感谢孙先生的祝福和支持 Feb 24, 2015

再有一天就是羊年了，在此辞旧迎新之际，祝愿 David、Rita 两位版主、QHE、Zhoudan、Steve、ysun、jyuan兄、pkchan等论坛同仁羊年吉祥，阖家团圆，扬眉吐气，喜气洋洋，新年新气象!!!

金航：

十分感谢你在百忙之中问候“老同志”！望你紧跟以习近平同志为首的中央领导，把反腐斗争进行到底！让老百姓们都能心情舒畅地过上幸福日子！我们这些退居海外的老家伙们将坚决支持！

祝你全家羊年身体健康、阖家欢乐、万事如意！


很抱歉，春节这几天上网不太方便，回复晚了点！

孙先生的一些话很幽默，富有想象力，我觉得有点意外。我加入咱们中文论坛以来，感觉与各位前辈和论坛同仁很谈得来，而且在与你们的交流中也受益匪浅。所以，在春节前夕问候一下是很自然的事情。

当然，我们论坛上也出现过不和谐的声音。我觉得大家应该抱着理解、谅解、和解的态度在论坛上友好共处，并支持版主的工作。

期待着论坛在新的一年里会有新的景象！

最后，祝孙先生春节愉快，万事顺心，健康长寿！

谢谢你的祝福 Feb 24, 2015

金航：

谢谢你的祝福！想必你春节一定过得很愉快吧？我上面所说的话，有些是开玩笑。不过关于反腐，却是有感而发。每次回国或在电话里与亲戚、朋友、老同学甚至素不相识的旅友交谈时，反腐总是最重要的话题之一。以前，一谈起这个话题，听到的总是些无奈的牢骚和埋怨，但如今老百姓似乎看到了希望。可见，反腐是一件非常顺应民心的事情。通常，我只做科技方面的翻译项目。但近两年来，有些客户也会要我做一些与反腐有关的中译英项目。可见，美国的有关方面也在积极配合中国的反腐。

至于支持版主的工作，那是没得说的。对于历届版主（除个别滥用职权者）的工作，我向来是大力支持的。你与 James Xia 任版主时，都干得不错。这一点，大家是有目共睹的。至于不和谐的声音，我个人认为，只要不是恶意的人身攻击，就都可以理解和谅解。

祝你在新的一年里，万事如意，事业更上一层楼！

我春节期间拜访了一些在北京和郑州等地的亲友，出去玩了几天，感觉挺开心的。

我做版主时，也有不少地方做得不够好。当然，我们也得到了很多同仁的支持，这是应该感谢的。其实，论坛的状况与这里的每个人都有关系，只有大家共同努力，自觉约束自己，才能创造良好的论坛环境，友好的交流氛围。

反腐的确成绩很大，不过也说明了问题的严重性，任重而道远。

也祝孙先生在新年里老骥伏枥，取得更大成就！

Who knew ... Feb 27, 2015

... there's a Texas County in Missouri !

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_County,_Missouri



Texas County is a county located in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Missouri. As of the 2010 census, the population was 26,008.[2] Its county seat is Houston.[3] The county was organized in 1843 as Ashley County, changing its name in 1845 to Texas, after the Republic of Texas.

The 2010 U.S. Census indicates that it is the center of population for the United States.



It wasn't until there's a shooting that made the news that I heard of it.

Funny, funnier, funniest Feb 28, 2015

Throughout the clip all the "trainees" do not follow instructions, and the rules to that effect, which is the hysterical bit.

The obvious are indeed the funniest as the trainees can't see the changes required for them to make. It takes the supervisors to lead by example.

I like the line of the bank clerk: "Thank you, sir!" best. It made my day.

Thanks again, QHE. That was funny indeed. BTW, the robber was played by Steve Lawrence, a frequent guest of the show.

Since it's the 50th anniversary of the film "The Sound of Music", here's an old clip of a performance by Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett. The clip was partially shown at the award show of the 2013 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, when Carol Burnett was that year's recipient. Her old pal Julie Andrews was the last presenter, if I remember right.

想不到 Sound of Music 已有 50 年的悠久历史。最近比较忙错过了奥斯卡颁奖典礼，看过 Steve 、QHE 和 PKChan 的帖子才晓得。 令我想起一次到奥大利专程去了 Salzburg 拍摄这套著名音乐剧电影的地点参观。其中一个场景是在这个音乐喷泉共进晚餐。里面各个美丽景点，至今一直难以忘记。

Salzberg_fountain

在 Salzburg 这个历史名城也看到欧洲十分流行的公众象棋盆，与亚洲的下棋方式比较 （见最下图），欧亚文化之分野，实在莫过于此！

David,

Thanks for the pictures of Salzburg, etc.. Yes, the contrast in culture is evident.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Music




The original Rodgers & Hammerstein Broadway musical actually debuted even way before the film (by about 6 years in 1959). Maria was played by the talented and irrepressible Mary Martin - the one and only who also played the 1st Peter Pan on Broadway …

The Von Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont Mar 2, 2015





I visited the lodge with a couple of coworkers once. It was a weekend excursion while we were on a business trip in Burlington, VT. I should have bought a small memento, like a thimble or such with the image of the family lodge emblazoned on the top of it.
