AI's report on China's Human Right

This is a sentence from the report on death penalty in China, which I am translating, to be published by AI before the Olympics, Beijing 2008: "Nevertheless, it (a figure on the number of death penalty carried out in China) still accounts for 13 times the combined number of executions reported to have been carried out in the rest of the world in 2006.(30)" Well... while I agree there exist cases, which death penalty is abused by the local Chinese governments, this sentence is to me a complete mis-use of statistical figure - If we consider the population size in China, isn't it reasonable that this figure to be higher than the average? To be fair, we need to consider the number of criminals judged in all of the countries composing this world combined figure... P.S. "youtube is forbidden in mainland since 1 to 2 weeks" Somehow I should glad that I haven't got the offer in SH. I bet the salary will give me a big shock, and it is just out of my imagination how I can stay in such a place...

好擔心...

1)今日我個包租婆又同我講佢地睇的乜野戲... 又係虐殺... 點解有咁多戲好揀,要睇埋o的咁既野? 2)又開始成日同佢im... 如果唔係佢搵我講野,咁就仲驚,即係我搵野同佢講... 屈指一數,起碼5個人叫我唔好再諗佢,只有阿媽一個話佢正常。以客觀既角度黎睇,我又有o的乜野理由覺得全世界都錯,只有我一個o岩?

Bit Fall

Für mich ist das Video eine gute Hören-Übung. Besonders mag ich diesen Satz - "D.h. Die Dinge, die uns heute wichtig sind, könnt' morgen schon ganz anderes sein"

GuanDu Cycling Track 關渡腳踏車徑



GuanDu Cycling Track Posted by Picasa

今天帶了 Dennis 到關渡踩腳踏車。雖然那裡沒有很自然,風景也不錯的。我踩了五公里便喝了三瓶飲料。要減肥嗎?說說好了...
