“Generally speaking, our relationship has been moving forward, but recently
I am more or less worried,” Premier Wen Jiabao told Clinton in slow,
measured tones. The surprisingly frank comments were the sharpest directed
at Clinton during her overnight visit. Most other Chinese officials stuck to
pleasantries.

strategic mutual trust,” Wen said Wednesday. “The... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 2047 | 5 CNN’s Chris Cuomo decided to skip the small talk during a live interview
with Donald Trump on Monday and go straight into a tough question.
And the presumptive Republican presidential nominee didn’t appreciate the
lack of pleasantries.
CUOMO: We need to talk policy. We need to talk the state of play within your
own party, but you have commanded a different headline that needs to be
addressed. You are attacking Hillary Clinton for the sexual past and
indiscretions of her husband, calling her an e... 阅读全帖 |

President Trump upon arriving in Saudi Arabia on Saturday did not bow to the
Gulf leader as former President Barack Obama appeared to do -- a move
interpreted as American weakness.
In 2009, Obama appeared to bow to then-Saudi leader King Abdullah at a G-20
summit in London.
Videos show Obama bending at the waist toward the king. The White House at
the time purportedly denied that the president had bowed, with a source

发帖数: 1 | 9 前聯邦調查局長柯米(James Comey)6月8日（周四）將就他與川普(Donald Trump)總統
的互動，赴國會參議院情報委員會作證，情報委員會在7日下午提前公布了柯米的書面
證詞；這也是柯米被川普開除以來，首度公開露面的場合。
這項受到各界矚目的世紀聽證會，除了事關川普在「通俄門」的角色外，更重要的是川
普如何看待「總統」這項職務。川普是否循私不公？是否涉嫌妨礙司法？或是否從最根
本的行為舉止上，讓外界很容易判斷他是否適任。
世界日報特別以中英全文對照的方式，為讀者即時翻譯柯米書面證詞的全文，也為柯米

在美国，跟房东，就算是中国人的房东，也一般也就简单地exchange pleasantry的，
根本没有怎么说过话，更别谈介绍女朋友这种事情了。比较跟房东是business
transaction，不合适进一步交往……
寡妇房东介绍女朋友给他，还有个视频的湖南人。。。

To Life
O life with the sad seared face,
I weary of seeing thee,
And thy draggled cloak, and thy hobbling pace,
And thy too-forced pleasantry!
I know what thou would'st tell
Of Death, Time, Destiny -
I have known it long, and know, too, well
What it all means for me.
But canst thou not array
Thyself in rare disguise,
And feign like truth, for one mad day,
That Earth is Paradise?

发帖数: 791 | 23 The same division existed in Black Iron Hotel too. For example, the baldy
always wanted to exchange pleasantries with his neighburs, but others never
acknowledged him. The situation lasted for a week before it improved. The
baldy's bed and the girl's bed is placed side by side, only divided by a set
of black bars in between. It was as if they shared a double-sized bed. The
baldy was rather embarrassed. He wanted to move them apart a little bit. The
efforts were all in vain no matter how he tried |

I think people sometimes use metaphoric expressions like 'talk about the

发帖数: 467 | 26 COMMON JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
“Tell me about yourself.”
Make a short, organized
statement of your education,
professional
achievements and professional
goals. Then,
briefly describe your qualifications for
the job and the contributions you could
make to the organization. This question
typically will come shortly after exchanging
pleasantries and it’s what I like to
consider a brief “infomercial” about you.
“Why do you want to
work here?” or “What
is it about our company
that interests you?”
