瞬间与永恒

若干年前，听王朔和姜文大谈爱情之短暂，觉得真是知音。也觉得自己也真的是蛮成熟的。

我不懂佛教，但相信佛教中应该有这样的说法，瞬间就是永恒，永恒就是瞬间。

相爱过，即便是很短的时间，不也会咀嚼一生吗？

附:
最近看到一篇文章，说统计指出，无论是由爱情产生的婚姻还是其它什么产生的婚姻，其幸福指数都是相似的。

禽流感(Avian Influenza或称Bird Flu)

禽流感正在以不可遏制的速度在扩散。以世界卫生组织的观点，从禽到人变异到人到人是早晚要发生的，只是现在不能确定什么时间会发生。
到CDC(疾病防治中心)查了一些资料。
What is avian influenza (bird flu)?
Bird flu is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These flu viruses occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them. However, bird flu is very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys, very sick and kill them.
Do bird flu viruses infect humans?
Bird flu viruses do not usually infect humans, but several cases of human infection with bird flu viruses have occurred since 1997.
How are bird flu viruses different from human flu viruses?
There are many different subtypes of type A influenza viruses. These subtypes differ because of certain proteins on the surface of the influenza A virus (hemagglutinin [HA] and neuraminidase [NA] proteins). There are 16 different HA subtypes and 9 different NA subtypes of flu A viruses. Many different combinations of HA and NA proteins are possible. Each combination is a different subtype. All known subtypes of flu A viruses can be found in birds. However, when we talk about “bird flu” viruses, we are referring to influenza A subtypes chiefly found in birds. They do not usually infect humans, even though we know they can. When we talk about “human flu viruses” we are referring to those subtypes that occur widely in humans. There are only three known A subtypes of human flu viruses (H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2); it is likely that some genetic parts of current human influenza A viruses came from birds originally. Influenza A viruses are constantly changing, and they might adapt over time to infect and spread among humans.
我们现在最关心的就是Avian Influenza A (H5N1) Virus。
What are the symptoms of bird flu in humans?
Symptoms of bird flu in humans have ranged from typical flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat and muscle aches) to eye infections, pneumonia, severe respiratory diseases (such as acute respiratory distress), and other severe and life-threatening complications. The symptoms of bird flu may depend on which virus caused the infection.
症状从很象典型的流感(发烧，咳嗽，嗓子疼和肌肉痛)到眼睛感染，肺炎，严重呼吸道疾病以及其它致命的并发症。
How is bird flu in humans treated?
Studies done in laboratories suggest that the prescription medicines approved for human flu viruses should work in preventing bird flu infection in humans. However, flu viruses can become resistant to these drugs, so these medications may not always work. Additional studies are needed to prove the effectiveness of these medicines.
别太相信那些灵丹妙药。
What is the risk to humans from bird flu?
The risk from bird flu is generally low to most people because the viruses occur mainly among birds and do not usually infect humans. However, during an outbreak of bird flu among poultry (domesticated chicken, ducks, turkeys), there is a possible risk to people who have contact with infected birds or surfaces that have been contaminated with excretions from infected birds. The current outbreak of avian influenza A (H5N1) among poultry in Asia and Europe is an example of a bird flu outbreak that has caused human infections and deaths. In such situations, people should avoid contact with infected birds or contaminated surfaces, and should be careful when handling and cooking poultry. In rare instances, limited human-to-human spread of H5N1 virus has occurred, and transmission has not been observed to continue beyond one person.
What is the risk to humans from the H5N1 virus in Asia and Europe?
The H5N1 virus does not usually infect humans. In 1997. However, the first case of spread from a bird to a human was seen during an outbreak of bird flu in poultry in Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region. The virus caused severe respiratory illness in 18 people, 6 of whom died. Since that time, there have been other cases of H5N1 infection among humans. Recent human cases of H5N1 infection that have occurred in Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam have coincided with large H5N1 outbreaks in poultry. The World Health Organization (WHO) also has reported human cases in Indonesia. Most of these cases have occurred from contact with infected poultry or contaminated surfaces; however, it is thought that a few cases of human-to-human spread of H5N1 have occurred. So far, spread of H5N1 virus from person to person has been rare and has not continued beyond one person. However, because all influenza viruses have the ability to change, scientists are concerned that the H5N1 virus one day could be able to infect humans and spread easily from one person to another. Because these viruses do not commonly infect humans, there is little or no immune protection against them in the human population. If the H5N1 virus were able to infect people and spread easily from person to person, an influenza pandemic (worldwide outbreak of disease) could begin. No one can predict when a pandemic might occur. However, experts from around the world are watching the H5N1 situation in Asia very closely and are preparing for the possibility that the virus may begin to spread more easily and widely from person to person.
我们人类没有对H5N1的免疫能力。
Is there a vaccine to protect humans from H5N1 virus?
There currently is no commercially available vaccine to protect humans against the H5N1 virus that is being seen in Asia and Europe . However, vaccine development efforts are taking place. Research studies to test a vaccine to protect humans against H5N1 virus began in April 2005, and a series of clinical trials is underway.
听说中国在该疫苗的研究上取得了很大的进展。希望能尽快出产品。

温暖的家

最近和一个刚买房的朋友闲谈。他提到最近他有点不象以前下班后就急急忙忙的往家赶了。我很诧异，新家啊！他说刚买房，各项开支都很大，挺不适应的。而且今年GAS贵，他太太将家里暖气的温度调得挺低的。回家后觉得很冷。与其回家冻着，还不如在办公室暖暖乎乎的呆着。
What a reason! 仔细想想，也不是完全没有道理。一般人租房时，总是要求房东把房子烧得暖暖的(在纽约一般暖气是包在房租里的)。自己买房后才发现暖气费真的是挺多的。
只是家应该是每个人下班后最向往的地方，冬天应该有个暖暖乎乎的家，夏天应该有个凉凉快快的家在等着我们。我们辛辛苦苦的工作不就是为了这样的一个家吗？

阎连科的《为人民服务》

据说在中国这是一本禁书。既然是禁书，就一定有禁它的理由，也就给了我们这些没事找事的人的一点痛着的乐趣。
女人在男人面前，没有不崇高的灵魂；男人在女人面前，只有不健康的思想。
酒是白酒，烈得很，老远都能闻到那毒辣的酒香。歌是革命歌曲，也毒辣异常，听了就让人身上有血液狂奔的感觉。
这时候，吴大旺看见他的右脚下面，有碗一样的一个脚坑，黄土血淋淋地裸在外面，生土的气息，在凉爽的空气中，鲜明而生动。有几株抓地龙的野草棵，伤痕累累，青骨鳞鳞地散在那个脚窝里。
不知道是人生就是游戏，还是游戏替代了人生。再或是，游戏与人生，你中有我，我中有你，其结果就是合二为一。不知道人是社会的角色，社会是人的舞台，还是因为社会就是舞台，人就必须成为角色。不知道是因为爱情之美，必然会导致到疯狂的性的到来，还是因为性的本质之美，必须会导致爱从无到有的产生。河流着，它不需要知道水的源头在哪儿；水流着，它也不需要知道河是为它而生，因为它的到来，河才完成了从无到有的成形。有些事情，前因后果不需要刨根问底，发生了也就发生了，无来由地来，也无来由地去。
爱情不是游戏，可爱情又哪能不是游戏。没有游戏，又哪有爱情。游戏之爱，像蝴蝶、蜜蜂飞在菜园样在他们中间飞来落去，又落去飞来。
爱情的波涛什么时候在各自的内心开始逐渐地退潮，一种伟大的神圣，开始变得日常起来，就像一块圣洁的白布，终于踏上了成为抹布的旅途。或者说，一张白纸上，开始有了不为绘画而精心表现的随意的涂抹。墨迹的颜色，已经取代了白纸的光洁，成为白纸的主角。
仔细推敲，人生就是锅碗变飘勺，阴差又阳错，除此没有更新的东西和设备。
