July 18th, 2006 · No Comments

中新网7月17日电 据香港文汇报报道,英国一对有32年差距的超级忘年恋夫妇,女的今年60岁,而男的只有28岁,两人相恋10载,声称恩爱如初,每周最少交欢5次。
  60岁的诺尔马和28岁的哈维10年前于英国威尔斯普尔黑利一个营舍偶遇,哈维忆述:“第一眼看到她时,她身穿素白皮革衣和高跟鞋,有如电影明星,我以为她只有40岁,我自己则假称23岁(其时我不过18岁),本觉得自己完全没机会。”

From the People’s Daily:
A couple of the best students in China have turned down offers of prestigious mainland universities to go and study in Hong Kong. The lure of high quality teaching, generous scholarships and bright job prospects are often too great.
And an on-line survey conducted by one of China’s largest Internet news websites found [...]

Palestinians stranded at Rafah

July 18th, 2006 · No Comments

I remember the one and only time that i was in Rafah: the only time in my life that i’ve heard live gunfire, from Israeli machine guns. They had just demolished, with a bulldozer, some house or terrorist hideout, depending on who you ask. I remember the people there being desperate but there being a [...]

孫悟空不是猴子,是色狼

July 18th, 2006 · No Comments

我同意以下的觀點:孫悟空的確是無性的,也就是說是沒有性欲的–這樣改變塙是一種糟蹋。然而,我不認爲孫悟空學雷鋒或者孫悟空去月球就等於“與時俱進”,這也近似荒唐,章氏也未免太願意迎合一時的潮流了,這樣也不對。被意識形態扭曲的西遊記跟黃色西遊記相差無幾。
“我去大学演讲时说,孙悟空是无性的。女性一出场,孙悟空眼睛一看,就两个字,‘人’还是‘妖’?没有别的了!如果女性一出来,我火眼金睛一飞眼,哎呀,这女人真漂亮!讲到这里,台下哄然大笑。如果师徒四人在取经路上,对爱情的忠贞超过了对取经的坚定,这根本违反这部作品的本意了。唐僧原型玄奘是佛教很有影响的一个代表,玄奘精神一直被尊敬。所以大家千万不要拿先祖的名著去开涮或搞笑。要防止影视作品为了商业利益,拿这些去满足少部分人的乐趣,这是一个非常不好的引导。”六小龄童清楚记得有个孩子问他:“叔叔,孙悟空有几个女朋友?”他无言以对。
《撞击》中那个年轻人说,古典名著只有注入了新的信息和现代感,才会赢得年轻观众的喜爱。有人指责六小龄童这样是扼杀新的、时尚的东西。他表示:“我觉得胡搞跟百花齐放是两个概念,孙悟空可以加入现代元素,我以后可能会考虑拍一些孙悟空像超人一样上月球,或者到现代社会解决现实困难什么的,但是他的基本性格不变,不会成好色了。我们那时候60年代还有‘孙悟空学雷锋’,这没有什么不好。孙悟空是永恒的,是随着时代走的,但与时俱进不是就让你去安排孙悟空跟女妖谈恋爱。改编经典名著,这条底线应该是中华民族心底的线。” [tags]China, journey to the west, spielberg, movie, film, adaptation, monkeyking, Sunwukong[/tags]
