如果不讀 New York Times(美國)或Globe and Mail(加國), 也應該爭取能毫無困難地閱讀Calgary Herald或Chicago tribune等英文報紙。
5 學會高貴
主流人士街上遇見他人,立刻微笑和問候“Good morning”。我們應該每天對鏡子鍛煉自己的表情,顯出一種自信,高貴,有微笑的臉孔。遇見人應該笑着說:“How’re you doing?”,“How’s it going?”,“Nice day, isn’t it?”,不管是不是喜歡這個人。當別人需要你提出意見和建議時,你應該說:“It’s great!”“你做得非常非常好。”
有人谷歌“主流”,於是說:主流有時候是一個代表“種族至上主義”的觀點或“霸權文化”觀點的一個碼字…(Main stream is sometimes a codeword used for an actual ethnocentric or hegemonic subculture point of view, especially when delivered in a culture war speech。)本人認為這是一個斷章取義的說法。
也有人說:主流可以定義為“what works for you”(切實可行就是主流)。既然如此,便不必為它困惱了。
老木, Being of modest means, we can only afford Florida. (Although I think 好吃不懶做 is in Hawaii, and her dishes make me want to go there. 好吃, am I right? Are you in beautiful Hawaii?)
You forgot to mention vacations. Mainstream people take vacations, twice in six months, once in Hawaii, and once in Florida. They also read a book while vacationing in Hawaii... hahaha, you confessed this before you started to write blogs.
