玲珑心思一点通,憔悴佳人睡梦中。
窗外已是春秋日,何人留恋月朦胧。
今宵凄凄杯中酒,对月空空万里愁。
不知何时佳人归,静静悄悄梦竹楼。
奥巴马当选演讲
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled – Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.
I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation's next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House. And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics – you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to – it belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington – it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory.
I know you didn't do this just to win an election and I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime – two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonderhow they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America – I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you – we as a people will get there.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years – block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek – it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers – in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.
Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House – a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “We are not enemies, but friends…though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.” And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn – I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world – our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down – we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security – we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright – tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.
For that is the true genius of America – that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing – Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons – because she was a woman and because of the colour of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America – the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbour and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves – if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:
Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.
陈绮贞北京个唱罕见爆满 小众歌手引发大众效应
8日晚,北京展览馆剧场前所未有地全场爆满。开场前280元的门票被炒到550元。观众席中,有周迅这样的名 演员、有甘愿自掏腰包买票的乐评人、有时尚圈的美女模特,更多的则是从千里之外赶来的各地歌迷。从舞台主角说出“北京我终于来了”后,就有越来越多的文艺 女青年加入姿态万千的流泪队伍。演出最后,演员五返场观众依然不肯离开——这就是被打上“小众”标签的陈绮贞所引发的大众效应。
陈绮贞,1975年出生在台北,大学哲学专业。1996年21岁时签约滚石旗下的魔岩唱片。但所写、所唱歌曲并未引起大众市场的关注。不过当时 陈绮贞并未放弃,2002年离开滚石后坚持唱歌并独立运作,甚至自己抱着唱片去邮局发货。一点一滴地通过听众口碑传播扩大影响,也因此被打上“小众独立文 艺女歌手”的标签。2004年,内地唱片公司星外星引进发行了陈绮贞专辑《旅行的意义》,成为引发“陈绮贞热”的基础。陈绮贞的出现和被听到,扭转了很多 听众的听觉习惯。更多人越过情歌的形式,开始关注音乐本身及歌手的思想。此后华语乐坛的“独立音乐潮”在相当程度上是由陈绮贞引领的。
以上这些,就是“小众”陈绮贞引发大众追捧的大致背景。此次也是陈绮贞首次在北京开唱,这让原定的只有昨晚一场演唱会因门票甫一上市就被抢购一空而特别增加了今晚的第二场——当然今晚的门票现在也所剩无几,而这种观众“抢购”热潮在近年的流行歌坛相当罕见。
陈绮贞昨晚也用她和乐队的实力及个性向观众、媒体证明了她值得如此被热捧。不论是单人吉他的轻声吟唱还是与乐队合作的激情摇滚,不论是慢歌时全 场除她之外再无二声还是快歌时全场观众都离开座位欢蹦乱跳,陈绮贞把现场和观众的心牢牢掌控在手中。陈绮贞在选歌时也并不“讨好”观众,在内地影响最大的 《旅行的意义》专辑她只选了3首歌,而且“任性”地把歌曲《躺在我的衣柜》分单人吉他版、乐队版唱了两遍。
音乐媒体们也在分析为什么是陈绮贞而不是别的“小众歌手”能引发这种大众追捧。除了好声音、好外形外,她“也曾想过躲进别人温暖的怀中,可是这 么一来就一点意义也没有(《还是会寂寞》)”等歌词直接击中了拥有“高尚情操”的听众。她还会因为流浪猫、因为女性弱势地位而写出“give a hand to anyone”的歌词。而在昨天现场,陈绮贞在唱歌之外的话语不多。但像“我终于来了,你们也来了”、“你们都没有走,我们也不会走”、“我被你们的热情 宠坏了,我不想下台”、“外面很冷,走的时候穿好衣服”等话语每一次说出就让多一些观众流泪,特别是那些文艺女青年。
不过昨晚在现场,还有另外一些因陈绮贞引发的眼泪。在演出最后,陈绮贞四次返场加唱,观众依然“不依不饶”。在空喊了近10分钟后,陈绮贞从后 台走出,告诉大家演出真的已经结束,并“任性”地走近观众向大家告别。此举一下引发了观众疯狂,纷纷向舞台冲。在与安保人员的僵持中,一个姑娘被保安推 倒,重重地摔在了地上,委屈加上恐惧,她泪流满面。面对疯狂向前冲的观众,年轻的安保人员属于弱势,但对于个体的女性歌迷,她们又更加单薄。希望今晚各方 都能把握好自己的“度”,让眼泪为音乐和感动而流,而不是为悲伤而流。

4月1日
玉渊潭赏樱花似乎是这个季节该做的事。
天气虽然没有天气预报的那样,但还是一会儿晴,一会儿阴,一会儿起风的。人比想象的多,樱花真的很美,只是商业味太浓了。
本来还想到中华世纪坛世界艺术馆去参观“庞贝末日——源自火山喷发的故事”,但似乎想到了什么,一下子兴致全无。
随后去了首都博物馆新馆,早就听同事推荐过,真的超赞。空间大,环境好,多媒体技术应用的淋漓尽致。体力不行了,圆形展厅没去,有机会再去参观一下。
出去走走
一夜之间,北京热了10度,人们都换上了春装。大好时光,怎能不出去走走。
国图还需要办证,N多人,真麻烦。
去了传说中的ZOO服装市场,人更多,空气中弥散一股味道,我只在门口望了一下。
还是博物馆好玩。强烈推荐北京天文馆,买电影票免门票。古动物馆也值得一去,10:00-11:00,2:00-3:00有讲解,否则自己看化石确实有些枯燥。照例是小朋友很多,不禁回想起参观深圳少年宫的情形,深圳的文化场馆远没有北京丰富,但家长对孩子的爱都是一样的。
同事的心声
在这里,真的说句心里话,希望我们每个人,都保护好自己的身体,不能因为这样的单位和工作,而失去自己最宝贵的东西。如果真的失去了,就连单位和工作都不在了……
