    如何学文言文

      今年台灣大學指考,國文科出現相當多的文言文考題,這讓學生們叫苦連天,頻說國文考的真難,「全民大悶鍋」為解決台灣大學生的苦悶,由邰智源扮演「白米超人」教學生們如何親近文言文。

      中天「全民大悶鍋」在今天推出全新單元「白米超人」,此單元將以剛被特赦出獄的百米炸彈客楊儒門為靈感來源,重新擬人化由邰智源穿上超人裝,化身為專為台灣各行各業解決問題的「白米超人」。最近台灣剛舉辦完大學指考,國文考科出現許多文言文考題,使得考生們叫苦連天,直說國文考的真難,於是「白米超人」想出一個辦法讓文言文變得平易近人,而且很好學習。

      「白米超人」首度執行任務,即飛到中正紀念堂前,正好巧遇一群剛考完試的大學生,這群大學生向「白米超人」表示,文言文真的好難,於是「白米超人」告訴他們,其實文言文是古文,通常學語言,一開始一定先學那個語言罵人的話,「白米超人」就舉例說,像罵人的話也可以翻譯成文言文,例如「吾誠彼娘之非悅」翻譯成白話文就是「我真他媽的不爽」,「君去食穢物也」即為「你去吃屎吧」,「汝爹之高堂個龐然大物」即為「你奶奶個熊」,從以上的例子發現,文言文真的沒有那麼難,只要將它生活化即可。

    Can you understand the following snippets? 

         汝彼娘之大去老妪,
      若非吾之留去操之在汝,
      今日言吾之阖眼小憩,定当顶不少于两三句。
      愤也,小憩者,非止吾也,何也点而言之?
      况乎余尚未失神,其冤枉也。
      汝有何能?
      若真有能,何也伏于案上之学子者多于半者?
      厌汝者十者多有六,汝良乎?其数可见也。
      前事不咎,今日之事则可恶也,而令吾所气愤。
      母之,诚彼娘之非悦 

    Here is the translation: 

      你他妈的死老师
      要不是我的分数掌握在你手里
      今天念我上课打瞌睡 一定顶撞你不少于两三句
      不爽!打瞌睡的又不只有我,为何只念我一人?
      况且我还没有完全睡着,真是冤枉!
      你有什么才能?
      要是你真有能耐,为何趴在桌上睡觉的学生超过一半
      讨厌你的学生十个里有六个,你教的好吗?
      从这些睡觉的人数就知道了
      之前的事我就不和你计较了,但就今天的事来说你真的很可恶
      让我真的很生气!
      妈的,真他妈的不爽

    Chrysler Signs Deal With China's Chery

    Chery, the hope of Chinese automobile industry? 

     

    By JOE McDONALD 07.04.07, 12:45 PM ET

    The next Made-in-China export bound for the United States: cars.

    Chrysler Group signed a deal Wednesday with China's biggest automaker, Chery, to launch a low-cost production venture that could export the first Chinese-made cars to the United States.

    The first cars will reach Latin America or Eastern Europe within a year and models should be exported to North America and Western Europe in 2 1/2 years, said Chrysler CEO Tom LaSorda.

    "As part of the Chrysler Group's global transformation, we are finding new ways to bring vehicles to market faster, more efficiently and with less cost," LaSorda said at a signing ceremony.

    The alliance offers 10-year-old Chery Automobile Co., based in the eastern Chinese city of Wuhu, an opportunity to realize its longtime ambition of entering the U.S. market.

    Chinese automakers already export, mostly low-priced trucks and buses shipped to Africa and other developing markets. But analysts say they lack the technology to meet U.S. and European safety and pollution standards on their own.

    Chery CEO and Chairman Yin Tongyao said the deal will help Chery improve its skills as it tries to expand foreign sales of its own models.

    "Chery is still young, so we should learn from Chrysler and improve our own competitive edge in the near future," he said, calling LaSorda "my teacher in the automotive business."

    The first Chrysler-Chery export will be based on Chery's A1 compact and sold under the Dodge brand, LaSorda said.

    A 1.3-liter version of the A1 retails in China for 53,800-59,800 yuan (the equivalent of $7,100-$7,900). Export prices have not been announced.

    The companies will jointly develop future models, probably with Chrysler styling on a Chery platform, LaSorda and

    LaSorda said he had "no concerns at all" about convincing U.S. consumers that Chinese-made cars are safe at a time of warnings about seafood, tires and other goods imported from China. Chrysler will work closely with Chery to ensure the cars meet U.S. and European safety and emissions standards, he said.

    The agreement follows DaimlerChrysler AG (nyse: DCX - news - people )'s agreement in May to sell 80.1 percent of money-losing Chrysler to U.S. private equity group Cerberus Capital Management, freeing the parent company to focus on its truck and Mercedes luxury car lines.

    Major automakers have been aggressively expanding production in China, which overtook Japan last year to become the world's No. 2 vehicle market after the United States. But until now, most has focused on meeting red-hot local demand, which has made China a bright spot for U.S. automakers amid lackluster sales at home.

    Others also have announced plans to export Chinese-made cars to the United States but none has yet made it to market.

    A Chinese automaker, Changfeng Motor Co., said in January it hoped to sell sport-utility vehicles in the United States within two years but has given no details. Chery had a deal with American entrepreneur Malcolm Bricklin to sell cars in the U.S. market but that fell through.

    Japan's Honda Motor Co. (nyse: HMC - news - people ) has exported Chinese-built Jazz subcompacts to Europe since 2005.

    Last year, Chery reported sales of about 310,000 cars, with 40,000 of those exported. Its target this year is 390,000 cars, including 70,000 units sold abroad.

    The company assembles vehicles with partners in Iran, Malaysia, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil and Egypt. It announced plans in March to open a factory in Uruguay - its first in Latin America - with an Argentine partner.

    Total Chinese passenger car sales rose 37 percent last year to 3.8 million, while total vehicle sales rose 25.1 percent to 7.2 million, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. LaSorda said Chrysler picked Chery after looking at potential partners in Europe and Asia.

    "We researched the world and found they were the best," he said.

    Asked whether Chrysler was worried that the alliance might help Chery develop into a competitor that might threaten its U.S. partner, LaSorda told The Associated Press, "No, we're not. With us or without us, they're going to grow. So the question is, 'Are you going to go with a winner?'"

    The venture's production could reach several hundred thousand units a year, LaSorda said.

    "This is the start of a very long relationship between Chrysler and Chery," he said.

    (zz)TeX Resources on the Web (LaTeX and BibTeX)


    Recently, I am doing some research on LaTeX and BibTeX. With trying to extract metadata information from LaTeX, I have done much research and found many projects about it. Although, there are no suitable projects for me until now, but I would like to write a description about all such resources, until I found the following website today.
