4/18/2008 Wow, I really just have to write this - 王千源在美评价（转载）本文转载自nkbbs，原文来源为王千源在美同学blog：

I really just have to write this. Wow. Just wow. While I have physics and a paper to write, I really need to get this out. Grace Wang. She's really something. She's quite useful to the media. Both sides are having a field day. The chinese TV are branding her as this terrible traitor while western media is holding her up as the lone voice of reason. They both are neglecting the truth, what Grace really is, beyond the 9 minute Youtube video and glorious interviews. When I first met her at a dinner, she immediately spilled her life story. I thought, maybe she was being a slightly socially incompetent fob and trying to make friends. I listened. What a good story it was. She told of how she was involved in a political group with some top lawyers in China. They were trying to get the truth out of the Tiananmen square incident. They wrote articles and blogs together on the subject. Then one day, one of her friends involved in the group disappeared. They called her, went to her house, tried everything, but she was no where to be found. Then Grace and her parents start freaking out. Grace's dad, at the time the ex mayor of Qingdao, afraid of Grace facing a similar fate, went to her files in the city government and threw them out. She got a new name, and quickly moved to South Korea. At the time, Grace told us that she already dropped out of her high school in Qingdao because she was unsatisfied by the best high school in Shandong province. She moved to Korea, and there she learned English by watching American films. While she was there, she also slept around with a lot of guys. Then she applied to Harvard and got rejected. The next year, she applies again, to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Duke. She gets accepted to all but Harvard. She chose to come to Duke because she got the Robertson. She then turns down the Robertson because she didn't want the restrictions set by the program. After the story finished, we were all pretty amazed. We were all thinking that this seemingly innocent Chinese student is destined for greatness. After we come back to my room, she proceeds to tell one of us about the guy in the dorm she had sex with. I was quite shocked by this. She seemed so innocent, and we had only been at Duke for less than 5 days. She says the guy was a virgin and now he wants a relationship. We go to the common room, she points him out, and he was playing pool at the other side of the room, totally not paying attention to her. Later on, Grace begins telling us many stories about herself. All she ever talks about is herself.
As the stories piled on, they became inconsistent, and sometimes directly contradicting. People begin question her trustworthiness. Eventually, after months of lies and irrationality, people begin disliking her. For such a trusting and kind dorm like Brown to dislike someone, you really have to be special. And Grace is that special. Now we know she is a liar. She didn't go to Korea or even participate in anything political. She even told people that she wrote her own recommendations for college applications. She made up stories to make herself seem impressive for colleges, and now, the western media. She's overloading by taking around 6 courses. 2-3 of those are foreign language courses. She was angry that the academic dean wouldn't let her do more. Funny thing is, she's definitely not doing well in any of them. I've heard her practice her German, and it is atrocious. She also reads like a maniac. I don't really know what she reads, but it's Chinese literature/philosophy and political theory. She prints hundreds of pages a night to read, parades around with her stack of papers, telling anyone who would listen, trying to impress another person of her political acumen. She shaved off her eyebrows the other day. Because 1: all her boy problems will go away, and 2: pretty girls never make history. She also makes up stories about how people ask to have sex with her or perform sexual acts with her.
Is it me, or is she someone trying to convince herself that she's destined for greatness? It would really take a really long time to really describe all my Grace stories and I don't have time for it. But all I can say is, she has been lifted up by western media as a martyr in this battle for Tibet. And she's drinking in every moment of it, because finally, she is being seen as a hero. What a silly, irrational girl. Oh how could I forget to mention, she wants to be president of China. --------------------------------- 12/22/2007 Time for amusement1. IN THEORY, these are hopeful times in South African politics......the ruling African National Congress (ANC) holds a competitive leadership election next week. It is a dramatic face-off between the incumbent, President Thabo Mbeki (pictured on the right), and an iconoclastic challenger, ex-Vice-President Jacob Zuma (left).
Mr Zuma should have been ruled out on several counts. His dreadful views on sex were revealed during his trial for rape last year. He was acquitted, but claimed that he could tell by the way a woman sat whether she wanted to have sex with him and that his Zulu culture demanded he should oblige her; also that he could avoid contracting HIV by taking a shower. He may soon be charged again with corruption. Mr Mbeki is standing just to stop Mr Zuma. But Mr Mbeki has shown by his own autocratic ways and weird views on AIDS—which he seems to think is not caused by HIV—that he too should no longer be leading the ANC.

2. ON A May evening in 1864, several British politicians were disturbed by a knock at the door and the delivery of a telegram—a most unusual occurrence at such a late hour. Had war broken out? Had the queen been taken ill? They ripped open the envelopes and were surprised to find a message relating not to some national calamity, but to dentistry. Messrs Gabriel, of 27 Harley Street, advised that their dental practice would be open from 10am to 5pm until October. Infuriated, some of the recipients of this unsolicited message wrote to the Times. “I have never had any dealings with Messrs Gabriel,” thundered one of them, “and beg to know by what right do they disturb me by a telegram which is simply the medium of advertisement?” The Times helpfully reprinted the offending telegram, providing its senders with further free publicity.
In 1903 the trade journal Telephony reported an elderly woman's complaints about her niece, who received a phone call from a male friend while dressing. “The two of them stood talking to one another just as if they were entirely dressed and had stopped for a little chat on the street! I tell you this generation is too much for me,” she grumbled.

1/19/2006 冰结之夜5555，今天又下了些 drama 来听，异常痛苦地发现听力又退步了，哭啊~~
看来一阵子政治的折腾，再加上稍微看了点英语的结果，就是日语的听力和单词大退啊~~~
另外，事隔一个月没从bbc上听见（音同）Johnson Wickly 的天籁了，伤心得我快抓狂了，差点以为他被bbc狠心地派去外驻了，心灰意冷。没想到今天竟再次听到！！当时真是热泪盈眶啊，激动之余，差点把背景音乐换成他播的bbc，哈哈。不过在他不在的这段时间，我又发现了一个声音让人心醉的broadcaster：Jim Lee，那叫一个温柔沉稳~~ 不过他俩比起来的区别嘛，只能说，Jim 是攻，偶家小 JW 是小受咯~~ 嗯哈哈，邪恶地偷笑ing~~
不过挣扎了一下，为了避免挨骂，理智战胜了冲动，还是决定把背景音乐换成炎之蜃气楼那首著名的《冰结之夜》。这首歌是风雅直人和冈崎昌幸合唱的，顺序是：冈崎独唱，合唱，风雅独唱，合唱。
下面是我翻译的 氷結の夜 歌词， 请大家欣赏^^
ふるえる闇 吐息 黑暗中颤抖的呼吸 真白い獣 纯白的野兽 冷たい火傷のように 犹如冰冷的灼伤 甘くひび割れた記憶 甜美却残破的记忆 なぜ消せない 为何竟无法消除那些 疑いやめぬ弱さ 无尽的软弱与怀疑 12/5/2005 <時の砂漠>赏析这是现在的本blog的背景歌曲，也是上次的＜君は僕に似ている＞的姊妹篇……
背景介绍：两个一起长大的少年，彼此最要好的童年挚友，阴差阳错地分开，本以为只是短暂的分别……
“阿斯兰……”
“这个，送给你……”（阿斯兰亲手做的会跳会叫的玩具鸟） “不会真的爆发战争的……” “避难之类的虽然也没什么意义……不过，你也很快过来的吧” “是呀，也不是什么大不了的事，虽然不知道会不会有战争，只是现在稍微分开一下而已，别那副表情的，很快就会见面的，然后又可以一起玩了嘛，就像现在一样……” 没想到战争突然爆发，二人从此天各一方，音讯全无……
（阿斯兰独白：3年后的命运，我那时还不知道……）
3年后，对方送给自己的玩具已成为最珍爱的伴侣，无论漂泊何方，一直带在身边，未料到意外的相见，竟是在残酷的战场……被命运戏弄的二人，为了各自已经分道扬镳的理想，也为了身边需要保护的人，在痛苦的矛盾中，被迫向对方举起了枪……
此歌的旋律十分激昂，尤其是高潮部分和“长空中的飞鸟”那一段，非常之悲壮！
時の砂漠
機動戦士ガンダム SEED DESTINY 作词：有坂美香
作曲：梶浦由記 歌：有坂美香 あの日に聴いた言葉、約束のかけら 那天听到的话语，那些约定的碎片
何も知らずに、笑いあえた、 不黯世事，一同欢笑， 甘く遠い日々よ 那些甜美而遥远的岁月啊 あれから二人は旅立ち、 自那以后，开始各自的旅程
時の悪戯に彷徨い 在时间的戏弄中彷徨失措 吹き荒む風の中で 却在凛冽的狂风中 再び巡り会った 意外地再会 音もなく、零れ落ちてる 无声无息便夺眶而出的泪水
涙は尽きて行く 决堤般尽情流淌 時の砂漠を潤してくれるでしょうか 是为我浸润那片时间的沙漠吗 時計の針が静かに、胸の鼓動を刻む 时钟的指针静静带走了心中冲动
違いすぎた二つの道、 截然不同的两条路啊， 月明かりに浮かぶ 浮现在月光中 これまで何度もこの手で 曾说过多少次 要亲手
小さな砂時計を返してば 将这小小的沙漏归还给你 降り頻る雨の中で 到如今却仍然在暴雨中 戸惑い続けてた 继续迷失 空を羽ばたく鳥のように、 若可以，如那长空中振翅的飞鸟，
迷わずにいれたなら 坚定地走下去 春を待つあの花のように、 若可以，像那等待春天的花朵， ただ強くいれたなら 坚强地活下去 音もなく、零れ落ちてる 无声无息便夺眶而出的泪水
涙が尽きて行く 决堤般尽情流淌 時の砂漠を潤してくれるのでしょう 是为我浸润那片时间的沙漠吗 今。。。 现在……
ps：今天收到北外寄来的准考证了，心情很复杂，虽然一直担心地址写得不好会寄丢，但是真正收到了又想临阵脱逃，唉唉……郁闷…… 11/29/2005 《君は僕に似ている》赏析就是现在新换的这首背景歌曲。嗯…… 这 ms 是 seed-D 的 ed3……
虽然是女人唱的，但是从歌名“僕”就可以看出来，是以一个男人的身份叙述的。再看看歌词，很容易就明白过来就是讲 Kira 和 Athlan 这两个说不清是敌是友的少年的，而且是以一个人向另一个倾诉的形式表现的，至于是谁对谁说的，大家自己yy去吧，哈哈……
（还有一首也是讲 Kira & Athlan 的，要更加悲壮一点，更有气魄，叫 時の砂漠，过两天会放上来给大家欣赏^^）
这几首歌都是梶浦由记做的曲，旋律都很不错，欢迎大家配合背景歌对照我翻译的歌词一起欣赏^^
君は僕に似ている
演唱: See-Saw
作词: 石川智晶 作曲: 梶浦由记 编曲: 梶浦由记 君の姿は、僕に似ている 你的身影，与我如此相似 静かに泣いてるように、 如同静静哭泣一般 胸に響く 在胸中回响
何も知らない方が幸せというけど 一无所知也许幸福 僕はきっと満足しないはずだから 但我却一定无法满足 虚ろに横たわる夜でも 即使在躺着发呆的夜里 僕が選んだ今を生きたい、 也想生活在自己选择的现实
それだけ 仅此而已
君の速さは、僕に似ている 你的迅捷，与我有几分相似 空が怖くなって 天空也开始变得恐怖 僕はいつまで頑張ればいいの 我要奋斗到何时才好啊
二人なら終わらせることができる 若能有你一起就能让它结束 どうしても、 无论如何 楽じゃない道を選んでる 我选择了一条艰难的道路
砂にまみれた靴を、 就连满布沙尘的军靴 払うこともなく 也顾不上擦拭
こんな風にしか生きれない 我只能这样生存下去 笑って頷いてくれるだろう君なら 若是你一定会微笑着赞同吧 君に僕から約束しよう 我与你约定 いつか僕に向かって走ってくる時は 当你向我追赶而来时 君の視線を外さずにいよう 我一定会直视你的视线 きっと誰より上手に受け止めるよ 比任何人更好地接受挑战 君の姿は僕に似ている 你的身影与我如此相似 11/22/2005 暁の車最近的感觉就是歌词一定要有力度，整个作品才有力度，居然开始听女人的歌，这对我实在是个新鲜事儿，可是有力的作品终究是无法抗拒的，即使是女人温柔甜美的声线，悲壮的主题仍然悲壮！
这首歌的经典不用我再赘述了，出处：seed第40集片尾背景歌，Orb自爆发射台，Cagalli 紧握和 Kira 二人婴儿时期的合影，与 Kira 和 Athlan 一起紧急逃亡……
其实不仅是歌词的锦上添花，旋律和演唱者的水平本身已十分值得称道！其实大部分人，都是在看到歌词之前就被这首著名的作品深深迷住了。
see-saw 和 梶浦由记 合作的作品
風さそう木蔭に俯せて泣いてる 随风起舞的树荫下俯面而泣 行かないで、どんなに叫んでも 别离我而去！任凭怎样竭力呼喊
優しい手にすがる子供の心を 依靠在温柔臂弯中的孩童之心
哀しみに染まらない白さで 在那未染哀伤的白洁之上
想い出を焼き尽くして進む大地に 燃尽所有记忆前进着
暁の車を見送って 目送拂晓的列车
那个啥……翻译得不好，大家凑合看吧 -__,- 能明白那意思就行了…… ps：现在左边media player 的歌曲就是这首歌，网速还可以，慢的话稍等一下也能听到了^^ 以后会陆续推荐一些歌曲，左边的player会做相应更新，敬请期待^^
Power and Morality大家好，请允许我在此 share 一篇让我痛不欲生的文章，尤其是当你发现这是一篇必须要做的翻译作业时…… 想到你们读它时也会愁眉苦脸的样子，还能给我创伤难愈的心灵一点点安慰……
注：请不要在阅读的愤怒中怀疑在下出现了拼写错误 -__,-
本文选自 World Monitor, author 是 Zbigniew Brzezinski （显然是个俄裔，怎么这么不留笔德，用词用喻都那么bt）, 曾在 the Carter Administration 任国家安全顾问……
The 20th century -- the century of metamyths and of megadeaths -- spawned false notions of total control, derived from arrogant assertions of total righteousness. The religious man of pre-modern times, who accepted reality as God-ordained, had given way to the secular fanatic, increasingly inclined to usurp God in the effort to construct heaven on earth, subordinating not only nature but humanity itself to his own utopian vision.
In the course of the century, this vision was perverted into the most costly exercise of political hubris in mankind's history: the totalitarian attempt to create coercive utopias. All of reality -- on the objective level of social organization and on the subjective level of personal beliefs -- was to be subject to doctrinal control emanating from a single political center. The price paid in human lives for this excess is beyond comprehension.
Adding them all up, somewhere between 167 million and 175 million individual human beings were deliberately extinguished through politically motivated carnage -- the scores of millions of soldiers and civilians killed in the century's wars, the further scores of millions killed in concentration camps, gulags, forced collectivization, ethnic transplantings, and killing fields decreed by self-deified dictators.
The tens of millions that were killed because they were perceived, for racial or social reasons, as unworthy of living within the earthly utopia -- and the many millions more that were coerced into living within these systems -- all testify to the hypnotic appeal of the metamyths of Nazism that postulated the end of history and the attainment of perfection within utopias of total control.
The manifest failure of that endeavor has given way in the West to the current antithesis, which is essentially that of minimal control over personal and collective desires, sexual appetites, and social conduct. But inherent in the almost total rejection of any control is the notion that all values are subjective and relative.
In brief, this century has seen mankind move from experimentation with the coercive utopia of totalitarianism to enjoyment of the permissive cornucopia of today's America.
嗯，就酱紫。
