伪造报纸捧得中国新闻最高奖

中国新闻最高奖曝出大丑闻:伪造报纸获三等奖

作者:yangzhouren123 提交日期:2007-8-29 19:35:00

 
2007年8月29日,可以算得上是中国新闻界的耻辱日吧。
 
看了今天公部的中国新闻奖,太令人吃惊了.一张伪造的《扬州晚报》通过层层严格平选,先后获得江苏省好新闻一等奖,第十七届中国新闻奖新闻摄影复评获奖作品及分类金奖,然后拿到第十七届中国新闻奖三等奖。
 
这个令人笑掉大牙的获奖作品《千年古城捧回“联合国人居奖”》 (作者:程建平 编者:陈征宇 单位:扬州晚报)(网址:http://news.xinhuanet.com/zgjx/2007-06/18/content_6258248.htm),是刊登在一张子虚乌有的2006年10月16日A5版的报纸上(网址:http://www.yznews.com.cn/yzwb/html/2006-10/16/node_4253.htm)。而实际的《扬州晚报》2006年10月16日A5版,是一个“24小时快拍人居扬州”的专版,版面上的照片与伪造的报纸完全不一样,作者也不一样,扁辑也不一样。报纸下面,还有一个通栏广告。这张真实的报纸可在扬州市民的家中、各图书馆、单位的资料室里可以查到。
 
据我们向报社的同志聊解,扬州晚报成立五十年来,从没有获得过中国新闻奖。这两年,新上任的扬州晚报社社长王根保雄心勃勃要拿中国新闻奖,一再许诺,谁要是拿到中国新闻奖,不仅有丰厚的10万元物质奖励,职务上还会提一级。程建平是扬州晚报的副总编,再提一级不就是总编了嘛,这样的诱惑显然有着巨大的造假动力。
 
从社会影响上说,虽然为获奖而伪造报纸,造成的危害并不如“纸馅包子”事件那么严重。然而,报社“全员发动”造假,在深层次上对报纸公信力的杀害无疑是致命的。相对于编造一则假新闻而言,伪造报纸要难得多,这个过程涉及到记者、编辑、画版员、制版员、校对、印刷员、电脑网络员、部门主任、值班总编等等,如果没有报纸领导的支持或默许,一张假报纸是根本不可能“出笼”的。我们老百姓在得悉这一事情的真相后,人人震惊,继而愤怒,一个“全员造假”的报纸,还有什么值得相信?现在看来,《扬州晚报》报纸上醒目的口号“公理、关爱、求真”真是莫大的讽刺。
 
近年来,中国新闻奖的评选越来越公开透明,比如在今年的评选中,获奖作品要在网上公示七天。然而,伪造报纸能获得中国新闻奖,说明目前的公开透明还远远不够。首先,在江苏省新闻奖的评选中,还存在暗箱操作的现象,听说江苏省新闻奖就在扬州评的,但作品没有公示,几个评委一碰头就定了。实际上,如果评委认真一点,找一份报纸原件,那么假报纸就露馅了。其次,在中国新闻奖的评选过程中,公示时间太短,只有七天时间。另外,获奖作品公示的媒体也比较冷门,像中华新闻传媒网、新华网传媒频道和中华新闻报,一般市民很难看到,建议以后中国新闻奖作品的公示最好能放在国内一些大型门户网站的新闻首页上。毕竟这是国内新闻的最高奖项,若以后《扬州晚报》的造假手法被效仿,不断有造假报纸获奖,那笑话就闹大了。

Speed-Reading Techniques

I was a Bible college student when one of our chapels featured a guest speaker who taught us how to speed-read. At the time I didn't need the skill since most collateral reading assignments in my courses were under 500 pages, but I started practicing just for the fun of it -- sort of like a private parlor game. However all that changed when I wound up in graduate school at Princeton Seminary and several Profs. expected me to read several thousand pages of collateral along with the five or six textbooks. That's when I got serious about speed reading. Here is the collection of what I practiced then, and picked up since. The first thing I had to do was toss away the reading myths I had held so long.

Reading Myths

1. Reading is linear.

I had always figured reading was a linear process; you know, start up front and grind through to the very end in the exact order it was printed in. Reading is no more linear than thinking is, (or I eventually discovered, than writing; few writers start at the beginning -- indeed, they usually "write the first part last."

2. True reading is word-for-word.

I started as a kid looking at individual letters. They didn't help much. Next I started sounding out syllables. Finally, I could read whole words. Why stop with words? Well, I know one reason? I had a college professor who made us swear we had "Read every single word" of our collateral reading. Why? He didn't make us swear we'd "read every single letter." The answer is simple: that professor (like me) had never moved from letters, syllables, and words, to reading phrases, sentences and paragraphs. He assumed the only way to read thoroughly was by the laborious method of reading one word at a time.

3. Reading is a laborious task which takes a long time.

Not at all! Reading can be both fun and fast. Indeed, speed reading is like auto racing -- it is far more exciting.

4. All parts of a book are of equal value. This myth persists until you actually write your own book. Then, all at once you realize there is "filler" material , illustrations, and even sometimes whole chapters jammed into a book just because the publisher insisted. Take messages for instance. Ever hear a message and wish you could put it on fast forward over that long story illustrating a point you already understand? Well, in reading you can fast forward.

5. Reading faster will reduce retention. Sorry. It should be that way, shouldn't it? Those who groan slowly through a book painstakingly sounding out every single word, maybe even moving their lips, should get a greater reward shouldn't they? Sorry. In fact, speed reading techniques will increase one's comprehension and retention.

Getting Ready to Read

So, we're ready to read. But don't read the book yet. There are a few steps to take first.

FIRST: ELIMINATE ALL DISTRACTIONS:

Get rid of ANYthing your mind could think about besides the reading material. Is there conversation? Activity? TV? An uncomfortable seat? Music in the background? (OK OK, I know many of my readers are college students who claim they "study better" with music in the background. Go ahead and claim it -- but you are wrong. You might "like it" better, but you do not study better. ANYthing which might occupy your mind waters down your concentration -- even occupying your "mind-in-background." Fool yourself if you wish -- but if you really are serious about reading faster, eliminate distractions.

SECOND: Ask: What is my purpose? Why are you reading this? And what kind of literature is it? Is it a classic or fiction work you are reading for fun? Then, why hurry through it at all? Like a leisurely meal, sit back and taste each bite -- turn over the delicious phrases in your mind. Or is collateral reading for a course where you are must be familiar with the central notions? Then finding the notions is why you are reading, right? Or maybe you are reading collateral where you will be tested on the content? Or maybe collateral reading where you will be required to say, "I read every single word?" Or is this a book where you will be tested on the terms and dates therein? Or, maybe you are just reading the book searching for some new ideas for your own situation. Or you have to write a review. Or maybe you plan to teach it to others. See how different your purpose might be for each? Before you open the book, take a minute to state your purpose to yourself. It will largely determine how you read the book from then on.

THIRD: Do a 10 minute PRE-READ

. Take ten minutes or less and pre-read the entire book. Go ahead and try this if you've never done it before. Treat a book like a jigsaw puzzle. Dump it out, then organize all the pieces first before putting it together. Read the dust cover and any cover reviews. Then look through the author blurb. Move to the Table of Contents and see if you can figure out the whole book from this page. Page through the entire book, page by page and glance through all summaries, tables, pull-out quotes, diagrams(especially), and scan through all the section titles and you go.

Chances are you'll find the KEY CHAPTER while you are doing this. Some publishers say (off the record, of course) "A book is simply one great chapter with a dozen other filler chapters." If this is so, find that chapter.

FOURTH: Read the KEY CHAPTER. Start using the rapid reading techniques mentioned later to read this KEY CHAPTER through. You are not obligated to wait until you have read all the chapters before this one, as if you must eat your green beans before the ice cream. The book is yours -- go ahead and get the central idea before you start!

Once you've read the key chapter you are ready to read the rest. In order from the front to the back, or in some other order which better suits your purpose. Now for some actual reading tips tips.

 

III. Rapid Reading Techniques

1. Raise your speed- comfort level.

How comfortable are you speeding in a car? How fast do you have to go before you feel you are "on the edge?" 70 MPH? 90? 120? How about 210 MPH, the speed the Indy car drivers can average? Get the point? Some people have learned to drive faster; their comfort level has been raised. You can do the same thing for reading. Face it, speed-reading isn't mostly about technique; it is about mind set. Indeed this may be the reason you can play a CD while reading -- you are merely driving along at 25MPH. Can you imagine an Indy car driver playing music in the background? No. The driver focuses all his or her skills on the track. If you are out for a Sunday afternoon stroll in your book, then ignore this. But if you are serious about becoming a speed-reader, then start expecting more of yourself.

2. See the book as a mine full of ORE not GOLD. Books offer wonderful gold to the prospector. But the reader must sort through tons of ore to find and refine the gold. The speed reader changes mindsets: quits fooling around with the ore and searches for the gold. What is a book anyway? What are words? They are "carriers" of truth, thoughts, ideas, a thesis, information, terms, concepts, notions. One reads a book to get the message, not to obsess on the words. (I'm tempted here to talk about Bible study, but we shall let it pass this time.) Switch your mindset to looking for the gold.

3. Quit Subvocalizing. Most of us learned to read by sounding out the words. The trouble is, most of us never stopped. Sure, maybe we no longer audibly sound them out, or even move our lips, but in our heads we are "reading to ourselves." We have learned to read by Mouth-and-Ear. To become a speed reader one must discard this habit (or at least reduce it) and adopt the eye-and-mind method. It is mostly a matter of mind set. Instead of acting like the ear (even in one inside your head) is the route to the mind, begin believing that the eye is the gate to the mind. Start drinking in books through your eyes. Let the books pass into the mind directly from the eye, skipping the mouth and ears. Go ahead and start trying it.

 4. Use your finger.

For most beginning speed-readers this is a shock. They remember reading in grade school with their finger and assume it slows one down. Actually the finger is your pace car. It leads you forward at a speedy pace, and keeps you on focus and avoiding back-skipping. There are several ways to use your finger (or hand) but just try it out for starters. As you improve, buy one of the books on speed-reading and settle on the pattern which works best for you.

5. Break the Back-skip habit

. Most of us read along a line of type like this one to get the interpretation of the meaning, but as we read our eyes jump back to dwell on a word we just passed. We do this without knowing it. In fact, probably the only way to discover how many times you back skip is to have someone watch you read and count the eye-darts back. But, unless you have someone you feel pretty comfortable staring you in the face while you read, just trust me -- you probably back-skip. How to stop? First confess you do it. Then start recognizing when you do it. Finally when tempted to back-skip, treat the book like a movie -- that is, even if you miss something in a movie, you don't stop the video and replay it. You just let it flow on through, hoping you'll make it up later.

6. Use your peripheral vision. Just like you must develop a muscle in the gym, so your mind can be trained to use the eye-gate to take in a broader amount of data. For instance, instead of reading left to right across the lines, pretend there is a line right down the middle of this page and you are following the line. Let your eye take in through peripheral vision the phrases to the right or left. Can you do it? With practice you can train your mind to read on "both sides of the road" even though your eyes are on the center line. To practice this skill most speed readers actually draw lines down pages of a book until they have mastered the skill with an invisible line. Let your mind drink in the information on the page without looking directly at it -- just like you "see" the sides of the road when driving an automobile.

7. Learn to read KEY WORDS. 40-60% of the words on a page are neither critical nor important. Indeed, if someone took white-out and hid them from your sight, you could still figure out what the paragraph was communicating. So, it stands to reason that if you could figure out which are these KEY WORDS you could scan past the other words and let your mind fill in the blank. Train your mind to find these key words and you'll add even more speed to your reading.

8. Eliminate "Bus Stops" (Eye rests

). As your eyes read down this line they stop periodically and "rest" on a word. Children's eyes often rest on every single word as they learn to read. Then as you grow your eyes move smoothly down the line like a lawn mower, then you stop a split second on a word, then start back up again. Most reader never get over this habit, but like a bus stopping at every corner, it slows down your progress. Try to reduce your eye rests to 3-4 per line, maybe even less as you get better? keep the eye moving smoothly line after line, letting your mind drink in the knowledge on the line.

9. Take breaks

. The research is clear. Steady reading hour after hour is less efficient than taking a five minute break every hour or less. Sit down to read 100 pages in the next hour. Set an alarm even. Then reward yourself with a cookie or sandwich when you've reached your goal in 60 minutes.

10. Set a time goal.

Have a 300 page book to read? Decide how fast you'll read it. If you are not a speedy reader, maybe you'll only set the US average reading speed as your goal: one page a minute (250 words/min.). Or if you are already an above average reader, set 100 pages an hour and plunge in. If you picked 100 pages an hour, that's 50 in a half hour, 17 per 10 minutes or 1.7 pages per minute. Keep on track? pretend like you are in an auto race? push yourself, concentrate, get yourself out there on the "racer's edge" -- the line just short of out-of-control, yet still in command. Do it; it will be exciting!

 

IV Retention Techniques

1. Underline, circle, make margin notes. Not highlighting the whole page like some students do! Usually you will not mark more than two or three items per page, and many pages will have no markings. Marking pages increases recall -- do you have a marked-up Bible? If you do, you can almost "see" the page in your head when recalling it. Marking helps. (Highlighting may help -- your own markings, however, are probably superior).

2. Dog-ear important pages

. In a 250 page book there will probably be 25 pages worth dog-earing. Turn down the page to return later. The bigger the dog-ear the more important the page. Most books have only four or five half-page-dog ears.

3. Transfer key notes to front of book.

Got a great point here? The central message? The quote which essentially represents the whole book? Write it down in the front of the book. Why? Generally speaking when it comes to new information you either "Use it or lose it in 20 minutes." When you discover it, flip the book open to the front and scribble it down; it will cement the notion into your mind. Better yet, link it to something you already know and write that down too. Linked information can be recalled far better than isolated information.

4. When finished, re-read dog-eared pages

. Just run back through and re-read the gold. Here is the essence of the book (if you made judgements right going through).

 5. Now write an "abstract" in the back or front. You are finished! Go for a pizza? but not just yet. Take a few more minutes and write an "abstract" up front in your own words. When the writer submitted the proposal for this book, he or she probably actually had a single paragraph or page, outlining what this book was all about. To summarize the book, simply "reverse engineer" the book back to the author?s abstract or thesis.

6. Consider drawing a "MindMap" of the contents

. If you are going to be tested on this book, get someone to teach you how to use Tony Buzan's "Mind Map" to remember the entire book on a single page. Remember, the mind mostly recalls ideas and pictures, not words. A Mind Map will enable you to "picture" the whole book and you'll look like you posses a "photographic" (which you really don't need, if you simply follow the advice in this article).

7. But if you borrowed the book

, and can't mark it, dog-ear it, or otherwise "use" this took -- then use 3M stickers instead of dog-ears, and write your comments on half-sheets of paper as you go.

Finally,

remember this: speed-reading is not some magical secret you can pick up in ten minutes and Presto! You now can read 1000 words per minute. True, you can learn to read faster; perhaps double your present speed in two weeks. But to become a life-long rapid reader (like becoming a proficient race car driver) takes time, concentration and practice. This short article can get you started, but to really become expert you'll need to practice plenty.

To help you develop this skill further try one of the many books on rapid reading. (You only need one to start with, most all articles (like this one) books and courses basically cover similar techniques.)

水锥 —— 将咸水转化为淡水的巧妙装置

原文地址:Watercone - An Ingenious Way To Turn Salt Water Into Fresh Water

译文地址: 水锥 —— 将咸水转化为淡水的巧妙装置

翻译: 任平生

水锥(Watercone)是一个可以将盐分从咸水里分离出来而产生淡水的巧妙装置,它需要的唯一动力就是阳光!这个装置的构造简单,所需驱动力仅仅是阳光,因此制造它是非常的容易而且廉价。

水锥最突出的就是它圆锥形的外观,你可以将它罩在一个盛有盐水的平底盘上(也可以罩在一块沼泽湿地或者潮湿的土地上)放在阳光下面,随着水份的蒸发,水蒸气凝却在锥形罩上,并顺着罩子流下聚集在锥形罩底部的槽中。傍晚的时候,你快速的倒转锥形罩,拧开它顶部的盖子,就可以收集下这些淡水了。

这个装置的优点就是它可以使众多的人群受益。如那些生活在地下水被盐质污染的人们,那些没有足够水源的地方(南太平洋、撒哈拉沙漠以南的非洲、中东等地)。水锥是使用抗紫外线的塑料制成,它有五年使用期限,这之后,可以将它翻转过来作为漏斗,用来收集雨水。

据称一个水锥装置平均每天可以净化一升的淡水。由于水锥可以浮在水面上,我们可以将它漂浮在咸水湖上,每天收集净化后的淡水,只用花费大约20欧元就可以供应四到五年可饮用的淡水,而且它是可循环利用且不易燃的装置,这是个多么奇妙的用具啊。

而且水锥还有还有一些有趣的信息,我很乐意指出它们:

1. 平均下来你会发现它比瓶装水要便宜;

2. 它的确十分简单易用

3. 非常适合沿海居民

4. 非常好的医疗用途,适合那些缺水地方的医院转化淡水。

5. 创制就业机会:在缺水的地方投资这样的装置来生产淡水,很快就能获得回报。

最应该拍的5部电影

最应该拍的5部电影

□刘湘明


    我们的那些大导演们每天坐在屋里总想编一些让我们震撼、让我们流泪的电影,其实这些题材哪有那么难找呢?我随便就能说出几个,相信在很多人心中,这样的电影还有很多很多。


史诗片:《岳飞》


    《勇敢的心》中表现出的苏格兰人的勇敢不屈,让全世界对苏格兰的形象刮目相看。这样的悲剧英雄在中国数不胜数,为什么我们的导演却尽是拍些《十面埋伏》《无极》《夜宴》这样浮躁空洞、杜撰矫情的电影呢?
    这样的悲剧英雄,我想每一个中国人首先想起的,肯定是岳飞。我每次去杭州,总要抽时间到岳王庙看看,然后顺着岳王庙旁边的小路,再到山上去看看冷冷清清的牛皋墓。史书上说,牛皋并不是坐在金兀术身上笑死的,而是被接替岳飞的官员找借口杀掉的。小时候听惯了刘兰芳的《岳飞传》,长大后看到了几本严肃的岳飞传记,才得知岳飞并不像我们想象的那样愚忠,他自己有很高的政治智慧,一本传记里甚至将他的死部分归罪于他和皇帝在立储问题上意见的不统一以及岳飞本人的过分坚持。他流传于世的两首词,一首《满江红》抒发的是北上抗敌的豪情,另一首《小重山》则表达了政治上不得志的苦闷。
    岳飞本人的故事已经足够精彩和悲壮,岳飞周围的人也能为电影增色。例如杨再兴。先为流寇,后杀了岳飞的弟弟岳翻。但岳飞爱惜他是个人才,把他抓住后反而收留了他。1140年,金国撕毁盟约进攻南宋,兀术率1.5万铁甲精兵进攻郾城,杨再兴单枪匹马杀入敌阵想活捉兀术,负伤几十处才冲回来,杀得以剽悍著称的女真人闻风丧胆。5日后,杨再兴率三百骑兵巡逻到临颍县小商桥时遭遇兀术主力12万人。杨再兴率这300人冲入敌阵,杀死敌人2000多人,刺死万户长等大头目100余人。其时金兵箭如飞蝗,杨再兴身上每中一枚敌箭,就随手折断箭杆,继续杀敌,犹如天人降世,神威凛然,最后马陷泥中,和三百骑兵一起壮烈殉国。后来金兵焚烧他的尸身,竟烧出铁箭头二升有余。
    这样的电影,要场面有场面、要情节有情节,为什么就没有人拍呢?


武侠片:《聂政》


    中国导演总想拍点儿感人的武侠片,但总拍成不伦不类的风光喜剧片。其实这方面的题材实在太多,例如司马迁《史记》中的《刺客列传》,就是一个远未开发的大宝藏。里面除了荆轲刺秦,聂政的故事也是一个适合拍成大制作的绝佳脚本,应该不输于《角斗士》或者《七武士》。
   聂政是战国时齐国一个勇士。因为杀了人,和母亲、姐姐流落市井,以屠狗为生。当时韩国大臣严仲子与韩相侠累有仇,试图花重金收买聂政去行刺。但是聂政非常孝顺,以“老母在,政身未敢以许人也”为由谢绝了严仲子。后来母亲去世,聂政主动找到严仲子,“老母今以天年终,政将为知己者用”。严仲子准备派“车骑壮士”辅助聂政。聂政豪气干云,认为人多必失,“遂谢车骑人徒,乃辞独行”。
   后面的场景是一个十足的大场面,我每每想起都觉得热血沸腾。到了韩国,聂政仗剑从街上直接杀到侠累面前,如探囊取物般完成了任务。他还顺手刺伤了当时坐在旁边的韩国国君韩哀侯。随后,聂政大呼不止,又连杀数十人,看到无法逃脱,为了避免有人认出自己,他用剑自毁面容,然后剖腹自尽。后聂政被暴尸于市,韩国国君悬赏百金以求线索。
   影片如果到此为止,就如同荆轲的故事没有高渐离一样,只是一部二流的功夫片。后面的情节发展却从无比的刚烈转而变得无比浓情——后来聂政的姐姐聂荣听说有刺客刺杀了韩相而被暴尸街头,怀疑是自己的弟弟所为,立即动身到韩国去探究竟。到达暴尸之处,聂荣一眼就认出了自己的弟弟。她知道弟弟为了保护自己而自毁容貌而死,但这个烈性女子不愿保全自己而埋没弟弟的名声,于是坦然告诉路人这个刺客是自己的弟弟,他的名字叫聂政。然后,在路人惊愕的目光下,她就倒在了聂政身旁。一个弱女子,不惜“绝险千里以列其名”,一时震惊周围诸国。
故事到此还没有结束。后来到了东汉,这个故事被改写进了琴曲;又到了西晋,一个才智超绝的才子使这一琴曲成为千古绝响——这个才子就是竹林七贤中的嵇康,这首琴曲就是著名的《广陵散》。

 

战争片:《平型关大捷》

  
  很久没有看过中国拍出什么像样的战争片了,除了《拯救大兵瑞恩》,就是《兄弟连》或者《黑鹰坠落》,剩下的关于中国电影的战争印象,几乎都是黑白的。

    平型关之战历时一个月,战场绵延数百里,我方投入兵力十多万人,历经大小战斗数十次,其中平型关大捷是抗日战争中第一个规模较大的歼灭战——115师在付出巨大代价的情况下,歼灭敌军1000多人,毁敌汽车100辆,大车200辆,缴获步枪1000多支,轻重机枪20多挺,战马53匹,另有其他大量战利品,是中国抗战开始后取得的第一次大胜利,粉碎了“日军不可战胜”的神话。不仅如此,平型关战役更是国共合作在战役上配合的典范,从战役开始,阎锡山就与八路军总政委周恩来、副总司令彭德怀共商作战计划;战役进行中,国共双方部队进行了很好的配合和掩护,阎锡山甚至接受周恩来建议,建立战地动员会。

    在这个题材上,可以附着很多层的含义。在合适的时候,应该可以拍吧。


 

人物片:《李广》


 

   李广也是一个悲剧英雄。他天生异质,臂长如猿,可能是中国有史以来最好的弓箭射手。
   一次,一个宦官被三名匈奴骑士射伤,慌忙逃回报告给李广。李广认定三人是匈奴的顶尖射雕高手,于是亲率百名骑兵追赶。在几十里后追上,李广亲自射杀两人,生擒一人。刚把俘虏缚上马往回走,匈奴数千骑兵赶来。李广的100名骑兵十分害怕,都想掉头逃命。李广则命令前进,一直走到离匈奴阵地不到二里的地方才停下。他下令所有人下马解鞍,匈奴骑兵以为是诱敌,果真不敢冒攻。到了半夜时分,匈奴害怕汉军在附近有伏兵,竟然连夜撤退。第二天一早,李广从容地回到了部队。
   李广前后与匈奴作战40多年,却始终得不到封侯,很多他的手下或者才能不及他的人后来都位居他之上。在卫青和霍去病屡伐匈奴不断取得胜利的时候,汉武帝却总认为他年老而不起用。在他60多岁的时候,终于得到机会随卫青出征,却因为卫青的随意调动而迷路导致贻误战机。卫青问责下来,李广不愿让手下负罪,也不愿让自己以花甲之躯再面对刀笔吏的审问,于是愤而自刎。他死后,无论认识还是不认识他的人,都为之落泪。
   但他的悲剧并没有完结。李广有三个儿子,两个都比他死得早。还有一个李敢屡立战功,因卫青逼死父亲而向卫青寻仇未果,后来被霍去病在狩猎时射死。多年后,李广的孙子李陵孤军深入匈奴腹地,死战八日,“食乏而救兵不到”,遂投降匈奴。匈奴单于久闻李氏家声,把女儿嫁给了他。但李陵在汉朝的妻母孩子都被汉武帝杀掉,为他讲话的司马迁也被处以腐刑。从此李氏名败。李广之功绩,或许不如卫青、霍去病二人,然而王昌龄《出塞》“但使龙城飞将在,不叫胡马度阴山”一句中,只提飞将军,而不提大将军霍骠骑,何也?
   在电影《巴顿将军》中,巴顿总是认为自己是古代名将——汉尼拔、恺撒的转世。如果他读过中国历史,不知道他会不会想起那个和他一样勇猛却不得志的李广来。

灾难片:《唐山大地震》

 

   今年是9"11五周年,美国关于9"11的电影已经次第推出。美国人总是喜欢表现大灾难来临时小人物的种种悲欢离合。取材于真实事件的电影《93号航班》便再现了乘客和机组成员与家人通过电话的生离死别,以及与劫机者的殊死搏斗。这种对于灾难中的小人物命运的关注,不仅仅是对死者的纪念,更是对生者精神的凝聚。
   今年也是唐山大地震的30周年祭。那一夜突然逝去的24万人的生命,并不是一个简单的统计数字。在这个庞大数字的背后,有很多感人的故事一直在流传。例如,在当时,唐山大地震是被准确预测出来了,和唐山相邻的青龙县因为父母官冒着丢乌纱帽的危险将震情及时通知到每户,在大地震中竟无一人直接遇难。已经30年过去了,如果没有人去挖掘这些,很多事情就将永远地随时间消逝。在对这场大灾难的反思和回顾中,我们既需要树立对未来的信心,也同样需要对生命的珍视和纪念。
   这部片子会需要很多特技镜头和大场面,但总比《无极》浪费掉的3亿元人民币要值得多。这个时候,那些所谓的大片导演去哪里了呢?

虽然域名资源日益稀缺,可就是偏偏有人注了好域名什么都不做,白白地浪费掉。 这里有一张列表,列出了 30 个浪费掉的绝世好米。

1) Cool.com
PageRank: 无资料
Alexa 排名 排名: 350,000 名之后
此域名处于域名停放状态。# 所谓域名停放,就是一种为域名自动生成网页的技术系统。网页中通常包含了广告赞助商的链接; 广告赞助商为访问者的点击而付费, 域名所有人可以从中分享收入。

2) Hot.com
只有一页,除了几个无聊的 logo之外,啥都没有了。

3) Porn.com
PageRank: 无资料
Alexa 排名: 无资料
域名处于停放状态,但是页面设计得很好。可能域名的主人通过停放也赚了不少钱吧?想想也知道,网上有那几个域名可以像这个一样带来那么多的访客呢?随便做一个普通的情色站点赚到的钱也比域名停放要多吧,真是太浪费了。# 真是晕啊,居然还被盾了。

4) Sexy.com
主页是一个警告页面,询问你是要进入还是要离开,点进入就会去到一个域名停放页面,点离开则是去到一个指定的网站(估计也是广告),而不是关闭页面。

5) Alien.com / 6) Ufo.com
这两个域名可以归到同一类。当全部人都在讨论外星人和UFO的时候,这两个域名肯定是大家在网上查找资料时第一个输入的单词。可结果如何?Alien.com 是一个 404 页面; UFO.com 则是一个域名停放页面。

7) Toy.com
PageRank: 0
Alexa 排名: 三百万名之后
罕见的三字母域名,又是一个域名停放页面。

8 ) Pal.com
这是一个奇怪的搜索引擎。又一个三字母域名浪费掉了。

9) Queen.com
处于域名停放状态。

10) Oral.com
处于域名停放状态。

11) Crazy.com
处于域名停放状态。这么好的域名拿来浪费,确实够疯狂的。

12) Pro.com
确实有够 Pro 的,一打开居然显示 403 forbidden。

13) Cash.com
PageRank: 无资料
Alexa 排名: Over 2 million
处于域名停放状态。

14) Card.com
处于域名停放状态。页面上挂的是信用卡广告,拿来做扑克牌赌博网站的话,估计可以日进斗金。

15) Super.com
处于域名停放状态。

16) Store.com
处于域名停放状态。本来它可以成为另一个ebay, 或者 amazon,谁知道呢?

17) Cloth.com / 18) Clothing.com
处于域名停放状态。女人的衣服多好赚啊,那么好的域名就这样浪费掉了。

19) Personal.com
处于域名停放状态。拿来做交友或者个人信息类的网站还不错。

20) Join.com
处于域名停放状态。

21) Fight.com
PageRank:1
Alexa 排名: 一百万名之后
和拳击啊,打架有关的你就来这个网站吧,一定找不到相关的信息。

22) Gamble.com
PageRank: 3
Alexa 排名: 八百万名之后
处于域名停放状态。

23) Home.com / 24) House.com
处于域名停放状态。至少还有那么几个页面给你看,房地产商们居然放过这两个域名。

25) Dance.com
处于域名停放状态。

26) Pay.com
处于域名停放状态。

27) Host.com
处于域名停放状态。这个域名拿来做虚拟主机提供商总比 bluehost,dreamhost 之类的要拽多了吧?

28) Men.com
PageRank:3
Alexa 排名: 250,000 之后
其实不算浪费了,此域名被人以 130 万美金买下,做了一个还蛮不错的网站,之所以说浪费,是因为这么强的域名居然带不旺那个网站。

29) Plan.com
PageRank:0
Alexa 排名: 五百万名之后
处于域名停放状态。

30) My.com
只有两个字母,用来做了一个失败的虚拟主机网站。

    人生感悟:学会向后看

      两位美国科学家做过一个有趣的试验:在两个玻璃瓶里分别放进5只苍蝇、5只蜜蜂,然后将瓶底对着亮光,瓶口朝向暗处。几小时后,5只苍蝇从瓶子后端暗处找到出口,爬了出来,5只蜜蜂全都撞死。

      科学家分析认为,蜜蜂把有光源的地方看作唯一出路,每次都朝同一方向飞,而苍蝇不死盯着那点儿亮,碰壁后知道向后看。蜜蜂与苍蝇,一前一后,一生一死,揭示了成功的秘诀。将昆虫换成人类,道理同样适用。在困境中学会向后看,另谋出路,是一种智慧人生。

      人生有亮点,自然就有暗点,而且经常发生错位。懂得向后看,修正自己,调整人生,重定坐标,当前面天空遮盖浮云失去色彩时,回头同样能看见蔚蓝。这是积极的人生态度,是珍重生活的方式,是一种生命的支撑,是生活的主色调之一,是大聪明、大智慧。回头感悟人生哲思,重新理解生活,从容面对喧嚣纷杂的世界,就不会因昨天错过今天。

      一家纺织厂有两个四十岁的女性同时下岗,一个是工程师,一个是工人。工程师愤怒、吵闹、谩骂,无法解脱。女工则很快走出阴影,发挥烹调特长,在亲友的帮助下,开了个小火锅店,一年多不仅还清了借款,生意还扩大了好多倍,如今已是当地小有名气的餐馆。

      生活总喜欢把荣辱、成败、得失等对立的东西同时呈现在人们面前,考验人的心性。这时往往需要向后看,理清思绪,拥有一颗平常心,学会平静地说再见,避免误入激流,剑走偏锋,伤及他人和自身。

      电视剧《九岁县太爷》里的酒店女老板说,任何人一生或许有两件事都躲不过:讨饭、坐牢。许多人猜不透话中玄机。其实她是指“形与神”。有些人形没讨饭,但神在讨饭,形没坐牢,但神在坐牢。这种心态监牢、心理监牢、情绪监牢、精神监牢,恐怕不少人都坐过。不“坐牢”,是人生的成熟。

      向后看,不是消极回首,而是一种前瞻;不是刻意逃避,而是一种壮行;不是甘于平庸,而是角色转换;不是砸碎原有生活框架,而是在现有框架里构建新生活。张果老倒骑驴,“功夫向后看,功效向前进”。

      人生之旅风一程雨一程,人生脚印或深或浅,美好事物常从指缝滑落,悲伤与阵痛,链接冷暖更迭,交替人生苦乐。美好的过去值得留恋,但不能指望谁都给你阳光。回头想想,人生如戏,自己才是唯一的导演,前半部戏不管如何让人后悔,也无法重新改编,唯一的选择是让后半部日臻完美。

      一个人的欢喜或悲情,能在另一个人走过的时间里找到映照;一个世界的欢喜或悲情,能在另一个世界走过的时间里寻到轨迹。客观规律从不以人的意志为转移,从往日失落中找出借鉴,成功要尽人力,也要顺天意。

      哲人说:“一个人的幸运在于恰当时间处于恰当的位置。”人生道路崎岖,不管痛惜还是悔恨,生活终究还要继续。向后看,从时间里寻觅真理,收拾好心情,领悟人生,准确定位,用智慧汗水兑换幸福。 source: http://www.lovetian.com/archives/660

    摄影师自杀了

     

    這張照片的名字為「虎視眈眈」。
    一個非洲小孩因疾病和飢餓使得命在旦夕時,旁邊即刻就有一隻禿鷲虎視眈眈盯著小孩,
    禿鷲在耐心等待小孩的生命終結。因為小孩的生命一結束,其屍體立刻就會成為禿鷲的一頓美餐。
    這幅照片獲得了美國新聞界最高獎普利策獎,但是作者凱文卡特受到了人們的指責:
    這位記者為什麼不丟下相機而給那個快餓死的黑孩一壺水、一塊麵包?
    為什麼不救那個孩子於死神的鐮刀與禿鷲的喙爪之下?
    一個孩子生命的價值難道不敵一幅新聞照片或一個新聞獎項?
    這位記者對輿論解釋說,當時非洲該國屍橫遍野,到處都是死亡,
    外界援助不過是杯水車薪,面對災民的死亡誰也束手無策;
    當他懷著沉重的心情離開當地災區,當執行任務的飛機已經發動,
    在他正要登機時,他看到了這幅令人心碎的人間慘象,
    就立即回頭搶拍下來,而後不得不迅速離去。
    但是輿論沒有因為他的解釋而停息,最後這位記者以自己的生命而謝天下:他自殺了。

    飞翔的棒槌

    太阳能黑腊肠

    这个黑色棒槌从形状到用途到使用方式都透着股可疑的气味。
    形状大家已经看到了,不过它是空心的,实际上就是一条黑色口袋。这条大口袋有八米长,材料致密轻便,重仅230克。
    晴朗的日子里,
    带着它去某个开阔的露天场地

    然后拽着袋口奔跑

    空气就会灌进去,袋子就会鼓起来,等这条黑色大腊肠吸足了太阳热量,里面的空气就会变热,热空气就会变轻,轻飘飘的就会上浮,

    于是黑色大腊肠就飞起来了

    接下来你就可以牵着它到处跑——对,没错,这就是一个塑料袋版的大风筝!
    根据常识、推理、逻辑、经验和智慧,它显然不是设计用来载人飞行的。你看,它已经这么古怪了,底下再来一个咋咋呼呼的傻小子空手抓着袋口往高空飘去……那样它会古怪得难以在我们这个球形世界上存在,会造成时空扭曲、地狱大开、啾啾啾啾之类的东西,总而言之,最后你会发现袋子和那个傻小子都消失了,而某处突然出现了一滩肉泥……
    不过说实在的,它提供的浮力大概并不能带动一个成年人升天。

    女人的逻辑

    昨晚临睡前躺在床上看林语堂的《女论语》,结果笑得差点从床上跌下。感叹林语堂的幽默之余,开始琢磨女人的逻辑和思维方式。

    男人喜欢玩逻辑思维,比如,先明确一个概念,然后进行推理,最后下断判。女人却没这么罗嗦,她们往往“抄近道”直奔主题

    比如说,妻子做了一桌子菜,丈夫边吃边唠叨:“真难吃,象猪食(明确概念),炒这种菜的时候不能放酱油,否则破坏了清香,还有,我早就跟你说过,拌凉菜不要放花椒粒,弄得人满嘴发麻,呸,这是米饭还是沙子呀,牙差点咯掉……(罗列事实),你这个笨蛋(结论)。”

    如果是男人,会从“放酱油有理、放花椒粒有理、米饭其实不比沙子硬”等方面反驳,但女人才不会这么笨呢。她会直接说:“你吃不吃?不吃滚一边去,是的,我做的就是猪食,所以你才肥得像猪。”

    嗯,的确,这才是问题的关健:不好吃也没见你少吃一口。所以,男人被噎得翻过若干白眼之后,知趣地选择闭嘴。

    上学的时候,我们学校没人性地实行半军事化管理,周末放假,各系回家的人数有指标,比如一个系给十个指标,分到指标的可以回家,分不到指标的只有望家兴叹,我家在外地,整个周末还不够来回的路程呢(那时是单休日,而且车速也慢),所以我从来没有回家的机会,那些指标只是为家在当地或附近城市的同学准备的。一次周末临近,一女生分得一个指标,乐得直哼哼。

    我问她:“假如现在我花钱买这个指标,你想卖多少钱?”

    她瞅了瞅我,反问:“你买回家指标干嘛?你又回不去。”

    我说:“我只是假设。”

    她说:“不可能存在的事情,你假什么设?”

    我说:“比如说吧,我家在当地,我想买你的指标回家。”

    她说:“你家什么时候搬过来的?”

    我说:“现在还没搬,我是说假设。”

    她说:“没搬你假什么设?”

    我当即气昏,心里大骂遇到了笨蛋。过了多年我才发现,真正的笨蛋是我——这丫头故意跟我回避不好回答的问题。

    女性的理性与男性的理性截然不同,理性在男人来说,往往可以指挥自己的行动,但理性对于女人,往往只是一个游戏,或者飘渺的概念。就像我们形容一个胡闹的孩子:“心里什么都明白,就是作(读一声)。”

    有一年,妻子过生日,我们决定出去吃晚饭,我问妻子:“想吃什么?”

    妻子回答:“我要吃肯德基。”

    我最讨厌那种东西,于是建议说:“别吃肯德基了,咱们换个别的吧。”

    妻子很乖,说:“也行,你说吧,吃啥?”

    我说:“火锅怎么样?”

    妻子说:“不好,不喜欢。”

    我说:“川菜?饺子王?”

    妻子仍旧不喜欢,我提了好多建议,妻子还是一一否决。无奈之下,我说:“你定吧。”

     妻子说:“我要吃肯德基。”

    ?我真要急了:“咱们别那吃垃圾食品啦,都是油炸的,什么滋味也没有,再说了,那里面都是乱吵的孩子,咱俩找个肃静的、雅致点的环境多好啊。”

    妻子说:“嗯,你说的有道理。”

    看她终于改变了态度,我松了一口气,问:“说吧,想吃什么?”

    “肯德基。”

    她的回答令我眼前一阵阵发黑。

    我发现,女人的直觉有时非常准,这一点林语堂先生也承认,“她们要说某人不好,某人便是不好,你要与她分辩是没用的,而事实每每证明她们无理由的直觉是对的。”

    有一次,妻子给我洗衣服,把我的一件新买的白衬衫和深颜色的衣服一起扔进了洗衣机,结果把白衬衣洗花了,妻子发现自己犯了错误以后,把这件衣服塞进阳台的角落里(估计她想有时间再扔出去以毁灭证据)。后来我找这件白衬衫,到处找不到,问妻子,她说没看见,并反咬我一口:“准是你哪天喝酒喝多丢在外边了。”气得我大声反驳:“我喝酒又不是跳脱衣舞,脱衬衫干嘛?”最后衣服没找到,这事儿也就这样不了了之了。

    过了大约一个月,我在阳台里找东西,突然发现了这件被妻子忘记扔掉的衬衫,起初没认出来,拎起来仔细看,当即气得要死。于是怒气冲冲地质问妻子,妻子脸一红,不以为然地说:“嘁!有什么大不了的,不就是一件破衣服嘛。”

    我说:“我不是心疼这件衣服,我说的是这件事儿,染了就染了呗,但你却反咬我一口,这是什么性质?你说你这样做对吗?……”总之,我旁征博引,古今中外地讲了一大堆。

    妻子见我喋喋不休,不再理我,甚至不再看我,当我透明。我更生气了,扳着她的脑袋,强制她看着我,继续质问:“啊,你说,你这是什么性质的行为?”

    妻子被我逼得无奈,说了一句:“瞧你那傻×样!”

    啊——?我的脑袋瞬间空白之后,突然发现这个结论一针见血。可不是嘛,不就是一件破衣服嘛,哪有那么多的性质,什么性质?顶多算是捣蛋或恶作剧罢了。

    最后,我总结说,不要跟女人讲道理,跟女人讲道理没用,这并不是说女人不懂道理,男人把道理拿来“讲”,女人却把道理放在心里。相比之下,真正“懂”道理的,往往是把道理放在心里的女人。

    以前看过一个笑话:女人去水族馆,看到了海豹在水池里游泳,她夸奖道:“多么漂亮的鲸鱼啊!”

    工作人员听了,纠正说:“这不是鲸,是海豹。”

    女人说:“胡扯,这就是鲸。”

    工作人员说:“你看,鲸没有前肢,而海豹有前肢。”

    女人说:“胡扯,这只鲸就有前肢。”

    工作人员说:“鲸的体积要比海豹大得多,鲸不会这么小。”

    女人说:“胡扯,这只鲸长的就小。”

    这时,海豹从水池里爬上了岸,工作人员松了一口气,认为这回能说服女人了: “您瞧,鲸是不上岸的,但海豹上岸。”

    “胡扯,这只鲸就上了岸!”

    有人看了这个笑话之后,认为女人很笨蛋,我却认为:这个工作人员才真是笨蛋呢——他被聪明的女人给耍了。
