国内的同事干劲非常足,感觉都是在为自己工作,没有人抱怨工作时间长,工作强度大,而且what impressed me most is, 他们的业务水平还是很高的. For 2 months, Dr. Zuo hasn't impressed anybody yet, or, in another word, for 2 months, nobody has been impressed by Dr. Zuo yet, lol… does it sound better this way? Or how about, after 2 months, Dr. Zuo has yet to impress? lol… However, it may change, or it may not, and it's not my intention to impress in the first place(and that might change too). lol...
anyway, 人家除了外语说得差点,但交流起来几乎没有问题,人家也会用很长很大的词,like “intrinsically”, 只不过人家暂时还不会说 “per se”, 但per se 这个东东,听两遍,说两遍也就会了。再说了, 在座的不查字典有多少人知道per se是什么意思? lol… 凭什么你们, 甚至你们住在老年公寓里的父母,享受着高工资,高福利,祖国人民干一倍的活,却只拿着十分之一的报酬?Based on the Law of One Price, 现在全球化这么厉害,no barrier should be high enough to justify such price differential. 所以同学们, 真应该为自己的饭碗,为下一代在全球化大潮中的竞争力好好未雨绸缪了.
NND, 今天又来不及去食堂了, lol… But on the other hand, what gives me the privilege to complain when my coworkers take it for granted, who makes a fraction of a fraction of what I make?
同学们, don’t you think your life is too easy in America, and how long do you think it’ll last? And how are you going to survive when change happens if you are so, figuratively speaking, fat? lol… But don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll still be fine when I come back from dinner or when you wake up tomorrow morning, and you better get up very very early and start running. lol…
