Trump 的小三要告他 March 8, 2018

我總覺得,美國人對小三或小四這種事好像不怎麽在乎的樣子。同樣的,美國人對太太劈腿也好像見怪不怪,甚至無動於衷。大不了,離婚嗎。有什麽了不起?街上的廣告到處都是。

美國的電影和電視劇裏,這種事情多的是。男的出去吃個飯就可能跟別人一見鍾情,再見就連自己姓什麽都忘記了。女的跟同事去酒吧喝酒就可能節外生枝,進而紅杏出牆。

公司的同仁眉來眼去,打情罵俏,日久生情,進而喝酒,吃飯,約會。家中老小都忘的一幹二凈。這一類的劇情幾乎沒有那一個電影沒有,那一個電視劇中不來個一兩回。

美國總統家裏也不例外。

克林頓就是一個好例子。他從阿肯色州做州長就開始了,這種行為從不間斷。他的老婆扒著他不放,對他的婚外情是睜一隻眼,閉一只眼,變像的助長它的行為。這些事,大多數美國的選民都知道,卻閉著眼睛選他做總統。克林頓進了白宮也沒有改這個狗改不了吃屎的壞習慣。沒多久就跟一個年紀輕輕的實習生搞上了。最後東窗事發被共和黨的眾議院告了一狀,名留美國近代史。那他的太太呢?雖然她名爲美國的第一夫人,還不是要公然的忍受這種恥辱,風言風語的,讓天下的人看笑話。

美國的現任總統特朗普是另外一個好例子。他離婚兩次,結婚三次。手腳就從來沒有幹凈過。結果,前前後後有20個女生告過他。他的第三任太太剛剛生過小孩沒多久,他就跟一個妓女發生不尋常的關係。後來在競選美國總統時,還付錢要她住口,不能把他們中間的齷齪事抖出來,免得影響他競選美國總統的機會。

誰知道,現在那位風塵女郎卻要告特朗普。說給她錢,要她住口的事。這下可好了,說不定法官會要特朗普上臺和這位風塵女子當庭對質。最好再來個法庭上的盛況廣播,給全世界看笑話。

特朗普的第三任太太是模特兒出生。雖然她是一個受害者,她的臉卻沒有什麽地方可以放。世界上的人還不是一樣的笑她。可是特朗普有沒有受到什麼批評嗎?有沒有什麽自命清高的基督徒和天主教徒出來批評特朗普的道德操守不夠嗎?有沒有什麼自命清高的老學究和老師出來指責特朗普對美國的社會和美國的小孩子有不可彌補的效果嗎?

好像沒有吧。要不然就是我沒聽到。

看來美國人見怪不怪,只因為許多美國人也有一腿吧。

美國槍比人多,無可救藥 February 17, 2018

用”家常便飯”來形容美國時常發生的大屠殺 (mass murder) 可能有點過分。顧名思義,”家常便飯”是天天在家吃的便飯,像青菜,蘿蔔,豆腐和肉絲之類的菜。而”大屠殺”就算常常發生,也不到這麽頻繁的地步。

不過,話說回來,美國人對”大屠殺”這件事已經快要到家喻戶曉,麻木不仁的地步了。

美國人口:317 百萬

美國槍支:357 百萬 (Wa. Post 估計)

夠多了吧。

我們家從來沒有槍過。雖然我們曾經住過 Wyoming 和 Texas,美國最保守的兩個州,朋友也曾經邀請我去打靶練習,我都沒有想要擁有槍支和彈藥。我總覺得它是不詳之物。萬一有什麼事情發生,想要後悔是來不及的。

我們有一個朋友,他有一把手(氣)槍,還有一盒氣槍子彈 (每一個大概 3/8″ OD,3/4″ 長) 寄放在我們家。後來我們要搬家來臺灣的時候,把它交回去警察局了。雖然是一個氣槍,它還是蠻沉的,拿在手上很不習慣。

說實在的,我們在美國住了四十多年,常常在媒體上聽到不同槍支殺人的事故。譬如:謀殺親夫,殺害前妻,小三嫉妒,做死老闆,幫派火拼,失戀發瘋,警察殺黑人,黑人互殺,黑手黨争地盘,毒品分贓不勻,仇人報仇雪恨等等。這些槍殺案對我們來說,早已習以為常了,因為十幾,二十年前,在美國買隻手槍自衛,防身,保家簡直是太容易了。這是美國憲法賦予美國人的權利。是拿不走的,也是無法改變的。

“大屠殺”的事件還是近一,二十年的事。以前也有,不過並不頻繁。最近的”大屠殺”事件可以說是層出不絕,幾乎要成為家常便飯了。

“大屠殺”一發生,大家大不了花個一,兩分鍾,問一問在那發生的,殺人兇手是個什麽樣的人物,死了多少人,傷了多少人,殺人兇手死了沒有,如果沒死,有沒有抓到。至於為什麼殺人,沒有什麽人知道事實。就算知道,也沒有辦法預防,也沒有什麽人真正的關心。電視台在事發的當時,一定會以頭條新聞報個幾天。死的人越多,越有新聞價值。過了幾天,別的事發生了,”大屠殺”就失去了新聞價值,被別的新聞替代了。槍支控制的辯論就無疾而終了。

等到下一次”大屠殺”發生,美國又重來一次。周而復始,對美國人來說,已經沒什麽大不了了。

這就是一個無可救藥的美國。

Killing fields in the U.S.? February 17, 2018

You send your kids to schools so they can learn something. At least you hope so.

In the United States where number of guns out number the population, schools have become killing fields for school children.

Here we are in the middle of the February of 2018. For many, love is in the air, malls are packed with guys looking for that last-minute magic gifts and roses are on sale for $10 a dozen at roadside stands. The United States has already had 17 shootings or incidents at or around American’s schools.

Source: CNBC web site.

Isn’t this a record-breaking statistics! And no where on earth but in the United States of machine guns and bullets.

Sad, isn’t it?

Gun debates? They come and go like yo-yos: when there is a mass murder, gund debates heat up in the Congress and in public. White House will make a statement or two. Then the arguments die down between two shootings because nobody really care about the issue. Until the next one happens either in schools, churches or casinos.

This is American culture and. An American tradition. You better get use to it because another is coming.

好市多 vs Costco January 14, 2018

you know Costco well. Been there many times. Spent thousands of dollars buying steaks, baby back ribs, chicken breasts, milk, eggs, paper plates. toilet tissues, breads, cakes, paper towers, cokes, bottled water, fertilzers, grass seeds, shoes, socks, underwears, candies, chips, fresh vegetables, fruits, shrimp cocktails, salmon, paper plates, plastic cups, ziplock bags, TVs, cameras, PCs. Laptops and a lot of other items.

    A variety of sushi is sold here in nice packages.

    The meat section is standard any where you go.

    Just your regular Costco interior.

    But, have you ever bought any of these items from Costco or 好市多, as it is called in Taiwan.

    Take a look:

    This dish is so good that a buhhda will jump over the wall to get a taste.

    Famous 江浙菜 called mei gan kou rou.

    Octopus.

    Ramen Japanese style. Not instand noodle.

    Roast beef noodles Sichrun style.

    Lamb pot.

    Xiaolong bao.

    Mala soup.

    Pan fried beef cake.

    Northeast China sour cabbage hot pot.

    Ginger duck soup: very popular in the winter time.

    Braised beef briskets.

    Very expansive mixed seafood hot pot

    Fish head in clay pot. This picture looks bad.

    Braised pork belly.

    Lion’s heads: ground pork meat balls with Chinese cabbage.

    There you have it. Would you like to try them out? I haven’t.

    The dirty laundry continues to no end. It’s like the rag that wraps up rotten fish: 又臭又長,沒完沒了。

    No wonder. It begins from the guy in the White House (actually there had been a few starting way back in the 60’s) and kind of trickles down from there to the entire nation naturally. 


    It all makes perfect sense now. It is a distinguished trait of the country.

    Hm, what are other traits that come to mind?

    Divorces? Multiple marriages. Step siblings? “He’s not my father.”

    There is a good Chinese saying that describes this dirty mess fittingly:

    上樑不正下梁歪。

    Yeah, this is the UNITED States (of mind) of America.

    中國的古話還是非常有道理的。你說是不是?

    一個(女生)是耶魯和哈佛的畢業生。另外一個我不知道他是幹嗎的。只聽過他的名字。不過女生的媽媽說他(男生)只喜歡看棒球,一天看十個鐘頭的電視都可以。

    我只是不懂這個女生,雖然她有這麼高的學位,竟然連這麼簡單的一件事都搞不清楚?戀愛沖昏了頭?

    美國人結婚,離婚跟吃$80一客的”八角排骨臺鐵便當”一樣:沒什麽大不了。家常便飯是也。

    附註:八角不是滷豬耳朵的香料。裝便當的盒子是八角型的竹盒子,所以叫八角。豬排很嫰,很好吃,有一個滷蛋,土豆絲和雪裏紅。蓬萊米飯很軟,很便宜。這是閑話。見笑了。

    怎麼都是白男? November 20, 2017

    是不是我遺漏了一些報導,為什麼我覺得這一連串的醜聞都跟白男有關?

    這不但是美國女人大翻身的時代,也深深地顯示出美國實在是一個男女不平等的畸形社會。

    目前我們看到的只是影業界,政界和新聞界男男女女的大鬥爭。其實,美國大大小小的公司裏一定有相同的事情天天發生。她們什麼時候才能翻身呢?
