Deutschland: Bitte warten Sie hier

布鲁塞尔- 伦敦- 巴黎- 华盛顿 - 纽约- 费城- 巴尔蒂摩- 华盛顿- 巴黎- 布鲁塞尔

 

一番折腾之后，我终于感冒了。 走之前wei了预防感冒，我打了感冒预防针， 没想到预防针真的超级有效， 打上没多久我就感冒了。

 

在伦敦帮我侄女把所有的事情都处理好了。一帮小女孩，辛苦de在伦敦打拼，境遇比我当初都惨，而且苦尽甘来的日子似乎还很远。

 

两年之后再见到保罗师傅， 他还是那个样子，只不过它的办公室比我离开时更加乱了。我们紧紧地拥抱，他说想我了。 在我们谈话的一个多小时之间，他一如既往的幽默，逗我的笑声不断。 他也高兴的对我说，你离开英国时带走的英国式的幽默并没有遗失。

 

我以前的同学告诉我，美国没有火车，去哪里都要开车。 天真的我信了。其实根本不是这样，美国的火车Amtrak准时开车，也不出轨！还有电源可以用笔记本电脑。

 

在华盛顿的街头巷尾，到处都是卖奥巴马体恤衫的摊子，林肯纪念馆前也摆着给奥巴马的公开信；师傅告诉我，当奥巴马当选时，师母都掉泪了。看来全世界人们都苦苦盼着美国改变。 奥巴马，你是全世界人民的大救星么？让我也随波逐流，愿上帝保佑奥巴马让我多快好省地富起来!

 

纽约还是一如既往的繁华; 第五大道还是一如既往的熙熙攘攘; 百老汇还是一如既往的夜夜笙歌； 没有政治，只是繁华。 唯一的区别就是，华尔街垮了！hahah

 

在巴黎的Gare du Nord, 一切都不再像以前了。

晚上10点钟，办公室的厨房里， 我打开冰箱，看到有牛奶，蜂蜜，橙汁，苹果汁， 原味可乐，减肥可乐，带气泡的矿泉水和不带气泡的矿泉水， 桌子上还有速溶汤包。。。不远处，Lavazza咖啡机还遗留着诱人的Arabica的香味。可是我想说：

我好累啊！我要喝红牛！

---------------------------------开始回忆-----------------------

第一次喝红牛是1999年高考前，像所有的父母一样，只要听说对孩子复习备考有帮助不管能不能毒死人就舍得花钱去买，于是我爸和我妈扛了一箱回来。 我喝了。结果考得不好。我不但对不起我妈，也对不起红牛.

后来到了英国，电视广告一天到晚的播·Redbull gives you wings! 广告通常是这样的， 或者是这样的。· 听啊听啊听得我头都大了，一连几年都没有再碰。

今年回国时，有一天突然想喝红牛了，去超市买了一罐。 打那以后就像毒品一样的，在疲惫的时候一罐一罐的就喝了起来。

 

后来知道， redbull gives you not only wings, but also heart problems! 它含有的牛黄酸（taurine）是很厉害的。老爷爷喝了不会变年轻，直接进急救室了。现在挪威，丹麦和乌拉圭是禁止喝红牛的。

 

------------------------------回到冰箱前------------------------

 

如果没有红牛，有一瓶啤酒也行啊。

 

决定去报两个语言班，一个法语，一个德语。

我现在需要的就是good good study, day day up...

共勉

很自豪的关注了神舟7号的发射，这次使用的是长江2号（Long March 2F）。

我很怀疑美国联邦调查局在昨天（24日）以泄漏航天发射机密数据为由逮捕华裔科学家Shu Quan-Sheng是何居心？

 

今日的自豪是付出了巨大代价的。除了巨额资金支持，1995 年和1996年连续两次重大事故造成人员的伤亡： 长征2号（Long March 2E ）出事6人死亡，而长征3号（Long March 3B ）则有数百人， 成为人类航天史最悲惨的事故。 过去的失误在成功面前似乎都不重要了，但是希望科学家再仔细一点，不要再出事故了。

 

 

美国人1969年到底上没上月球？ 这个问题似乎要等中国人来解答了。

上班时间没有好好工作，写了点东西勉励自己。

 

Any fool can try to defend his mistakes--and most fools do--but it gives one a feeling of nobility to admit one's mistakes. By fighting, you never get enough, but by yielding, you get more than you expected.

 

--Lawrence G. Lovasik (The Hidden Power of Kindness)

 

「知错能改，善莫大焉」是句充满中国智慧及包容的话语， 而英国诗人Alexander Pope所说的“to err is human; to forgive is divine”则包含更多人性的理解。

 

尽管这样，认错还是需要勇气的，错误越大，需要的勇气越多；认错更是需要胸襟的，细微的过错也是需要宽阔的胸襟去面对的。人非圣贤，孰能无过呢。错了就错了吧，认识到错误才能正面的面对问题，才能很好地解决问题，才能减少再犯同样错误的可能。但认错的胸襟不是每个人都有的，理性的想法也不会每时每刻都出现。更多的还是执迷不悟的偏执和黑白颠倒的辩白。

 

永远都不能看到自己错误的人会越抹越黑；能清楚地看到自己的错误但是却怎样也不能承认的人会越抹越黑； 永远都受不了委屈的人会越抹越黑。

 

王尔德说经验是我们给我们所犯的错误的命名。不过我还是喜欢《芝麻街》里面唱的：你犯了错误还是我的朋友， 我还一样的喜欢你。

 

I've a special secret children ought to know;

It's about the little mistakes you make as you begin to grow.

If you make a mistake, you shouldn't start to cry.

Mistakes are not so bad, and here is why:

 

Oh everyone makes mistakes.

Oh, yes they do

Your sister and your brother and your dad and mother too;

Big people, small people, matter of fact, all people!

Everyone makes mistakes, so why can't you?

 

If you make a mistake while counting to ten,

Well don't get mad and don't be sad;

Just start to count again.

And if you should only get to eight or nine,

I'm still your friend and I still like you fine,

 

'Cause everyone makes mistakes.

Oh, yes they do

Your sister and your brother and your dad and mother too;

Big people, small people, matter of fact, all people!

Everyone makes mistakes, so why can't you?

 

If you spill a glass of milk all over the floor,

Well, your mom and dad still like you just as much as they did before,

'Cause when Mother and Dad were just as small as you,

I'll bet that they knocked their milk over too.

 

'Cause everyone makes mistakes.

Oh, yes they do

Your sister and your brother and your dad and mother too;

Big people, small people, matter of fact, all people!

Everyone makes mistakes, so why can't you?

 

If everyone in the whole wide world makes mistakes,

Then why can't you?

有些事有些话有些感觉只能记在心里，记在心里的再说出来就不那么珍贵了，所以记在心里不要说。

08年的6月一号是个值得纪念的日子。 这一天，我结束了在巴黎和布鲁塞尔两地的奔波，正式地全面地彻底地在布鲁塞尔独立执业，并且纳税。 全部的税额高达70%多 （其中个人所得税50%, 加上增值税21%），欲哭无泪。

时间真是过的嗖嗖的。再有一个月我就毕业了， 而且我也不能再呆在27岁了， 下个月低我就以迅雷不及掩耳之势进入老男人的行列了。

回头看一下这一年，可真够忙活的， 除了上课，从去年6月到现在一共工作了2028个小时，在布鲁塞尔和巴黎两地奔波。

今天老师给我评价了一下上学期的两篇论文，都给了我A, 我其实也不知道我写了什么， 我还以为所有的人都得了A呢。结果遭遇很高的评价，并且问我下一年可否给下一届的学生带一个研讨课。 鉴于我多次翘课，我都不好意思了。

不管怎么样，我还是要显摆一下，给意志消沉的自己打打气。

最近啤酒喝了不少，一渴就拿啤酒解渴。

脾气也不好，做集体作业时和伊朗女人还有英国妹谈蹦了好几次。

头发很长了也没有时间去理，好像戴了一顶纯毛的黑帽子。

 

有点良知的人，在听了西方媒体的连篇累牍的报道和宣传后，会问自己，中国对西藏的统治到底是不是合法的。

我也问我自己。

不过，那些伪善的西方人，不要来和我讲道理。

我告诉你160多年前中国人讲道理的下场。

1839年，林则徐给英国的维多利亚女王写了一封信，照会。

信是非常坦率的， 他是这么写的：

 

A communication: magnificently our great Emperor soothes and pacifies China and the foreign countries, regarding all with the same kindness. If there is profit, then he shares it with the peoples of the world; if there is harm, then he removes it on behalf of the world. This is because he takes the mind of heaven and earth as his mind.

The kings of your honorable country by a tradition handed down from generation to generation have always been noted for their politeness and submissiveness. We have read your successive tributary memorials saying, "In general our countrymen who go to trade in China have always received His Majesty the Emperor's gracious treatment and equal justice." and so on. Privately we are delighted with the way in which the honorable rulers of your country deeply understand the grand principles and are grateful for the Celestial grace. For this reason the Celestial Court in soothing those from afar has redoubled its polite and kind treatment. The profit from trade has been enjoyed by them continuously for two hundred years. This is the source from which your country has become known for its wealth.

But after a long period of commercial intercourse, there appear among the crowd of barbarians both good persons and bad, unevenly. Consequently there are those who smuggle opium to seduce the Chinese people and so cause the spread of the poison to all provinces. Such persons who only care to profit themselves, and disregard their harm to others, are not tolerated by the laws of heaven and are unanimously hated by human beings. His Majesty the Emperor, upon hearing of this, is in a towering rage. He has especially sent me, his commissioner, to come to Kwangtung, and together with the governor-general and governor jointly to investigate and settle this matter.

All those people in China who sell opium or smoke opium should receive the death penalty. We trace the crime of those barbarians who through the years have been selling opium, then the deep harm they have wrought and the great profit they have usurped should fundamentally justify their execution according to law. We take into to consideration, however, the fact that the various barbarians have still known how to repent their crimes and return to their allegiance to us by taking the 20,183 chests of opium from their storeships and petitioning us, through their consular officer [superintendent of trade], Elliot, to receive it. It has been entirely destroyed and this has been faithfully reported to the Throne in several memorials by this commissioner and his colleagues.

Fortunately we have received a specially extended favor Born His Majesty the Emperor, who considers that for those who voluntarily surrender there are still some circumstances to palliate their crime, and so for the time being he has magnanimously excused them from punishment. But as for those who again violate the opium prohibition, it is difficult for the law to pardon them repeatedly. Having established new regulations, we presume that the ruler of your honorable country, who takes delight in our culture and whose disposition is inclined towards us, must be able to instruct the various barbarians to observe the law with care. It is only necessary to explain to them the advantages and advantages and then they will know that the legal code of the Celestial Court must be absolutely obeyed with awe.

We find your country is sixty or seventy thousand li [three li make one mile, ordinarily] from China Yet there are barbarian ships that strive to come here for trade for the purpose of making a great profit. The wealth of China is used to profit the barbarians. That is to say, the great profit made by barbarians is all taken from the rightful share of China. By what right do they then in return use the poisonous drug to injure the Chinese people? Even though the barbarians may not necessarily intend to do us harm, yet in coveting profit to an extreme, they have no regard for injuring others. Let us ask, where is your conscience? I have heard that the smoking of opium is very strictly forbidden by your country; that is because the harm caused by opium is clearly understood. Since it is not permitted to do harm to your own country, then even less should you let it be passed on to the harm of other countries -- how much less to China! Of all that China exports to foreign countries, there is not a single thing which is not beneficial to people: they are of benefit when eaten, or of benefit when used, or of benefit when resold: all are beneficial. Is there a single article from China which has done any harm to foreign countries? Take tea and rhubarb, for example; the foreign countries cannot get along for a single day without them. If China cuts off these benefits with no sympathy for those who are to suffer, then what can the barbarians rely upon to keep themselves alive? Moreover the woolens, camlets, and longells [i.e., textiles] of foreign countries cannot be woven unless they obtain Chinese silk. If China, again, cuts off this beneficial export, what profit can the barbarians expect to make? As for other foodstuffs, beginning with candy, ginger, cinnamon, and so forth, and articles for use, beginning with silk, satin, chinaware, and so on, all the things that must be had by foreign countries are innumerable. On the other hand, articles coming from the outside to China can only be used as toys. We can take them or get along without them. Since they are not needed by China, what difficulty would there be if we closed our the frontier and stopped the trade? Nevertheless, our Celestial Court lets tea, silk, and other goods be shipped without limit and circulated everywhere without begrudging it in the slightest. This is for no other reason but to share the benefit with the people of the whole world. The goods from China carried away by your country not only supply your own consumption and use, but also can be divided up and sold to other countries, producing a triple profit. Even if you do not sell opium, you still have this threefold profit. How can you bear to go further, selling products injurious to others in order to fulfill your insatiable desire?

Suppose there were people from another country who carried opium for sale to England and seduced your people into buying and smoking it; certainly your honorable ruler would deeply hate it and be bitterly aroused. We have heard heretofore that your honorable ruler is kind and benevolent. Naturally you would not wish to give unto others what you yourself do not want. We have also heard that the ships coming to Canton have all had regulations promulgated and given to them in which it is stated that it is not permitted to carry contraband goods. This indicates that the administrative orders of your honorable rule have been originally strict and clear. Only because the trading ships are numerous, heretofore perhaps they have not been examined with care. Now after this communication has been dispatched and you have clearly understood the strictness of the prohibitory laws of the Celestial Court, certainly you will not let your subjects dare again to violate the law.

We have further learned that in London, the capital of your honorable rule, and in Scotland, Ireland, and other places, originally no opium has been produced. Only in several places of India under your control such as Bengal, Madras, Bombay, Patna, Benares, and Malwa has opium been planted from hill to hill, and ponds have been opened for its manufacture. For months and years work is continued in order to accumulate the poison. The obnoxious odor ascends, irritating heaven and frightening the spirits. Indeed you, O King, can eradicate the opium plant in these places, hoe over the fields entirely, and sow in its stead the five grains [millet, barley, wheat, etc.]. Anyone who dares again attempt to plant and manufacture opium should be severely punished. This will really be a great, benevolent government policy that will increase the common weal and get rid of evil. For this, Heaven must support you and the spirits must bring you good fortune, prolonging your old age and extending your descendants. All will depend on this act.

As for the barbarian merchants who come to China, their food and drink and habitation, all received by the gracious favor of our Celestial Court. Their accumulated wealth is all benefit given with pleasure by our Celestial Court. They spend rather few days in their own country but more time in Canton. To digest clearly the legal penalties as an aid to instruction has been a valid principle in all ages. Suppose a man of another country comes to England to trade, he still has to obey the English laws; how much more should he obey in China the laws of the Celestial Dynasty?

Now we have set up regulations governing the Chinese people. He who sells opium shall receive the death penalty and he who smokes it also the death penalty. Now consider this: if the barbarians do not bring opium, then how can the Chinese people resell it, and how can they smoke it? The fact is that the wicked barbarians beguile the Chinese people into a death trap. How then can we grant life only to these barbarians? He who takes the life of even one person still has to atone for it with his own life; yet is the harm done by opium limited to the taking of one life only? Therefore in the new regulations, in regard to those barbarians who bring opium to China, the penalty is fixed at decapitation or strangulation. This is what is called getting rid a harmful thing on behalf of mankind.

Moreover we have found that in the middle of the second month of this year [April 9] Consul [Superintendent] Elliot of your nation, because the opium prohibition law was very stern and severe, petitioned for an extension of the time limit. He requested an extension of five months for India and its adjacent harbours and related territories, and ten months for England proper, after which they would act in conformity with the new regulations. Now we, the commissioner and others, have memorialized and have received the extraordinary Celestial grace of His Majesty the Emperor, who has redoubled his consideration and compassion. All those who from the period of the coming one year (from England) or six months (from India) bring opium to China by mistake, but who voluntarily confess and completely surrender their opium, shall be exempt from their punishment. After this limit of time, if there are still those who bring opium to China then they will plainly have committed a willful violation and shall at once be executed according to law, with absolutely no clemency or pardon. This may be called the height of kindness and the perfection of justice.

Our Celestial Dynasty rules over and supervises the myriad states, and surely possesses unfathomable spiritual dignity. Yet the Emperor cannot bear to execute people without having first tried to reform them by instruction. Therefore he especially promulgates these fixed regulations. The barbarian merchants of your country, if they wish to do business for a prolonged period, are required to obey our statues respectfully and to cut off permanently the source of opium. They must by no means try to test the effectiveness of the law with their lives. May you, O King, check your wicked and sift your wicked people before they come to China, in order to guarantee the peace of your nation, to show further the sincerity of your politeness and submissiveness, and to let the two countries enjoy together the blessings of peace How fortunate, how fortunate indeed! After receiving this dispatch will you immediately give us a prompt reply regarding the details and circumstances of your cutting off the opium traffic be sure not to put this off. The above is what has to be communicated.

有没有道理？ 除了用词傲慢了一点，句句是真理。 而英国人怎么做的，在摸清了清军并没有海军的情况下，内阁未经议会之批准就发动了鸦片战争，从此开始了中国100年的屈辱史。

 

我为什么说西方人士伪善的？用李敖的话说， 我不但说你们伪善，我还要用证据证明你们是伪善的。

 

清朝时，民国时，没有一个西方政府承认西藏是独立的。 为什么到了今天， 几乎全部的西方国家都在西藏问题上阳奉阴违？

 

美国，加拿大，澳大利亚，新西兰: 你们去到新的大陆，占领原住民的土地，屠杀欺压原住民，是不是人权问题？

 

1980年英美等国因为苏联入侵阿富汗而抵制了莫斯科奥运会，道貌岸然。 20多年以后，英美联军也入侵了阿富汗， 不过如此。

 

美军在伊拉克的虐囚事件， 是不是人权问题？ 

 

西方人谴责中国出卖武器给苏丹，但是几乎所有的西方国家都是一样。东帝汶事件时，是英国卖给印尼的战斗机。美国呢，则在六七十年代尼日利亚的内战中既帮政府军又帮叛军，左右逢源。

 

西方人谴责中国的不干涉主义，不干涉主义其实最早是他们自己用来避免他们之间利益冲突的价值观念。

 

西方人还说，你们这帮中国人污染我们的环境，你们烧煤！西方人还说，你们这帮中国人用了世界的资源和能源啦！他们完全忽略了我们的计划生育政策对全世界的资源上的贡献，中国少生了3-4亿人，是整个西欧的人口的总和。 如果中国人都像美国人那么消费的话，地球就没有资源可以使用，人类真要登月了。 没有人感激中国人做出的牺牲。

 

中国搞了西方人无法比拟的三峡工程，32 台发电机组可以提供2250 万千瓦的电，大大降低了中国对火力发电的依赖。外国人没说中国在减少烧煤上的贡献，反而关注与工程中的负面事件，什么造成了生态环境的破坏，淹没了129个城镇啊等问题。他们明明知道三峡总费用900亿中，工程费500亿，搬迁费就占400亿。

 

中国人建了去拉萨的铁路， 西方人就说中国在搞同化， 在对西藏人进行大屠杀。西藏有着我们没有的宽松的计划生育政策，如果那是种族大屠杀， 种族屠杀的概念似乎要改一下了。 

 

西方人对中国的人权指手画脚，对他们的石油盟友沙特阿拉伯等只字不提。拉丁美洲70年代打击不同政见人士时，美国去哪里了？ 泰国枪杀是为学生时，西方人哪里去了？

 

西方人说中国89搞屠杀，美国大使馆当时的文件证明根本没有屠杀，但是他们还是继续捏造死亡人数。

 

中国在印度侵犯中国领土的情况下进行反击，西方人便说中国入侵印度。如果那时是他们不明情况的话，现在世界的历史学家都已有公断，为什么西方媒体还执迷不悟。

 

达赖明明在搞暴力，而且是拿着中央情报局的钱和培训在搞暴力，西方人还熟视无睹，发个诺贝尔大奖章， 表彰非暴力。

 

西方人说中国是专政， 就是邪恶，那么日本战后呢？新加坡呢？

 

中国的玩具按照美国厂商的要求制造，然后美国人说，含铅太多了，我们的小孩吃了会得病的，美国的小孩就是先进，玩具都是用来吃的！

 

这一切表明，无论中国政府中国人做什么，他们都不会开心。

 

要中国退出西藏，除非我们自己愿意。在美国人加拿大人退出美洲大陆，澳大利亚人退出澳洲，新西兰人退出新西兰南北岛之前，在法国人给科西嘉独立，西班牙人给巴斯克独立，英国人给北爱独立 等等等等之前，都先闭嘴。

 

 

 

4月19号留法学生要组织万人游行，反对法国的藏独， 已经拿到警察局的许可。

其实我是不赞成上街的。

 

首先是没必要，我们的国家现在强大了，根本不需要屈服于任何的压力。让藏独们去嚷嚷呗。当初全世界游行反对美国入侵伊拉克，老美不还是我行我素？ 国际政治靠的不是讲道理，也不是游行示威。 奥运一完，全都完蛋。大家还是要做生意的。

 

其次我还是担心个别的险恶的藏独，和法国流氓可能会针对留学生个人，学生的个人人身安全可能会失去保证。不能排除，某一留学生在夜深人静黑灯瞎火的时候受到满怀怨愤的法国流氓的袭击。

 

不过，我决定还是去参加，既然组织了，当然还是人越多越好。

 

从以上可以看出，我已经脱离了愤青的行列。

从刚下过雪的波罗的海，芬兰湾到美国阳光明媚的西海岸，然后横跨米国到东海岸，回到了下大雨的法兰西。

环大西洋归来了，我人回来了，行李被米国人留下了。

米国人知道我不喜欢他们，这就叫相互不喜欢。

我现在最想得就是吃点实在的，两菜一汤。。

 

想了半天，这样决定的：

最近的一些事件让很多人非常的愤慨。我并没有吃惊，因为这是达赖喇嘛可能想象出来的最后的一个机会。 中国政府一定会顶住所有的压力，一帮头脑简单的人权藏独人士嚷嚷几声就嚷嚷几声吧， 几个头头脑脑的不给面子不来捧场也不要紧， 我看胡老大还不一定乐意和那帮人站一起了--会抢了胡老大的风头。 全面抵制奥运也不需要害怕。 奥运， 诺贝尔奖阿什么的，向来就是政治化了的， 我国80年还抵制了莫斯科奥运会呢， 84年才是新中国第一次参加奥运。

 

问题的本质，如果能看到的话，不在于西方人不懂得西藏历史，而在于西方人不愿看到中国的崛起。而西方人的伪善，尤其是以美国人为首的，我8年前刚出国时就已经领教了。我在英国的第一年天天看英国广播电台的新闻，一整年我所看到其所报道的关于中国的新闻只有5件， 全是什么洪水，坠机，中国人把小孩扔到街上不管等。 从那以后，我就知道西方的自由媒体不过如此。如今，中国的崛起看来是不可逆转， 没有一份报纸可以一天没有中国的消息，没有一个电视台可以一天不报道中国。但是在报道完了之后往往都要缀上几句坏话。。。 

 

有一个名词，最近几年大家很少用，那就是“美帝国主义”。 美国一直以来奉行的就是活生生的帝国主义，可是我们的媒体为了世界和谐就不怎么用了。。殊为可惜。

 

在这样的世界里我们应该怎么做，其实罗素在20年代就说得很透彻：他的《中国的问题》第15章说，首先中国人要靠自己：“To begin with, it is clear that China must be saved by her own efforts, and cannot rely upon outside help. ”， 这是因为“All the Great Powers, without exception, have interests which are incompatible, in the long run, with China's welfare and with the best development of Chinese civilization.”

 

简单得说，就是中国要强大，全是强权政治（realpolitics）， 对付日本应当如此，对付米国亦如此。

 

对我们这一代来说，更为重要的不是政治上的独立（political independance）， 二是文化上的独立 (cultural independance).  没有文化上的独立，政治的独立便没有任何意义。罗素说，中国的文化的一部分相比西方的文化是优越的，如果中国为了自保的目的而退后到欧美的层次的话，对中国人，对西方人都不是好事。最简单的一个例子，如果中国人像西方人那么消费的话，这个地球的资源早已经会消耗殆尽。在所有的环境中我一直就有意识的感觉到自己我和他们不同， 并且以这种不同为我自己的骄傲。我们可以向西方文化学习，但是不能让西方文化统治。越来越多的像抵制奥运这样的事情会让更多的年轻一代的中国人接受这种对待西方的态度。

在加州理工的教授俱乐部（Atheneum）吃饭，旁边的一个桌子围坐着12-13个老家伙，据说里面有3-4各诺贝尔奖获得者。。。一坐下来我的小宇宙就感受到了强大脑力的冲击波。。。

斯蒂文.霍金最近经常在这里出没，可惜没有见到。

我是那里除了我讨厌的伊朗女人之外智商最低的一个了吧。

第二次来美国，加州的棕榈树，海滩，还有阳光让我改变了讨厌美国的想法。现在我觉得除了美国人，美国没有什么不好的。。。

这是最近一个月的行程：

布鲁塞尔-巴黎-北京-烟台-北京-巴黎-布鲁塞尔-布鲁日-布鲁塞尔-巴黎- 慕尼黑- 赫尔辛基-易斯普-赫尔辛基-法兰克福-芝加哥-洛杉矶-帕萨蒂娜-洛杉矶-帕萨蒂娜-纽约-巴黎-布鲁塞尔。

 

上一次看日落是在烟台， 忙得仅仅是瞥了一眼，不过还是觉得很幸福。再上一次是3年前在从曼谷到吉隆坡的火车上。很美。那时，心里充满了对未来的憧憬。

 

看到的日出日落，实际却是个假象。太阳从来没有升起也从来没有落下，小学生都知道，太阳是恒星，地球围着太阳转，月亮围着地球转的啊。由于地球的转动，我们才看到的日出日落啊。    快乐也是如此。快乐从来就有没有离开过。 虽然有时看不到， 但是应该相信，快乐永远在那里， 谁都别想拿走。你心里需要什么，你最终都会得到。

 

When did you last watch a sunset? While you were gazing at it did you ponder on how the sun never actually goes down or comes up, that it is only the earth rotating on its axis that causes our view of the sky to alter. This cosmic illusion has a lesson for us all. Happiness never goes away from us. We can no more bring joy to a moment of sadness than we can add sun to the night, but we can trust that nothing is lost forever. If there's something you need, you'll eventually get it.

我们喝酒经常玩一个关于7的游戏。 基本的玩法是这样的，一桌人围在一起数数， 凡是数到与7有关的数字时， 都不能说，只能用手拍桌子一下。反映慢的就要被罚。以前玩的时候海燕常常被罚去洗碗。

 

最近终于找到了这个游戏的渊源。其实古人的玩法比我们的复杂得多但更为有意思：

 

清代俞敦培《酒令丛抄》卷三说：“近见行此令者，有‘明七’拍桌，‘暗七’笑，逢五逢十放一炮之法。又有左手拍则左邻接，右手拍则右邻接。”

 

这里说的明七指的是七，十七，二十七。。。等，暗七指的是十四，二十八等七的倍数。放一炮是什么意思具体还真不知道，可能是模仿“嘭 ”的声音吧。

 

看来中华民族的酒文化还是是经久不衰啊。喝酒曾经是一件多么严肃的事情啊！~女人一定对此不屑一提。这种态度是不对的，是错误的，也是非常要不得的。古人云“敬酒不吃吃罚酒”可不是说着玩的。《汉书.高五王传第八〉里说的那个令人发指的故事就充分证明了这一点：那还是西汉初，吕后专政扶持了很多吕姓的嫡系，姓刘很不满，这自然可以理解，毕竟汉朝还是姓刘的啊！有一次，吕后在朝廷里开party,让20岁的刘章做酒吏， 就是主持大家喝酒的。 刘章说，“臣，将种也， 请得以军法持酒”。 吕后说，好，喝酒就得这么实在。 于是开始喝，喝着喝着，一些不胜酒力的人就开始倒下了，有一个姓吕的一看不好，还是先溜了吧。 倒霉的是，被刘章发现了，立马出去拔剑把他砍了。回到酒席上说：“有亡酒一人，臣谨遵军法斩之。” 酷吧。严肃吧。

 

实际上，在我所去过的地方里面，山东还真的算是酒席规矩最多的地方了。拿座次来说， 一定讲究主客分明，高下清楚。 席间也一定设有陪酒，名为一陪二陪等。去年回国的时候和我爹两个人去赴宴，他老人家还因为我不喑酒席规矩而对我颇有微词呢。 下次我可以讨好他，向他请教一些规矩，然后引经据典写篇论文给他看！

-------

生活还在继续， 并没有因为sako的离婚以及法国人民的罢工而停止。只不过我可以以此为借口在巴黎休息了几天。回到布鲁塞尔的办公室，同事们欢迎我的热情就好像我刚刚从监狱刑满释放一样~

 

日前，为了庆祝地铁罢工的结束以及我重新回到巴黎的群众中间， 我们在干爹楼举办了欢乐烧烤之夜~

 

快下课的时候我就已经坐立不安了，像个小孩一样的。一下了课就赶紧跑回到大学城，罗强，敬涵和汪肖就已经在等了。在我的厨房全在全在布鲁塞尔，物资非常紧缺的情况下，这次活动还是非常的成功啊。 烧烤都不错，烤羊肉串也不错。 只是我的水煮牛肉做得还欠水准，吃起来不是那么嫩。 罗强的兔子得到了非常好的口碑啊。最重要的是在阔别漫长的5个月之后终于重新目睹了金铭小妹妹的风采，还品尝了她孝敬我st emilion grand cru...其实本次聚会也适应她的一再要求， 因为我不搞聚会的话他就没有借口去买酒了-此人自己不爱喝酒但是酷爱买酒。

孟记安终于受不了布鲁塞尔了，决定下周去巴黎投奔我，缓缓空气，吃点好吃的，尤其是我的烤羊肉串，并且学习一下麻将的手艺。

 

Time is not linear. We all understand this - or rather we don't. We know it. We have it on the best possible authority. It makes sense to us when we stop and think about it. Time is an illusion. It doesn't go anywhere at all. Nor do we! Not really. But, then, appearances count for a lot. We can't get past the way things seem to be - no matter how we try. You are now wrestling with a 'time related' problem. You think you can be happy later, but not now. Actually, though, if you relax, you can bring that moment forward.

THE HEART OF PRAJNA PARAMITA SUTRA

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

　　When Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara was practicing the profound Prajna Paramita, he illuminated the Five Skandhas and saw that they are all empty, and he crossed beyond all suffering and difficulty.

　

　　Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness; emptiness does not differ from form. Form itself is emptiness; emptiness itself is form. So too are feeling, cognition, formation, and consciousness.

 

　　Shariputra, all Dharmas are empty of characteristics. They are not produced, not destroyed, not defiled, not pure; and they neither increase nor diminish. Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, feeling, cognition, formation, or consciousness; no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no sights, sounds, smells, tastes, objects of touch, or Dharmas; no field of the eyes up to and including no field of mind consciousness; and no ignorance or ending of ignorance, up to and including no old age and death or ending of old age and death. There is no suffering, no accumulating, no extinction, and no Way, and no understanding and no attaining.

 

　　Because nothing is attained, the Bodhisattva through reliance on Prajna Paramita is unimpeded in his mind. Because there is no impediment, he is not afraid, and he leaves distorted dream-thinking far behind. Ultimately Nirvana! All Buddhas of the three periods of time attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi through reliance on Prajna Paramita. Therefore know that Prajna Paramita is a Great Spiritual Mantra, a Great Bright Mantra, a Supreme Mantra, an Unequalled Mantra. It can remove all suffering; it is genuine and not false. That is why the Mantra of Prajna Paramita was spoken. Recite it like this:

 

Gaté Gaté Paragaté Parasamgaté

 

Bodhi Svaha!
