你真是改经改到面不改容。

亚当认识了自己的妻子厄娃,厄娃怀了孕,生了加音说∶「我赖上主获得了一个人。」
Genesis 4:1King James Version (KJV)
4 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I
have gotten a man from the Lord.
American Standard Version
And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I

作者柯蒂丝·西顿费尔德(Curtis Sittenfeld)写的是外乡女孩莉在新英格

By Bill Sweetman w**************[email protected]
WASHINGTON
Defense Secretary Robert Gates has put the U.S. Marine Corps’ troubled F-
35B short-takeoff-and-vertical landing (Stovl) Joint Strike Fighter on “
probation,” while endorsing the U.S. Air Force’s long-coveted new bomber
program.
The F-35A and F-35C models emerged unscathed from Gates’ review. However,
the F-35B “is experiencing significant testing problems,” Gates said at

As Mubarak continues to talk, it is now very clear that he will not be announcing his departure from power. He has made it clear he will stay on until September elections. It is highly unlikely this will go down well with the crowds gathered in Tahrir Square
