都觉得LA干
这种计算humidity的公式很奇怪，
LA is NOT HOT all the time!!! People think it is like Florida or NY in the
summer. It is not. In most areas of LA, it is hardly ever less than 60 and
rarely more than 80. It cools down at night and you almost always need at
least a light sweatshirt - even in the summer.
The more inland you are the warmer it is. And the Valley is much hotter.
Sept is the hottest month of the year. June is the gloomest. If it's going
to rain, it is usually Jan or Feb.

Antofagasta is just 1 millimetre (0.04 in) per year. Some weather stations

无耻的公司老板，为了树立个人形象，居然在年会上吹嘘自己是“学霸”能文能舞。
除了把一三流歌手的原创说成是自己的作品外，还给我们展示了他的中译英大作：
《赋得古原草送别》
《赋得古原草送别》 白居易
离离原上草，一岁一枯荣。
野火烧不尽，春风吹又生。
远芳侵古道，晴翠接荒城。
又送王孙去，萋萋满别情。
Verse Inspired by "Farewell on the Ancient Grassland"
Bai Juyi
Lush, lush grass on the plain,
Once every year it sears and grows.
Wildfire can not burn it out,
Spring breeze blows it back to life.
Distant scent invad... 阅读全帖 |

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

：「应当一无挂虑，只要凡事借着祷告、祈求、和感谢，将你们所要的告诉上帝。上帝
所赐出人意外的平安，必在基督耶稣里，保守你们的心怀意念。」
「凡事」不只是房屋着火，不只是所爱的病危，「凡事」包括日常生活中一切
大大小小的事情；我们应当将「凡事」带到上帝面前去！当我们夜半醒来，辗转不能成

──将一切家庭方面、职业方面的困难全告诉祂。
