Number Superstition, Chinese Style


It's said it's no coincidence that the Summer Olympics in Beijing will open on 08/08/08 at 8 p.m.

I didn't know that our government believed in this sort of things, too. I thought it was only limited to auto license plates.

My license plate "586XXX" should be considered a good one (吾发了). How come it hasn't brought me any wealth yet?

"Out Of Africa" and Mozart's Music

I was listening to the second movement of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A Major, K.622 (among many other "romantic moments") one evening when I read Jade's blog entry Characters in Stories". I wasn't sure I understood what she tried to convey, but I recognized the last picture as Meryl Streep in "Out of Africa". What a coincidence! The Clarinet Concerto was featured in the movie. It is very gentle, compassionate, and melancholy. It melts into the movie so perfectly that I could almost believe that Mozart wrote it for a movie that came almost 200 years later.

Of course Mozart wrote it for someone else. This piece was Mozart's last complete instrumental work. It was commissioned by his friend Anton Stadler, the principal clarinetist in the Court orchestra in Vienna. Mozart wrote it in the autumn of 1791, two months before his death at the age of 35, thus this concerto is sometimes described as "autumnal", a "farewell to life". In fact, Mozart himself might not have known that his days were numbered. Only if he had lived longer, how many more masterpieces he would have composed!

The movie features other Mozart pieces including Piano Sonata in A Major, K.331 (Rondo Alla Turca), Sinfonia Concertante for violin, viola and orchestra, K364, and three Divertimenti K.136, 137, 138. To hear excerpts of Mozart's music, go to this BBC webpage. To learn more about Mozart, I recommend the Teaching Company's Great Masters: Mozart—His Life and Music by Prof. Robert Greenberg. You can find the audio book in your local public library.

So now the Clarinet Concerto sounds to me forever associated with the movie "Out of Africa". Is this a good thing or a bad thing? What do you think, North Lab? I know you have been reading my blog. Surprise, surprise! The technology that enabled you to find my blog also led me to the discovery of who my readers are. Here in this blog entry dated June 11 I explained how I found it out, and why I didn't announce my embarking on blogging at the beginning. For your convenience, here is the google translation of my original entry in Chinese. Please excuse the imperfect translation by a machine.

I wrote "Thank you, my friends" because I knew you guys are reading it!

The following is just some records of your access to my blog:

网络这个江湖

自从安装了计数器以后,我对朋友们浏览我的博客的习性有了一定了解。可这个计数器并不能纪录所有的IP,所以我每天就对着几个寥寥可数的IP,感叹着知我 者谁谁谁了。我那个whois命令也不能告诉我具体的谁是谁,尤其是和我一个楼的,我这个机盲就更不知从何下手了。当我发现有四个同楼的苹果机的IP时, 我迷惑了,难道不成是二楼的一位朋友用四台机器看?不可思议!

那天装了Google的个性化主页,放了个IP浏览器,敲进去同楼的苹 果机的IP,我的神哎,居然是同试验室的机器!具体的说,是米兰的机器!我晕!当初 刚开博客的时候是想告诉同事们的,可是一时发懒,时间就越拖越久,到现在就不知道该怎么告诉了。可米兰是怎么发现我的博客的呢?这简直是不可能的!哪儿都 没有任何有关我的个人信息啊!

脑子里有了迷惑是一件伤神的事情。我百般不得其解,Jade也说不是她告诉的。我又不好直接去问米兰,万一要不是他呢,我不就自己告诉他 了吗?昨天我忽然开了窍,就我那个网上弄的免费 的计数器都可以告诉我每个IP是通过什么途径到达我的博客的,那米兰的博客的服务器就是我们自己的计算机,这些信息对他来说岂不是易如反掌了吗?而另一个不可缺 少的重要环节就是,我在我的博客上提供了他的连接!我的读者从我的主页进入他的博客就这样被我们的服务器忠实的纪录了下来。查看这些信息对米兰,大卫这些电脑迷们来说简直是想都不用想的事情,就我这一点雕虫小技还是他们言传身教的呢。

所以说,人在网络这个江湖,必然留下踪迹。结论就是,千万别干坏事!

愿景

如果我不幸今年在天津参加高考的话,语文作文肯定得零分。

知道这词是什么意思吗?

———————————————————————————————————————————
天津作文题目:以《愿景》为题

《今晚报》提供:新华字典里有一个新词叫做“愿景”,请以《愿景》为题写一篇800字的议论文。
———————————————————————————————————————————

刚才在网上找了一下,发现“愿景”的意思是“对未来的愿望;发展前景;希望、愿意看到的景象”,与“愿望”是近义词。原来在港台地区使用较多,现在大陆也 用得多了。我估摸着是因为连战和宋楚瑜的访问把这个词介绍了进来,然后,外来的东西吗总是会时髦的。所以现在有“公司愿景”、“企业愿景”、“学校愿景” 等,强调公司、企业、学校发展的战略方向和前景。

这才几年的功夫啊,我还算是紧跟网络潮流的呢,居然连这个词都不懂。只学会了沙发,板凳,玉米,凉粉之类的东东。都是因为我平常不看政治新闻,所以这个高尚的词还是在高考题里才看到。我想我现在的水平都不如中学生了。

下面是从网上抄来的高考作文题。我没一个能得及格分。羞愧!

看Google把我翻成了什么

今天发现有人从搜索“油画,+2008-北京” (http://www.google.com/search?q=%E6%B2%B9%E7%94%BB%EF%BC%8C+2008-%E5%8C%97%E4%BA%AC&hl=en&lr=&start=20&sa=N)进入了我的博客,我也好奇自己试了一把,然后就用Google translate this page.没把我给笑翻了。尤其喜欢这个 “闺 honey ”!还有“Good 吧”,“hair 泽 东”。感觉非常Chinglish.

可以原谅,只是beta版。
