Time magazine was created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the United States.[2] The two had previously worked together as chairman and managing editor of the Yale Daily News and considered calling the magazine Facts.[3] Hadden was a rather carefree figure, who liked to tease Luce and saw Time as something important but also fun. That accounts for its tone, which many people still criticize as too light for serious news and more suited to its heavy coverage of celebrities (including politicians), the entertainment industry, and pop culture. It set out to tell the news through people, and for many decades the magazine's cover was of a single person. The first issue of Time was published on March 2, 1923, featuring on its cover Joseph G. Cannon, the retired Speaker of the United States House of Representatives; a facsimile reprint of Issue No. 1, including all of the articles and advertisements contained in the original, was included with copies of the February 28, 1938 issue as a commemoration of the magazine's 15th anniversary.[4] On Hadden's death in 1929, Luce became the dominant man at Time and a major figure in the history of 20th-century media. According to Time Inc.: The Intimate History of a Publishing Enterprise 1972–2004 by Robert Elson, "Roy Edward Larsen […] was to play a role second only to Luce's in the development of Time Inc." In his book, The March of Time, 1935–1951, Raymond Fielding also noted that Larsen was "originally circulation manager and then general manager of Time, later publisher of Life, for many years president of Time, Inc., and in the long history of the corporation the most influential and important figure after Luce."Around the time they were raising US$100,000 from rich Yale alumni like Henry P. Davison, partner of . Morgan & Co., publicity man Martin Egan and . Morgan & Co. banker Dwight Morrow, Henry Luce and Briton Hadden hired Larsen in 1922 – although Larsen was a Harvard graduate and Luce and Hadden were Yale graduates. After Hadden died in 1929, Larsen purchased 550 shares of Time Inc., using money he obtained from selling RKO stock which he had inherited from his father, who was the head of the . Keith theatre chain in New England. However, after Briton Hadden's death, the largest Time Inc. stockholder was Henry Luce, who ruled the media conglomerate in an autocratic fashion, "at his right hand was Larsen," Time Inc.'s second-largest stockholder, according to "Time Inc.: The Intimate History of a Publishing Enterprise 1923–1941". In 1929, Roy Larsen was also named a Time Inc. director and a Time Inc. vice-president. . Morgan retained a certain control through two directorates and a share of stocks, both over Time and Fortune. Other shareholders were Brown Brothers W. A. Harriman & Co., and The New York Trust Company (Standard Oil).By the time of Henry Luce's death in 1967, the Time Inc. stock which Luce owned was worth about US$109 million and yielded him a yearly dividend income of more than US$ million, according to The World of Time Inc: The Intimate History Of A Changing Enterprise 1960–1989 by Curtis Prendergast. The value of the Larsen family's Time Inc. stock was now worth about $80 million during the 1960s and Roy Larsen was both a Time Inc. director and the chairman of its Executive Committee, before serving as Time Inc.'s vice-chairman of the board until the middle of 1979. According to the September 10, 1979 issue of The New York Times, "Mr. Larsen was the only employee in the company's history given an exemption from its policy of mandatory retirement at age 65."After Time magazine began publishing its weekly issues in March 1923, Roy Larsen was able to increase its circulation by utilizing . radio and movie theaters around the world. It often promoted both "Time" magazine and . political and corporate interests. According to The March of Time, as early as 1924, Larsen had brought Time into the infant radio business with the broadcast of a 15-minute sustaining quiz show entitled Pop Question which survived until 1925." Then, according to the same book, "In 1928 […] Larsen undertook the weekly broadcast of a 10-minute programme series of brief news summaries, drawn from current issues of Time magazine […] which was originally broadcast over 33 stations throughout the United States."Larsen next arranged for a 30-minute radio programme, The March of Time, to be broadcast over CBS, beginning on March 6, 1931. Each week, the programme presented a dramatisation of the week's news for its listeners, thus Time magazine itself was brought "to the attention of millions previously unaware of its existence," according to Time Inc.: The Intimate History Of A Publishing Enterprise 1923–1941, leading to an increased circulation of the magazine during the 1930s. Between 1931 and 1937, Larsen's The March of Time radio programme was broadcast over CBS radio and between 1937 and 1945 it was broadcast over NBC radio – except for the 1939 to 1941 period when it was not aired. People Magazine was based on Time's People became part of Time Warner in 1989 when Warner Communications and Time, Inc. merged. Jason McManus succeeded Henry Grunwald in 1988 as Editor-in-Chief and oversaw the transition before Norman Pearlstine succeeded him in 1995.[edit] 2000sSince 2000, the magazine has been part of AOL Time Warner, which subsequently reverted to the name Time Warner in 2007, Time moved from a Monday subscription/newsstand delivery to a schedule where the magazine goes on sale Fridays, and is delivered to subscribers on Saturday. The magazine actually began in 1923 with Friday early 2007, the year's first issue was delayed for approximately a week due to "editorial changes." The changes included the job losses of 49 employees.[5]In 2009, Time announced that they were introducing a personalised print magazine, Mine, mixing content from a range of Time Warner publications based on the reader's preferences. The new magazine met with a poor reception, with criticism that its focus was too broad to be truly personal.[6]
知情同意是在自由民主和医学伦理实践的核心概念。这是一个原因，一个新的报告说，2006和2010之间，至少有148名妇女进行消毒，在加利福尼亚非法监狱应该深深地打扰我们。.
你好翻译如下Informed consent is a concept at the core of both liberal democracy and the ethical practice of medicine. 知情同意（病人的知情首肯）是自由民主和医学伦理实践的核心概念。That is just one reason why a new report that, between 2006 and 2010, at least 148 women were sterilized illegally in California prisons should deeply disturb us.这就是在2006至2010年间，在加州监狱至少有148妇女被非法绝育这个报道会使我们感到深切的不安的原因之一。
美国《时代》周刊亚洲版2003年3月1日一期文章：酷杰伦（作者：凯特·德雷克 / Kate Drake） 原文内容提要：他的老师曾经误认为他是哑巴。偶像制作人曾经觉得他太丑了。但是周杰伦却已然成为了亚洲最炙手可热的流行歌星。 没有丝绸锦缎的布景，没有复古超酷的摩托车，没有为他的演唱会而尖叫不已的歌迷，也没有拜倒在他的钢琴前顶礼膜拜的少女--周杰伦的"Alfa Music"音乐工作室位于台北东部的一幢灰色的高层建筑中，在皮质沙发和蓝绿色的墙壁之间，只有窄窄的一小块淡黄色地板。这里完全是周杰伦的世界，在一次又一次的演唱会中间，他可以在这里蜷成一团，躺在地板上，打个盹，或者是反反复复地捉摸着调子和歌词。创作新歌时，他总是先抓住梦中零零散散的曲子，然后把自己从梦中叫醒，用钢琴把曲子复述出来，再结结巴巴地配上歌词，最后再将这些夜里的吟唱整理成单曲或是制作成样带。 在整整两年的时间里，周杰伦都是一位以每首600美元的价钱写歌的签约作曲人，为那些音乐天赋比较差、却更加英俊或是漂亮的歌手创作一首又一首的歌曲，他甚至都很少离开他的这间音乐工作室。写出主旋律，再编好和声，接着在"外买菜单"的后面写下歌词；最后，在工作以及自己音乐才能的尽情倾泻中精疲力尽的他，会一头扎进被子里睡去，又在梦里魔法般地酝酿着下一首歌曲。整天吃蛋糕和炸鸡的周杰伦，此时所梦想的并不是成为一位流行乐歌星，而是一个音乐制作人。 披头士乐队有深洞俱乐部（Cavern Club），猫王有太阳音乐室（Sun Studios），性手枪乐队有100俱乐部（100 Club）；而对于周杰伦来说，Alfa Music就是他的音乐基地。在这里，他尝试自己的音乐理念，总结自己的音乐理论，发掘如何使自己的歌充满激情而且令人过耳不忘。渐渐的，他明白了，比起外貌、动作和形象来说，音乐才是最重要的东西。他目睹了太多的偶像歌手你来我往：拿不准调的帅哥、天分不够的女星以及按舞姿而不是声部挑选成员而组成的少男组合等等。他发现，能够令歌手为歌迷牢记、令他自己显得与众不同的，只能是歌曲本身。 而这些想法对于从台湾到香港再到新加坡的整个华语音乐商界来说，显得那么地标新立异。在玩世不恭、变幻无常的华语流行音乐界里，24岁的非偶像歌手周杰伦的存在，本身就是一个奇迹。大多数的偶像男歌星几乎都出身于音乐世家，从小到大都出手阔绰，最终的形象总是柔弱英俊、女里女气的。他们都会得到一首量身定做的好歌，再经过程式化的商业包装，如果幸运的话，他们还能得到电影导演或是广告制作人的青睐，走上演艺道路。 那么，这位貌不惊人的小伙子--并不整齐的牙齿、鹰钩鼻子、尖下巴颏--是怎样取代那些谢什么、刘什么、张什么的，成为亚洲最炙手可热的流行歌星的呢？一切都源于那间简简单单的音乐工作室，那段艰苦岁月的磨练，那些歌曲，以及那个"音乐最重要"的革命性观念。"即使是我身边的那些女歌迷们，也不会说我帅，"周杰伦解释说，"她们只是告诉我，喜欢我的音乐。是我的音乐吸引了她们。" 自2000年11月他的首张专辑"周杰伦同名专辑"问世之后，周杰伦的音乐便开始支配着或是改变着整个亚洲流行音乐界的发展方向。他的首张专辑里的10首歌曲，有的激情澎湃，有的充满思想，有的是感性之至的情歌，平缓和谐、娓娓道来的曲风令克雷格·大卫 （Craig David）都不禁为之动容。尽管他的歌全部都是国语歌词，但是无论是在他的老家台湾，还在在内地、香港、马来西亚以及新加坡，他的专辑都轻而易举地获得了两白金或是三白金的成绩。 在最近的"MTV亚洲音乐盛典"中，他被评选为了"台湾最受欢迎男歌手"。香港媒体把他称作是"小天王"，尽管周杰伦本人并不喜欢这样的头衔。他最近还曾经在拉斯维加斯的米高梅秀场(MGM Grand Garden Arena)演出，有超过一万名的观众慕名而来。数家大公司给他送来了赞助合同，这其中包括百事（中国）公司以及香港的电讯盈科（PCCW）公司，松下公司也已经请他出任自己一款新型手机的代言人。 还是一个男孩时，周杰伦被认为是有一些迟钝，或者说是，"愚蠢"。他的高中英语老师苏埃伦说他的学习能力很差："周杰伦很少有面部表情，我还曾经以为他是个哑巴呢。"这个孩子不对数学感兴趣，也不对物理、化学感兴趣，更加不愿为英语作业烦恼。但是他的母亲发现这个安静、害羞的男孩似乎总是会随着自己播放的西方流行音乐而摇摇摆摆。 "在没学会走路时，他便对音乐非常敏感。"周妈妈回忆说。于是，周妈妈在杰伦四岁时便把他送进了钢琴学校。他真的可以弹。他像着了魔似的练习，像同龄孩子喜欢冰激凌那样地喜欢键盘。在他十几岁时，他的创造才华已经超过了他的年龄。"一次，他用钢琴来演奏一首非常庄严肃穆的歌曲，"周杰伦高中的钢琴教师陈查理说，"但是却把它变成了一段有趣、调皮的曲子。" 在钢琴室之外，周杰伦与常人无异，喜欢看功夫电影，喜欢玩电子游戏。当其他的孩子为了升学考试而刻苦读书时，周杰伦却经常翘课，把更多的时间用在了自己的"音乐象牙塔"上。似乎，他将一事无成。音乐吗？如果你出身于台湾的中产阶层家庭的话，数学、自然科学、工程学以及电脑编程才是你的生存之道。音乐呢？那只是名门之后的阔少爷们的事情，而与林口长大的孩子毫无关系，换句话说，与周杰伦毫无关系。随后，他名落孙山，而且就快要被抛进残酷的现实世界里。他或许会成为一个天然气工人，或者是，幸运的话，在你的面前推销电子琴。 但是，音乐始终是影响周杰伦一生的东西。音乐拯救了他。音乐使他升华。音乐是他的救世主，他的幸运星。音乐是他唯一所拥有的东西。甚至在周杰伦自己还在迷茫的时候，音乐已经在为他安排人生，周杰伦还不知道自己的和声天赋究竟有多大的价值。 偶然的机会中，他陪一个低年级的女孩参加台湾的"超级新人王"节目，结果受到了Alfa音乐室的主人、台湾制作人吴宗宪的注意。吴宗宪在回忆起第一次见到周杰伦时的情景时，说道："我的第一印象是他太害羞了，太安静了。我甚至以为他有些迟钝。"周杰伦的音乐打动了吴宗宪，但是吴宗宪当时所想的，不过是把他当作了一个词曲作家而已。"我并不认为周杰伦能够成为一名演艺人员，"吴宗宪承认说，"因为他不是很英俊。" 随后，又一位知名音乐制作人发现了周杰伦的音乐才华，在听过周杰伦的歌声后，决定为他制作一张专辑。至此，在一夜之间，周杰伦从一个默默无闻的小音乐人变成了一位歌星；那么突然，那么快，以至于周杰伦自己都有点受宠若惊。 在谈到音乐时，周杰伦说，自己的音乐就像是魔法，它应该是多样化的，应该是短促、多变而又发散的。"这是我的魔法。"他又说了一遍，认真而诚恳地看着你，仿佛他很需要你去理解这一切。"我的人生哲学是，无论做什么事，你都不能一直追随别人。走自己的路，知道吗？"他说。 似乎周杰伦并不是将R&B音乐引进台湾的第一批音乐人，陶喆和王力宏在他之前便已经有所尝试，但是直至周杰伦出道后，R&B歌手才开始真正地占据台湾的音乐界。"毫无疑问，周杰伦正在引导着音乐的发展方向，"香港音乐评论家方赖齐（音）说。他在音乐写作以及演唱上的成功为他带来了大量的模仿者。 在美国米高梅公司大剧场的演出之后，周杰伦懒洋洋地坐在一家中餐馆里。他还是戴着他那件汗渍渍的棒球帽，穿着磨破了的牛仔衫。看起来，他好像略有所思，似乎他也被自己已经取得的巨大成功而吃惊不已。实际上，还有很多领域需要这个演艺界的亚历山大去征服，包括：电视，电影，走向全球，进军美国等等。但是周杰伦似乎对英语学习不以为然，也不感兴趣于找他拍电影的导演；最终，他已经习惯了名气给他带来的一切。他已经开始融入了自己的角色，他的人生哲学已经指引他走了这么远，他早已学会了相信自己。 这位24岁的巨星还要学会做很多事情，各种商业化的力量还要牵着他去拍这样的广告、那样的杂志封面等等。R&B还是说唱？耐克还是阿迪达斯？他摇了摇头，他想做的第一件事便是回到自己在台北的音乐室，躺在沙发上，打个小盹，在梦中吟唱出更多的魔幻音乐。 中国网2003年3月17日
一个公平的警察 汤姆 杜瑟维 星期一， 05年7月25日 路易丝 卡勒 斯赖 认为，自己是蒙达的女王。当地警察的领袖， 这位32岁的新西兰警官可以行使极大的权威。作为新乔治亚群岛在当地的唯一携带手枪的人，（新乔治亚群岛曾以持枪抢劫的猎头闻名）在当地理论上卡勒有着毛泽东式的权威。她通常由两个漂亮的汤加同事伴随着，无论去哪别人都问候她路易斯或者警长。但是，她的秘密知足是 6000公里的丰盛湾，她突然发现，她的目标、信任和归属感足在于湛蓝的水域，茂密的大森林和这人间天堂上面的天空。 先翻译这么一点，呵呵她帝王般的宁静有时会受到考验。例如，她已众所周知，将一辆四轮驱动车弄入了泻湖，或当她要爬上一条小船时结果弄翻而全身湿透。当发生这种情况，她总是破口大骂。然后，她又禁不住大笑。这是一个精力充沛的警察中，在她7年的工作中，一直渴望着战斗和责任，而不是考虑自己的利益。对笑起来满脸雀斑的她来说，这个哨所，和周围的岛屿，是一个了不起的地方-“神奇的穆达， ”她现在这么称呼它。 “但是你可以很容易被孤立并觉得痛苦在这里， ”她说，回顾她去年4月的第一印象，当她抵达这个她一无所知的慵懒的沿海小镇并度过将来的三个月-并且那天有着雨云。蒙达是不是一个明显的威胁，也没有时间表和急速行动。而要求的处事风格却更加微妙，即使问题不是：土地所有权纠纷，家庭暴力，酗酒和性虐待。在这里是谈判，对文化的感应性和信任才是最重要的。先吃个饭。呵呵 再弄
Can the PC Industry Resurrect itself?电脑行业能自我救赎吗？While PC vendors are quite cognizant of the shift in consumer buying trends for PCs, they are not about to give up without a fight. Almost all are trying to do tablets of their own and some, like Lenovo, are even doing smartphones and have actually done quite well in the Asian and Chinese smartphone markets. I think that reality has sunk in for the vendors, and they now understand that the market for laptops and PCs in the $699-$999 price point are being marginalized.当电脑供应商高度认知到客户购买电脑的趋势在变化时，他们没打算放弃竞争。大部分的供应商都试图打造自己的平板电脑品牌。比如联想，同时还在做智能手机，实际上在亚洲市场和中国市场联想也都做的不错。我认为事实上供应商们已经很认同了，他们现在完全明白定价在699美元到999美元之间的笔记本电脑和个人电脑已经边缘化了（即产品认可度大大下降的意思）。The good news is that there is still healthy demand for upscale laptops and PCs in the $1099-$1499 price range. But demand for these is mostly in the IT, business and SMB market, a much smaller market than the consumer sector. Even though volume in these is smaller than those that sell into the consumer market, the margins are good, so these vendors are happy with what they call the premium market for PCs. However, they are also shifting much of their efforts to creating low cost clamshell-based laptops and tablets with very aggressive pricing, and hope to use these to entice millions of PC users who have tablets but still need a PC for some tasks to upgrade their current PCs to more up-to-date touch-based models.而好消息是价位在1099美元~1499美元间的性价比高的笔记本和PC仍有合理的需求。但这类需求主要是在IT行业，商业以及中小企业 - 一个更小众的市场和用户区间。虽然这些行业的需求量比常规用户的市场还小，但是利润还好，因而这些供应商对他们所谓的高端电脑市场还是满意的。然而，他们也很努力转向于生产非常有价格竞争力的低成本笔记本和平板电脑，希望藉此俘获成千上万的PC用户（已有平板但仍需要更新台式PC所需最新触控组件的用户）In fact, Intel CEO Paul Otellini gave us some indication of Intel and its PC partners’ strategy last week when he spoke on a conference call regarding Intel’s recent earnings announcement. 实际上，在上周的英特尔最近业绩公告发布会上，英特尔CEO Paul Otellini就给出了一些关于英特尔本身以及英特尔合作伙伴发展策略的说明。He said, “If you look at touch-enabled non-core Intel-based notebooks that are ultrathin…those prices are going to be down to as low as $200,” hinting perhaps at more affordable laptops and Windows 8 tablets on the horizon. We are hearing that all of the PC vendors are working on what they call “ultramobiles,” which are very low cost touch-based clamshells and convertible tablets for this holiday season.他说：“如果你看一下那些基于英特尔的non-core超薄可触控笔记本价格都要低于200美元了，”他如此暗示即将上市的评价笔记本和Windows 8平板。我们还听说所有的PC供应商都在努力研发他们所谓的“超级移动设备”呢，那可是这季上市的低成本clamshells和双用平板电脑。Key to understanding ultramobile designs is that while some will look like normal laptops or convertibles, to get this distinction, and to qualify for Microsoft‘s low cost license to use Windows Blue, they have to be systems that only use Intel’s Atom chip or a similar competitive one from AMD. Ultimately, the vendors believe these ultramobiles could help drive PC sales higher due to consumers’ demand to upgrade their laptops to touch-based systems. By the way, clamshell-based Chromebooks are in this ultramobile category too, even though they use Google’s Chrome web browser as the operating system.理解超移动设备设计的关键是一些看起来正统的笔记本或是多用平板，要区分甄别，还要验证微软的低成本授权来使用微软系统，所采用的芯片还必须是英特尔或类似竞争对手的AMD的。基本上，供应商们都认为这些移动设备有助于提升PC销量，因为用户需要通过笔记本升级到可触控电子系统。顺便提一下，Chromebooks也属于移动设备的范畴，虽然它们用的是谷歌的Chrome浏览器做为操作系统

近期美国时代周刊的新一期封面可以说是触动了很多人的心灵，如此简洁的封面之下，隐喻着美国政客对新冠病毒的不作为。首先我们来看一下此次图片当中的几个主要要素，首先映入我们眼帘的莫过于新冠病毒的卡通图片，这样的图片布满了整个封面的大半个份额，可以说是占占据了时代周刊封面的2/3的地区。而除了这样的触目惊心病毒图片之外，站下剩下1/3的就是白宫的图样。
这样的布局手法可以说是将美国近期新冠病毒的严峻程度做了很大的隐喻，而且在此次海报当中的封面，在病毒之下的白宫依然显得那么人声鼎沸，政客们一就是谈笑欢颜。将病毒政治化也成为了时代周刊此次封面的又一次抨击要素。
此外我们再看一下此次时代周刊封面的颜色汇集，主要篇幅采用了红色和白色以及黑色的颜色来强调形式的紧迫，红色的新冠病毒图样可以说是给人带来了一种视觉冲击，可以说新冠病毒的图样下，一个个都是美国确诊病例和死亡病例的痛苦呻吟。而洁白无瑕的白宫图像可以说是对此次封面最强烈的对比和抨击。除此之外，以黑色的点缀在病毒之间和白宫的阴影处，可以让我们深切地感受到眼前的白不是白，你说的黑是什么黑。
时代周刊作为美国的主流媒体，而此次周刊的封面可以说是让我们众多不了解美国实情的人，更多的了解到美国疫情的严峻，而在一片祥和的白宫外表之下，众多红色染着黑色的病毒图片在白宫上空盘旋。如此的设计也看得出此次时代周刊封面设计者的别有用心和对政治家的控诉和无奈，让此次封面成为大众焦点的同时，也为人们看清现实而感到无奈。
美国《时代》周刊最新一期封面采用黑底，封面上部和中部，包括Logo“TIME”的四个字母被血红色的新冠病毒图片所覆盖。封面下方则是美国白宫，白宫顶部则是烟囱在释放新冠病毒。《时代》周刊公开这期封面时将之命名为“零号病人和白宫新冠病毒暴发”。这是《时代》周刊在封面刊图讽刺白宫抗疫不力，随着美国的疫情越来越难以得到控制，包括《纽约时报》、CNN（美国有线电视新闻网）、《华尔街日报》在内的多家美国媒体都对美国应对疫情以及在全球抗疫中的表现表示了质疑和担忧，《时代》周刊已经多次发布文章和图片来表达对政府应对能力的不满。

Even my husband and I sometimes sneak one in late at night with a glass of milk. I believe that the Earl of Sandwich himself would agree with me that the success of this universally loved concoction(混合，调合) lies not in the brand of peanut butter used, but rather in the jelly. The right jelly delights the palate(味觉，上颚), and homemade is the only choice. I wasn't the jelly maker in this family. My mother-in-law was. She didn't provide a wide range of flavors, either. It was either grape or blackberry. This limited choice was a welcome relief in the days of toddlers, siblings and puppies. When all around me other decisions and choices had to be made, making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches was easy. And since we liked both flavors, we usually picked whatever jar was at the front of the pantry or refrigerator. The only contribution I made to the jelly making was to save baby food jars, which my mother-in-law would fill with the tasty gel, seal with wax and send back home with us. For the past 22 years of my married life, whenever I wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for myself or my husband or one of the children, all I had to do was reach for one of those little jars of jelly. It was always there. Jelly making was just a way of life for my mother-in-law. She always did it, following the same rituals - from picking the fruit to setting the finished jelly on the homemade shelves in her little pantry off the kitchen. My father-in-law died several years ago and this past December, my mother-in-law also passed away. Among the things in the house to be divided by her children were the remaining canned goods in the pantry(餐具室). Each of her children chose from the many jars of tomato juice, green beans and jelly. When my husband brought his jars home, we carefully put them away in our pantry. The other day I reached in there to retrieve jelly for a quick sandwich, and there it was. Sitting all alone on the far side of the shelf was a small jar of grape jelly. The lid was somewhat rusty in places. Written on it with a black marker was "GR" for grape and the year the jelly had been made. As I picked up the jar, I suddenly realized something that I had failed to see earlier. I reopened the pantry door to be sure. Yes, this was it, this was the last jar of "Memommie jelly." We would always have store-bought jelly, but this was the last jar we would ever have from the patient, loving hands of my mother-in-law. Although she had been gone for nearly a year, so much of her had remained with us. We hardly ever opened a jar of jelly at the breakfast table without kidding about those thousands of little jars she had filled. Our children had never known a day without their grandmother's jelly. It seems like such a small thing, and most days it was something that was taken for granted. But today it seemed a great treasure. Holding that last jar in my hand, my heart traveled back to meeting my mother-in-law for the first time. I could see her crying on our wedding day, and later, kissing and loving our children as if she didn't have five other grandchildren. I could see her walking the fields of the farm, patiently waiting while others tended to the cows. I could see her walking in the woods or riding the hay wagon behind the tractor. I saw her face as it looked when we surprised her by meeting her at church. I saw her caring for a sick spouse and surrounded by loving children at the funeral. I put the jelly back on the shelf. No longer was it just a jar of jelly. It was the end of a family tradition. I guess I believed that as long as it was there, a part of my mother-in-law would always live on. We have many things that once belonged to my husband's parents. There are guns, tools, handmade sweaters and throws, and some furniture. We have hundreds of pictures and many more memories. These are the kinds of things that you expect to survive the years and to pass on to your children. But I'm just not ready to give up this last jelly jar, and all the memories its mere presence allows me to hold onto. The jar of jelly won't keep that long. It will either have to be eaten or thrown out...but not today. 唯美的英语文章精选篇2：Roses in December Coaches more times than not use their hearts instead of their heads to make tough decisions. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case when I realized we had a baseball conference game scheduled when our seniors would be in Washington, . for the annual senior field trip. We were a team dominated by seniors, and for the first time in many years, we were in the conference race for first place. I knew we couldn't win without our seniors, so I called the rival coach and asked to reschedule the game when everyone was available to play. "No way," he replied. The seniors were crushed and offered to skip the much-awaited traditional trip. I assured them they needed to go on the trip as part of their educational experience, though I really wanted to accept their offer and win and go on to the conference championship(锦标赛). But I did not, and on that fateful Tuesday, I wished they were there to play. I had nine underclass players eager and excited that they finally had a chance to play. The most excited player was a young mentally challenged boy we will call Billy. Billy was, I believe, overage(过老的), but because he loved sports so much, an understanding principal had given him permission to be on the football and baseball teams. Billy lived and breathed sports and now he would finally get his chance to play. I think his happiness captured the imagination of the eight other substitute players. Billy was very small in size, but he had a big heart and had earned the respect of his teammates with his effort and enthusiasm. He was a left-handed hitter and had good baseball skills. His favorite pastime, except for the time he practiced sports, was to sit with the men at a local rural store talking about sports. On this day, I began to feel that a loss might even be worth Billy's chance to play. Our opponents jumped off to a four-run lead early in the game, just as expected. Somehow we came back to within one run, and that was the situation when we went to bat in the bottom of the ninth. I was pleased with our team's effort and the constant grin(露齿笑) on Billy's face. If only we could win..., I thought, but that's asking too much. If we lose by one run, it will be a victory in itself. The weakest part of our lineup was scheduled to hit, and the opposing coach put his ace pitcher in to seal the victory. To our surprise, with two outs, a batter walked, and the tying run was on first base. Our next hitter was Billy. The crowd cheered as if this were the final inning of the conference championship, and Billy waved jubilantly. I knew he would be unable to hit this pitcher, but what a day it had been for all of us. Strike one. Strike two. A fastball. Billy hit it down the middle over the right fielder's head for a triple to tie the score. Billy was beside himself, and the crowd went wild. Ben, our next hitter, however, hadn't hit the ball even once in batting practice or intrasquad games. I knew there was absolutely no way for the impossible dream to continue. Besides, our opponents had the top of their lineup if we went into overtime. It was a crazy situation and one that needed reckless strategy. I called a time-out, and everyone seemed confused when I walked to third base and whispered something to Billy. As expected, Ben swung on the first two pitches, not coming close to either. When the catcher threw the ball back to the pitcher Billy broke from third base sprinting as hard as he could. The pitcher didn't see him break, and when he did he whirled around wildly and fired the ball home. Billy dove in head first, beat the throw, and scored the winning run. This was not the World Series, but don't tell that to anyone present that day. Tears were shed as Billy, the hero, was lifted on the shoulders of all eight team members. If you go through town today, forty-two years later, you'll likely see Billy at that same country store relating to an admiring group the story of the day he won the game that no one expected to win. Of all the spectacular events in my sports career, this memory is the highlight. It exemplified what sports can do for people, and Billy's great day proved that to everyone who saw the game. J. M. Barrie, the playwright, may have said it best when he wrote, "God gave us memories so that we might have roses in December." Billy gave all of us a rose garden. 唯美的英语文章精选篇3：Is happiness the secret of success? Some people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. How did we miss this? Why do we have these societal misconceptions(错误的想法) about happiness? Because we assumed you were average. When we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is. If we study what is merely average, we will remain merely average. Many people think happiness is genetic. That's only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers -- people who are above average for a positive dimension like optimism or intelligence -- a wildly different picture emerges. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success. Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its finite resources as you process the world. If you scan for the negative first, your brain literally has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to reap an amazing advantage. Now that there is research validity to these claims, the working world is starting to take notice. In January, I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine on "Happiness Leads to Profits." Based on my article called "Positive Intelligence" and my research in The Happiness Advantage, I outlined our researched conclusion: the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and engaged workforce. A decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: raising sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a myriad of health and quality-of-life improvements. Given the unprecedented level of unhappiness at companies and the direct link between happiness and business outcomes, the question is NOT whether happiness should matter to companies. Given this research, it clearly should. The first question is: What can I do in my own life to reap the advantage of happiness? Training your brain to be positive at work is just like training your muscles at the gym. Sounds simple, right? Well, think about how easy it is to make yourself go to the gym. The key with any new resolution is to make it a habit. New research on neuroplasticity -- the ability of the brain to change even as an adult -- reveals that moderate actions can rewire the brain as you create "life habits." In The Happiness Advantage, I challenge readers to do one brief positive exercise every day for 21 days. Only through behavioral change can information become transformation. • Write down three new things you are grateful for each day; • Write for two minutes a day describing one positive experience you had over the past 24 hours; • Exercise for 10 minutes a day; • Meditate for two minutes, focusing on your breath going in and out; • Write one quick email first thing in the morning thanking or praising someone in your social support network (family member, friend, old teacher). But does it work? In the midst of the worst tax season in history I did a three-hour intervention at auditing and tax accounting firm KPMG, describing how to reap the happiness advantage by creating one of these positive habits. Four months later, there was a 24% improvement in job and life satisfaction. Not only is change possible, this is one of the first long-term ROI (return on investment) studies proving that happiness leads to long-term quantifiable(可以计量的) positive change. In a study I performed on 1,600 Harvard students in 2007, I found that there was a correlation between perceived social support and happiness. This is higher than the connection between smoking and cancer. So if in the modern world we give up our social networks to work away from friends and follow celebrities on Twitter, we are trading off with our happiness and health. Following up, I switched around the questions and asked how much social support employees provided (instead of received). The results were off the charts. Those high on provision of social support are 10 times more engaged at work and have a 40% higher likelihood of promotion over the next four years. In other words, giving at the office gets you more than receiving. The greatest cultural myth in modern society is that we cannot change. My research proves that you can not only become more positive, but if you prioritize happiness in the present, you can reap an extraordinary advantage. 以上就是我为你整理的唯美的英语文章精选，希望对你有帮助!
经典的英语文章适合我们闲时练习英语阅读，下面我为大家带来，希望大家喜欢! 篇一： I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday. 'What are you doing?' she asked. 'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it?' She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?' I looked at it again. She was right! It was! 我是个学艺术的学生，画了很多画。有很多人装成很懂现代艺术。他们总是告诉你一幅画的。当然，有很多画是什么意思也没有的。他们只不过是漂亮的图案。我们喜欢它们就像我们喜欢漂亮的窗帘布。我觉得小孩子们往往比任何人都更能欣赏现代绘画。他们观察到的东西更多。我的妹妹只有七岁，但她总能说出我的画是好还是不好。昨天她到我房里来了。"你干什么呢。她问。"我把这幅画挂到墙上，我回答。"这是一个新的。你喜欢吗。她用挑剔的目光一会儿。"这都是正确的，"她说，"但这不是颠倒的吗?"我又看。她是对的!这是! 篇二： Late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field. As soon as this was done, they cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry and the food *** elled good. After a wonderful meal, they told stories and sang songs by the campfire. But some time later it began to rain. The boys felt tired so they put out the fire and crept into their tent. Their sleeping bags were warm and fortable, so they all slept soundly. In the middle of the night, two boys woke up and began shouting. The tent was full of water! They all leapt out of their sleeping bags and hurried outside. It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field. The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent! 在下午晚些时候，男孩子们把帐篷搭在一个领域中。一旦这是，他们在篝火上烧起了饭。他们都饿了，而且食物闻起来很香。一顿美餐之后，他们讲故事、唱歌的篝火。但过了些时候开始下雨了。孩子们感到累了，所以他们扑灭了火，爬进了帐篷。睡袋既暖和又舒适，所以他们都睡得很香。在半夜里，两个男孩醒来了，开始喊。帐篷里全是水!他们全都跳出睡袋，跑到外面。雨下得很大，他们发现地上已经形成了一个流。那小溪弯弯曲曲穿过田野，然后正好从他们的帐篷! 篇三： Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace.' The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall. The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two urgent telegrams, but received no reply. He sent yet another telegram rming the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A week later, the editor at last received a telegram from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a cable in which he rmed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1084 steps leading to the 15-foot wall which surrounded the president's palace. 报刊杂志的编辑常常为了向读者提供成立一些关紧要的事实和统计数字而走向极端。去年，一位记者受一家有名的杂志的委托写一篇关于非洲某个新成立共和国总统府的文章。稿子寄来后，编辑看第一句话就拒绝予以发表。文章的开头是这样的："几百级台阶通向环绕总统的高墙。"编辑立即给那位记者发去传真，要求他核实一下台阶的确切数字和围墙的高度。 记者立即出发去核实这些重要的事实，但过了好长时间不见他把数字寄来，在此期间，编辑等得不耐烦了，因为杂志马上要付印。他给记者先后发去两份传真，但对方毫无反应。于是他又发了一份传真，通知那位记者说，若再不迅速答复，将被解雇。但记者还是没有回复。编辑无奈，勉强按原样发稿了。一周之后，编辑终于接到记者的传真。那个可怜的记者不仅被捕了，而且还被送进了监狱。不过，他终于获准发回了一份传真。在传真中他告诉编辑，就在他数通向15英尺高的总统府围墙的1，084级台阶时，被抓了起来。
Bird flu provides a lesson The rapid spread of lethal bird flu in Asia has sparked concerns about the outbreak's long-term impact on the poultry industry. To prevent avian influenza from spreading further, experts in China and other infected regions are culling poultry and vaccinating thousands of fowl each day. Some observers have opined these measures could prove to be a blessing in disguise because they will lead to improved living conditions for farmed foul. That's laudable, but perhaps the more important result is that farmers are being forced to realize the importance of maintaining sanitary conditions for their poultry stock. Although there is so far no evidence to suggest the poor environment of poultry farms is a primary cause of the disease, there can be no doubt unsanitary farms and poorly outfitted live fowl markets increase the risk of spreading the virus. Preventing domestic flocks from becoming infected is seen as the first line of defence. To that aim, the Ministry of Agriculture has urged the country's chicken farmers to take measures to prevent contact between their stock and wild fowl, which scientists believe is the natural reservoir of bird flu viruses. They are also asked not to let their flocks to share a water source that might become contaminated by droppings from infected wild-bird carriers. The ministry has also proposed substantial upgrading of disinfection and sanitation facilities on the farms. On Tuesday, China's environmental watchdog demanded the country's breeding industry provide clean drinking water for poultry, as well as disinfecting the air in poultry coops and taking steps to eliminate fecal and sewage contamination of poultry. Until now, it has been common practice for many poultry farmers to either squeeze their flocks into tiny quarters or let them roam free, putting commercial concerns ahead of any sanitary considerations. In zoos where birds are kept for show, people are also improving the habitation of various species. At the Beijing Zoo, the largest of its kind in China, workers have moved turkeys, which are believed to be particularly susceptible to epidemics, to separate quarters and provided more cages in order to alleviate crowding. Although all these moves have been prompted by bird flu, people should endeavour to integrate the precautionary measures into their long-term behaviour patterns. Just as public health facilities were improved after the outbreak of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) last year, the current menace of avian influenza will force people to take a harder look at the living conditions of domestic flocks. This will benefit humans and birds alike. Bird flu fighting in full swing Anhui Province has started an emergency mechanism for bird flu control and prevention soon after a new case of the disease was confirmed on Tuesday by the Agriculture Ministry. A chicken death at a farm in Juchao District, in Chaohu City, was confirmed to be caused by H5N1, a highly pathogenic bird flu virus. It was the first case after an earlier outbreak between January and March. The local government has isolated the area around the farm in accordance with the Law on Animal Epidemic Prevention. Ministry experts suspect the virus might be spread by migrants or wild water birds. The provincial headquarters in charge of bird flu control and prevention said yesterday that countermeasures started immediately. The headquarters was designed to take charge of the coordination of related departments and governments at all levels and sends officials to supervise the efforts to prevent the disease from spreading, especially to humans. To ensure the implementation of the measures, the headquarters has resumed round-the-clock monitoring. The provincial government has issued an urgent circular to demand local governments and related departments deal seriously with regular epidemic control measures, standardize control over poultry raising and strictly sterilize fowl farms. The circular also said an epidemic monitoring system and a related information network should be established by local governments at all levels. Supervision should focus on poultry farms and areas that had reported bird flu cases before and on those that were in danger. According to the circular, the local governments should compensate those who suffer losses from the compulsory poultry vaccination and slaughter. A responsibility system should be formed for related officials in the fight against the animal epidemic, the circular said. Earlier reports said the local health authority has ordered the killing of all poultry within 3 kilometers of the farm and vaccinated all poultry within 5 kilometers of the affected area. The Ministry of Agriculture has notified the Beijing office of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Health Organization, and authorities in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

《南方周末》日前发表的《养老保险“一国两制”现象严重》一文，引起社会很大反响，特别是企业退休人员争相传阅、相互转告、热烈议论、好评如潮。这篇文章何以引起广大读者的强烈共鸣？ 一是敢越雷池。养老金“一国两制”现象长期存在，人们尤其是企业退休职工，早就颇有微词、质疑纷纷。我曾就此问题多次给多家报纸写过文章，呼吁解决机关事业单位与企业退休人员养老金悬殊问题，但都被退稿。有编辑对我解释说：“你说的问题的确存在，这是社会不公平，但这是个社会敏感问题，见报怕影响社会稳定。”我心里不服这种牵强的解释，几千万退休的企业老人，承受着不公待遇，顾大局，识大体，他们是稳定社会的一支重要力量，传媒连句公道话都不敢说，何谈为民代言？现在，《南方周末》终于打破传媒在这个问题上的沉默，把“敏感问题”摆在社会面前，并且选择全国“两会”前夕发表，为百姓鼓与呼。我看并没有“天下大乱”，反而向人民群众传导了亲民政府的关注与改善民生的执政理念，增强了广大企业退休人员被特别重视和格外关怀的感觉，激活了老人们的心理期望，有利于社会稳定。许多老人高兴地说：“不管问题能不能解决，什么时候解决，只要报上替咱们呐喊了，就有希望啦！” 二是情真意切。该文章的字里行间，彰显着传媒“心怀天下不平事，意念人间疾苦情”的情怀和职业良知与责任感。文章中有许多贴心知己的话。如“自2005年始，各地在国家统一安排下逐年提高了企业退休人员的养老金，但每次每月数十元额度的增长，仍未能有效改善企业退休人员的境遇。”又如“CPI的飞涨，已经让各地的老人们迫不及待。他们开出自认卑微的请求，一年内达到机关事业单位普通司机的水平，三年内达到机关事业单位同等人员的水平。这可以理解，他们必须以仅存的晚年岁月与循序渐进的政策赛跑。”读到这段文字，心里酸楚悲凉，一个企业的高级知识分子开出的目标请求竟卑微到机关的司机收入水平！企业退休的老人们，甚至得到政府几句肯定他们在共和国建设中出过力的话语，都会提高“幸福指数”。我常听到老人们相互安慰勉励的话：“不怕拿得少，就怕走得早，好好活！”多好的老人啊！ 三是实话实说。“企业高工养老金，不如机关清洁工”，说得太符合实际了。老朽忝列高工，长期只有500元退休金（去年才突破千元大关），回湖南老家探亲，兄弟姊妹、老子老娘都以为我“瞒产”了，父亲说，在县政府扫地打杂的都有1000多元退休金，问我是不是犯错误了？文章用大量事实和数据说明了退休金“一国两制”的现象。如华南某市截至2007年7月，部分企业副高职称的退休专家养老金约为930元，相当于当地机关事业单位清洁工工资的一半。2007年初，上海一位国务院特殊津贴获得者每月养老金为2006元，而该市某机关司机的退休金是2550元。活着如此，死了差别更大，如退休人员去世，上海企业单位补发两个月工资，而机关则发20个月的工资，相差10倍，这是典型的“同命不同价”！ 《南方周末》的文章引起了各级政府和社会的关注，这就为党和国家制定养老金政策提供了有价值的信息，功不可没，值得崇敬。
《他的国，在这个世界上不存在》，切·格瓦拉的文章。文章如下 正是你找到的 南方周末刊出的40年后，世界对于格瓦拉的评价仍然和他的冒险经历一样庞杂:他是始终孤身作战，对自己的牺牲早有预见，被同志背叛，为自己尽力解放的民众所不理解的马克思主义基督。或者，他是个自我身份认同障碍症患者，冷血的暴力运动倡导者。这个出身阿根廷的青年是“一个拉美近代迷惑与追求的缩影”。40年前的10月8日，在玻利维亚尤罗峡谷，埃内斯托·切·格瓦拉。这位20世纪的红色罗宾汉停止了战斗。负责协助玻利维亚政府军围剿这支游击队的古巴籍中情局特工菲利克斯·罗德里格斯回忆说，和剩余6名同志一起被俘虏，由随军记者拍摄照片存档后一小时，格瓦拉就被处决。来自玻利维亚政府的命令很简单——“500-600”，头一个数字是军方为格瓦拉定的代号，后者则表示死亡。从这场谋杀实施的那一刻起，一个英雄的传奇不仅没有结束，反而被放大成了神话。2004年上映，由沃尔特·塞勒斯导演的影片《摩托日记》为大众揭开了一条探寻格瓦拉早年精神世界的路径。1951年12月，年轻的医学院学生格瓦拉和好友阿尔贝托·格拉纳多骑上一辆诺顿500大力士摩托车，开始了遍及拉美的漫游。和沿途的风景一样，格瓦拉的信仰也在不停变幻，从嬉皮士的浪游精神，到甘地主义，最终变成了革命暴力。格瓦拉的精神与古巴革命的胜利，曾使美国坐立不安。1960年8月8日的《时代》周刊以格瓦拉为封面，却号召美国“采取积极行动来应对拉美地区中令人不安的新变化”。1961年，由美国政府倡导，旨在扭转拉美国家经济贫困和政治高压状况，“争取进步同盟”正式启动，肯尼迪政府宣布联手美洲开发银行和国际货币基金组织，在10年内向拉美投入1000亿美元，以便促使这些国家进行土地、税收改革和经济多样化。当时美国的构想是，一旦这些国家实现经济快速增长，进而成为“现代化”国家，那么“古巴，苏联式的暴力社会革命道路就在人民心中自然失去了吸引力”。然而，这个目标一旦与美国保护自己在拉美的投资经济利益和政治控制地位相背离，美国往往会毫不犹豫地牺牲前者。在整个60年代，拉美国家总共爆发了16次军事政变，有10个宪政政府被推翻。时任古巴工业部长和军训部长的切，曾无数次赤裸着上身，和革命军的战士们一起收割甘蔗、烟草，驾驶拖拉机，尽管许多带有偏见的西方媒体讥讽记录这些瞬间的照片不过是蛊惑人心的宣传，但曾在古巴长期采访报道，客观中立的伦敦《每日电讯报》资深记者埃德温·泰特洛在《眼睛望着古巴》里言简意赅地指出:“没有镜头对准的时候，切的劳动更加繁重。”1965年2月，在阿尔及尔的第二次亚非团结大会上，格瓦拉抨击苏联是西方帝国主义“暗中的同谋”，经互会的实质是压榨和资本主义式的不平等贸易。一句话，他的乌托邦绝对不可能借助现实政治和社会手段，在现实世界中完成，苦闷的切于是唯有反复呼吁，共产主义需要“新人”，而“正确选择完成这一任务的手段”必须首要是“精神方面”的。这一切，共同造成了切1966年底神秘戏剧性地从古巴出走，“唯有穿上破旧的军装，他才感觉自己做回了自己”。1967年4月16日，格瓦拉从玻利维亚丛林中发表的《创造两个，三个……许多个越南》，成为他留给世人的最后著作，他反复强调，民众武装力量能够在对抗正规军队的战斗中取胜，“游击中心”能够在革命条件未成熟的拉美国家促成斗争的胜利。不过在这份热情激昂的文稿问世15天前，美国南方司令部派遣的两架C-130大力神运输机就降落在圣塔克鲁斯军用机场，为玻利维亚陆军带来了无线电通讯器材，M60重机枪和先进的M-1步枪等先进武器，甚至刚刚发明、可以野外方便加热、密封贮存的“C”军用口粮。同时来自古利克堡基地的美国特种部队开始训练玻利维亚陆军的第二突击营，进行远程侦察、渗透、伏击与追踪训练，格瓦拉的短暂冒险已经走到了尽头。美国人杀了格瓦拉。在格瓦拉牺牲后的次年，也就是被古巴命名为“英勇的游击队年”的1968年，格瓦拉的一些主张终于在古巴实现，尽管这是与苏联关系严重破裂的副产品。卡斯特罗在国内宣布实施汽油配给制，声明革命者的尊严使古巴不能向苏联“乞求援助”，古巴全体政府职员和党员被动员起来，参加收获甘蔗的义务劳动，普通劳动者则被分发了“劳动记分卡”。古巴青少年被安排每天在课堂上背诵切的语录，并发誓以他为榜样，为古巴革命奋斗终生。如何评价格瓦拉为其追随者留下的遗产？他无疑是拉丁美洲桀骜不驯、浪漫骑士化的游击战传统的最后一位伟大继承人，在他前面则是卡兰萨、潘乔·比利亚和帕萨塔。当这个共产主义的堂吉诃德端起长矛时，曼德拉还是个默默无闻的南非律师，越南仍然是个分裂的前殖民地国家，整个拉丁美洲被形形色色的军人独裁政府占据。在他死后，拉美的革命游击战争再没有能达到他期望的效果和高度。里吉斯·德布雷在《革命的革命》中强调，缺乏长期系统化的农村动员和结构严密的干部队伍，精英化、具备高度献身精神的起义者只是丛林中的一撮暴乱分子。1964年，阿根廷军政府消灭了马蒂赛游击队;60年代末委内瑞拉民族解放阵线因新总统雷奥尼的政治宽容改革而分崩离析，在哥伦比亚，“黑色骑士”费尔明·查理和“神枪手”马鲁兰达创立的“民族革命武装”也因既没有系统的土地分配纲领，也不愿意动员印第安原住民，始终未能摆脱殖民时代的盗匪形象。1968年，秘鲁游击运动领导人约瑟夫·汉森在第四国际大会上承认，拉丁美洲的游击革命主义正经受着前所未有的危机，它孤军作战，在国内无法发动农民，无法和教会、知识分子、工人达成任何一致，在国际上从未得到过莫斯科或哈瓦那的支持。格瓦拉的牺牲与古巴式武装输出革命模式的暂时失败，反而激发着拉美乃至整个发展中世界对于经济、政治、社会公正的追求。从60年代中期开始席卷拉美的“解放神学”运动，很大程度上吸收了切的“新人”观念影响，智利的弗雷斯诺·红衣主教与尼加拉瓜的布拉沃主教，分别成为桑地诺、皮诺切特等军事独裁者最有威胁、最激烈的反对派领袖。而巴西的卢拉·席尔瓦和委内瑞拉的查韦斯则把在拉美湮没已久的“民众主义”，与格瓦拉式的社会平均分配理想重新拾起，当作反击国际经济贸易不平等和自身经济结构恶化的全新武器。在他的众多信徒中，也包括绰号“副司令马科斯”，以一身迷彩服、黑色面罩、AK47冲锋枪、中国红军五角星帽徽和滑雪帽、墨西哥传统游侠式交叉子弹带、电子手表和对讲机等“革命”符号武装起来的墨西哥萨帕塔运动领导人。“副司令马科斯”在这场利用网络和电视新闻而非爆破和伏击来完成的“全球第一场后现代革命”中，格瓦拉式的革命浪漫主义，拉美文艺中的魔幻主义传统和后现代文化的狂欢性前所未有地结合起来，1997年8月，在拉坎顿丛林深处召开的“第一届保卫人类对抗新自由主义国际聚会”几乎成了一场打着革命旗号的伍德斯托克音乐节。2001年“副司令马科斯”决定走出丛林，带领他的追随者们骑着黑色的摩托车在全国范围内进行了一次巡游，跟随他们的是支持萨巴塔主义的旗帜和标语，还有浩浩荡荡的“骨肉皮”——完全是摇滚乐队巡演的架势。没有人知道“副司令马科斯”到底是谁。在丛林中，他设法安装了网络连接，不定期地发表网络日志。每时每刻在世界上的任何角落都有同样为革命——互联网革命——神魂颠倒的大学生窥探他的主页，然后惊为天人。他的个人魅力招来了一大批西方朝圣者:MTV希望给他拍一部电影，贝纳通想让他做形象代言人，然而他拒绝此类的请求。至少到如今，“副司令”还坚持着一个革命者纯粹的使命——完成革命意愿，淡化个人形象。马科斯承认自己也有动摇的时候，想摘下面罩成为真正的名人，然而最终还是听见自己头脑里有一个嘲弄的声音说:你只是作为一个神话才有存在的价值，你自身并不存在。这个嘲弄的声音也许正来自切·格瓦拉。
在这里 读懂中国南方周末从街头小报，迅速成长为一张全国性大报，原因很多，但最重要的原因，无非是她的中国情怀。她始终以中国议程，作为自己的首要议程；始终以问题意识，呈现中国社会不断变动的趋势，从而最大限度地适应读懂中国这个强烈的社会需要。南方周末是中国的，纵然地处南隅。时空的藩篱，并不能阻断她超越的目光。但是，南方周末关注的中国，不是大而化之的中国，而是具体的中国。中国是什么？中国是数以十亿计的先民共同打造的，中国又是地球村的一员；中国是我们栖居的家园，中国是我们命运的载体。同胞的冷暖，同胞的悲欢，才是我们牵挂的对象，我们只是从这个角度去关注中国。每一个怎样卑微的生命，都需要珍重；每一个怎样微弱的呻吟，都需要倾听；每一个怎样些微的所得，都值得欣慰。传统的中国情怀和现代的普世价值就这样水乳交融，相辅相成，构成南方周末的核心价值体系。南方周末的关怀无疑是公共的，她无时不在仰望星空。然而她也清楚自己的社会角色，清楚自己的边界。罗马不是一天建成的，公民社会不可能突然从天而降。狂飙般的进程固然诗意，其潜在的副作用却也未可小视。公民社会的成长必须以日常生活经验的漫长积累为基础，才是健康的和不可逆转的。这就需要随风潜入夜，润物细无声；需要以职业自治、社区自治展开的点滴推进。就地出发，就成了通向公民社会的可行路径。作为媒体，当然主要是从职业出发。尽可能做好每一篇报道，做好每一篇评论，通过这样的方式来介入公共生活，来实现自己的人文关怀，而决不妄发过高的空论，这正是南方周末本来的立场。尊重新闻共同体几百年积淀下来的智慧，让职业伦理成为衡量这个职业的基本规则，让内生力量成为这个职业发展的主导力量，像珍视生命那样珍视公信力。南方周末的诉求不过如此，岂有他哉。而最基本的职业伦理是什么呢？就是最大限度地满足公民的知情权，让人与人之间信息传播最少阻隔。南方周末是市场化的产儿，是读者的选择、读者的期待，成就了今天的南方周末。读者是南方周末的衣食父母，对自己职业的忠诚，从根本上说，就应该归结为对读者的忠诚，对读者知情权的忠诚。这就要求信息的充分供给。这种充分供给在转型时代尤为重要。转型时代是社会矛盾和冲突多发的时代，也是一个容易亢奋、容易走向极端的时代。这就需要公民素养来纠偏。信息的充分供给过程，就是公民自我教化的过程，就是公民素养不断提高的过程，就是社会不断回到理性、回到均衡的过程，就是社会不断达成底线共识的过程。推动这样的过程，是南方周末的天职所在，也是南方周末对读者最大的感恩。敬畏人类良知，坚守新闻理想，感恩衣食父母。二十四年，南方周末就这样一路走来，风雨兼程。二十四年后的今天，南方周末只会更从容，更坚定。二十四年的奋斗史，奠定了她的自信；公民社会不断成长的前景，增长了她的自信；富强、民主、文明、和谐的未来，提升了她的自信。天变不足畏，祖宗不足法，人言不足恤。秉承五四以来民主与科学传统的南方周末，秉承两三千年来知识分子济世情怀的南方周末，扎根于中国土地的南方周末，扎根于人心的南方周末，有足够的力量面向未来。有人一时不理解不重要，同行偶尔误读不重要，重要的是，自己的每一步，都将是这个国家变得更好的一个记录，都将是这个民族更有尊严地自立于世界的一个见证。而这，也就够了。
