Riot police in Thailand have stormed the compound around the Prime Minister's office and clashed with anti-government protestors who have taken over the building on Tuesday. The Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej has demanded that the protestors are removed by the end of the day. They accused Mr. Samak of being a proxy for the former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. From Bangkok, here's Jonathan Head.

After a day in which tens of thousands of protestors had the area around Government House to themselves, the security forces have now fought back. However until now, they have been unable to remove the protestors who vow to stay until Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej steps down. Thai society is still deeply split between those who will never trust the administration run by allies of Thaksin Shinawatra and those who voted in such large numbers for him and for his party.

That's word from Jonathan Head in Bangkok. World News from the BBC.

2) compound: 场地, 院子 (总是忘了它的这个意思...囧)
3) Government House: 政府办公大楼

泰国防暴警察冲进了总理府一带, 并与反政府的示威者发生了冲突. 这些示威者在周二的时候占领了总理官邸. 泰国总理 Samak Sundaravej 要求在今天结束之前清理出这些示威者. Samak Sundaravej 遭到示威者指责, 认为他是前总理 Thaksin Shinawatra 的傀儡. Jonathan Head 从曼谷发回的报道.

在成千上万的示威者占领了政府办公大楼那片地区后的第二天, 安全武装部队现在已经开始了反击. 不过到目前为止, 他们还未能将这些示威者清除出去. 示威者誓要等到总理 Samak Sundaravej 下台后才离开. 整个泰国社会至今仍分成了两派: 一派是绝不信任由 Thaksin Shinawatra 的盟友建立的政府, 另一派则极力支持 Thaksin 及其党派.

以上是 Jonathan Head 在曼谷发回的报道. BBC 国际新闻.

North Korea has rejected an offer by the South Korean President Lee Myung-bak to resume the reconciliation talks he's suspended in February. The North's state newspaper said Mr. Lee was trying to avoid his personal responsibility for the countries' strained relations. Mr. Lee was criticized in the South for offering to restart the talks just hours after a South Korean tourist was shot dead by a North Korean soldier on Friday.

Britain says it will push the European Union to impose tough new sanctions on the Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe and other top officials of his government.

电影看过之后已经很久了，却迟迟没能写下当时的感想，一方面是因为自己比较懒，另一方面则是因为电影的题材比较边缘（算是吧）。

话说看到《蝴蝶》其实很偶然（呃...又好像不是的捏...）

无意中搜到了一部关于女女题材的电视剧——《The L Word》（至今仍觉得第一季是很经典的），感觉是个很神奇的世界呐，正好自己也不排斥，便down下来看了一下（怎么就有这么强的好奇心啊。。。囧）

接着就是一口气，顺带着就把这类题材的 电影、电视，反正是能找来的都找来看了一把，其中就包括《蝴蝶》，也有那部《断背山》。。。还有一些俺觉得不错的就是《蓝宇》，《面子》。。

现在想来，那时实在是有点疯狂的，嘿嘿～～～

呃。。。貌似跑题了。。。好了，步入正题吧。。。

电影拍的暧昧而深沉，从光线，色调到剧情；那种女女之间的情感是细腻而真诚的，看上去也是很美好的。现实与回忆。。。这两条线交互进行，又随着剧情的推动逐渐靠拢。

讨厌的地方就是插入了强烈的政治背景，花了不算少的篇幅去描述那段（哔——）历史。俺愚钝。。。怎么也想不明白如此强调这个时代背景，和电影的主题到底有什么联系呢？

不但乏味， 而且使得整个电影的结构看上去零散了一点。（现在重新思考了一下，莫不是因为思潮解放。。。囧）

嗯～总体说来，还是一部温馨暖人的电影。

整个电影看下来，印象很深刻的一句台词就是：“有人说，两个女人在一起，要用Dog Year來计算。”。。。Dog Year？狗能活多久。。。这应该是一个不算长久的计时单位吧。

为什么这样的爱情会如此短暂，是因为善变，还是因为脆弱。被世人所排斥的爱情，能够真正坚持下去，那是需要相当 的勇气和决心的吧。。。

而人心不定，外界所施加的种种压力，都使得一段出发点很简单的爱情逐渐变的不再纯净，最后慢慢死掉。

“我爱你，所以。。。。你”，这 句话就像一个万能公式；充斥着生活的各个角落。在这个千奇百怪的时代，爱情反而成了任何事情的借口。

又想起在网上看到有文章说，在某些地方，同性之间的恋情已经俨然成为了 一种时尚。。。

可是，这。。。还是爱情吗？

同性之间的爱情也一定要如此复杂的吗？

长久的爱情也许真的只是心里的一个小小渴求吧。。。想到《The L Word》中，看上去最美好的，The First，The Last，就这样的一对，最后也在痛苦中结束了。。。

片尾是两只蝴蝶在胸前并肩而飞。。。一个美好的结局，但并不代表现实就是如此。

片中曾说过，会飞的才是蝴蝶；但是，飞过和没飞过，对别人来说，也许并没有区别。

当回忆经过你的时候，你才会偶尔垂泪。

题外话：因为这部电影，认识了田原，也认识了她的文，她的跳房子。。。都是很纯的表达。。。非常稀饭的呐～～

后记：这篇文本来是放在MSN空间的，最近又重温了一遍这部电影，于是找来重新编辑了一下。。。感觉还是有点不一样了捏。。。可是那份温馨感动依旧。。。

The Cuban president Raul Castro has given the most somber assessment of the country's economic situation since he succeeded his elder brother Fidel in February. From Havana, Michael Voss has the details.

In a televised address to the National Assembly, president Raul Castro said the key reforms such as increasing salaries would have to wait. He blamed this on rising global oil and food prices. The 77-year-old leader also warned a further belt-tightening with reduction in subsidies. He gave no specifics, but this could include food rationing. But Raul Castro is pushing ahead with distributing unused agricultural land to private farmers and allowing workers to earn productivity bonuses.

Organizers of the world's most prestigious cycle race, the Tour de France, say a Spanish rider has become the first to fail a drugs test in this year's event. An anti-doping official said Manuel Beltran who rides for the Liquigas Team had tested positive for the blood-boosting agent EPO.

The United Nations has appealed for much greater investment in family planning to help reduce poverty and slow down population growth. The UN estimates say the world's population will grow by more than a third by the year 2050. A growth rate it says is unsustainable. Imogen Foulkes reports from Geneva.

Over 200 million women, many in the developing world, don't have access to contraceptives. Hundreds of thousands of women die in childbirth each year, or from botched illegal abortions. And women are crucial to the world's food production. In Africa and Asia, they grow over 80% of crops. Access to contraceptives would give women the chance to plan their families, and the resulting slower population growth would, the UN says, ease pressure on food's supplies and reduce damage to the environment.

World News from the BBC.

The World Bank says China's spearheading an unprecedented amount of investment into infrastructure projects throughout Africa. The bank says China is developing finance deals with more than 35 African countries, including 10 major hydropower projects.

The American civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has apologized for what he called regretfully crude remarks he made about the Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama. While waiting to appear on Fox News, Mr Jackson whispered to a fellow guest "I want to cut his nuts off" for talking down to black people. Mr Jackson was unaware his microphone was switched on. Mr Obama has accepted Jesse Jackson's apology. Oliver Conway reports.

Jesse Jackson made the comments in what he thought was a private conversation with a fellow guest before a television interview. He was criticizing Barack Obama for what he called speaking down to black people during his recent speeches in black churches on morality. Reverend Jackson says there are other more important issues to be addressed in the black community, such as unemployment, the mortgage crisis, and the number of blacks in prison. But he has now apologized for what he called the crude sound bite.

1. 总结

红色部分是听写错误的, 蓝色部分是与答案有疑义的地方.

总体说来, 依然是a/the的问题, 总是漏听或听错...T__T; 然后是on morality听写成了unmorality, comments in...听写成了comments on..., 反省一下, 一个主要的原因是粗心, 另一个原因就是没有理解上下文的意思就写下来了...唉~~~

(2) fellow-guest 一同做客的人
(3) sound bite 名人(尤其是政治人物)在接收传媒访问时, 发表的精句

这是一首送给bb的歌~~某草唱的不好, 发音也不咋地, 还请主上见谅~~~

舞·Hime的整体基调都很感伤, 每次看到又有一根柱子竖起来的时候, 就是一阵心痛~~于是, 唱着这样的校歌, 无论如何也是高扬不起来的...

加入放歌团的时间不算长, 却是一个很温暖的地方; 自己也不清楚在这样的地方能坚持到什么时候, 可是在这里发生的一切, 曾经的美好, 即使以后离开了, 也一定不会忘记...
