女儿说她们现在班上在做一个活动，班上同学分成几个小组乘船周游世界（当然是假装
），每个船上有captain和其他各种角色，老师是XX(teacher's name) Queen of
everything，老师只和Captain说话，我问她为什么，她说老师说She does not talk
to scums。
我一般不会在女儿面前批评老师，但是我觉得这个词不大合适，就问女儿这个词是不是
不太好，女儿说没有那么坏，大概就是指的peasants，当然女儿肯定是有些维护她的老
师的。
我回头查了一下，scum是一个很不好的词。

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scum
请问各位对于老师把这个词用在学生身上有什么看法？
说实话，我通过女儿的一些描述隐约感觉该老师有些dark side，比如之前在班上读的
书放的电影有些令人害怕。
我不想在女儿面前批评她的老师，因为对于她没有好处，不管她赞同还是不赞同我
的看法。但是我又不想女... 阅读全帖 |

如果此前你还怀疑石油输出国组织(OPEC)不减产的决心，那么这几天OPEC几大成员国
的轮番表态将这种预期击的粉碎。
最近这六周来，沙特、阿联酋和科威特的代表强调了无数次——OPEC不会减产，油
价跌到50美元甚至是20美元也不减产！所有国家中，卡塔尔对原油(48.25, -0.54, -1.
11%)市场供给过剩的预期最为悲观。
去年油价跌了48%，其中年底跌幅最大，OPEC在11月27的会议上决定不减产后油价
跌了34%。
巴克莱和西德商业银行认为，这些国家实际上是希望油价进一步下跌，以期加速美
国页岩油厂商退出市场。
“他们似乎认为油价跌的快比跌得慢好，急跌可能会给非OPEC国家带来更多的变数
，慢跌可以给其他国家喘息之机，他们可以考虑合并然后变得更有效率。”巴克莱分析
师Miswin Mahesh对彭博表示。
彭博还引述顾问公司IHS的分析师Jamie Webster称，油价跌的越惨，你就会越快看

在奥克兰市中心遇劫并被枪杀。奥克兰警方透露劫犯带着抢来的17美元逃离现场，奥克
兰警察局并悬红两万元，呼吁知情民众提供线索。
现年45岁的康景洪是佛吉尼亚州费尔法克斯市（Fairfax）居民，他目前在马里兰
州的一家电脑公司工作。此次专程飞来湾区，应征硅谷山景城谷歌公司的工作。
事发当晚，康景洪到奥克兰19街夹Webster街交界处的一间牙科诊所，由当牙医助
理的一位女性朋友帮忙洗牙，准备第二天以新面貌去面试。两人曾是同一间教会的教友
而相识，他们在晚间11时30分离开诊所，女性朋友帮忙康景洪从卫星定位系统中找到回
中半岛旅馆的路，这时突然遇到两名非裔上前打劫。
警察局发言人托马斯透露，两位受害人依据劫匪指令趴在地上，女受害人听到一声
枪响，意识到身边的康景洪已经中弹，在警方赶到时，他已经当场死亡。托马斯表示，
初步显示犯案动机是意图抢劫，嫌犯和死者幷不相识，没有迹象显示死者反抗，死者还
将身上的17元现金递给嫌犯，但却依然被射杀。
死者身后留下妻子和三个年龄分别为10岁、12岁和17岁的儿子 |
