这些人清一色的是“芝麻区”的人，以“城市人”自居，一提起莱山区，就是“农村”，好一点的，叫“东郊”。

　　自大和狂妄造就了芝罘区的停滞不前。

　　其实，严格的说，芝罘区已经成为烟台市的“西郊”。从政治上讲，烟台市委、市政府已经迁到莱山区，座落在“农村”－－－－孙家滩和北贺处。市公安局指挥中心、市中级人民法院、市检察院的新大楼也已经在附近拔地而起，这是烟台市委大楼短期内不打算迁移的一个信号。从文化上，众所周知，莱山区是全市各县市区中拥有高校最多的，不少原来在芝麻区的所谓“高校”（如电大、教育学院、职业学院）也都要搬迁到莱山区。从经济发展上，莱山区每年在烟台市公布的排名上，总是列在

    Yesterday, we English lovers gathered in Yu huangding Park for the resuming ceremony of Foreign Language Corner, I was one of the enthusiasts there.
     I arrived there at 9 oclock on time, and it’s really sunny day in spite of being a little hot.
    The ceremony started half an hour later than expected,
    I didn’t feel accidental, it’s the tradition of Chinese, I would have been surprised if it started on time. I was very sad that some of the experts and foreigners were sitting on the VIP seats and wasting a long time while other seat was unoccupied. Even if the activity had to be postponed, the organizer should have gather the VIPs at a certain place and led them get on the stage together before start time.

　　女儿从小心气儿就重，会察言观色，可能有的家长非常希望自己的孩子这样懂事。有时候看到女儿的思维象成年人一样，心中不免生出几分怜惜之情，难为这么小的孩子了，她原来应该天真烂漫、不谙世事，完全放松地享受童年才是。在这一点上，她既不象我也不象我妻子，我们俩都属于得过且过型。

　　我最讨厌世俗，讨厌那些所谓会迎来送往所谓的“成熟”和“周全”，其实最难得的是纯真。但是女儿恰恰却又具备善良、体贴的真情，对于父母、对于这个家庭，表现出发自内心地关爱和责任，经常让我内心阵阵酸楚。

　　现在女儿五岁半，明年秋天准备上小学。昨天晚上，全家人外出吃饭。回家后，妻子说自己可能病了，关节有些疼，可能有些发烧。本来，女儿回家就打开了电视，因为自己爱看的动画片已经错过了十分钟，但听到此，也顾不上看电视，跑到另一个房间拉开平时放药品的抽屉，翻找起来。我问女儿：“佳仪，你干啥？”女儿回答：“找体温计，给妈妈量量发不发烧。”

　　晚上喝了少许酒，匆匆收拾了一下就进了卧室，上了床，妻子感冒伴随肠胃不好，还在卫生间，这时孩子把自己的储钱罐也搬到了卧室。这个储钱罐是我们父母为了培养孩子

　　其实，选择商品，在于一个性价比，在于一个实惠性，特别是对于我们这样的工薪层小老百姓。

　　With the theme of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the 3rd International Sand Sculpture Festival kicks off in Haiyang, a coastal city in east China's Shandong Province, on Thursday, June 26, 2008.
　　Haiyang, a popular summer resort in east China's Shandong Province, recently attracted more visitors with the international exhibition of nearly 100 amazing sand artworks.

　　Spanning over 20,000 square meters, about 100 amazing sand artworks were displayed during the 3rd International Sand Sculpture Festival on the beach of the

Even with the advent of the Internet and 24-hour news, it is still a complex enterprise to get people to truly see the problems. When an airplane crashes, officials immediately call a press conference. They promise to investigate, determine the cause, and prevent similar crashes in the future.

即使有了互联网和24小时直播的新闻台，让人们真正发现问题所在，仍然十分困难。当一架飞机坠毁了，官员们会立刻召开新闻发布会，他们承诺进行调查、找到原因、防止将来再次发生类似事故。

But if the officials were brutally honest, they would say: 'Of all the people in the world who died today from preventable causes, one half of one percent of them were on this plane. We're determined to do everything possible to solve the problem that took the lives of the one half of one percent.'

但是如果那些官员敢说真话，他们就会说：“在今天这一天，全世界所有可以避免的死亡之中，只有0.5%的死者来自于这次空难。我们决心尽一切努力，调查这个0.5%的死亡原因。”

The bigger problem is not the plane

President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, parents, and especially, the graduates:

尊敬的Bok校长，Rudenstine前校长，即将上任的Faust校长，哈佛集团的各位成员，监管理事会的各位理事，各位老师，各位家长，各位同学：

I've been waiting more than 30 years to say this: 'Dad, I always told you I'd come back and get my degree.'

有一句话我等了三十年，现在终于可以说了：“老爸，我总是跟你说，我会回来拿到我的学位的！”

I want to thank Harvard for this timely honor. I'll be changing my job next year … and it will be nic

    看了《功夫熊猫》（Gongfu Panda）这部电影，感受颇深。这部电影的对白相对比较简单，感觉中文字幕成为一种fetter，有了倒不如没有直接、达意。
　　G.P.这部影片使我懂得了一个道理：“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery.”(这是Master 乌龟在临终前说的，不是我自己总结的。)　I think I just like the panda in learning English, I just want to share what I’ve learnt from the film.
　　Form the very beginning, panda’s father want his son to “take over(接管)”（电影原文中有，本文中凡加引号的英文，都是引用电影原文） his restaurant. He has a good skill of noodle.　当熊猫告诉父亲他做了一个关于noodle的梦时，父亲高兴地认为“the dream is a sign(兆头)”。但看起来，熊猫似乎更有自己理想，并不是象父亲希望的那样做一个好cook。
　　但是，“You don't belong here”，中原五大武林高手都
