anniversary.
She invited her uncle who was very cheap.
"Uncle," she said, "this is my parents' golden anniversary. People bring
presents made of
gold, you know."
"Of course I know that," said the cheapskate, and he brought a goldfish.
Instead of: He was very cheap.
You can also say: He was very tight. He was very stingy. He was very
miserly. |

xixi, maybe i can contribute something about 'stars' :-)
stars are compassionate tears of the sky;
stars are solitary eyes of the Gods;
stars can drive you to the darkest sullen state;
stars can guide you out of lost route.
They are neither sweet nor stingy, they are just 'exist' there,
no more no less :-) |

"There is a delicate etiquette surrounding going Dutch. It may be accepted
in some situations, such as between non-intimate friends or less affluent
people, but considered stingy in other circumstances, such as on a romantic

发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Sat Oct 29 14:00:41 2011, 美东)
一对亚洲夫妻走进餐厅，胸前挂着新款相机，身后拖着学步幼童。父亲的口音泄露了他
们的国籍，“三位。请。”
侍者们交换了熟悉的眼神，大家想的都一样，“又来了...哪个倒霉蛋来接待这一桌？
”他们落座时我的心碎了：因为这家人只是单纯地进来用餐；因为其他侍者的担心往往
成真；也因为我自己，被如此尴尬地夹在中间。为什么？
因为中国人从来不付小费。
中国经济的爆发直接导致国外游的超速增长；老套的挥舞和平标志的日本游客已经不再
是亚洲游客的主力。中国成长中的中产阶级普遍比较年轻，受过教育，热爱奢侈品、国

Most genealogies include five basic types of information: (1) clan origin; (
2) biographies of ancestors; (3) the pedigree itself; (4) information about
clan tombs, ancestral halls, schools, and so forth; and (5) instructions
from preceding generations to descendants. Usually the pedigree is the main
item, with the other information appearing in a preface. In modern times,
directories of living clan members have frequently been included.

的修法，自己根本不需要。其实这是最大的错误！
--《前行广释》智悲佛网
不要总让自己去追求完美。月亮一旦圆了，就要变缺；杯里的水满了，就要溢出；树上
的苹果熟了，就要掉落。太完美了只能物极必反，还不如给自己留个空间，虽然多一点
欠缺，但也少一点遗憾。

为什么纠正自己的思想见解，有那么重要？这是因为，人的一切行为，都受着思想的支
配。思想不改变，行为就不会发生改变，行为不改变，业果也就不会改变，业果不改变
，就依然摆脱不了轮回之苦。所以不去修正思想，修行就根本无从谈起。要获得解脱，
必须从源头下手，修正自己的思想见解。

我们有时候觉得，“今天挺累的，不上座了，睡觉吧！”这就是着魔了，这个时候更应
