couldn't go back to sleep, so went to my office, continued working on my research on how to install wireless adaptor on my Linux machine, I used the netgear MA101, and searched a lot of places on Google, but it seems like it still doesn't recognize the driver, or maybe I haven't installed the correct driver yet, hmm, what's that sit0 thing?
but I think I am getting closer, hope I can solve it soon ......

BUT, BUTT, BJUT
Our university's name "Beijing Polytechnic University" used to be
shortformed as BPU, or using pinyin BGD. That's why when I first
started our overseas alumni, I named BPUer, there is still a bpuer.com
there as official BPU alumni site.
However, sometime ago, who knows who in BPU thought the name BPU or
"Beijing Polytechnic University" isn't that appealing, and wanted to
change its name to something like "Beijing University of Technology".
Good! except its shortform is now, BUT! The minute I heard it, I
laughed badly, you can tell this guy didn't pay enough attention, or
didn't know what the word 'butt' mean.
Latest news says, they are thinking of using "BJUT", or "BUOT", I
don't know, maybe BJUT sounds better?

Lookout
Found a nice Outlook indexer, called 'Lookout", it allows you to
search your outlook emails quicker, more or less like what google is doing for gmail, unfortunately (or fortunately) it's been bought by Microsoft already, so you will see you are actually downloading from MSFT.
There goes again.

Day off
No wonder why XY didn't call me, nor showed up on Y! messenger the
whole day yesterday, she was sick, :-(
This morning, she didn't show any sign of recovering, so I called to
take a day off, even though I still worked most of the afternoon.
Well, it could be a nice day off, I did shopping, something I didn't
do often; I cooked, something I haven't done often;
XY was having some trouble working on her project now, so I had to
help her, on the web stuff, hmm, till 1:05AM......

壮壮和卓伊的娃娃亲
壮壮(右)和卓伊(左)来自我们邻居的两家，相差两三个月。自从邻居们开始发起"toddler"活动，双方的家长就发现两个小朋友的关系非常好，据说壮 壮每天10点钟(toddler开始的时间)以前都很着急地要见妹妹。在家不听话，不爱吃东西的时候，父母也使用“妹妹都爱吃这个”来教育，而且据说很管 用！昨天我们一起庆中秋时，我拍到了这样一张，果然像一对好对象！我和他们的家长们开玩笑说，20年后要来对证！
Neighbors gathering
Yesterday, about 30+ of our neighbors gathered in Country Club Vista park in a potluck format, other than mooncakes, we had many dishes from all the neighbors, some of them were very professionally done, that it's hard to tell them from restaurant dishes.

What's the point?
Saw the news Forces Kill 125 Insurgents in Samarra, thought it's the largest number of Iraqi (people? insurgents? do we care?) killed in a single day as recent as I can remember, I understand that "Number of Americans killed in combat" has always been a big deal, such as CNN.com - US death toll in Iraq passes 1,000 - Sep 8, 2004, it's even as big as debateable in Presidential race.
Yes, I truely felt, and understood that "American lives are precious" (美国人命值钱), but what about other countries? What about Chinese, Russian, Indian? What about Iraqi?
I don't really understand that much politics, so I can't understand the purpose/justice of invading Iraq, and I have long ago lost my trust of US media on these political issues, I just read them as they come, then think, check other sources, then think again.
American lives are precious, and we have lost over 1000 of them, what about Iraqis? How many Iraqi have lost their lifes due to this war (invasion in my mind)?
So after a little study on the net, I found that there are actually people tracking it (yeah, why not), according to http://www.iraqbodycount.net/, there are between 13,000 to 15,000 Iraqi people died from the war, in another word, for each American died in the war, there will be about 13-15 Iraqi people died.
We all easily know that's greatly contributed to the advanced military technology, like by in large everything else are determined in this country, that could partially explain why this country thinks the way it thinks, and why this country did what it did, to a lot of degrees, isn't that why we immigrants came to this country?
However, this perpetual push to technology advancement sometimes loses its own balance, sometimes even its original purpose! We do things because it uses advanced technology, because it develops new ways to 'enable' people to do things differently.
For example, people talk to people, family talk to family, when people have telephone, don't we actually 'see' each other less? now we even have cell-phone, you have all the reason NOT to see your friends and family.
Back to the casualty issue, it really reminds of a past blockbuster movie Speed (1994) , to save about 10 people, the fighted with the bomber (terrist?), that's good, then during the whole course, it crashed so many cars, who knows how many people were killed in those cars, finally crashed into an over $100M airplane (how many people in there?), and still claim a victory? I don't get it then, but I think I sort of get a little now, that's really a typical thinking in the US, They set a goal, and stick to it, man, they really STICK to it. Isn't that a perfect example this President and government are setting for all people in the US and the whole world?
