有一年快要过春节了，我很想要两个好看的氢气球。那个时候氢气球并不多见，要

紧紧绑在手腕上，怕它们飞走了。回家一路上很多人看。欢天喜地到了家，拿自己最喜
欢的两条纱巾做了两朵花，绑在气球下面，这样气球飘在屋子里很好看。
家里腊月里要打扫卫生，开窗通气，打开窗子我们就到隔壁屋子去吃饭了。吃完饭
再回到卧室，诶？气球怎么不见了？我问哥哥是不是他给我藏起来了，哥哥说没有啊，
我还不相信，说你别骗我了，快给我！ 哥哥帮我找，抬头一看窗子外边－－一红一绿

What jobs?
Jobs which wouldn't have existed in the first place if the bubble wasn't
created?
People need to be realistic here.
The bubble had been ballooned for 3 decades, brought on a lot of jobs with
it. Now the bubble burst, jobs that came along were trimmed off.
To get those jobs back, the economy need to blow another bubble, or
introduce new industry with technical innovations. Either way, it won't be
easy to get per-recession 6-7% unemployment rate.
8% could be a reasonable one. |

这个网站就叫“最好英文名”，用户登录网站，支付15元人民币，就可以在该网站上进行一个测试，该测试由Lindsay的团队专门设计。在回答10个关于性格和起名要求的问题之后，用户可获得5个英文名推荐。
据了解，访客主要来自杭州、昆明、上海、温州和成都等城市，大多数是准备申请出国留学的年轻女性。
出生在美国的Lindsay喜欢体验不同国家文化，12岁时去英国伦敦读初中和高中，之后回到美国在乔治华盛顿大学学习国际事务专业，主修东亚和中国事务。3年前，她来到中国上海，便爱上了这里。她从事市场品牌推广，注意到周围中国人都有英文名，其中一些不错，但一些却“稀奇古怪”，给外国上司或同事留下很坏的印象。
