| 迎奥运北京整治“中式英语” |
根据全球语言监督机构的最新报告，英语正在经历历史上从未有过的变革，究其原因是受到全球化大环境下中国式英语的强烈冲击。

只能碰不能吃的世界最辣辣椒
近日，英国多西特郡出产的一种据说“会把脑袋辣掉”的红辣椒，被美国香辛料贸易协会认定为“世界上最辣的红辣椒”。
据《每日电讯》报道，多西特郡出产的这种名为“纳加”的红辣椒实在太辣了，种植它的人在拨辣椒皮进行播种时不得不带上手套，且身体必须处在上风位置，眼睛才不至于被刺痛。琼伊·米乔德与丈夫迈克尔·米乔德在西贝克星顿种植这种红辣椒，她说：“这种东西我不会吃的，但是有些人肯定会喜欢。”

这是塞巴斯蒂安?特龙对未来日常交通的设想，到那时我们都有一个机器人司机替我们开车。特龙教授认为，开车的现实情况与广告所宣称开车所带来的自由有很大差距。

| 花旗损失无法估计-华尔街日报 |
当今夏抵押证券市场陷入危机之时，那些持有数百亿此类资产的金融企业用数学模型对这些无人问津的证券进行了定价，而这种模型相当倚重债券的信用评级。从上个月开始，评级公司开始对债券评级进行大规模下调，这样一来，像花旗集团(Citigroup Inc.)和美林公司(Merrill Lynch & Co.)这样的企业就只能眼睁睁地看着自己的资产大幅缩水了。
花旗正准备宣布再冲减一定数目的抵押贷款相关证券资产，由此可见此前的数学模型存在怎样的漏洞以及随之引发的后果是多么严重。花旗(11/05/2007 21:05:29,44) [查看全文] |
