让“快餐”变“正餐”

　　这些年，“文化快餐”从兴起、发展、热炒走到了现在处在被贬低的境况，可以说是大众对“文化正餐”的需求提升的结果，但也有一部分原因是那千篇一律的“品读”“心得”的形式已经让人们厌烦了。
　　我在豆瓣了查看的结果如下：
　　《于丹论语心得》
　　　五星 419
　　　四星 732
　　　三星 681
　　　二星 180
　　　一星 179
　　而同样可以算是一本“文化快餐”的书，挪威的乔斯坦·贾德的《苏菲的世界》在豆瓣获得的评价是：
　　　五星 3459
　　　四星 3412
　　　三星 1495
　　　二星 110
　　　一星 20
（以上数据统计于2008年11月29日午）

　　这个数据，不用我说什么，是个人都看得出区别。
　　现在，翻开于丹的《论语心得》，不难发现，于丹在书中是以一个演讲者的姿态在向读者传播她的理念（当然，这也是受百家讲坛节目形式的限制）。而看《苏菲的世界》，它是通过一个有点悬疑的故事将哲学史缓缓展开，从米雷特斯自然派哲学家到宇宙大爆炸理论。
　　细读《苏菲的世界》，其实，作为一本讲哲学史的书，大段的论述当然也是必不可少的，但作者却巧妙地塑造了艾伯特这个哲学教师的角色，以及苏菲这个十四岁的学生。这样一来，艾伯特的讲学不是自说自话，其间穿插着他和苏菲的小互动。比如他会让苏菲说说自己的经历，或者让她按照某个哲学家的理论来想想人生，苏菲也会时不时地提出一些问题。这看似是书中任务的对话，其实已成了作者与读者的交流。于是，就算是讲到一些有点费解的理论，文章也不显得冗长了。
　　更绝的是，作者将苏菲设定为书中另一人物——席德的父亲所写的书中的人物。在书中的席德可怜着苏菲（她被席德的父亲戏弄得都迷糊了）的时候，我们看着同样是书中人物的席德，自然会开始抱着一种怀疑的态度来审视我们的世界。而这正是几千年来的哲学家不断思考的问题，我们也由一个哲学史的学习者转变成了一个思考者。
　　这正是《苏菲的世界》作为一本“文化快餐”与众不同的地方。作者并不是要将哲学史嚼烂了喂给读者，而是带领读者走近哲学，思考哲学。
　　我想，经过了这一步，“文化快餐”对于读者来说可算是转型成“文化正餐”了。
　　所以，现在市面上那些漫天飞舞的《XXX说XX》之类的书可休矣，至少，尝试着换一种形式再来吧。


　　这个，不是一般的读后感了，只是读完《苏菲的世界》后联想到的一些事。

'Naked' Short Selling Gets a Close Eye(1/2)

密切关注“无卷买卖”
The Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States recently moved to protect nineteen major financial stocks. The agency gave an emergency order to restrict what is known as "naked" short selling of those stocks. This is a form of stock trading that is being blamed for sharp drops in the price of some financial stocks.
美国证券交易委员会近日采取行动以维持19家主要金融公司的股价。该机构发布了一项紧急措施以限制对这些股票进行所谓的“无卷买卖”。“无卷买卖”是导致一些金融股价格暴跌的原因。
Short selling is a way to make money when a stock price falls. It involves borrowing shares of stock and then selling them in the hope that the stock will lose value. Later, the shares are purchased back and the loan is settled.
卖空是一种在股价下跌时赚钱的方法。即，借入证券，当预期股价将会下跌时再卖出借入的证券，最后，再买回证券并且归还之前借入的证券。
If the stock has lost value, the selling price will be greater than the purchase price. The difference is profit for the investor. If the stock price rises, the investor loses money. Short selling is considered a necessary part of an efficiently operating market.
如果股市下跌，卖价将高于购买的价格。差额就是投资者的收益。如果股价上涨，投资者将赔钱。卖空被认为是有效操纵市场的必须部分之一。
With naked short selling, however, trading takes place with shares that have not yet been borrowed -- and may never be. Naked shorting lets traders short sell large amounts of stock that may not be available to borrow in the market. Sometimes, lenders of securities tell several short sellers that they can borrow the same shares.
但是，“无卷卖空”交易可能在证券还没借入，甚至永远不借入的情况下发生。“无卷卖空”使交易者可以短期内买入大量也许不会被借入市场的证券。有时，借出证券者告诉许多“卖空”投资者他们可以借到相同的证券。

Note:
卖空 [Shorting,Short selling]
定义：预期某只证券价格会下跌，通过先卖出借入的证券，待该证券价格下跌后再买回同时归还之前借入证券的盈利模式。
例如，投资者认为某只目前价格为10元的股票被严重高估，价格将跌倒5元，投资者就可以从券商先借入一定数量的该只股票并立刻卖出，拿到每股10元的现金，等到该股如预期跌到5元时再用手中一半的现金买回同等数量的股票归还给券商，剩下的5元现金（不考虑交易成本和支付给券商的利息）就是盈利。卖空策略使得投资者在看空时也可以盈利，有利于股票合理价格的形成。但卖空是一项相对复杂的技巧，而且风险巨大，如果股价不跌反涨，会产生巨额亏损。此外，卖空还要受到一些制度安排上的限制，如必须在约定时间内归还股票，即便股价会下跌，但如果是在还股期限之后，投资者也会遭受损失。目前A股还没有卖空制度，但随着券商融券业务的开展，这种每个成熟市场都存在的交易制度也会在国内出现。

GOSSIP:
不懂不懂，好多不懂啊~听得晕晕乎乎，连看中文我都不懂。问了老爸才终于明白这种股票买卖的方式。

Schools Look to Save Money With Four-Day Week(2/2)

DICTATION:

But is … he sees other benefits , too. Students get more instructional time, and the activities that used to interfuel interfere with classes are now held on none school non-school days. He says that in the future, the groups growth of online classes could make it possible to require even fewer days in school. High fuel prices are driving college students to take more online classes. And in some states, high school students can take them, too. A four-day-school week sounds like a good great idea for students and teachers. But working parents may have to pay for child care for that fifth day. In agriculture areas, though, it can mean an extra day of helping on the family range ranch. In the New Mexico, the first school district changed to a four-day-week in 1974, because of the Arab oil cut boycott. Now, 17 out of 89 districts use it. But auther Lake Arthur School Districts has just 160 students. Lake Arthur used a four-day schedule for 12 years, but a few years ago, it went back to five days. Michael Grossman heats heads the district, he says two studies there fail to show any real educationally improvement using the four-day-week. And he says not much instruction was taking place during the last hours of school, because teachers and students were too tired.

但他也看到了其它的有益之处。学生会得到更多的上课时间，并且一些曾干扰教学的活动目前将在课外举行。他表示，将来，网络学习的发展有可能使得必须在校学习的时间变得更少。居高不下的燃油价格正促使大学生们更多地利用网络来上课，并且在有些州，高中学生也能够采用这种学习方式。一周四日作息制看起来对学生和老师来说都是个不错的主意，但对在职的父母来说则不得不为孩子的第五天看护而支付费用。但在农村地区，这个作息制则可能意味孩子对家里的农场有了额外的帮忙时间。在新墨西哥州，因为阿拉伯石油抵制，于1974年一学区首次将作息制改为一周四天。日前，89个学区中有17个学区采用了该方法。Lake Arthur学区只有160名学生，它实施四日作息制有12个年。但前几年，它又改回了五日作息制。Michael Grossman是该学区的负责人。他指出，两项研究都表明使用四日作息制未能使得教学有任何实质性的改进，并且在学校的最后个把小时，并不会有太多的教学内容，因为老师和学生都太累了。

DICTATION:

As we said last week, American schools are looking for ways to save money on bus transportation because of high fuel prices. More children may have to walk, ride their bikes or find other ways to get to school. But, as another reflacted effect of the high prices, they may not have to go to school as often. Some schools, especially in the rural areas, are changing to a four-day-week. That means longer days instead of the traditional Monday through Friday schedule. Beginning in the fall, students in the Maccray school district in Minnesota will be in school Turthday Tuesday through Friday. Each school day will be 65 minutes longer. Superintendent Greg Schmidt says the district excepts to save about 65 thousand dollars a year in transportation costs. The district texted has about 7 hundred students living in an area of 9 hundred squire square kilometers. State officials have proved approved the plan for three years. They may change their mind before then if learning suffers. In Custer, sufft coder South Dakota, students have then been going to school Monday through Tthirday Thursday since 1995. Super intenden Superintendent Tim Creal says the change has saved at least estimated one million dollars over just the past eight years.

接着我们上周的话题，由于高油价美国学校正在想办法节省校车运输的成本。更多的孩子只能步行，骑自行车或者通过其它方式去上学。但是，高油价的另一个影响，就是他们可能不能经常去学校了。一些学校，尤其是些乡村地区的学校正在改制为4日制。这就意味着更长的教学日取代了传统的周一到周五的时间表。从这个秋天开始，Maccray学校的明尼苏达学区将执行周二到周五的在校制度。每一个教学日的时间将延长65分钟。学校管理者Greg Schmidt说学区预期每年能省下大约6万五千美元的运输费用。这个学区有大约七百名学生住在900平方公里内的地区。国家官员用了三年时间来审核。如果学会了承受，那么在那之前他们可能会改变主意。在卡斯特，南达科塔，学生从1995年起就是周一到周四去学校。管理者Tim Cread说，在过去的近8年中，估计这项改变节省了一百万美。

They also included Russian president Boris Yeltsin and the Shah of Iran. Doctor DeBekey died July eleventh in Houston, Texas, two months’ short of his 100^th birthday. As a medical student in1931, he invented the roller pump. Years later, it would be used for blood transfusion during heart operations. The roller pump …, it came became a major part of the heart-lung machine. The machine pumps oxygen-rich blood to brain and other organs, so doctors can operate on heart. Michael DeBakey was a pioneer of open heart surgery, which has saved conutness countless lives. The name means that the chest is open and surgery is performed on the heart. Doctors may or may not open the heart itself as well. Michael DeBakey was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, on September seventh, 1908. His parents were Lebanese immigrants.

High Fuel Prices Mean a Hard Road for School Buses (2/2)

DICTATION:

Most states require bus transportation though through high school for public school students
who need it. Massachusetts requires it only for elementary school. And schools can charge to ride the bus. State education officials say the some districts may began begin to do that, or raise existing fears fees. Studyies show that school buses are the saves safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says that cuts in school bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says the moving removing buses from the road will mean that an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Sportsman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus service might reduce attendance. But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that will truly would surely make people healthy happy and at the National Center happy to save for Safe Routes to schools. More kids walking and biking safely to school is the aim of the a three-year-old federal movement program, part of an international movement. The scold goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day. Next week, we’ll talk about other ways that schools and students are reacting to the prices.

High Fuel Prices Mean a Hard Road for School Buses (1/2)

DICTATION:

High fuel prices are affecting all areas of lives. Including education. The unite states has an estimated 4 hundred 75 thousand school buses. Each day, they carry more than 25 million children have half of all school children in the country. But this these buses on averange average use 4 liters of diesel fuel to travel less in 16 kilometers.When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled to a dollar and 8 cents by the end of the school in June. Bob speaks for the American school bus Council, an industry coalition. He says fuel prices negotiated for school are not much lower then others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking ways to reduce the transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or in some cases canceled. Some areas are buying buses that use nature gas or other alternative fuels. And a few places are investigating hybrid fuel electric technology. Other steps include fewer field trip and less travel by sports teams, and some school districts may end any buses service not required by law.

花未眠

　　三月。刮春风。打春雷。
　　雨细细地静静地下，一片清新与滋润。
　　向日葵的种子在土里做着开花的梦。

　　两天后，发芽了。
　　子叶出土，随后，长出了第一片真叶。
　　梦想沿着它的路继续。
　　潮湿的春天渐渐走向尾声，越来越热了。这样的温度，是向日葵最喜欢的。茎叶长得令人惊叹。

　　十多天过去了，该追肥了。
　　草木灰里的钾对根和茎最好。配成稀溶液，每天喷上一些，他们继续疯长着。
　　夏天的手指开始尝试着伸过来，并渐渐大胆起来。没几天，他就亲密地贴上了身。

　　又是十天 ，最忙的日子就来了。
　　红蜘蛛开始出现在向日葵的叶子上。这下，所有人都行动起来了。
　　阿维菌素这样的农药用上了。还去附近吸烟的老人那儿要来了旱烟叶，熬水灌根。又听说酒精也有用，便也擦了擦。
　　最后，不知是哪种方法起效了，反正红蜘蛛是消灭了。
　　向日葵捋捋他的枝叶，枝干更加挺拔了。

　　五月了。
　　夏天真的来了。同时，台风也来了。
　　一阵急风暴雨过后，有的向日葵倒了。心痛，却别无他法。第二日，出去一看，他有自己站起来了。
　　兴奋过后，发现花苞在枝的顶端出现了。嫩绿绿、毛茸茸的。
　　仔细看，一层，两层，三层，花的萼片是对生的。看起来就像——一个绿色的小太阳。
　　随着时间的推移，“小太阳”慢慢长大了。

　　再五天，苞片的颜色露出来了，黄绿色的。但还是向内卷曲着，包裹着花盘。
　　巨大的花盘让向日葵的头低下，但他真的跟着太阳转呢。
　　这时的他们，已经足够强健。无论几级台风来，他们都不在乎。在风中做操，在雨中舞蹈，然后长得比谁都高。
　　的确，他们已经比我高了。

　　十来天的花期很快就过了。
　　开花，就是为了结果。瓜子是果实，不是种子。
　　花苞都掉了，瓜子们密密地挤着，变成了棕色。花盘直径十五厘米多。
　　很多人认为向日葵比多数花大得多。其实才不是那回事。一个大花盘的总状花序上有成千上万的小花。
　　开花的梦想转化成结果的成就延续着。
　　等瓜子被收了之后，向日葵就直挺挺地干枯了。



　　模仿汪曾祺《葡萄月令》写的，说模仿，其实完全是套用了。

关于《千里之外》

　　周杰伦说自己的每一张专辑都要有一首中国风的歌，《依然范特西》便有了这首《千里之外》。所谓“中国风”不仅仅体现在了歌曲旋律及伴奏乐器上，或者拉来费玉清合唱，更是歌词透出的古典韵味。“沧海”、“燕”、“琴声”、“芙蓉”、“船影”，无一不透露出雅致。但这雅致却是在讲述一个自古传唱不休的离别的故事。或许得不到才是最美。
　　歌曲中的我对你的爱深切真挚，我为你将这歌吟唱了一遍又一遍，我反反复复地问“是谁在窗台”、“你是否还在”、“琴声何来”，可你始终沉默。
　　歌曲中的你对于我如梦一般，散不开的浓雾让我们听不见，也看不清彼此，却又能感受到你——那琉璃白的身影。色彩瑰丽的琉璃，我只取白来形容你。当逝去的时光让周遭的背景一片黑暗时，你依旧纯洁无暇。
　　这便是我送你离开千里之外后，你给我留下的无声与黑白。

读《秋歌——给暖暖》

　　全诗围绕着离去与留下展开叙写：落叶颤抖着离去，荻花消失，砧声远了，雁子们也走了。秋天，正如作者所说“什么也没留下”，即便有，也只是踏残的落花、破碎的琴韵。然而，秋天却留下了暖暖，从第一节就被提到的暖暖。“暖”本是个形容词，在此作为名词却让人有了一丝温存，在那清凉之秋。
　　读完全诗，有一种绘画之美和音乐之美。作者所使用意象颇具古典韵味，涂抹出一幅淡远的秋景。而“暖暖”，既作为诗的主题，反复吟唱下更有如乐曲中慢板的轻缓、悠扬。
