Who Said What (8)

"I may lie, cheat and intimidate to get what I want, but at least I get the job done. So I hope some of you were taking notes."
                                                                                       
                                            -- Frank Underwood from "House of Nerds"

迈克学中文（六）

迈克中文大有长进，跟他坚持不懈地看动画版《神雕侠侣》大有关系。

大姨妈来访，小肚子冰凉。和Mike并排躺在床上，让他把手放在我小腹上，感到他的阳气顺着手掌透进来，体内的冷气慢慢消散。迈克说，我们在练“玉女心经”。

ZZ 如果你可以用自己的生命换来一个已经逝去的人复活，你会用自己的命去换谁？

摘自知乎：

－如果能让曹雪芹活或来，告诉我红楼梦的大结局是什么。我可以考虑看完之后马上死。

—张学良吧。好好看看自己造的孽。

—让老毛活过来，给大家一个唾骂的机会。

－蒋介石，然后告诉他，剿匪要给力。

—谁也不换。在跟人家换命之前，有经过人家的同意吗？

－没有人。任何值得我去换回的人，我都一定更愿意跟他们活在同一个世界里面。

－对换自己的人无语了，意思就是长生不死了？就那么爱活吗？

－换只大恐龙吃掉你们。

Who Said What (7) 撒切尔去世

奥巴马：

As a grocer’s daughter who rose to become Britain’s first female prime minister, she stands as an example to our daughters that there is no glass ceiling that can’t be shattered.

《纽约时报》评论文章：

Her attitude on how people should live could be described as either Samuel Smiles (“Self-Help”) or Gordon Gekko (“greed... is good”). Despite being a woman who had shattered the political glass ceiling by becoming leader of her party and then prime minister, she did little to advance the cause of women generally, and would not publicly support the feminist movement. She was also unfriendly toward homosexuals, suggesting in her 1987 speech at the Conservative Party Conference that no one had a “right” to be gay.

Meryl Streep:

It is hard to imagine a part of our current history that has not been affected by measures she put forward in the UK at the end of the 20th century. I was honored to try to imagine her late life journey, after power; but I have only a glancing understanding of what her many struggles were, and how she managed to sail through to the other side.

撒切尔自己：

In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man; if you want anything done, ask a woman.

美国参议员Pat Toomey:

God bless Baroness Thatcher. Powerful, and a lady to the last: "Power is like being a lady: if you have to tell people you are, you aren't."

Donald Rumsfeld:

Margaret Thatcher was known as the Iron Lady. I can personally attest that I’ve never met a leader with more steel.

Thedailybeast.com:

At one infamous Downing Street lunch, an eminent guest forgot that she was sitting at the table behind him and joked, “Is there any truth in the rumor that Mrs. Thatcher is a woman?”

《纽约时报》社论：

She was one of the first Western leaders to recognize the reformist intentions of Mikhail Gorbachev, showed remarkable foresight on the dangers of climate change, and in general managed Britain’s global role more deftly than her successors.
