    • 作者认为,今日中国,虽然还保留了奥维尔(George Orwell)《1984年》的若干成分,但它已经更像是赫胥黎(Aldous Huxley)笔下的《美妙的新世界》(Brave New World)。众所周知,《1984年》和《美妙的新世界》都是20世纪出现的反乌托邦、反极权主义的经典名著。但是这两本书所描绘的极权主义却分别属于两种不同的类型。《1984年》里的极权社会主要是建立在无处不在的监视控制和严厉的政治迫害之上的;《美妙的新世界》里的极权主义则主要是建立在满足人的物质欲望和娱乐享受之上的。瓦瑟斯托姆教授认为,从1989年之后,中共认真吸取了东欧共产国家垮台的教训,得出结论,要确保政权稳固,就必须发展更有活力的经济,给民众提供更丰富的物质享受和娱乐。
    • 是的,今日的中共政权在处理国内外许多重大问题时表现得很灵活,故而被黎安友(Andrew Nathan)教授称之为“有弹性的威权主义”(Resilient Authoritarianism)。我要指出的是,中共政权的这种灵活性也是来自六四。六四屠杀彻底消解了中共政权的合法性,促成了中共政权由权力到暴力的转变。

    •   这个场景仅仅是为了表现一开始艾琳娜对于克莉丝汀那的戒备心理,并且说明她俩在一开始的关系是不够融洽的。为之后她们分享她们爱的男人,并且互相获得爱做出的一个对比。剧情需要而已,况且艾琳娜说不好听,克莉丝汀那确很喜欢这语调,你怎么不说因为克莉丝汀那,所以是赞扬中文?

    • 为了刺激内需,中国国务院1月14日通过汽车产业调整振兴规划,同时下调低排量车辆购置税;对农民报废过时汽车并购买低排量的微型客车,给予一次性财政补贴。

    • 继财政部长盖特纳直言奥巴马认为中国确实操纵货币后,美国国务卿希拉里也表态,需要与中国进行更全面的对话,而不是将布什政府开启的战略对话演变成仅限于经济层面的对话。
    • 对今日中国来说,汇率问题虽棘手但尚有回旋余地,更迫切的是如何在经济增长骤减的情形下,缓解失业的压力,这才是切肤之痛的问题。

    • Digital Nomads is a future way of life based on Nomadism and Sharism. No matter where you are and what circumstances you are in, you are free to link up with the world. When you share, someone from afar would respond. When you listen, there will be the best information transmit. It is as if you are participating in collaborative thinking at a higher level of the social brain. Hence physical location is only a parameter and traditional boundaries will render as irrelevant. Everyone will be able to maximize themselves in this new way of life, and life will be worry-free.

    • What information is available about you in cyberspace? Where does it come from? What risks does it present and what, if anything, can you do to protect yourself? To answer those questions I decided to use my own identity, Robert L. Mitchell, a national correspondent at Computerworld, as my research subject.
    • Having a common name like Robert Mitchell -- or a famous one like Bill Gates -- makes the job a lot harder. While nuggets of information about you can be pulled up quickly, filtering out all of the data that is not actually about you and sorting out what is accurate is time-consuming. It requires a lot of digging.

      and type two diabetes is substantially reduced through regular physical activity. Unfortunately, many people feel they simply don’t have the time to follow current exercise guidelines. What we have found is that doing a few intense muscle exercises, each lasting only about 30 seconds, dramatically improves your metabolism in just two weeks."

    • Tang, a pigtailed, 30-something cosmetology major, had never considered herself the activist type. Like many other Chinese citizens, she kept a blog where she wrote about current events and her life, but she wasn't political.
    • "This is the first time that anyone other than the Communist Party has put in written form in a public document a political vision for China," said Xiao Qiang, an adjunct professor of journalism at the University of California at Berkeley, a human rights activist and director of the China Internet Project, which monitors conversation on China's vast network of electronic bulletin-board systems, blogs and Web sites. "It's dangerous to be associated with dissidents, so in the past, other, ordinary people have not signed such documents. But this time it is different. It has become a citizens' movement."
    • On Jan. 13, a group of more than 20 Chinese intellectuals signed an open letter calling for a boycott of state television news programs because of what they said is systematic bias and brainwashing, and separately, a Beijing newspaper ran a commentary that argued that freedom of speech is written into the constitution and that the authorities cannot solely decide whether something is "absurd versus not, or progressive versus reactionary."

    • Toxoplasma, a common parasite of humans, is found in the brains of approximately 30 percent of the population. Yet, because the brain lacks its own lymphatic system for localized immune response and the blood brain barrier limits antibody entry, researchers have found it provides unique challenges for the immune system to control local infection. Therefore, little is known about the processes by which T cells access the central nervous system during toxoplasma infection or how the immune system keeps this parasite in check.

    • The female condom allows women to take the lead in protecting themselves from HIV infection. In short - they don't have to rely on their male partner to take the responsibility. This has the potential to be a lifesaver.
    • The FC2 would be roughly 30 percent cheaper than its first generation predecessor, which sells for $1.15 to $2.75 in the U.S. and about 80 cents in other parts of the world. But that might still be a barrier, because male condoms are significantly less expensive. According to a 2007 report by the United Nations Population Fund, the female condom "has not yet achieved its full potential due to inadequate promotional activities, insufficient supply and comparatively higher cost than male condoms."

    • 全球性金融危机生,欧美经济由于关联度甚高,遭受重挫,“西方不亮”,目前确是事实。但这些并不能证明中国经济“独善其身”高枕无忧,恰恰相反,中国外向型企业、东部沿海地区已受重创。经济遭受冲击的程度高低,并不完全意味着制度的优劣。
    • 奥巴马总统的就职演说也专门提到了这一点。而中国一些媒体盲目乐观,太过浅薄。“东方亮”这样的论调出笼,可以看出在全球化背景下一些惯性思维仍发生作用,一是报喜不报忧的套路;二是“二元对立”的思维惯性在起作用,非白即黑,认为“西方”不好时则“东方”就肯定会“亮”;三是不认真调查研究,而是表面化、浅薄化地反映,甚至是扭曲反映。

    • “我觉得,在现代这个世界,特别是中国考虑它在世界上的孤立,特别是在意识形态上和其他国家有一种潜在的对立,让他放弃也是不太可能的。如果中国是一个民主国家的话,我觉得会更加放松一点,也就是把话说得更明白一点,或者更积极地推动世界的无核发展。另外还有一个朝鲜问题。朝鲜半岛,实际上金日成、金正日发展核武导致了这个地区的紧张局势,而且对中国的国家利益造成了巨大的冲击。这个问题还没有解决。从朝鲜发展核武来看,最大的受害者实际上是北京。因为这个周边地区核武发展起来的话,那谁的敌人多?恐怖分子可能攻击谁?大家都非常清楚。所以说中共在这个问题上,在反核扩散,特别是在朝鲜的问题上,不是特别明显、用力推动,这实际上对中国在地区的影响力和整个国家战略都是不利的。”

    • 该报驻上海记者发回报道指出:作为“世界工厂”的中国,在世界经济萧条的大背景下,其经济承受比原先估计还要大的压力。根据22日公布的中国2008经济统计报告,中国国家统计局表示,受全球金融危机连累,中国去年最后一季度的增长率仅有百分之6,8,第二度连续性下滑。经济专家认为,中国今年第一季度的情况也不会好转。该篇文章分析,中国经济增长减弱,相当大的程度受累于出口大幅降低。西方国家的经济停滞不前,自然大量减少对中国产品的订单。例如去年12月份做的全年外贸统计,中国出口下降了百分之2,8。由此连带的严重后果,即是中国工业生产减产,造成大量的失业人口。文章最后写道,因此,去年11月时,中国总理温家宝推出为期两年的振兴经济计划,也就是到2010年,中国政府将准备4万亿元人民币投资到经济领域,并从中拿出8千5百亿作为创立国民健康保险的准备金。所以,中国今年经济的重点,当然还是要保证高速度的发展,因为中国需要健康的经济体制来保障社会稳定。
