How come

October 24th, 2009 WANG 1 comment

周四摄像机操作培训,结束后老师让拿着机器出去拍两分钟素材,熟悉熟悉。

20分钟后回到教室,一起观看大家的“杰作”。

以下是班上一个印度女学生采访一个中国女学生的片段。

印度学生:Do you smoke?
中国学生:No. I don’t smoke.
印度学生:How come?
中国学生可能是没听清,稍许愣了一下,但又听到了come这个词,于是就答:I’m from China.

全班大笑。。。

印度人口齿不清,中国人耳朵不灵,怪谁呢。

Comparison of broadsheets’ report on postal strike on Oct. 15 — Part I

October 17th, 2009 WANG No comments

Postal workers will stage two strikes next week. Four of the five broadsheet newspapers published the news on their website frontpages, except for the Financial Times.

The Independent and The Times didn’t give a time stamp of publishment, but judging from the time of the first reader’s comment, The Independent was the first to bring the storty to public, followed in time order by Telegraph, The Times and Guardian. However, it needs to be pointed out that The Independent wasn’t the first story-teller by itself because the piece on its website was written by Alan Jones from Press Association. In other words, no editing work has been done by The Independent.

All of the other three newspapers, The Times, Guardian, and Telegraph, have edited the story. Since The Independent didn’t its own homework, it was excluded from the following comparison.

周日早歇业

October 11th, 2009 WANG 1 comment

下午在图书馆呆了半天,除了搞明白怎么打印之外,基本什么书也没看。回到宿舍也无聊,干脆就去SAINSBURY买点蔬菜吧。

离门口老远的时候就觉得奇怪,喏大的停车场怎么就空荡荡的呢?待走到门口才发现,星期天四点就关门了。

好在天气不错,就当出来散步健身,于是绕到超市后面的小店,买了三个青椒、一包土豆,外加一根洋开花,也叫扈子的东东,一共三块钱。

来了两个礼拜了,英国人的三明治、炸薯条实在适应不了,中国人的胃,还是得吃中国的饭菜。倒是走路已经成了习惯,毫不夸张的说,这两礼拜走的路,抵我在家两年走的路。
