It was after midnight and every lawmaker in the committee room wanted to go home, but there was still time to sweeten a deal encouraging oil and gas companies to drill in the Gulf of Mexico

 

 

The elegance of this sentence lies in the simplicity by using "and" structure.

lawmaker: people who legislate. e.g policy maker/ trouble maker

sweeten : to make an offer more appealing to others

 

encouraging here severs as 后置定语

dril: test-drill    military drilling:军训

 

It was after school and every student wanted to rush to the cafeteria, but there was still some time to sweeten Bob Riggle, with an attempt to have less assignment this week.

最近颇为无聊，虽然很忙，但却不知忙了些什么，但俨然成了一个semi-professional spacer.

为了应景，最近下了《野百合也有春天》来听，零点的版本比较苍老，林志玄的比较flashy,罗大佑爷爷却好像是千年老妖精在山谷歌唱。最喜欢的还是阿桑的，淡淡的哀伤从略微沙哑的声音中穿透过来。在浦口的夜里听，很有感觉。

罗大佑这个老男人还是很有味道的。最早听到他的歌是在小学，全班一起排演六一儿童节目，轻声的唱《童年》。当时没有什么感觉，只是曲调很美，像我这样不识谱的人都可以跟着唱。一群小屁孩儿，穿着红毛衣，白球鞋，在台子上作清纯装，扭来扭去。台下老师恶狠狠的看着我们，时刻抓出那个不守纪律的小朋友。那时童年的我们唱童年，是没有办法了解其中的含义的，to some extent, the lyric can only stir those people whose youth has died away. 我们那时应该的“年少不识愁滋味，为赋新词强说愁。” 想必台下的老师应该有想法，或着太老，或者太麻木，她们还是睁着恶狠狠的眼睛。

现在我是有这样的感觉了，童年是"隔壁班的那个女生怎么还没有走过我的窗前“

That is for nostalgia，还好现在只是喜欢罗大佑

不是蔡琴，否则便和我老爹沦为一道了

小的时候，对于青年的人的想法就是来自于上海的一部中学生剧《十六岁的花季》，到现在还能记得住这个名字，对于我这样记忆力不是很好的人来说，很不容易。里面最喜欢的就是白雪，现在是东方电视的吉雪平，智慧与美貌的化身。那时的我便立下重誓，自己的十六岁一定要好好的过，最好能遇见一个像白雪那样的女生，意淫一下也好。可是我自己的十六岁，不知道怎么样就过去了。后来看了一个电视剧叫《十七岁不哭》，发誓自己的十七岁也要过得十分精彩，结果还是没有成功。还有《花季雨季》，自己想我要是在深圳念书，也要像王笑天那样，后来，念了，念了也就念了，没有什么感觉。曾经也还意淫过很多很多，结果都是过就过了，没有任何特别的感受。其实这样的活着，与没有活过差别不是很大。这种感觉就很想吃燕窝，吃过的同学们可以想象，其实和银耳没有什么本质的区别。也许，我要做的就是refresh一下精神，再意淫，再体验。

前段时间看过了《春田花花同学会》，发誓，不再意淫做OL了

要作社会的栋梁，未来的主人翁

 

ps:刚刚看过老罗的blog,写的东西很不堪入目，突然觉得，我TMD又一次被骗了

我们都是矮子，但是我们站在巨人的肩膀上

这种谦卑的姿态，表达了太多的自我满足。巨人是那么容易让我们爬上去的吗？

巨人的功能就是把侏儒扛在他们的肩膀上吗？

2 快来见我讨论论文！在大街上见到的那次不算！


再补一个传说中的故事
有一日英语系入贼，丁丁的办公室被偷
丁丁上班发现状况之后，大呼，我被偷了
老师们前来询问
丁丁说，我左边的抽屉没锁，里面有2000块，右边抽屉锁了，里面什么也没有，贼翘了右
边的，放过左边的

众老师们皆晕
丁丁憨笑：Thanks to the thief, I am always troubled not knowing where the key
is, he helped me this time

最近天天见到他老人家，每次他都以很疑惑的眼神看着我，似乎在想这小子怎么还没毕业
》。。。

大四给我们上为数不多的科目之一论文写作课时说
when we meet every week in class, i just want to make sure you are all alive


丁丁说：每次我和儿子看电视，那一男一女快要KISS的时候，我就让他去倒水给我喝。

于是，有一天，儿子问：为什么每次别人一接吻，爸爸就口渴呢？

To Bonn:

Do not try to attract my attention...

discourse analysis课我们希望早下课,少作业时:

Students are the most generous...They pay much but ask for little.
大意如此

He said these in his last writing class. Do you remember?

"If…, you’re in trouble."

"You cannot leave the university without knowing this."

"Be confident as well as careful in the exam." (Pay attention to the alliterat
ion.)

"Don’t use the dictionaries in the exam." (How considerate!)

In addition:
"Why...?To make life easier!"

We are always on the way, though, at times, we may not know where to go. With this mentality, I would rather to turn head around or simply close my eyes, for illusions, of course, sooth the dizziness of sunlight and blurring prospect ahead.

 

How I wish that I could go back to the breezy summer in Oxford, playing traunt from classes while taking pictures along the riverbank.

How I wish that I could go back the chilly winter with a hand of roast chestnut and bite them with a crust sound.

How I wish that I could go back to the winter night sitting along with friends, holding torchlight and undergo a discussion on Republica

 

Nothing can be compared with instant moment that a complete freedom is in my possession.

Nothing can be compared with the blindness to run in darkness with Mozart's music

Maybe there is: We are on the way

I feel olibged to write something after such a long long time without showing up in the space.

Vivian sent me a email the other day, saying that "in sad days, happiness is everywhere."

quite illuminating words.

 

A friend of mine once said, "Our existence can only be proved by our sufferings (我们的存在只能够通过自身的痛苦来证明）" He thought himself as a philosopher. Without any pain, we feel nothing.

 

Lovers depart

Future dims

exam tortures

life pains

 

But all these sadness proves one thing: we are still alive,

To everybody, in sad days, happiness is everywhere, for we have nothing to lose.
