Allies stand with Ukraine as Russian threat looms over D-Day anniversary
Putin has tried to justify his invasion of Ukraine by portraying Ukrainians as Nazis. But as this week's D-Day anniversary made clear, it is Putin himself who is seen as the greatest single threat to peace in Europe since Adolf Hitler, writes Peter Dickinson.
Although 文言文 uses the same character set with 现代汉语，文言文 is nearly a different language, it has its own syntax and tradition.
新文化运动的伟大功绩在于使文言文在二三十年间很快就退出了历史舞台，成为了白话文的一统天下，现在书面语言与口头语言的差异几乎已经不存，但会写典雅文字的人也没有了。
是不是很可惜？想学会写典雅文字，今年已五十有二，不知道还来不来得及。

听到一首粤语歌《红豆相思》，怪好听。找来歌词一看，原来原诗这么长，并不是只有我记得的四句。
红豆相思
作词：王维
作曲：顾嘉辉
莺声惊残梦 晨起懒画眉
相呼姐妹至 共唱红豆诗
红豆生南国 春来发几枝
愿君多采撷 此物最相思
相思何时了 触景更神驰
悔将红豆采 至惹恨无期

I received an email from an online English teacher, though her goal is to invite me to her paid English class, but I thought at least the first part of her email is pretty good and meaningful, so I shared it here
Hi Zhong,
When I started teaching English in 2009...
The idea that I would teach almost 2,000,000 people...
...was unbelievable.
And honestly, I wasn't a good teacher when I started.
Nobody is good when they start something new.
They are bad. Sometimes terrible.
So... how did I go from being a terrible teacher...
To being one of the best in the world?
The answer is super simple:
I started.
Think about this:
Before you can do something very well...
You must do it very poorly first.
That's called LEARNING.
And when it comes to speaking English...
So many people think they should be able to speak perfectly...
The first time English words come out of their mouth...
Ha!
That's not how it works.
You have to SPEAK A LOT before you are good at it.
That's the biggest difference...
The students in our FB group and our YT channel...
They don't get enough practice to speak fluently.
They read what I write...
But they don't speak with anyone.
How are they going to speak fluently if they never speak?
...
What do you think?

A willingness to share knowledge is what separates the average IT person from the good one.

你无事可做时，未来看起来就会让人灰心丧气。我早已放弃了为人生寻找某种意义之类的事情，但我确实尝试寻找一些有趣的事情来做。
