Blindness(盲流感電影版)

I have just surfing the Imdb. And I found this one. This should be the film adaption of Ensaio Sobre a Cegueira. The drama adaption was shown two or three years ago. This is a story about humanity in a crisis of epidemic.

I wanted to watch this drama when it was performed in Hong Kong. But at last I missed it because of money and time. I hope I can watch this in clinema in this year.

The Opening Ceremony of the Olympic

Yesterday night, Beijing gravitated people from all around the coners. They all witnessed to the opening of the Olympic.
The performance in this ceremony was amazing. This showed the greatest resources of China: people and culture. The power of men impressed me, even I was not the spectator there. Every motion of the performers was the neat and organised.
The show could show the cultural characteristic vividly of China to all the guests there. But it was not the life of Chinese nowadays. This was just the great arrangment of Director Cheung.

攻略

逛書展時, 見到不同類型的書都有「攻略」。但是這詞是來源自何方? 幾時開始流行呢?

查詞典找到的:

攻略

攻击掳掠。《后汉书·天文志中》:“ 扬州 六郡逆贼 章何 等称将军,犯四十九县,大攻略吏民。”《宋书·天文志四》:“ 索头 攻略 青 、 冀 、 兖 三州。” 郭沫若 《中国史稿》第三编第二章第一节:“﹝ 匈奴 ﹞奴隶主贵族经常攻略 燕 、 赵 、 秦 三国边境,掠夺牲畜、财物和人口。”


這麼說來, 攻略即攻城擄掠。再俗一點就是「食腦搶盡你嘢」。
喜歡以最短時間得到最多東西的城市人來說, 「攻略」簡直是良伴。難怪任何類型的書都要以「攻略」作尾, 引人注目一番。
