The dangers of a rising China

seal — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 00:55:00 GMT

China and America are bound to be rivals, but they do not have to be antagonists

Dec 2nd 2010 | from PRINT EDITION

TOWARDS the end of 2003 and early in 2004 China’s most senior leaders put aside the routine of governing 1.3 billion people to spend a couple of afternoons studying the rise of great powers. You can imagine history’s grim inventory of war and destruction being laid out before them as they examined how, from the 15th century, empires and upstarts had often fought for supremacy. And you can imagine them moving on to the real subject of their inquiry: whether China will be able to take its place at the top without anyone resorting to arms.

In many ways China has made efforts to try to reassure an anxious world. It has repeatedly promised that it means only peace. It has spent freely on aid and investment, settled border disputes with its neighbours and rolled up its sleeves in UN peacekeeping forces and international organisations. When North Korea shelled a South Korean island last month China did at least try to create a framework to rein in its neighbour.

But reasonable China sometimes gives way to aggressive China. In March, when the North sank a South Korean warship, killing 46 sailors, China failed to issue any condemnation. A few months later it fell out with Japan over some Chinese fishermen, arrested for ramming Japanese coastguard vessels around some disputed islands—and then it locked up some Japanese businessmen and withheld exports of rare earths vital for Japanese industry. And it has forcefully reasserted its claim to the Spratly and Paracel Islands and to sovereignty over virtually the entire South China Sea.

As the Chinese leaders’ history lesson will have told them, the relationship that determines whether the world is at peace or at war is that between pairs of great powers. Sometimes, as with Britain and America, it goes well. Sometimes, as between Britain and Germany, it does not.

So far, things have gone remarkably well between America and China. While China has devoted itself to economic growth, American security has focused on Islamic terrorism and war in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the two mistrust each other. China sees America as a waning power that will eventually seek to block its own rise. And America worries about how Chinese nationalism, fuelled by rediscovered economic and military might, will express itself (see our special report).

The Peloponnesian pessimists

Pessimists believe China and America are condemned to be rivals. The countries’ visions of the good society are very different. And, as China’s power grows, so will its determination to get its way and to do things in the world. America, by contrast, will inevitably balk at surrendering its pre-eminence.

They are probably right about Chinese ambitions. Yet China need not be an enemy. Unlike the Soviet Union, it is no longer in the business of exporting its ideology. Unlike the 19th-century European powers, it is not looking to amass new colonies. And China and America have a lot in common. Both benefit from globalisation and from open markets where they buy raw materials and sell their exports. Both want a broadly stable world in which nuclear weapons do not spread and rogue states, like Iran and North Korea, have little scope to cause mayhem. Both would lose incalculably from war.

The best way to turn China into an opponent is to treat it as one. The danger is that spats and rows will sour relations between China and America, just as the friendship between Germany and Britain crumbled in the decades before the first world war. It is already happening in defence. Feeling threatened by American naval power, China has been modernising its missiles, submarines, radar, cyber-warfare and anti-satellite weapons. Now America feels on its mettle. Recent Pentagon assessments of China’s military strength warn of the threat to Taiwan and American bases and to aircraft-carriers near the Chinese coast. The US Navy has begun to deploy more forces in the Pacific. Feeling threatened anew, China may respond. Even if neither America nor China intended harm—if they wanted only to ensure their own security—each could nevertheless see the other as a growing threat.

Some would say the solution is for America to turn its back on military rivalry. But a weaker America would lead to chronic insecurity in East Asia and thus threaten the peaceful conduct of trade and commerce on which America’s prosperity depends. America therefore needs to be strong enough to guarantee the seas and protect Taiwan from Chinese attack.

How to take down the Great Wall

History shows that superpowers can coexist peacefully when the rising power believes it can rise unhindered and the incumbent power believes that the way it runs the world is not fundamentally threatened. So a military build-up needs to be accompanied by a build-up of trust.

There are lots of ways to build trust in Asia. One would be to help ensure that disputes and misunderstandings do not get out of hand. China should thus be more open about its military doctrine—about its nuclear posture, its aircraft-carriers and missile programme. Likewise, America and China need rules for disputes including North Korea (see article), Taiwan, space and cyber-warfare. And Asia as a whole needs agreements to help prevent every collision at sea from becoming a trial of strength.

America and China should try to work multilaterally. Instead of today’s confusion of competing venues, Asia needs a single regional security forum, such as the East Asia Summit, where it can do business. Asian countries could also collaborate more in confidence-boosting non-traditional security, such as health, environmental protection, anti-piracy and counter-terrorism, where threats by their nature cross borders.

If America wants to bind China into the rules-based liberal order it promotes, it needs to stick to the rules itself. Every time America breaks them—by, for instance, protectionism—it feeds China’s suspicions and undermines the very order it seeks.

China and America have one advantage over history’s great-power pairings: they saw the 20th century go disastrously wrong. It is up to them to ensure that the 21st is different.

Your Best Career Coach: The Future You

seal — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 01:16:00 GMT

The best coaching you’ll ever get will not come from another person. It will come from inside you.

Take a deep breath. Take a deeper breath. Imagine that you’re 100 years old and you’re getting ready to die. Before you take that last breath, you’re given a wonderful gift: the opportunity to go back in time and talk with the person who is reading this blog post today, to help this younger version of yourself have a better life �?both personally and professionally.

What advice would the wise 100-year-old you �?who finally knows what really mattered in life �?have for the you that is reading this blog post? As you think of the older you, whatever advice comes to mind, just do that.

In terms of performance appraisals, this is the only one that will matter. At the end of the day, the only person that you will need to impress is that old person that will one day look back at you from the mirror. If that old person thinks that you did the right thing, you did. If that old person thinks that you made a mistake, you did. You don’t have to impress anyone else.

Some good friends of mine had the opportunity to ask old people who were facing death what advice they would have for their younger selves. Three themes emerged:

1. Be happy now. Don’t wait for next week, next month or next year. A common regret of old people was, “I got so focused on trying to get what I did not have, I failed to appreciate all that I did have. I had almost everything. I wish that I would’ve taken the time to appreciate it.”

I ‘ve asked thousand of parents around the world to complete this sentence, “When my children grow up, I want them to be…” One world is mentioned more than all of the other words combined �?no matter what country I am in. What is that word? Happy.

Do you want your children to be happy? Do you want your parents to be happy? Do you want the people that love you to be happy? Do you want the people who respect you at work to be happy? Then, you go first. They want you to be happy, too.

2. Build relationships and help people, especially friends and family. When you’re 100 years old and you look around your death bed, no fellow employees will be waving good-bye. You’ll finally realize that your friends and family are the only ones that care. They are the ones that matter.

Of course, building relationships and helping people are also keys to ultimate satisfaction with your professional career. I have asked many retired CEOs an important question about their professional lives, “What were you most proud of?” So far, none have talked about have large their offices were. All they talked about were the people they helped.

The main reason to help people has nothing to do with money, status or promotion. The main reason is simple: the 100-year-old you will be proud of you if you did �?and disappointed in you if you didn’t.

3. If you have a dream, go for it. If you don’t try to achieve your dreams when you are 25, you probably won’t when you are 45, 65 or 85. None of us will achieve all of our dreams. The key question is not, “Did I achieve all of my dreams?” The key question is, “Did I at least try?” Old people almost never regretted the risks they took that failed. They almost always regretted the risks that they failed to take.

No one else can tell you how to find happiness, who to love or where to find meaning. Only you can answer these questions. The best coaching that you will ever receive will not come from any other person, it will come from inside you.

So, what advice would the “old you” have for the you that just read this post? If you don’t mind sharing your thoughts with other readers, I’d love to hear them.

Why It’s Better to Be Underpaid

seal — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 00:57:00 GMT

Culturally, we keep salary information confidential. I’m not just talking about company rules, I’m talking about in our private lives as well. Seriously, how many of your neighbors know how much money you make? (Of course, the first time I met my nosy neighbor she asked me straight out how much money we made. I said, “we do all right.” She then started throwing out dollar figures and asking, “is that right?” She’s not normal though.)

But, what if everyone knew? How would they react?

This is on my mind because the City of Bell, California, just revealed that several city officials were grossly overpaid. Turns out that the city residents were distinctly not happy about it.

City Manager Robert Rizzo, who made $800,000 a year, Police Chief Randy Adams, paid $457,000, and Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia, at $376,288 annually, all resigned last month after a closed session of the city council. As part of the deal, they will not get severance packages, the [Los Angeles] Times said.

As a result of this scandal, the California Attorney General’s office is now requiring cities to disclose salaries in their financial reports.

Now, I know you aren’t paid $800,000 a year. (And if you are, tell me what you do and I’m sure I can learn how to do it. Unless you’re a neurosurgeon or something because I could never even win that stupid Operation game and no one wants me operating on their brain.) And I know that right now you are thinking, “I am NOT overpaid. I am underpaid!”

But what if everyone actually knew your salary? Would your co-workers and direct reports agree that you are underpaid? What about your clients? Would they think, “Gee, she needs a raise,” or, “holy cow, it must be nice to make that much money sitting on your heiny all day”?

You may think that what you want is to be overpaid, but I’m telling you what you really want is to be underpaid. Oh, not underpaid in that sense that your compa-ratio is too low. But, underpaid in the sense that you want your clients, your co-workers and your direct reports to really value your work. Value it so much that if they knew how much you were making they would want to see you get a raise.

Because if these people value your work far above what your paycheck says, then the probability of your boss valuing your work above your paycheck level increases. And a boss that highly values you is a boss that will help you get the developmental opportunities, plum assignments and promotions you want. These will all eventually result in a higher salary. (Although, unfortunately, it’s doubtful that salary will ever reach the astronomical levels found in Bell California.)

If your boss values your work below your salary that makes you a prime candidate for a layoff. Anytime a boss thinks, “Gee, I can get someone else to do this job for a lot less money,” your days are numbered. But, if the boss thinks, “I’d have to pay at least $10,000 more to get someone else to do this job,” you’re much more secure.

Now, if you are one of the few out there that thinks you are overpaid, I have a job for you to do. Work to make yourself underpaid. Work harder and smarter. Learn new things. Mentor new employees. Stop going for the ride. Because, some day, someone in HR is going to mess up and leave a copy of your department’s salaries on the copy machine and your co-workers are going to find out how much money you make. Make sure you’re worth it.

Grab a bite

seal — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 18:14:00 GMT

to grab a bite

grubstake

今天我们先要�l�大家介�l�一个你肯定会经常用的习惯用语。有的时候你可能会非常忙�Q�忙得都没有旉��吃饭。在�q�种情况下，你一定会临时扄��什么东西先填补一下。这在英文里��叫做：to grab a bite�?

To grab a bite要翻成口语很明显��是�Q�先吃点什么，因此和正式吃一��K��有很大不同。下面这个说话的人是刚下班回�Ӟ��正在对他太太说他��Z��么这么饿�Q?

例句-1: Honey, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse! I was so busy at work today. I didn't even have time to run out and grab a bite at that Kentucky Fried Chicken place across the street.

�q�位丈夫��_��亲爱的，我现在饿得都能把一头马吃下厅R��今天在办公室里我可真忙�Q�连跑到寚w��路那个肯德鸡炔R�� 铺子里去买点吃的旉��都没有�?/font>

上班时候没旉��吃饭是被�q�的。可是有些时候，我们往往��Z��玩，也很乐意攑ּ�吃饭的时��_��宁可玩够了再吃。下面就是一个例子：

例句-2: We need to hurry if we want to see the 7:30 movie. Let's just stop off and grab a bite to eat at that hamburger joint near the theater.

�q�个��Q?font color="#000080">要是我们想看七点半那场电(sh��)��q��话，我们得赶快。我们就到电(sh��)影院附近那个卖汉堡包的地方先吃点东西吧�?/font>

******

下面我们要讲的一个俗语是�Q�grubstake。Grub�q�个字可以解释�ؓ食品�Q�但是和stake合在一��L��时候，它的意思就变了。美国�h在开发西部的�? 候，往往要找一些会�l�他们提供食品和工具的�h�Q��他们有能力开创他们的事业。现在，grubstake�q�个字已�l�演变成为开创新的企业所提供的资金或�? �ƾ。我们来举个例子�Q?/p>

例句-3: My husband and I have worked hard to make our new restaurant a success, but most of all I thank my father for giving us the grubstake to open it.

�q�个��Q?font color="#000080">我和我的丈夫�׃��很大力量才��我们新开的饭馆很成功。不�q�，我更感谢我爸��ؓ我们提供了开�q�个�? 馆的资金�?/font>

有这样一个爸爸是很幸�q�的。下面这个�h��没有这�U�运气：

例句-4: I want to quit my job and open a sporting goods shop for myself. But I'm having trouble finding anybody to put up a grubstake to help me get started.

�q�个��Q?font color="#000080">我想辞了我那个工作，自己开一个体育用品店。但是，我找不到人给我一�W�贷�ƾ来开�q�个店�?/font>

What Not to Do: 7 Ways to Ruin Your Resume

seal — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 01:06:00 GMT

In the time it takes you to read this paragraph, the average recruiter will have plowed through six resumes. (We know; we timed one.) Want to increase the chances of your resume making it to the next round? Then don’t do any of these seven things, which recruiters say �?more than anything �?make them want to push the “shred” button.

(For more resume tips, check out our interactive critique of an actual resume.)

1. Apply for a job for which you are not remotely qualified

Many candidates believe the job hunt is a numbers game �?drop enough resumes, and you’re bound to land something. But shotguns are for hunting pheasant, not finding jobs. The reality is that recruiters hate wasting time on resumes from unqualified candidates. Morgan Miller, an executive recruiter at StaffMark, recalls the security guard who applied to be a financial risk manager (maybe Lehman should have hired him), while Scott Ragusa at Winter, Wyman talks of the aerial photographer who sought out a position as a tax specialist.

“Sorting through unqualified resumes is frustrating, unproductive and puts an extra burden on staff,” says Katherine Swift, Senior Account Director at KCSA Strategic Communications in Natick, Mass. “It also makes it much more challenging to find the right candidate.” So the next time you’re thinking of blasting out resumes to all 60 of the job listings on Monster.com that have the word “finance” in them , save your time (and that of the recruiters) and only apply for ones for which you’re qualified.

2. Include a lofty mission statement

More than ever, today’s savage job market is about the company, not the candidate. As such, mission or objective statements �?particularly ones with an applicant’s hopes, dreams, and health insurance aspirations �? will dispatch otherwise fine resumes to the circular file. Employers don’t care about how they can solve your problems �?certainly not before they’ve met you and possibly not even after they’ve hired you. Instead, write an “objectives” statement that explains specifically how your skills and experience will help the company you’re applying to, not the other way around. And be very clear about what kind of job you’re seeking.

3. Use one generic resume for every job listing

To stand out amongst the sea of resumes that recruiters receive, yours must speak to each and every specific position, even recycling some of the language from the job description itself. Make it obvious that you will start solving problems even before you’ve recorded your outgoing voicemail message. Your CV or query letter should include a just touch of industry lingo �?sufficient to prove you know your stuff but not so much that you sound like a robot. And it should speak to individual company issues and industry challenges, with specifics on how you have personally improved customer loyalty, efficiency, and profitability at past jobs, says workplace and performance consultant Jay Forte. Plus, each morsel should be on point.

“Think hard about how to best leverage each piece of information to your job search advantage,” says Wendy Enelow, a career consultant and trainer in Virginia. “Nothing in your resume should be arbitrary, from what you include in your job descriptions and achievement statements, to whether your education or experience comes first [recent grads may want to put education first] to how you format your contact information.”

4. Make recruiters or hiring managers guess how exactly you can help their client

Sourcing experts want to know �?immediately �?what someone can offer, and they won’t spend time noodling someone’s credentials. “Animal, vegetable or mineral? Doctor, lawyer or Indian chief?That’s what I’m wondering every time I open a resume. If it takes me more than a split second to figure this out, I feel frustrated,” says Mary O’Gorman, a veteran recruiter based in Brooklyn.

5. Don’t explain how past experience translates to a new position.

Though candidates should avoid jobs where they have no experience, they absolutely should pursue new areas and positions if they can position their experience effectively. A high school English teacher applying for new jobs, for example, can cite expertise in human resource management, people skills, record keeping, writing, and training, says Anthony Pensabene, a professional writer who works with executives.

“Titles are just semantics; candidates need to relate their ‘actual’ skills and experiences to the job they’re applying for in their resume,” Pensabene says. An applicant who cannot be bothered to identify the parallels between the two likely won’t be bothered with interviews, either.

6. Don’t include a cover letter with your resume

A cover letter should always accompany a resume �?even if it’s going to your best friend. And that doesn’t mean a lazy “I’m _____ and I’m looking for a job in New York; please see my attached resume.” Says Lindsay Olson, a partner at Manhattan’s Paradigm Staffing: “I’d like to know why you are contacting me (a particular position, referral, etc.), a short background about yourself, and a career highlight or two. It’s important to attempt to set yourself apart from the competition.”

7. Be careless with details

Reckless job hunters rarely make for conscientious workers. As such, even promising resumes must abide by age-old dictums: typo-free, proper organization, and no embellishment. Susan Whitcomb, author of Resume Magic: Trade Secrets of a Professional Resume Writer, says that almost 80 percent of HR managers she surveyed said they would dismiss otherwise qualified candidates who break these rules. She tells the story of one would-be employer who, when looking for an assistant, decided not to hire anyone because every resume she received contained typos.

“With a 6-to-1 ratio of jobseekers-to-jobs in the current marketplace, you can’t afford to make mistakes with your resume,” Whitcomb says.

It's my life--Song lyric

seal — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 06:54:00 GMT
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When i shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while i'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while i'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
It's for tommy and gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky got to make your own brakes

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

How To Write An Excellent LinkedIn Recommendation

seal — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 03:02:00 GMT

Recommendations is a pretty powerful thing within LinkedIn. You can’t write your own, and you can’t edit what someone has submitted for you. You can just decided whether you want to show a recommendation or not. Because of this, each recommendation carries some weight.
Issues surrounding Recommendations are too complex for one blog post, so in this post I’ll just focus on writing an excellent recommendation. I’m not covering who to write one for, what to do if you don’t like the recommendation someone submits for you, how to solicit recommendation, etc. Just what makes an excellent one.

Two things come to mind:

First, make sure your recommendation is going to add business or professional value to the recipient. This is not the Facebook Wall, or the MySpace comment area. Recommendations are not “atta boys,” kudos or “happy birthdays.” They are meant to show a professional endorsement for that person.

Second, make sure your recommendation has specific information (and, is not too vague). You can say “Jason is an excellent project manager,” or you can say “Jason showed excellent project management skills by (example a, example b, example c).” The first one is just too vague… becoming cliche. The second one is more credible.

Now, I’ll probably be accused of wanting to flatter myself for posting this, but I just received it and I think it’s an excellent example of how to do a strong recommendation. This is from Patreece Thompson, who participated in a LinkedIn webinar that I did this morning:

“Jason conducted a webinar on LinkedIn that I found extremely valuable. He demonstrated a high degree of expertise and his presentation was clear and immediately actionable. He was sensitive to others that did not have the on-line visual. In addition, his style was open and inviting to questions (and expressed appreciation for them) and willingly gave his time to responding to questions thoroughly. Jason is extremely enthusiastic about his work which is infectious. I certainly would recommend him for any training on this topic.

Notice how powerful this recommendation is… it is much more specific than something like this:

Jason is a great presenter, I really enjoyed what he talked about. I would recommend Jason anytime.

Of course, my example is still positive and flattering, but Patreece’s recommendation has teeth… it has the kind of information and authority that means something.

I expect to see positive things about you in recommendations. Any specific stuff just seals the deal.

Be specific!

Fail to Plan, Plan To Fail: The Importance of Goal Setting

seal — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 01:23:00 GMT

Goal setting is a powerful tool, whether applied to one’s professional life, personal aspirations or health objectives. In fact, goal setting can make the critical difference between success and failure.

One obvious goal of many may be to simply stick to your diet and/or exericse program in the context of a busy, overscheduled daily routine, but effective goal setting goes far beyond this fairly elementary ambition.

While life may seem out of control at times and that you’re a passenger in life rather than the driver, remind yourselg that YOU hold the greatest power of all – that is the ability to design your own life. You can wake up every morning and decide to exercise, lift your own spirit through positive affirmations, and eat a nutritious breakfast, or you can choose other options that may be detrimental to your emotional and/or physical health. Ultimately, the decision is yours and yours alone.

Here are a few tips to make lifetime commitments through goal setting:

1. Don’t compare yourself with anyone except your self. This is not about winning or losing. This is about making your life better – whatever that means for YOU.

2. Focus on the present – How will you feel after your exercise session today? Will your ability to resist that danish fill you with a sense of accomplishment?

3. Imagine the results – literally. How you picture yourself is often a self fulfilling proficy. Day dream in detail about how you would like to look. Athletes picture themselves performing their event over and over again in ther minds until they finally perfect it. If you see your self as soft, sloppy, weak, tired, or stressed, this may very well become yoru reality for just thinking it. Picture yourself standing tall taking deep breaths, confidently striding forward as you approach life head on.

4. Take small steps – they DO count! It’s impossible to stop smoking, start drinking 64 oz of water, and exerising 5 days a week. Start slowly, one attainable goal at a time. Begin with taking a short walk and slowly work your way up.

5. Be patient – it make take weeks before you start noticing you have more energy, your clothes are fitting more loosely and you aren’t getting short of breath walking up a flight of steps. When you do recognize these signs of achievement, revel in the glory.

6. Put holes in your excuses. When you find your self coming up with an excuse not to exercise, go back to the reasons why you want to exericse in the first place. Put a stop to the negative self talk and obstacle formation. Grab that mental sledge hammer and break through!

7. Journal – If you do just one thing related to goal seetting, begin journaling. Tracking your progress can help you stay focused. Write down not only your goals, but what exercises you did, how you are feeling and what small changes you are noticing in your everyday life like, not being short of breath or lifting something with ease, or having less pain. Writing your goals in front of your journal would help you to review them daily.

The Paradox of Our Age

seal — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 01:19:00 GMT
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and lie too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.

We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've done larger things, but not better things; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less; we've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals; more food, but less appeasement; more acquaintances, but fewer friends; more effort, but less success.

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure and less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.

These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one- night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer to quiet to kill. It is a time where there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom.

Indeed it's all true.

3�? 调侃“大�h�?#8221;的词�q�有很多�Q�我最喜欢的山寨用法是VIP�Q�因��Z��士的时候看到日本�R贴个VIP�Q�然后下来一��凸肚的二��d��Q�我们就把VIP叫作 Very Ignorant Person, Very Illiterate Person�Q�反正还有很多，大可以自��q��厅R��剩下比较常用的��是 big gun�Q�big shot�Q�big wig。其中，big gun�q�词不太好，总让我感觉很�_�俗�Q�男同胞(y��u)估计一说就懂，��带让我觉得阿汤哥的成名作Top Gun听�v来也感觉怪怪的。big shot一词则可以译作“耍大�?#8221;�Q�也不是真牛人，是假装牛人。和big shot含义差不多的有big wig, wig的原义是“假发�?#8221;�Q�假发套��大��p��C�官做得��大�Q�自然可以昂着头说话，所以和big shot 暗含着“大嘴�?#8221;的意思差不多�Q�这词也是挖苦�h的，但这词是真牛人和假牛人带着一起骂�Q�算“大规模杀伤性武�?#8221;吧�?/font>
4�? �q�有两个有调侃含义的俚语�Q�big fish 和big wheel。不�q�big fish老给我一�U�矬子里面拔��军的感觉，一池塘的小��D��Q�来个个头稍大点的就是big fish了，�q�种big fish攑ֈ�更大的池塘里也就是小�|�罗了。所以咱们自我感觉良好的时候，不妨认�ؓ自己是big fish。Big wheel��厉宛_��了，�q�个词是在二战后��行��h��的，�?#8220;公司的头��_��政治领袖�Q�有名的博士”�Q�因��些�h动力大，所作所��Z��影响许多人，他们发号施��o�Q? 别�h��得听他们的�Q�就像机器里大轮子带动小轮子一��P��所以美国�h��他们叫大轮子。以我就�ȝ��l�济�p�L��_��个别博士可说得上big fish�Q�但big wheel是以前有�Q�现在没有�?/font>
5、港片中的黑帮片是很多男同胞(y��u)的最爱，那里面最常听到的中文词是“大�{”�Q�据说广东�h好说�q�词�Q�有��Z��验证下。这个词对应的英文是“gangster”�Q�gang的本意是黑帮�Q?font color="black">DiCaprio��L��的卖座媄片纽�U�黑帮，英文名就是Gangs of New York�Q�整个黑帮都听他吆喝的�h自然是大佬。不�q�这词咱们调侃的时候还是小心点�Q�万一�q�入监控�pȝ��的敏感词�Q�被公安找上门可别怨我�?/font>

To Convert Your Sedentary Lifestyle (改变你久坐不动生�z�L��式的14个简单方�?)

seal — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:45:00 GMT

We all know we need to exercise more – our lifestyles are way too sedentary compared to that of the previous generations. It's not all our fault. The days of the 9 to 5 job are long over and despite huge advances in technology, our lives seem to be a lot busier compared than that of previous generations.

Even when I have been motivated to get a gym membership and start exercising, it only lasts for a few months. At the first sign of stress and deadlines at work, the gym routine gets kicked off the list. So here are a few tricks to include some activity in daily habits to take it from a sedentary lifestyle to a mildly active one.

?     Park far away: Instinctively, almost all of us look for a spot as close to our destination as possible. Instead get into the habit of parking a block away, or parking at the farthest parking spot. If you are grocery shopping, park in the store's lot but choose the back row. Clearly you wouldn't want to be caught pushing a shopping cart down the street trying to get to your car.

?     Take the stairs instead of elevators: If it is one or two floors, always take the stairs. If you need to go up/down several floors then take the stairs to two floors above/below and then take the elevator. As you get used to it, increase the number of floors you use the stairs for. If you park in a level parking lot, always park in one of the higher levels and walk down.

?     If possible, walk or bike to work: This is not possible for everyone, but if you live in a place where the pollution is less and your workplace is relatively close by, then choose to walk or bike instead of driving.

?     Skip the stop: If your city has a subway or bus system, skip your stop and get off at the one after (or before) and then walk from there. You'll get to enjoy the air and neighborhood a little while increasing your heart rate.

?    Maximize the benefits from your grocery trip: When you go to the grocery store, make it a habit to walk the entire store. Go through every aisle and every nook and corner. Avoid the aisles that could tempt you to pick up junk food though, since that can completely obliterate any benefits of walking a few extra steps! NOTE: if you have a spending problem don't do this.

?     Take a short walk-break at work: Again this one depends on your work location, but ours is located outside the city and is on large private grounds. Every afternoon a couple of us go for a short walk (~1 mile round trip) which takes roughly 15-20 minutes. It is very invigorating and a nice break from the afternoon routine.

?     Do your own yard work: This is a good one for summer time when the lawn starts to grow and you need to keep it trimmed. Instead of hiring someone to do it for you, do it yourself. You will not only get some exercise, but save some money too!

?     Play with your kids: Kids these days seem to play more video games than outdoor games like we did when we were younger. So take your kids out to the park and throw the ball around, play tag, etc.

?     Put on your favorite music and dance: This is not only exercise, but also a great way to unwind at the end of a busy day. And a good trip down the memory lane for those of us who have not done it in a long time!

?     While watching TV, pace or stretch: Instead of switching channels during the ad break get up and walk about the house. Do some lunges or some simple stretching exercises. If you have stairs in your house, walk up and down the stairs a few times, during each ad break for at least one show every day.

?     Choose to walk down instead of call or email: When you have a question for a colleague, instead of picking up the phone or shooting an email, walk over to their cube. This will not only provide some exercise but a short break for a quick recharge.

?     Walk while you talk on the phone: If your job involves talking on the phone a lot, then instead of doing this sitting at your desk, get into the habit of pacing while you talk. Motion creates emotion so you may even become a better speaker by doing this.

?     Choose active entertainment over passive entertainment: Instead of going for a movie, choose to go play tennis with some friends (or at least bowling). Instead of playing regular video games, play with a Wii . Instead of meeting friends for a cup of coffee, catch up over a sunset walk.

?     Choose active vacations: While planning vacations, pick something that involves some walking and hiking. While taking in a new city, do it by walk, instead of driving around. If golfing, skip the cart. If staying at a resort, make use of their pool and the exercise facility. Try skiing and white water rafting.

While none of these will make an immediate difference in your life style, over a period of time they will get you into the habit of choosing an active alternative to the every day things you do. In the long run, that can set the stage for an even more active life style and could be quite beneficial in avoiding some common health problems.

众所周知�Q�我们需要加强锻炼—比��h��们的前辈�Q�我们的生活方式更惯于久坐。这不全怪我们。每天早9�?的工作时间很长，��管�U�技日益发达�Q�但比�v我们的上一代，我们的生�z�M��乎要忙碌得多�?/font>

      我曾�l�受到鼓舞报名参加了体操训练�Q�但那只�l�持了短短几个月旉��。主要是�׃��工作的压力和期限限制�Q�最�l�把体操训练从我的日志中划掉了。这里我从日�怹�惯中�ȝ��了一些包括活动的��技巧，它能使我们从久坐不动的生�z�L��式中解脱出来�Q��{变�ؓ适度�z�d��的方式�?/font>

      把�R停得�q�一些：处于本能�Q�我们都愿意��L��ȝ��的地��可能近的地方停车。那么不要习惯于把�R停在只有一个街��的地方，而要把它停在更远的地方，或者打在一个更�q�的停�R场。如果你在商��物，那么不要把�R停在商店的区域，而选择停在后排。很明显�Q�你不想被�h看见推着购物车沿街寻找你的�R�?/font>

      爬楼梯而不乘电(sh��)梯：如果在二、三��|��走楼梯好了。如果你需要上、下好几层楼�Q�那么走两层楼梯再乘甉|��。如果你已经习惯了，那么增加爬楼梯的层数�?如果你在一个阶梯停车场停�R�Q�要把�R停在更高的一�U�，然后走着下来�?/font>

      ��可能步行或骑自行�R��M��班：当然不是人皆适宜�Q�但如果你居住的地方没什么污染，你工作的地方相对较近�Q�那么选择步行或骑自行车，而不去驾车�?/font>

       错过车站下�R�Q�如果你的城市有地铁或公交系�l�，那么你要错过你要到的车站�Q�在前一站或其后一站下车，然后从那里走�q�去。当你的心率升高�Ӟ��你要呼吸一下清新的�I�气�Q�欣赏一下社区的风景�?/font>

      在购物过�E�中获得最大的好处�Q�当你去杂货店购物时�Q�要��L��逛遍整个杂货店的习惯。穿�q�每一条走廊，寻遍每一个角落。不要避免走那些引导你走向垃��N��品的走廊�Q�这样可能破坏你多走几步的计划！注意�Q�如果你存在消费问题�Q�可别这栯��么做耶�?/font>

      在工作间隙做一下短暂散步：当然�q�又取决于你的工作场所了，而我们的工作场所坐落在城外，在一个很大的�U��h场地之上。每天下午，我们几个人都要做短暂散步�Q�一里地行程�Q�，大约�?5-20分钟。这非常令�h��清气爽�Q�在下午的工作中做了短暂休息�?

      �q�你院子里的�z�d��Q�在夏季�Q�当草坪开始生长时�Q�这是一�D�好时光�Q�你需要修剪它�Q�不至于让它疯长。与光��人，不如自己亲自�q�Ӏ�这样不仅锻��g��w�体而且节约了钱财，何乐而不为！

       播放你最喜欢的音乐，跌��舞：�q�样不但能得到锻��|��而且能让我们从忙��的日子中得到放松。在记忆中的乡间��\散步旅行�Q�对于长旉��没有光顾�q�里的我们，别有一番风呛_��心头�?/font>

      看电(sh��)视的时候踱�t�步、��伸腰。在看电(sh��)视的间隙与其不停地换频道�Q�还不如站�v来在屋子里走走。如果你的屋子有楼梯�Q�每天至��在一个电(sh��)视剧间隙或广告时��_��上下楼梯几次�?/font>

有时候在 ICQ 上同时和老美和老中用英文聊�? 通常用不了多�? 我很快就能分别出�q�是老美的英文还是老中的英�? ��q��同样是用那些单字, 老美用的英文��是有一�U�特别的味道. 因�ؓ我发觉老美常常�?"换句话说". 整句话的味道��׃��一�? 例如 "me too." 没有��Z��知道�? 但老美不只会用 "me too." 他们�q�会�?"same here." 虽然 same �?here 你我都认�? 但我们就不会�?"same here." 对吧! 其实�q�就是我所说的味道. 大家不要一呛_��去追求艰��q��单字和用�? 反而是要对日常生活中常用到的单字片语要有活用的能力, �q�样你的��语听�v来才会地�? �q�次大家来学学这十句��单的用法, 看看能不能让自己的美语活��h��.

1. Do you have any pet peeve? 你有什么样的怪毛病吗?所谓的 pet peeve ��是个�h生活习惯上的一些小毛病, 例如有些��Z��喜欢别�h��C��的电(sh��)�? 要是你碰他的�?sh��)脑他就会不高�? �q�就是所谓的 pet peeve. (而非 bad habit.) 通常 pet peeve 都是比较无伤大雅的小毛病, 几乎每个人都有属于他自己�?pet peeve. 所以就有老美跟我说过, "Everybody has his pet peeve." 当然 pet peeve 也常常成��美谈话之间彼此开玩笑的话�? 记得 "Friends" 有一集就是两边�h马在比快问快�{? 而其中有一�cȝ��问题��是 pet peeves. 蛮有意思的. 如果是这个坏习惯大到会媄响别�? 像是在公共场所老是讲话很大�? �q�就不是 pet peeve, 而要�? annoying 来�Ş�? 例如我就常听老美抱�? "Don't you think he is annoying?" (你不觉得他很烦吗?)

2. Maybe I'm going out on a limb, but I think we still have to invest it.�? 许这么作有点冒险, 但我��x��们还是要投资�? 一般�h惛_��冒险, 直觉的反应就�? "It's risky" 或是 "It's dangerous." 但是囗语上老美喜欢�? "I'm going out on a limb." 来表�C��件事需要冒�? �q�个 limb 原意是指树枝, 惌��当你爬树时爬到小树枝上去�?你是不是不知��树枝什么时候会断掉? �q�种不确定的危机�? ��是��Z��么老美要用 "Go out on a limb." 来表�C�冒险的原因�? 例如你来��C��个清澈的沌��, 你很想下��L��? 但四周又没有救生�? �q�时你就可以�? "Maybe I'm going out on a limb, but I think I am gonna try it." (我知道这么作有点冒险, 但我�q�是要试试看.)

3. I don't have skeleton in my closet.�? 没有什么不可告人的�U�密. 每次竞选期间一�? 一定会看到候选�h争相证明自己的过��L��清白�? 没有什么不可告人的�U�密. �q�句话在英文里要怎么讲呢? 当然最��单的说法��是, "I don't have any secret in the past." 但是�q�样的说法不如俚语的用法 "I don't have skeleton in my closet" 来得传神. 在这�?skeleton 是指骷髅, �?closet 是指��柜的意�? 各位不难惌��, 一个�h把骷髅藏在自��q��衣柜里作什�? 一定是有不可告人的�U�密. 例如你在高中时考试作弊被抓�? �q�被��C��一个大�q? 但你长大之后�q��g事再也没有�h提过, 所以你也不惛_��人知�? �q��g考试作弊��变成是你的 skeleton in the closet. 有时候我自己也会别出心裁, 把这句话改变一�? 展现一下自��q��q�默�? 例如有次我室友不让我�q�他戉K��, 我就用这句话亏他, "Do you have any skeleton in your room?" (你房里是不是有什么不可告人的�U�密�?) 当然 in your room 是我自己改的, 但在那样的情况下, 却有另一番的味道.

4. Are you sure you are going to set us up? 你确定你要帮我们刉��机会吗?在英文里刉��机会可不是 make a chance �? 虽然�q�是大家最自然会想到的说法. 正确的说法应该用 set up �q�个片语, 例如 set you up ��是帮你刉��机会的意�? 另外, 老美也很喜欢�?fix up �?hook up 来表�C�撮合某�? 例如你有一个妹妚w��得还可以, 你想把她介绍�l�你同学, 你就可以跟你同学�? "Do you like my sister? I can fix you up." (你喜�Ƣ我妹妹�? 我可以撮合你�?)

5. Probably. It's still up in the air. 大概�? 但还不确�? 大家都应该常常有和别人相�U�的�l�验�? 其实和别人相�U�是一件很不容易的事情. 一开始没��x��友觉得没人陪不想出门, 但就��有人陪了却又不知要��d��? 而就��知道要��d��? 又不知道要作什�? 不知道各位有没有�q�样的经�? 你问他我们今天见面要作什�? 他说我也不知�? 到时再看看吧. 其实�q�种情�Ş中外皆然, 各位不必惊讶. 到时候再看看也是老美常说的一句话, ��单的讲法��是, "I haven't decided yet." "I haven't made my mind yet." 或是 "We'll see." ��可以了, 不然的话你也可以��小地卖弄一下英�? "It's up in the air."另外 "It's up in the air." 比较俏皮的翻法就�? "八字�q�没一撇呢!" 例如别�h问你, "Are you dating Jennifer now?" (你跟 Jennifer 开始在�U�会了吗?) 你就可以�{? "It's up in the air." (八字�q�没一撇呢!)

6. Okay. Just checking. 好吧. 我只是随囗问�? 在囗语中我们�怼��? 没什�? 我只是随囗问问而已. �q�个随囗问问在英文里当然你可以讲, "Just asking." 但事实上�? 大多数的老美都会�? "Just checking." Check 当动词用是一般指 "��? 而言, 例如你想�q�来时可能忘了关�? 你就可以�? "Go check if the door is still open." (��查看看门是不是还开着.) 但是老美�? "Just checking." �? �q�个 check 要翻译成 "随囗问问" 会比较通顺一�? �q�句话老美用得很多, 非常值得把它��C��?另外有一�U�情�? 比如说我们说了一些无关痛痒的��事, 别�h也没听楚, 当他再问你刚才说了些什么事, 也许你不惛_��覆述一�? (反正是无关痛�? �q�时你可以说, "Just a though."; "Just an idea." 意思就是我只是随囗说说而已. 不然的话也可以说, "Never mind." (没什么大不了�? 不用操心.)

7. Do we need to hit a shower first? 我们需要先�z�个澡吗?Hit 是一个老美很喜�Ƣ用, 但老中很不会用的动�? hit 指的是去开始作某�g�? 像是在囗语中老美喜欢�? "Let's hit it." 的意�? 例如摇滚乐团的主唱常会看看吉他手, 键盘�? 贝斯手准备好了没, 如果大家都准备好了的�? 他就会大喊一�? "Let's hit it." �q�就代表 "Let's go." 的意�?所以像是去�z��M, 我相信大多数的�h都会�? take a shower. 但你如果学老美�? hit a shower, 那种层次立刻��׃��一�? �c�M��的用法还有像是睡觉老美会说, hit the bed, 上�\会说 hit the road. 都是蛮值得学的用法.

8. That's OK. 不用�?大家�怿��? "That's OK." �?"OK." 指的是完全不同的意思喔. 如果别�h问你要不要先�z�个澡啊? 你答, "That's OK." ��是不要的意�? �{?"OK." 却是要的意�? 像我刚来��国时因��Z��信邪, �l�果每次都耍宝.记得有一�ơ老美来我家作�? 我问�? "Do you need something to drink?" 他说 "That's OK." 我想 "OK." ��是好的意思啊, 当然赶紧把茶水奉�? 老美一脸莫名其妙的表情. 其实我这是错误的�C��. 要记�? 当别��, "That's OK." ��p��C?"I'm fine." 我很�? 你不用操心的意�? �a�下之意就是你不用�ȝ��? 我会照顾我自�? 所以要��C��, "That's OK." 其实有没关系, 无所谓的味道在里�? 所以如果你要明��的拒绝的话, 可以�q�么�? "That's OK. I don't need anything to drink."

9. Just right place, right time. 只不�q�是天时地利而已.大多数的人想到幸�q? 都会直觉反应 lucky. 但其�?lucky 有很多种表示�? 像有一�ơ我问老美怎么�q�到�q�么一个如�׃��玉的��x��? 他回�{�我, "Just right place, right time." 我一听就立刻联想��C��中文里的, "天时地利人和" �q�句�? 没想到英语里��p��么简�? "Right place, right time." ��p��决了. (或许应该再加�?right girl?) 所以我也开始不单说, "I'm just lucky." �? 例如后来有一�ơ老美问我��Z��么我有免费的 T 恤可�? 我就很潇�z�地回答�? "Just right place, right time, no big deal." (只不�q�时间地点刚好对了而已, 没什么大不了�? ) 事后惌��v�? �q�自己都觉得很得�?

10. Same here. 我也�?我想当大家看��C��?"我也�? 的时�? 癑ֈ�之九(ji��)十九(ji��)的�h "me too." 会立刻脱囗而出. 甚至有些��会说, "So do I." 但是说真�? 老美是会�? "me too." �?"So do I." 没错, 但好像太�q�_��了一�? (大概是因��些用法我上国中的时候就知道了吧!)我觉得比较酷一点的讲法应该�? "same here." 它完完全全就�{�于 "me too." 例如上网聊天最后大家常会说, "All right. I have to go to bed now." (好吧, 我该�ȝ��觉了.) �q�时�Ҏ(gu��)��可以回�{? "same here." 表示我也该睡觉了. 或是像老美在彼此自我介�l�时, 通常一个会先说, "Nice to meet you." 另外一个�h��׃��? "me too." 但我也听�q�老美�? "same here." 所以这�?"same here." 是完完全全等�?"me too." �?另外 ditto �q�个用法也流行过好一阵子. 它的意思是, "同上" 当然也就�{�于 "me too" 的意思啦. 例如最有名的例�? 在第六感生死�?(Ghost) �? Demi Moore �?Patrick Swayze 的对�? "I love you." "Ditto."

Is Our Happiness Preordained?

seal — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 06:04:00 GMT

Corbis

Though most of us spend a lifetime pursuing happiness, new research is showing that that goal may be largely out of our control. Two new studies this month add to a growing body of evidence that factors like genes and age may impact our general well-being more than our best day-to-day attempts at joy.

In one study, researchers at the University of Edinburgh suggest that genes account for about 50% of the variation in people's levels of happiness �?the underlying determinant being genetically determined personality traits, like "being sociable, active, stable, hardworking and conscientious," says co-author Timothy Bates. What's more, says Bates, these happiness traits generally come as a package, so that if you have one you're likely to have them all.

Bates and his Edinburgh colleagues drew their conclusions after looking at survey data of 973 pairs of adult twins. They found that, on average, a pair of identical twins shared more personality traits than a pair of non-identical twins. And when asked how happy they were, the identical twin pairs responded much more similarly than other twins, suggesting that both happiness and personality have a strong genetic component. The study, published in Psychological Science, went one step further: it suggested that personality and happiness do not merely coexist, but that in fact innate personality traits cause happiness. Twins who had similar scores in key traits �?extroversion, calmness and conscientiousness, for example �?had similar happiness scores; once those traits were accounted for, however, the similarity in twins' happiness scores disappeared.

Another larger study, released in January ahead of its publication in Social Science & Medicine this month, shows that whatever people's individual happiness levels, we all tend to fall into a larger, cross-cultural and global pattern of joy. According to survey data representing 2 million people in more than 70 countries, happiness typically follows a U-shaped curve: among people in their mid-40s and younger, happiness trends downward with age, then climbs back up among older people. (That shift doesn't necessarily hold for the very old with severe health problems.) Across the world, people in their 40s generally claim to be less happy than those who are younger or older, and the global happiness nadir appears to hit somewhere around 44.

What happens at 44? Lots of things, but none that can be pinned down as the root cause of unhappiness. It's not anxiety from the kids, for starters. Even among the childless, those in midlife reported lower life satisfaction than the young or old, says study co-author Andrew Oswald, an economics professor at the University of Warwick in Britain. Other things that didn't alter the happiness curve: income, marital status or education. "You can adjust for 100 things and it doesn't go away," Oswald says. He and co-author David Blanchflower, an economist at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, also adjusted their results for cohort effects: their data spanned more than 30 years, making them confident that whatever makes people miserable about being middle-aged, it isn't related, say, to being born in the year 1960 and growing up with that generation's particular set of experiences.

At first glance, the new studies may appear at odds with some previous ones, largely because in happiness research, a lot depends on how you ask the question. Oswald and Blanchflower looked at responses to a sweeping, general question: "Taken all together, how would you say things are these days �?would you say that you are very happy, pretty happy or not too happy?" (The wording changes slightly depending on where the survey was conducted, but the question is essentially the same.) In a 2001 study, Susan Charles at University of California, Irvine, measured something slightly different: changes in positive affect, or positive emotions, versus negative affect over more than 25 years. Charles found that positive affect stayed roughly stable through young adulthood and midlife, falling off a little in older age; negative affect, meanwhile, fell consistently with age.

Charles thinks that feelings like angst, disgust and anger may fade because as we get older we learn to care less about what others think of us, or perhaps because we become more adept at avoiding situations we don't like. (The Edinburgh researchers, too, found that older study participants scored lower than younger ones on scales of neuroticism �? worry and nervousness �?and higher on scales of agreeableness.) Oswald chalks up the midlife dip in happiness shown in his study to people "letting go of impossible aspirations" �?first, there's the pain of fading youth and the realization that we may never accomplish all that we had dreamed, then the contentment we gain later in life through acceptance and self-awareness. "When you're young you can't do that," Oswald says.

An oft-cited finding from other happiness research suggests, however, that neither very good events nor very bad events seem to change people's happiness much in the long term. Most people, it seems, revert back to some kind of baseline happiness level within a couple years of even the most devastating events, like the death of a spouse or loss of limbs. Perhaps that kind of stability is due to heredity �? those happiness-inducing personality traits that identical twins have been shown to share.

Still, lack of control doesn't necessarily mean lack of joy. "The research also shows that most people consider themselves happy most of the time," says University of Edinburgh's Bates. "We're wired to be optimistic. Most people think they're happier than most [other] people." And even if you aren't part of that lucky majority, Bates says, there's always that other 50% of overall life satisfaction that, according to his research, is not genetically predetermined. To feel happier, he recommends mimicking the personality traits of those who are: Be social, even if it's only with a few people; set achievable goals and work toward them; and concentrate on putting setbacks and worries in perspective. Don't worry, as the saying goes. Be happy.
