那宫女问：“先生平生在什么地方最是快乐？”
虚竹轻叹一声，说道：“在一个黑暗的冰窖之中。”
梦姑和梦郎的故事，任何喜爱金庸的人都应该知道，没必要在这里重复。本文所讲的第
一个段子，是马马虎虎可以看作同北宋西夏大理大致同时代的，发生在阿拉伯民间传说
中的梦郎和梦姑。这就是前面几篇反复提到的“戛梅禄太子和白都伦公主的故事”。在
这个故事当中，某仙女和某妖魔为争论远隔万里的太子和公主谁更漂亮，遂将熟睡中的
公主放到太子旁边，比较一番之后又将公主送回其遥远的宫殿。不知是不幸还是万幸，
在这短短几个时辰的同床共处当中，王子和公主各自醒来了一次，倾慕于对方美貌的同
时，还交换了戒指。过程总体来说，属于盖棉被纯聊天--其实连聊天都不曾发生，甚至
彼此都没有把对方弄醒，尽管白都伦公主对她的情郎动手动脚（纳训的中文版中删掉了
，上一篇讨论过）。虽然王子和公主在那一夜不曾象虚竹和西夏公主那样发生实质性的
关系，但如同后者一般，戛梅禄和白都伦都将彼此铭刻于心，并付诸行动来找寻对方，
最后终成眷属。需要打一点儿折扣的是，同白都伦成其好事之后，戛梅禄还娶了另一... 阅读全帖 |

The stirrup was one of the milestones in saddle development. The first

consisted of a simple leather strap in which the rider's toe was placed. It
offered very little support, however. The nomadic tribes in northern China
are thought to have been the inventors of the modern stirrup, but the first
dependable representation of a rider with paired stirrups was found in China
in a Jin Dynasty tomb of about AD 302.[1... 阅读全帖 |

其实也都是错误的。如果你坚持你的论点，你至少需要仔细思考一下你的论据。
1）英文其实不是言文一致的。英文本身不能完全显示发音，所以需要音标。比如comb,
bomb, tomb, combe, 你还是得背发音。某些语言的文字倒是可以完全表音，甚至重音
都基本确定。但並不見得比英语好。
你最多可以说英文对于发音的提示更多更好。但是一点差别就能让人听不懂。英语重音
很重要，重音位置不对，别人也很难听懂你，元音发音有错误反而对理解影响不大，这
是老印的英语能被理解的主要原因。而华人的英语元音一般发得更好，但是辅音发得不
好，重音位置错误。
实际上，不说读写，只说听说，中文的“容错性”比英文更好。也就是说你发音有小错
误，仍然能理解。比如很多方言味道和老外说的汉语，其实每个音调都是错的，但是仍
然能理解，对重音要求也不高。而英语的听说对发音和重音位置的要求更高。
2）为什么高级先进的语言读法和写法不能分离呢？

一个鲜为人知的事实是，美联储是完全私人性质的中央银行。政府在美联储占有
的股份是零，美国政府根本没有货币发行权（不像英国的私人中央银行，英格兰银行
，政府还始终保持20%的股份）！1963年肯尼迪总统遇刺后，美国政府最终丧失了仅
剩的“白银美元”的发行权。美国政府要想得到美元，就必须将美国人民的未来税收
(国债)，抵押给私有的美联储(Federal Reserve)，由美联储来发行“美联储券”，
这就是“美元”。
美国将中央银行称为“美联储”，也颇有一段来历。由于18世纪末期，中央银行的名
