The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible. 实现“不可能”的唯一方法就是相信它是可能的。——《爱丽丝梦游仙境2010》Always be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of somebody else.永远做一流的自己，而不做二流的别人。【《哈利·波特》作者JK·罗琳的哈佛大学毕业典礼的演讲】最喜欢这句：As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters. 生活就像故事一样：不在乎长短，而在于质量，这才是最重要的。世界末日（doomsday）I am not perfect and I will not try to be.我并不完美，我也不要设法让自己完美。dance attendance on 奉承某人；ear to the ground 注意舆论等的动向，敏锐；fall guy 被牺牲者，替罪羔羊；get ones back up 使某人生气；all at sea 茫然不知所措；迷惑；place in the sun 好的境遇；kiss of death 死亡之吻，帮倒忙玩浪漫把自己玩那啥了……Working Together in the New Year 新的一年共同努力 Hello, everybody.
