生存还是毁灭
100美元一桶，不是“狼来啦”，是“狼”真的来了！对于已经在90多美元徘徊了很久的油价，攀上100美元只不过是个时间问题，但当这个价格真的出现的时候，还是造成全世界的震动，因为这个数字极具象征意义：它象征着石油作为一种廉价能源的时代结束了。

To be or not to be
The nightmare is approaching! The oil price has finally surged to ?90/barrel ($100/barrel) after a long-time swing around ?10/barrel ($90/barrel)。The rise seems to mark the end of the times where oil is considered as a cheap energy. To be or not to be, it is up to you.

矩阵革命 2008北美国际车展
2008年的底特律北美国际车展给人最深刻的印象是“反差”，鲜明的“反差”。一方面是环保主题继续大行其道，另一方面豪华大排量SUV和劲爆跑车也卷土重来。

Matrix Revolution 2008 NAIAS
Talk about contrasts. Next week's Detroit auto show features fuel-sipping hybrids, zero-emissions fuel cells and a healthy dose of gasolinesucking, rubber-burning, performance cars. When the green and mean are lined up happily together, you can never tell whether it's a harmonious society or just the beginning of a matrix revolution.

挑战速度 法拉利430 Scuderia
假设有一天你中了1亿元的大奖，你会做什么，开辆法拉利一边放着摇滚乐一边在路边和美女搭讪？如果你开的是430 SCUDERIA，那么这个梦想绝对无法实现，因为他连收音机都没有，更别说CD了。

Challenging the speed Ferrari 430 Scuderia
Let’s presume that one day you won the lottery of 100 million, what would you do then? Driving a Ferrari and flirting with a few girls? You may also choose to listen to rock’n’roll in the car to release your excitement. But if the auto you drive is 430 Scuderia, the dream can never comes to true as it even has no radio installed.

以“静”制动 英菲尼迪M35
紧跟着2008款的推出，英菲尼迪开始在中国市场销售M级车型是个不错的时机。虽然动作比两个日系竞争对手稍慢，但他却握有自己的制胜底牌——优雅的设计、精湛的工艺、独特的品位，M35很可能还在静止时就把你感动了。

Speed behind smoothness Infiniti M35
It is a good timing for Infiniti as it has followed the launch of other new ser ies in 2008. Although Nissan is a bit slower than the other two Japanese competitors, he has its own silver bullets which are stylish design, excellent packaging and unique style. M35 is quite touching even when it stays still.

岁月流逝，一战王牌飞行员们的英雄事迹早已随风远逝，可能你也很难去收藏像Camel, Spad XIII，Nieuport 17或者福克D-VII这样的“经典” 飞机来满足对昔日空中英雄们的向往。不过，你倒是可以考虑用宝马Z4 3.0si、保时捷Boxster或者奥迪全新TT3.2 Quattro Roadster作为他们的替代者。

German aircraft Audi TT Roadster 3.2 Quattro S Tronic VS BMW Z4 3.0si VS Porsche Boxster
Those leading pilots in World War I have faded away with time. So it is hard to imagine that someone would collect such aircrafts as Camel, Spad XIII just to satisfy their nostalgia for the figures. But if you insist, alternatively you can consider Audi TT Roadster 3.2 Quattro S Tronic, BMW Z4 3.0si or Porsche Boxster.

让耳朵去旅行 Bose车载音响系统
“一家设计、生产和销售高级扬声器和功率放大器的专业音响制造商”，这是我对Bose最初的印象。不过当有机会近距离接触到它时，我几乎彻底改变了看法。
