莎士比亚这首诗，你要是从来没有读过，去找来读一下；你要是从来没有听人朗诵过，一定要点击一下下面这个录像，听一下。你要是听不懂，那就去学习，学到你能听懂为止。 The Incredible Harriet Walter 我觉得 Harriet Walter 的朗诵，属于顶级的了吧。终究是英国诗，还是只有英国人会念。 朗诵人的简介：Dame Harriet Mary Walter is an English actress. She is the receiver of an Olivier Award and nominations for a Tony Award, five Emmy Awards, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. In 2011, Walter was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire forContinueContinue reading “如是我闻”

指名道姓
我们公司刚雇了一个项目经理，名字叫做 “Craig Lose”。每次一路过他的办公桌，看见他的名字，心里就纳闷：“为什么好端端的，非要把自家叫做 “要输”；就不会叫个 “要赢” 吗？”

Dina in the Rain
“Le Baiser” de Niképhoros Lytras (1832-1904) 1 In the evening Dina Papádopoulou came. She wore a simple wrap dress, a pair of barely-there heels, and carried a small foldable umbrella in her hand. Earlier in the day we had talked about going for a walk — to the small shopping area near the college campus,ContinueContinue reading “Dina in the Rain”
They Called Me Sleeping Beauty
1 I woke up groggy and a little confused. I’d heard a chime, followed by what sounded like a recorded voice apologizing for waking me, while a robotic arm gently poked me in the ribs. Still dazed, I sat up on the edge of the bed, hands on my knees. The floor was cool beneathContinueContinue reading “They Called Me Sleeping Beauty”
A Walk Down Eudaemonia Station
“μέχρι τέλους μὴ προσαγορεύειν μακάριον· πρὸς γὰρ τὸ τέλος σκοπεῖν δεῖ τὸν βίον.” “Call no man happy until he is dead; for only then can the story of his life be judged complete.” —Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics 1 About ten years ago, in 2040—back when people said I had been long dead—memories of a conference onContinueContinue reading “A Walk Down Eudaemonia Station”
Everything’s Fine Until You Go to School
The inspiration for this post came from a lab analyst’s comment I recently saw: “Carryover did not meet criteria (28% carryover). Plate was stored in AB-123-4567 to be ran on different system.” Now, this kid’s name is not Wang Xiao Qu or Nikolai Petrov, but your ordinary John J. Smith, native-born, raised on cheeseburgers andContinueContinue reading “Everything’s Fine Until You Go to School”
Drop the Isms, Pick Up the Chopsticks!
1. The Norwegian Professor and the Mushroom Dish One time, a Norwegian professor came to our university to give a talk. Afterward, we took him to lunch. Everyone at the table was handed a copy of the menu and courteously asked to pick a dish of their own liking. Our foreign guest, a big fanContinueContinue reading “Drop the Isms, Pick Up the Chopsticks!”
China. Inc.
Why Compare a Country to a Corporation?Comparing a state to a corporation risks oversimplification, but the intellectual payoff is worth it. Analogies clarify hidden structures. They help people—especially Americans steeped in corporate culture—see governance through familiar eyes. And when you apply this lens to China, something remarkable happens: you realize the world’s most populous countryContinueContinue reading “China. Inc.”

1. 费努伊神父
丽迪亚的博士论文是个我完全不熟悉的题材， 单是题目就有些令人望而生畏：《重估殖民时期法国在昆明的医疗体系的性质和影响》，再加上我是在手机上读，就有些费劲。还好她论文中时不时提及一些和昆明有关的历史轶事，我看着有趣。至于这些轶事的学术意义，我就评论不了啦。
她的草稿中有一章提到一位名叫让·若瑟·费努伊（Jean-Joseph Fenouil）的法国传教士，巴黎外方传教会（M.E.P.）成员……点击文章标题👆阅读全文 ->
