一句话一段的文章

May 24, 2008

 

 
老师不让写一句话一段的文章, 忘记 是为什么了.

可能是难度 太大了? 一句话一段的文章是很难拿捏 的.

 
西塞山前白鹭飞,桃花流水鳜鱼肥。

青箬笠,绿蓑衣,斜风细雨不须归。

 
–张志和的《渔歌子》, 唐人写的.

 
今人的也有–《成全了自己的碧海蓝天》, 很长,得读几个小时, 不过写得很不错.

老师说的不见得都对. 一句话一段的文章也是 可以写的.

误导.

 

 

 

 

 

Central Banks Fall behind the Curve

May 24, 2008

 
The curve is the inflation curve. The central banks to blame are all the major ones around the world—the American, Chinese, Japanese and even the European central bank. They can only rein in inflation if they act collectively on monetary policies—right now.

Right now, I don’t see it is probable.

For months, the US Federal Reserve has [...]

How Do Cities Rise and Fall

May 23, 2008

Great cities are much fewer than the ordinary ones around the world. And many once-glorious cities have faded away from the scene as times changes. Still, some cities have survived and thrived till to this day. Economists are fascinated with what shapes up the city’s fate and how its future is determined by what factors. [...]

One World, Two Wheels

May 11, 2008

 
Great news to prove that economics has some validity.

This title has nothing to do with the BOC’s slogan of “One World, One Dream” regarding the upcoming Olympics Games. This is about a bicycle promotion programs-thanks to the rising oil prices, people started to ride two wheels instead of four wheels.

Who said people were not sensitive [...]

Being Foreign in China or in Any Other Countries

May 11, 2008

Yesterday I happened to see this entry from Silk Road International Blog.(“Foreigners Not Welcome”) I thought I would write something about it – not for my own purpose, but for many foreign people living in China, especially those I know of or those I know are very passionate about China and Chinese people. And some [...]

真的不必太在意

May 10, 2008

 
我觉得奥运会就是奥运会,他首先是运动员的盛会,其次是体育爱好者的节日。 其他的都不那么重要。如果将政治有意无意地融入到奥运之中, 两者势必都受到影响。

这个火炬传递到底对中国形象的影响是好是坏,真的不必太在意。一个真正的大国,是一个真诚, 包容,开放, 自信而不傲慢的大国–她必定会赢得尊重。

中国有实力成功举办奥运会 — 一届实实在在的体育盛会。 这就达到了目的。 如果再要往其中添加更多的意义, 更多的内涵, 要弄巧成拙了。

有必要这么在意么?

奥运圣火:踏上珠峰直指北京

May 8, 2008

看到奥运圣火被登山运动员带上珠峰的画面,心里还是很激动的。

这是第二次在电视上看登山运动员冲击8848米的珠峰。头一次大约是五年前看中央电视台直播冲击珠穆朗玛峰。 从那时起”李致新””王勇峰”就死死地印在我的脑海中。他们将七大洲 的最高峰都踩在脚下, 他们是中国登山队的骄傲, 也是世界上所有登山运动员的标尺。 每次看到大山, 都会产生一种对登山人的由衷的敬意, 更不用说象”李致新””王勇峰”这样的登山家。

今天,王勇峰第三次踏上珠峰, 并且带领其他登山队员把奥运圣火带到了地球第三极。我相信这是中国登山运动员最真诚的愿望,他们实现了这个愿望。这也是为他们永远攀登,永远向前的精神的所作的一次完美见证。这也是奥运圣火登上珠峰的最终意义。

登上珠峰的奥运圣火在一步一步向北京靠近。真的希望所有的运动员在北京奥运会上奉献出精彩的比赛,我想这是每一个参加奥运会的运动员的终极梦想。这是纯粹的奥林匹克梦想和精神。其他一切都不必在意。奥林匹克是属于运动员的奥林匹克。

祝福运动员, 祝福奥林匹克。

Housing and Oil Market: The End of the Beginning or the Beginning of the End?

May 7, 2008

 
It is the latter rather than the former, in my view. Basically, I see no light at the end of the tunnel yet-the US housing market has further corrections to go and has high risk of faster deterioration.

So what did the government do about this sinking housing market in the US? Hardly anything for the [...]

My Way or Their Way

May 4, 2008

Just saw Bloomberg news on the ECB interest rate policy this evening. I sometime couldn’t believe good old Europe can have inflation. That is definitely a fast way of wealth erosion. The way to get under control of inflation is to slow down economic growth, and have recession. Another way is a breakout of war.

A Dead Engine Needs No More Oil

May 3, 2008

The Fed continued to intervene in the money market with the expanded term auction program. It is designed to encourage banks to lend short term funds to each other, so that liquidity of funds in the financial markets can be created to allow for more commercial loans by the banks to the businesses in general.
