    十月份已过半，一篇随笔都没发，真有点对不住自己的博客。今天下午为了参加一个国际研讨会，就只好逃课。我还没有练就分身术，没有办法只好对不起SUN老师了。没有想到在会上还遇到了好多老朋友，老朋友相见自然很高兴。晚上的聚餐也不错，虽说是自助餐，但五星级酒店的烹饪水平还是名副其实。一边吃，一边聊又结识了一些新朋友。

    晚餐吃好后，似乎高兴的事也结束了。骑着车子回家，在道路较暗的地方一不小心把车骑进了坑里，后胎砰的一声破了，好不容易找到修车的地方，修车师傅那股舍我其谁的牛劲让人受不了。他慢条斯理地干别的活，丝毫没有想要赚我这几块钱的意思。我只好耐着性子等，没办法，晚上的那个时候能找到修车的已经算是有造化了，半个多小时后车总算修好了。看到他那么辛苦，给了他劳务费外加了一点小费。我总算看到他脸上露出点笑容，临走时关照我别把车子又骑进坑里。霉运似乎还没有完全散去，离家还有5 blocks，后胎又叭的一声爆了，就像放爆竹，只差没把车主震下来。此时的郁闷可想而知。我只好背着重重的包，推着沉重的车，用双脚量完一个又一个街区，终于到了平常修车的地方。我一气之下要把后胎里外换个遍，老板很起劲地给我换胎，一结帐才知道他起劲的动力来源在哪里。再这样修两次车，我完全可以买一辆新车了。

    霉运好像会传染，中午同屋的室友刚换了车胎，晚上就轮到我了。今天究竟是高兴还是郁闷？我也说不清。但愿读了这篇随笔的读者都有好运！

    2008年8月18日，离开学正好还有一个星期，在很多人看来是个好日子，但这一天却成了外语学院李国富老师的忌辰。因意外事故，李老师在上海的邻省一个小城市永远离开了他的家人、同事和他热爱的学生。
    我最初听到这一噩耗是在开学当天的院务会上，至今我也无法相信这是真的，因为脑海里总是浮现出他那瘦高的身影，他那乐观开朗的笑声时刻在耳边响起。李老师为人很和善，见了同事，老远就打招呼，笑容可拘。他张嘴笑起来很有特色，就像平静的水面上扔了一颗石子，激起层层涟漪，把快乐传播开去。这样形容只是源于我的观察，并不是对李老师的不敬。
    由于属于不同的教研室，我和李老师以前接触并不多。最初和他打交道是2004年夏天。那一年，学校要接受教育部大评估。我有幸负责筹建学院的一个新的语言实验室。这个实验室是供全院学生课外学习用的，涉及到英语、日语、德语、法语和俄语五个语种。当问及与日语相关的情况时，李老师非常热心地给我提供了许多有用的信息。他还利用业余时间跑书店，为实验室添置了一些新的视听资料。实验室能够按时建成并投入使用，其中也有李国富老师的功劳。从那以后，我和李老师的接触多了起来。最近几个学期在同一层楼面上课，秋季我们同在六楼上课，夏季又同时换到了一楼。下课时，彼此在一块聊上几句，交流信息。
    李老师热心帮助他人，不计回报，但对别人给予他的一丁点帮助，时刻记在心上。去年，我的一个在出版社工作的亲戚给我寄来了他们社出版的许多教材，其中就有好几本日语经贸方面的教材。我觉得这几本书可能对他教学有用，就送了个顺水人情。那天他很开心，事后很久了还经常在我面前提起此事。
    李国富老师年轻时在日本呆过多年，也在经贸公司干过，有扎实的语言基本功也有丰富的实践经验，是一深受学生喜爱的老师。其实，他就是不工作，一家人也能过上舒服的日子。但是，他热爱教学，热爱学生，工作兢兢业业。我们失去了这样一位敬业的好同事，好兄长，怎能不感到悲痛！
    由于李老师是在假期又是在外地突然去世，我没能参加他的追悼会，为此感到非常愧疚。有句俗话说：“秀才人情纸半张。”可我连这半张纸都没有，只能够在博客上写这几小段，以寄托自己的哀思。

    上个世纪九十年代初，电脑还不太普及。我就尝试直接在电脑上做笔译，我不会五笔输入法，只会拼音，多年下来，汉语拼音水平提高了不少。
    这几天又在忙翻译。为了集中注意力，加快速度，我决定先将文章译成手写稿后再输入电脑，结果发现好多汉字自己不会写了，还有许多错别字。如果我直接在电脑上输入译文，根本不会出现类似的情况，因为电脑屏幕上会自动跳出汉字供我选择。
    我感到困惑，我不断问自己，再过若干年我还会写汉字吗？有人建议我学五笔输入法，但很难掌握。不知还有没有易学又不会让脑子变傻的输入法。

    这件事使我更加清楚表音文字和表意文字的差别，也明白了我上学的孩子作文错别字屡教不改的原因。有人也许会说："Like father, like son."

    老师后来提供了参考对联为：山涛出关，前一山，后二山，山山雄壮。山涛是西晋“竹林七贤”之一，晋初，任吏部尚书，也是历史人物。楼主觉得老师的对联很好，“山”字有一个山，“出”字有两个山字，“壮”字和上联的“香”字押韵，对仗工整。但楼主仍要斗胆改两个字，一是将“出关”改为“出游”，二是将“二山”改成“两山”，理由是“游”和上联的“酒”押韵，将“二”字改成“两”字感觉读起来更顺口些。有人也有不同的观点，认为“山涛出关”比“山涛出游”有气势，虽没有押上韵。真可谓仁者见仁，智者见智。
    对对联这种文字游戏当今已经不再盛行，一般人也没有接受过这方面的训练，对起来自然困难不少。“斗鸡山上山鸡斗，”也不太好对，因为这个上联从左往右读以及从右往左读都是一样的，跟英语广告语"Impossible is nothing"不一样。楼主想了一个下联，希望能够抛砖引玉。即：斗鸡山上山鸡斗，藏妖洞里洞妖藏。

有一天下午，孩子放学回家后，放下书包就在自己的房间里开始做作业。老师那天布置了一篇作文，题目是：生活需要什么？
孩子经过构思后就开始下笔写了，写得很认真，半个多小时后文章就写好了。我对孩子写作业的速度感到惊讶，担心他敷衍了事，就拿过作文来看。文章的主要内容我已记得不太清楚，但他的大意是说，生活需要什么？生活需要钱。有了钱，可以过上好日子；有了钱，可以给边远地区的孩子盖希望小学，让他们有书读；有了钱，可以让地震灾区的人民重建美好家园......
读完后，我觉得虽然孩子文笔稚嫩，也不够全面，但写得还算可以，也就鼓励了两句，事情就过去了。
几天后，我偶尔问起孩子上次作文怎么样。孩子的回答大大出乎我所料，老师让他重写作文。我问为什么？他说老师讲的生活需要钱不对，生活需要爱！下课休息时有同学讥笑他，说他掉到钱眼里（可能是学了成人的话）。
听了孩子的话，我恍然大悟。原来这才是教育者所期望的标准答案！

这件事虽已过去很长时间，但一直萦绕在我心头。生活当然需要爱，但也需要很多其他的东西，而且不同的人，需要亦不相同。如果问各位，生活究竟需要什么？我想大家不会千篇一律回答说生活只需要爱吧。

    The twin towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) New York collapsed following the 9.11 terrorist attacks in 2001. Some 2,800 people perished, including mor than 350 fire and emergency responders. The WTC site has another name Ground Zero. Since the 9.11, things have changed a lot in the United States. One thing is that they have stricter security check in some important public places. As a visiting scholar, I had experienced this myself when I was in New York last year. I had to go through strict security checks when I visited the Statue of Liberty, the Jewish Heritage Museum in New York and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. For those who visit New York, WTC is a must they will see. Most of them are curious about what the WTC is like now. I visited Ground Zero several times and each time I saw many people of different races tried to tear wider the hole in the fence and look into the WTC site. But there is nothing special going on there, it is only a large construction site, new skyscrapers are being built on the WTC site. Here are two of the pictures I took, I’d like to share my experience with my readers.

We had a good rest today so that we might be energetic for tomorrow’s trip to Thouand Island and Niagara Falls.


 

In the morning right after breakfast we went to the Queens College to check the mails. There are some computers at the lobby of kiely Hall. It is convenient for the students and the teachers to check their emails.

 

First I made a phone call to my family. To be frank, I am homesick though I have been only a few days away from my home. Ater the call I sent some emails to my friends.


 


We prepared dinner by ourselves and went to bed earlier than usual as we have to get up very early tomorrow for the trip we have been longing for.

The 3rd Day

It is Wednesday today. The QueensCollege is closed for 3 days since it is Jewish New Year. We can have a 3-day holiday, with the weekend we will have a 5-day vocation.

We went to Flushing after breakfast. It took only 15 minutes for us to get to the downtown center by bus Q25. We went to a Chinese travel agency to get some information about a trip to Niagara Falls. We had planned to go there on Friday, but they had no vacant seats, so we had to wait until Saturday. Schnell booked a flight ticket to Beijing, for he is to fly there for the National Day. We compared the prices of two travel agencies, and found that there was much difference so we chose LL Travel Agency and paid $130 and everything was ok.

On our way to our studio, we did some shopping for the coming weekend, especially for the travel on the weekend. We had a good rest for the next day we would visit Manhattan. That is my 3rd day in New York.

      众所周知，自从改革开放以来，机械化养鸡场、养猪场和现代化蔬菜基地给人们提供了大量的肉类和蔬菜。商品流通渠道畅通，人们能吃到全国各地乃至世界其他国家生产的农产品。随着人们生活水平和要求的不断提高，人们对高科技生产出来的农产品开始有了厌倦感，而对农家小菜开始感兴趣，蔬菜要吃当地产的蔬菜，最好是从地里现摘的；鸡要吃本地的土鸡，最好是放养的；鱼要吃河里的鱼，最好的是现捞的；放养的牛羊肉最受人欢迎。但是，城里的人又特别忙，没时间到乡下吃土菜，所以精明的餐饮老板就在城里开起了土菜馆，尽管端上顾客餐桌上的不都是土菜，但到土菜就餐却风行一时。
       无独有偶，国外也流行土食主义，如果要造一个新词来表示的话，应该叫locavorism,由英语单词locavore派生而来。locavore 本身也是一个生造词，是由local加vore合成的，local 是“当地的”意思，vore在英语中表示“食”，locavore的意思是“土食者”，是指那些热衷于食用本地出产的食物的人。据说，美国加利福尼亚州的一些土食者，只吃他们居住地方圆160公里出产的食物。土食者还办有自己的网站，真可谓是现代的土食者。
       这一现象引起人们的思考。现在这个变幻无常的社会，真叫人琢磨不定，一方面有人以能吃到世界各地出产的土特产为荣，另一方面有些人却只吃当地出产的食物。此一时，彼一时，三十年河东，三十年河西。谁也说不清今后几年又会流行吃什么！
