- Reading "Pride and Prejudice" chapter 1 Reading "Pride and Prejudice" chapter 1 When Truth is coming in a chaise and four showing off its worth, it simply has no compassion for my poor nerve. What is universally acknowledged is not what particularly suits you. Real truth is quick to recognize its true enemies: pride and prejudice. It is not in want of disciples, just in need of falling apples. Truth without a humane face, is the plainest of all: stark truth, naked truth, blatant truth, all have no share of beauty in them. Next time when Truth comes again, pretending to be anything extraordinary, open Jane's book and it can no longer vex you. (2015.2.14)February 17, 201501
Hi I would like to add some films which touch me:
Palestine:
1.Paradise Now (by the same director of Omar) [Youtube]
2.Yadon.Ilaheyya-Divine Intervention (slow-paced, but really absurd) [youtube]
Iran:
1. All films by Abbas Kiarostami, except his recent ones.
2. All films by Asghar Farhadi, especially "About Elly".
Thanks for the films recommended by others here, that would make our life less boring.

Mid-Autumn Festival poem
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival in China (according to the Chinese lunar calender, it is August 15), when the moon is brightest and fullest during the year and families have their reunion dinner, eat mooncakes, and children are allowed to play with various kinds of lanterns till late at night.
For those who cannot reunite with their families, they can still watch the same full moon in different places and think of each other.
Here is a poem I write in Chinese originally:
<August 15>
Day in and day out
of this secular
world
however tired I may be
on this prescribed
night
I have still to summon up my best
strength
to write a reunion chapter
for all
this is the glory of the
moon
or is it because behind my
brightness
hides the ever-encouraging
sun?

美国的海军和西班牙灯塔人 【题目应保留谜底】
我想给大家介绍一个笑话,是由俄罗斯一位著名的讽刺作家而讲写的。,读后我笑到流泪。笑话比较难翻译的,我姑且试试吧,希望大家明白,也会而且喜欢啊。
一个可怕的故事: 【以下请恕不显示修改过程】
这段西班牙人和美国海军的对话,实际发生于西班牙加利西亚的Finisterra海峡航行通道,通过航海无线电第106频率 (“海洋中的极端情况”)记录在案。1997年10月16日。
西班牙人:(背景有干扰声音)... 这是A-853在播报,请马上向南转15度,以免和我们发生碰撞。你们往我们这儿前进, 距离才25海里。
美国人:(背景有干扰声音) 我们建议你们往北转15度,以免和我们发生碰撞。
西班牙人(否定地重申):向南转15度,以免和我们发生碰撞。
美国人(另一个声音):这是美利坚合众国的舰长跟你们说的。你们向北转向15度,以免和我们发生碰撞。
西班牙人:我们认为你们的建议不可能做到,而且不合情理,建议向南转15度,以免和我们发生碰撞。
美国人(大声地):这是Richard Zhames Howard舰长、属于美利坚合众国的舰队的USS LINCOLN航空母舰的总指挥,其全美国舰队最大军舰之中在第二名,与你们说话。另有两艘巡洋舰、6架歼击机、4艘潜艇及无数支援舰。我命令你们往北转15度,否则,我们将会采取必要措施,以便确保船只安全。,请立即从我们航道滚开!
西班牙人:这是Huan Manuel Salas Alcantara. 我们这儿有两个人,另有一只狗、一顿晚饭、两瓶啤酒和一只在睡觉的金丝雀。我们由“Cadena Dial de La Coruna”电台和第106“极端情况” 无线电频道支援。我们哪儿也不打算转向,因为我们位于陆地,这里是Finisterra海峡、西班牙岸的А-853灯塔。我们不知道在西班牙最大的灯塔之中排第几名…你们有权采取必要措施,以便确保你们船只安全,但它必定会撞上岩石,击个粉碎。所以再次恳请你们作出最合理决定,改变航向,往15度以南,以免发生碰撞。
美国人:OK,懂了,谢谢。0 votedJuly 22, 20140
