非常感谢，伊莲……我们非常感谢来自你家庭的服务和牺牲，我们永远支持你。
过去的几年来，借由作为第一夫人的非凡殊荣，我几乎游遍了整个美国。
而无论我去到哪里，从我所见到的人们，所听到的故事中，我都看到了最真切的美国精
神。
在人们对我和我的家庭，特别是我的女儿们那难以置信的友善和热情中，我看到了它。
在一个濒临破产的学区的教师们不收分文、坚持执教的誓言中，我看到了它。
在人们在突如其来的紧急召唤下化身英雄，纵身扑向灾害去拯救他人……飞过整个国家
去扑灭大火……驱车数小时去援助被淹没的城镇时，我看到了它。
在我们身着军装的男女军人和自豪的军属身上……在受伤的战士们告诉我他们不仅会再
次站立行走，而是会奔跑，甚至参加马拉松时……在一位于阿富汗因炸弹而失明的年轻
人“……为了我所做的和我还将要做的，我宁愿失去我的眼睛一百次。”这样轻描淡写
的话语中，我看到了它。
每一天，我所见到的人们都鼓舞着我……每一天，他们都令我骄傲……每一天，他们都
在提醒我，能够生活在这地球上最伟大的国度中是多么的幸福。
成为诸位的第一夫人，是我的荣耀和幸运……但当我们四年前首次聚在一起的时候... 阅读全帖 |

Ten Things Everyone Should Know About Time
by Sean
“Time” is the most used noun in the English language, yet it remains a
mystery. We’ve just completed an amazingly intense and rewarding
multidisciplinary conference on the nature of time, and my brain is swimming
with ideas and new questions. Rather than trying a summary (the talks will
be online soon), here’s my stab at a top ten list partly inspired by our

这个问题有点闹心。
什么叫一秒？是一小时的1/3600，一天24小时，一年365天。
可见时间是由地球绕日头决定的。
那我要问：外星球呢？年和天一定不同于地球，因此会有不同
的时间概念。
这也解释了为什么天上一天地上一年的神话，根本就不是同一
时间系统，不一定是什么相对论的问题。
还有，在蚂蚁看来，人的一秒像它们的一分钟，你认为蚂蚁活得短，
那乌龟还认为人活得太短了呢。动作越慢的动物，相对时间活得更长。
时间不是绝对的，是你的感觉而已。
再往深了说，时间是不存在的，是因为你感知了周围变化才有时间
的概念，一旦什么都不变了，时间就停止了，呵呵，但愿你能理解。
总之，干什么事慢点，长寿，但别停干事，至少要喘气，好让时间走。

points.
Perhaps most disconcerting for Cruz, Trump has a nine point national edge
among white evangelicals, a voter base the Texas senator should by all
rights dominate. Trump is also only 3 points behind Cruz among voters who
