比尔舔GM

杜然 发表于 2010-01-29 12:09:17

GM此处不可做“通用汽车”解,在这里你可以解释为government或者ass。

盖兹在《早安,美国》节目中说在别的国家做生意就要遵守东道主的法律和法规。我官舌一片叫好,《中国青年报》有一篇文章标题甚至是《谷歌事件盖茨说了一句公道话》。但所有的官肉喇叭都没有提及盖兹下面的一句话:“the Chinese efforts to censor the internet have been very limited. It's easy to go around it, and so I think keeping the internet thriving there is very important.”翻译如下:中国对互联网的审查是非常有限的。绕过这种审查并不难,所以我认为保持中国互联网的繁荣是非常重要的。这是一句真假参半的话。没有youtube,没有facebook,无法登陆几乎所有的国外博客网站,这显然不能说是“非常有限”。至于“绕过这种审查并不难”,倒是实话,不是有人找媳妇的标准之一就是“会翻墙吗”?

以百度说谷先生的离去是虚伪这样的心态来分析盖兹的话,倒是正合适。我相信许多门先生(Mr.GATES)的言论,背后应该有一整套的公关策略。当年SINO-US为了元首的华盛顿之行究竟是否是国事访问而争执不休时,许多门先生当和事佬,在家设家宴宴请元首。就在几周前,微软的首席执行官史蒂夫·巴尔默也在替恶行说话:大家总想侵入其他人的数据库;总有人想闯入微软的数据库。

巴尔默真是不会说话,帮人说好话说得都这么难听。你让官肉喇嘛们怎么引用你的美言嘛!这就像是老大的朋友帮老大辩护:我们老大的心眼儿老好了,砍人都是一刀捅死,从来不玩凌迟。

已把MSN签名改成Bill ASSlicker Gates,直译就是比尔舔肛门——但不可下流,正确的念法应该是比尔-舔肛-门,因为他的名字叫“门”,而且美国人不是爱在事件后面加“门”字儿吗。

脑海中挥之不去的一个恶女人

杜然 发表于 2010-01-25 16:04:31

作者也好译者也好,在中国,你的工作必须得分为两个部分:写稿译稿和催稿费。做了这么多年的翻译,跟许多媒体打过交道,最尊重作者的是FT的《》;至于不良媒体,名单暂不公布,需要的,咱私下交流。其实,稿费开支在一本杂志的整体开支中所占的比例并不大,一份杂志如果连稿费都能拖欠四五个月,只能说明这家媒体在苟延残喘,还是躲开为妙。还有的媒体,能把稿费拖到——等你收到钱时,竟然产生了发意外之财的喜悦。反正把人的心理弄得很不健康。

大概四五年前,《时尚健康》(忘了是男健还是女健)的一个编辑让我给翻译一篇大脑医学方面的文章。一天,通知我去领稿费,那会儿杂志的办公室还在中粮广场。编辑把我介绍给流程编辑后,自己就嗖地闪开。我还暗暗纳闷,跑什么呀。

但见这位胖胖的流程大姐,好一幅八十年代国营商店营业员的表情。我说,取稿费。

名字。她一张嘴,一股阴风就吹得我几乎站立不稳。

报上名字,她飞快地扫过写满名字的两张纸后,厉声说道:没有。

我正要让她再给找找,王锋从小屋子走出来,说:给我订一张晚上去上海的机票。

听到声音,胖胖的流程大姐侧过脑袋——OMG,刚才还僵硬的脸,突然有了圣母的光辉,用柔软的声音说:你要几点的呀……

那一刻,我真惊呆了,相信自己对于人性的认知又上了一个新的高度。怎么可能,1秒钟的功夫,天使和魔鬼的表情竟然可以在同一张脸上如此轻松自如地置换,脑海中,就跳出了三个字:“What-A-Bitch!”

费尽周折,终于拿到钱之后,编辑闪回来,送我出去。我问她,怎么这么彪悍?这位著名医科大学毕业的姑娘赶紧压低声音,说:我们都怕她。“但,但,但她只是一个~~”我赶紧打住,因为这位姑娘早已满脸的尴尬。

说也奇怪,这么多年过去了,这位悍妇的形象不时地跳出来,不过不再是鄙夷,而是每每想起这位,就想乐。今天又想起这位,于是记录下来。

为什么中国人爱撒谎

杜然 发表于 2010-01-22 22:49:02

去年看过一篇假托兰德公司亚太政策中心分析中国人性格的文章,在网络世界轰动一时。不过,文章对于中国人的性格分析不得不服。

其中有一段是:中国人缺乏诚信和社会责任感。中国人不了解他们作为社会个体应该对国家和社会所承担的责任和义务。普通中国人通常只关心他们的家庭和亲属,中国的文化是建立在家族血缘关系上而不是建立在一个理性的社会基础之上。中国人只在乎他们直系亲属的福址,对与自己毫不相关的人所遭受的苦难则视而不见。毫无疑问,这种以血缘关系为基础的道德观势必导致自私,冷酷,这种自私和冷酷已经成为阻碍中国社会向前发展的最关键因素。

中国人为什么缺乏诚信?

我之所以想起上面这篇文章,是因为外交部对于美国国务卿讲话的回应,摘录如下:

问:美国国务卿克林顿21日就“互联网自由”问题发表演讲,其中谈到中国互联网管理政策,认为中方限制互联网自由,请问中方对此有何评论?

答:美方指责中国的互联网管理政策,影射中国限制互联网自由。对于这种违背事实、损害中美关系的言行,我们坚决反对。

中国互联网是开放的,中国也是互联网发展最活跃的国家,到去年底,中国网民达3.84亿,网站达368万个,博客1.8亿。中国宪法保护公民的言论自由,推动互联网的发展是我们的一贯政策。中国有自己的国情和文化传统,中国对互联网坚持依法管理,符合世界通行做法。

中国法律禁止任何形式的网络黑客行为和侵犯公民个人隐私的行为。中国是世界上主要的黑客攻击受害国之一。中国主张通过加强国际合作,共同严厉打击网络黑客行为,维护网络安全和依法保护公民个人隐私。

我们敦促美方尊重事实,停止利用所谓互联网自由问题对中国进行无理指责。我们希望美方同中方一道,认真落实两国领导人就发展新时期中美关系达成的共识,加强对话、交流与合作,尊重彼此核心利益和重大关切,妥善处理分歧和敏感问题,以维护中美关系健康稳定发展。



在一个从上到下说假话的体制中,人民该怎么诚实?我们的儿童,从小就生活在一个处处得说假话的环境里,他们长大又如何诚实?具有讽刺意味的是,我看到这篇发表于新浪的报道时,显示有1534条评论,但只显示出了2页,20条左右。

究竟谁在违背事实?谁在睁眼说瞎话?

你妈烧的红烧肉棒极了

收到这条短信的时候,我还纳闷:你怎么知道?我怎么不知道?

再往下看,说这条短信以后可能会被禁。百思不得其解,接着往下看,说:里面有“肉棒”两个字。

中华人民共和国宪法》第四十条规定:“中华人民共和国公民的通信自由和通信秘密受法律的保护。除因国家安全或者追查刑事犯罪的需要,由公安机关或者检察机关依照法律规定的程序对通信进行检查外,任何组织或者个人不得以任何理由侵犯公民的通信自由和通信秘密。”

中国移动这不是给已经脸肿得像包子的宪法又来了一记响亮的耳光吗?别打了,再打下去都看不出来是宪法了。

在中国,最大的弱势群体不是拆迁户、不是农民工,而是儿童。频繁被利用,一会儿是低俗网站一会儿是低俗短信,但司马昭的心啊谁又看不见,这岂不是教儿童虚伪吗?现在儿童的妈妈也参与了这场大秀——“评审、形成处置建议反映给相关管理部门,并监督评审结果的执行”。

向妈妈陪审团举报:我住的小区里,有许多姑娘冒着零下10度以下的天气和四五级北风,穿高跟凉拖,穿很短很短的裙子,露很多很多的胸部,晚上六七点钟左右出门;不开电脑儿童就看不到黄色网站,没收手机儿童就收不到万恶的黄色短信,但——他们会在马路上碰见这些走路一扭一扭、身上很香很香、说话带很多“cao”和“bi”的妖精。你们来管管吧,附近还住着很多儿童呢。

google会离开中国吗?

杜然 发表于 2010-01-13 20:52:05

SAN FRANCISCO — Google Inc. will stop censoring its search results in China and may pull out of the country after discovering that computers hackers had tricked human rights activists into opening their e-mail accounts to outsiders.

The change-of-heart announced Tuesday heralds a major shift for Google, which has repeatedly said it will obey Chinese laws that require some politically and socially sensitive issues to be blocked from search results that are available in other countries

Google disclosed in a blog post that it had detected a "highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China." Further investigation revealed that "a primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists," Google said in the post written by Chief Legal Officer David Drummond.

Google did not specifically accuse the Chinese government. But the company added that it is "no longer willing to continue censoring our results" on its Chinese search engine, as the government requires. Google says the decision could force it to shut down its Chinese site and its offices in the country.

An excerpt from Google's blog post about Google.cn:


    We launched Google.cn in January 2006 in the belief that the benefits of increased access to information for people in China and a more open Internet outweighed our discomfort in agreeing to censor some results. At the time we made clear that "we will carefully monitor conditions in China, including new laws and other restrictions on our services. If we determine that we are unable to achieve the objectives outlined we will not hesitate to reconsider our approach to China."

    These attacks and the surveillance they have uncovered--combined with the attempts over the past year to further limit free speech on the web--have led us to conclude that we should review the feasibility of our business operations in China. We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China.


It's unclear how much of a blow to its business Google would suffer by pulling out of China. The country has the world's largest population of Internet users but research firm Analysys International said last year that Baidu.com handled 62 percent of Web searches in China compared with 29 percent for Google.

Clothilde Le Coz, Washington director for Reporters Without Borders, called Google's willingness to stop censoring results a positive step, but added it doesn't necessarily mean more information will be available to the average Chinese person.
"The Chinese government is one of the most efficient in terms of censoring the Web," she said. The media watchdog group has long criticized Google and other Internet companies for caving to China's censorship regime.

A spokesman for the Chinese consulate in San Francisco had no immediate comment.

Google first agreed to censor search results in China in 2006 when it created a version of its search engine bearing China's Web suffix, ".cn." Previously, Chinese-language results had been available through the company's main Google.com site.

To obtain its Chinese license, Google agreed to omit Web content that the country's government found objectionable. At the time Google executives said they struggled with how to reconcile the censorship concessions with the company's motto of "don't be evil." By then Yahoo had come under fire for giving the Chinese government account information of a Chinese journalist who was later convicted for violating state secrecy laws.
