湖光山色的宏偉 無盡風光美不勝收!
何大一獲頒終身成就獎, 沈向洋博士領導互聯網服務研究中心, 徐玲演講職場的成功
Wonderful, famous rivers and canyons with attractive scenery!
By Jennifer Kung

The traveling article entitled "《旅遊》阿拉斯加夏季之旅" by Writer 揚欣 is impressive as a literature. It was posted on the '旅遊指南' of Worldjournal.com.

"領略阿拉斯加的宏偉:湛藍的天空,巨大的雲朵、巍峨的群山、清澈的河流,廣博原野、不盡的冰川,這一切將久久縈繞在我的心間。 黝黑的山體披掛著雪白的冰線,晶瑩剔透的麥金利峰直插雲霄,成群的野生動物嬉戲於山水之間,亙古不化的冰川懷抱著星羅棋佈的湖泊,不墜的日頭映照著絢麗斑斕的鮮花,這就是阿拉斯加的夏天。這塊亞北極地的原野經歷了漫長凜冽的寒冬之後,趁短暫的夏季,展現自己美麗的風貌所迸發出的強大生命力,令人震撼," wrote Writer 揚欣 vividly.*1

Alaska is beautiful. "To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world," quoted John Muir.

The colorful picture shown with the article by the writer about "北美第一高峰麥金利峰冰清玉潔、雍容華貴" is attractive!

According to 揚欣, "Denali國家公園是到阿拉斯加的必遊之地,公園面積比德克薩斯州(Texas)還大。到那裡主要是看麥金利峰和野生動物。安克拉治到Denali國家公園約240英里,一路上藍天白雲,雪峰連綿,叢林茂密,鮮花鬥豔。遠方的麥金利峰(Mt. McKin-ley)若隱若現,無盡的風光美不勝收。下午到達公園後就去Nenana河坐皮筏漂流。Nenana河水來源於冰川消融,它像一串珍珠鑲嵌在Denali公園邊緣。每年5月中旬河水解凍時,轟隆的裂響聲在數十里山峽間迴蕩,宣示著繁忙的夏季來臨。皮筏漂流(Rafting)有兩種,Paddle和Oak,前者是遊客親持划槳,激流勇進。後者由導遊持槳,遊客可能缺乏會水當擊的快感,卻能輕鬆領略兩岸風光。"

Lots of pictures about these places may be searched from the Internet. "We soon look below on a fine lake [Wonder Lake], ... The outlet of this lake discharges into Moose Creek. Before reaching the top of the mountain ... Soon after starting again we caught glimpses of snowy peaks toward the south, and when we reached the top, Denali and the Alaska Range suddenly burst into view ahead, apparently very near," quoted 'The Wilderness of Denali' by the CJJT's Notes, quotes and thoughts.

揚欣 pointed out the '像絕代美人 橫空出世' that, "Kantishna Tour縱深公園92英里,來回13小時。進山的土路十分簡陋,沿著懸崖蜿蜒入山。汽車駛過塵土飛揚。遇到前方來車都要禮讓,司機互相招手致意。遊客們一進山就尋找麥金利峰,由於山峰重疊,剛進山時看不清全貌,更多時候它又被雲霧繚繞,像面紗輕蓋。車到Wonder Lake停下,眼前豁然開朗,彷彿所有的山峰峭壁向後退隱,麥金利峰像一位絕代美人橫空出世,它是那樣的冰清玉潔、雍容華貴。其倩影倒映在Wonder Lake 湖面上,讓人真正體驗到湖光山色的美境。"

It is valuable! Can we also share with some finding from American Poet Wallace Stevens? He said that, "Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake."

"這天一大早就出發了。遠處白雪皚皚,腳下野花盛開,山路艱難,攀岩跨溪。好在整片山域像是只有我們幾個人,爬在羊腸小徑上也不擔心後有追兵。前兩個小時在青山碧嶺中盤旋,後一個半小時完全是在攀援雪山,有時不得不手足並用。登上雪線的那一刻,巨大冰原豁然展現面前,10萬年亙古不化的冰川就在眼下,剎那間感覺自己凝固在遠古的時光,又彷彿融化在大自然的胸懷。這種自然之美是一種大美,無與倫比,非人力所及。我們在山頂坐了許久,極目遠望,山風輕撫,讓激動的情緒慢慢沉澱為心中的感動。 下得山來,我們就踏上回家的路程。在返回安克拉治的途中,再次領略阿拉斯加的宏偉:湛藍的天空,巨大的雲朵、巍峨的群山、清澈的河流,廣博原野、不盡的冰川,這一切將久久縈繞在我的心間," concluded Writer 揚欣 with a pleasent and heartily rememberance about the nice traveling.*2

Now, let us enjoy some reading on beautiful reivers and canyon. 旅遊經編輯部 had a report about " 大理尋奇、印象麗江 等您尋訪人間仙境" on 2007/07/23. It was posted on the '旅遊' of Yahoo!奇摩新聞". The source was from '旅遊經'. Its colorful logo is shown below the title of the report.

"昆明這座升騰於高山,懸掛在太陽與彩雲下的花園城市。「天氣常如二三月,花枝不斷四時春」這裡沒有嚴冬,亦無酷暑,只有和煦溫暖的陽光;這裡更不是叱吒風雲的政治角力場,也非紙醉金迷的水泥叢林,她只是一方田園牧歌式的棲居地。 麗江古城(世界文化遺產之一)的街上集中了一些有個性的咖啡屋,一家挨著一家,泉水從中川流而過。就在店家門口的走道上,挨著泉水擺放了桌椅。您可以歇一歇腳,喝一杯咖啡。水是玉龍雪山萬年的冰雪水融化、橋是歷經百載的水的守護者、樹是迎風搖曳的垂柳,這座沒有城牆的古城,光亮潔淨的青石板路、完全手工建造的土木房屋、無處不在的小橋流水。" *3 For more details, people may contact 喜鴻旅行社台北 or visit http://www.besttour.com.tw/.

On traveling, we may inspired by the natural scenes. The following quotes may also bring us with some philosophy of life:

"When the river is deepest it makes least noise." ---Proverb

"What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn't have any doubt - it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn't want to go anywhere else." ---Hal Boyle

"If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends." ---John Enoch Powell

The report "《旅遊》船遊長江三峽 體驗壩氣峽情" by writer 吳學銘 was posted by the '旅遊指南' on Worldjournal.com at July 22, 2007 in San Francisco, California.

"舉世聞名的長江三峽大壩,2005年全線完工後,三峽遊雖少了點壯闊,但多了不少景點和樂趣,尤其是遊船過五級船閘的過程,世界罕見。 三峽還是長江上最有賣點的河段,它有熟悉的歷史故事,有豪華的遊船,有美麗的峽谷風光。 更重要的是,遊三峽可以很輕鬆,不用每天搬行李,舒舒服服在船上待個幾天,每天挑個好景點下船走走看看,下午就回到甲板上吹吹風,這種度假的感覺,其實還是很棒。" *4

The art of life depends critically on wisdom, knowledge, and resources. The extra enjoyment of a touring or traveling may be derived from our good planning and nice implementation.

The writer introduced some of the the senic places along the river that, "沿岸下船賞景推薦" --- 1. 神農溪 山幽水奇 2. 白帝城 千古傳誦 3. 船行大壩過五關:

"1. 神農溪在巴東縣境內注入長江,是三峽遊不能錯過的景點,早在三峽大壩築成之前,神農溪就因山幽水奇,深受遊客喜歡;大壩蓄水後,神農溪名氣不減,遊船更加深入,幾乎是三峽遊船必靠景點。 神農溪由龍昌峽、鸚鵡峽和綿竹峽構成,峽谷中有古棧道、懸棺,還有聞名的縴夫,遊客必須從大船換到小船,小船再換扁舟(又稱豌豆角),才能進到上游。行到水窮處,往往就是縴夫們展現陸地拉船、逆水行舟功力的時候。 2. 唐朝詩人李白的「早發白帝城」,「朝辭白帝彩雲間……輕舟已過萬重山」,造就白帝城千古美名。白帝城向來是遊三峽必到景點,它位在瞿塘峽口,奉節縣城東,一面靠山,三面環水;以前有陸路可通,大壩蓄水後,淹沒來路,現在要靠橋過去了。 3. 三峽大壩建成後,搭遊船過大壩,成為有趣的旅遊經驗,所有遊船都必須循序漸進過五級船閘,才能通過三峽大壩。" *5

The following are two recent examples for outstanding achievements of the Chinese people in America. They may relate to the theme of the article about "職場的成功 有賴眼界之開闊" that published in the section of '人與美景 People & Beautiful Scenery' on July 29, 2007.

The report from Washington, D.C. (華盛頓) by 記者于茂芬 of World Journal entitled "何大一獲頒終身成就獎 ---國際青年領袖基金會年會" was posted by the '華人生活圈' of Worldjournal.com.

The reporter 于茂芬 showed us a colorful picture of '何大一接受前聯邦運輸部部長峰田代表頒發的終身成就獎'. She wrote that, "國際著名愛滋病專家何大一 ,26日晚間榮獲國際青年領袖基金會頒發的2007年「終身成就獎」,並應邀擔任年會主講人。他表示,這幾年來常到中國協助宣導預防愛滋病,有機會參與公共教育及公共政策,也深刻體認到參與公共事務的重要,除了實驗室的工作,每個人都有義務做一個關心世界的公民。 何大一介紹自己12歲從台灣來美,他表示,很高興能夠把在美國所學貢獻給自己傳承的土地(land of my heritage)。在中國,他扮演科學家的機會較少,反而是戴上老師、推動者、治療者、輔導者及啦啦隊等角色的帽子。" *6

With good vision plus work and enthusiasm, young people may have a bright opportunity. "Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no matter how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles." ---Og Mandino (1923-1996, Speaker and Author)

"不過他認為,這也使他在實驗室作研究之餘,還能兼顧到醫生的角色,參與愛滋病的防治工作及公共衛生的教育和宣導工作,使他的職業生涯劃成一個圓滿的圓圈。他希望國際青年領袖基金會的實習生們也能像他一樣,有機會碰上自己熱愛的領域,並把握機會及迎接挑戰,不論是在那個領域,堅決而持之以恆地把事情做到最好," described Reporter 于茂芬 vividly on 愛滋病專家何大一's inspiration on career life.*7

The '科技' of Yahoo!奇摩新聞 posted a report on "微軟建立致力於搜索和廣告技術的應用研究部門" at 06:39 on 2007/07/27. The information (消息來源) is from 微軟公司 with the news released by 美通社-華盛頓州雷蒙德電.

"微軟公司 (Microsoft Corp.) 今天宣布,該公司成立應用研究機構 Internet Services Research Center(互聯網服務研究中心,簡稱 ISRC),旨在加快搜索和廣告技術創新,將作為微軟研究院 (Microsoft Research) 的一部分, 該團隊將與 MSN 及該公司其他產品部門密切合作。 微軟任命晉升為公司副總裁的 Harry Shum 博士來領導 ISRC。自2007年早些時候起,Shum 就擔任搜索與廣告平台部門首席科學家。他於1996年加盟微軟,擔任微軟研究院研究員、研究經理、助理董事總經理、微軟亞洲研究院董事總經理以及傑出工程師。" *8

The following three paragraphs quoted may remind us about Harry's concern on career development and young people:

[[[ Early in September, I spoke to many college students in Beijing. At the time when I was ready to take the freight to go back to U. S., Managing Director Dr. Harry Shum (沈向洋博士) of Microsoft Research Asia (微软亚洲研究院) requested me to write down the findings of those communications. "He believes that in this way it will benefit many more Chinese young people," said Sun-yuan.

"耶鲁大学的心理学家彼得暽陈逦≒eter Salovey)正式提出了“情商”(Emotion Quotient)的概念。沙洛维认为情商包含五类基本素质:认识自身情绪;妥善管理情绪;自我激励;认知他人情绪;人际管理。 一个世纪以来心理学家们对人类智能规律的探索揭示出了通往成功的基本路途,成功=智商+情商," pointed out Dr. Sun-Yuan Kung in the article.

"快乐就是做自己喜欢的事情,就是自由的感觉。最后,成功=自信与快乐=IQ+EQ+AQ。虽然成功受很多因素影响,如远见(Vision)、目标(Goal)、毅力(Persistence),但只要你尊重自己、尊重他人、敬畏自然,即便不是每次都能做“成功的事”,但终究可以成为一位成功的人,尽情享受自信与快乐。" ]]] *9

'Rashid 表示:“作為微軟研究院亞洲的微軟亞洲工程院的領導者,Harry 一直以來表現出了技術上的創新能力,而且還表現出了激發和領導卓越研究團隊的能力。選擇 Harry 來領導 ISRC 是對微軟亞洲研究院 (Microsoft Research Asia) 成功的認可,也是對我們北京研究院人員才能和專長的信任。” 該新成立的組織將把該公司的研究成果匯集起來,開發與促進廣告和搜索技藝進步的技術。Shum 表示:“我們都擁有整個公司最強大的研究團隊。他們具有卓越意識,飽含激情,為開發新一代搜索和廣告技術努力工作。我們將充分發揮其才能和智慧,將他們緊密聯合起來。” Shum 表示,該公司將在為微軟帶來最佳、最聰明的人才方面繼續投入,解決最棘手的技術問題,推出最具創新性的技術。' *10

The report entitled "徐玲:職場成功 有賴眼界開闊" by 記者吳日君 of World Journal from Santa Clara, California (聖他克拉拉) had been shown in the way as a quick news the day before yesterday here in this section, because we intended to let interesting people know the hour and location of the speech. The subtitle of the report was "鼓勵基層員工越級幫大老闆著想 主管不與底下搶功 上下互動良好 齊心辦好公司".*11

徐玲受邀北加州北京大學校友會,28日在聖他克拉拉市圖書館 (Santa Clara City Library,地址:2635 Homestead Road, Santa Clara, CA 95051)演講,the topic was about "The development of a career life".

"她提出「提升兩個層級以建立成功職場」(Two levels up step to build successful career)理論,鼓勵矽谷華人若想在職場成功,必須開放心胸、拓展視野,幫助老闆成功的同時,也幫助自己成長。 網路興盛時期離開IBM,因緣際會來到曾被譽為「全美最有影響華裔女性」之一張若玫創辦公司Vit-ria,七年間從經理、資深經理、總監、副總裁、資深副總裁等職位爬升,負責管理全球支援、訓練、IT、計畫管理、研發等部門,Vit-ria全球有三百多人,約70%都在徐玲管轄區域。 「領導人必須是老師,協助基層員工發展,不和底下搶功,公司整體素質才能提高。」徐玲在公司每周一次幫經理級主管上課,共同討論分享管理技巧,從管理技巧訓練、解決問題案例討論到生活態度,她強調,如果主管只想從底下人搶功勞、不願意教導付出,上下互動不良,關係亦無法長久。" *12

"Rapid changes in technology and global competition have combined to reshape the corporate landscape. Corporate management has responnded to these changes by iniatating sweeping changes. The introduction of new technology may be touted as a productivity booster and turn out instead to be a total bust. Whatever the problem may be, you're the one who has to deal with it on a daily basis. Even when new ideas are well thought out, there are still problems in putting them into practice within your group," George Fuller wrote in the 'Introduction' of his book, "Win/win management: leading people in the new workplace."*13

There are lots of common headaches most of supervisors and leaders have to confront. "It's easy to understand how the broad scope these problems can easily lead to a less than steller attitude toward your job. However, adoping a sense of futility only serve to make matters worse. On the other hand, maintain a positive attitude helps you place things in perspective and can make coping eith problems a lot easier to do."*14

"談職場生涯規劃,如果在公司體系向上升職?如何應付職場Poli-tics?徐玲認為,公司內上下,最大利益應以公司為主,員工的視野需放寬廣,不只幫直屬老闆設想,還須跨越兩層,設身處地幫大老闆想,協助老闆們往前走,等於是加大自己的天地,齊心合力把事情做好的同時,也成就自身領導技巧。 徐玲鼓勵矽谷人,多接觸美國社會文化,平日除了工作之外,多看電視影集、運動,「藉著生活,了解美國,也犒賞自己。」她說,公司就是一齣喜劇,主管就是導演,員工是演員,如何讓每個演員發揮才能、扮演好所在角色,讓事情變成有趣,觀眾 (客戶)不會無聊而感興趣 (購買產品),喜劇賣座 (公司獲利),才是成功。" *15

"People worry about the huge amount of creativity that is wasted---lost forever---because talented people are prevented from giving their best by their lack of ability to influence others effectively," wrote Dr. Ken Blanchard in the 'Foreword' of the book entitled "Winning Ways," written by Dick Lyles.*16 "The business world has changed; organizations are getting flatter and more networked. Today, the key to success is one's ability to exercise peer leadership. The most successful individuals shine because of their ability to influence, empower, and energize others. In essence, they embody the principles and practices of Winning Ways."

"「每個人都是星星,有強項有弱項,強調強項,用強項帶動弱項,那就會是顆發亮的星,而不只是個小球 (small ball)。」徐玲常常與底下員工說,目前大家一起工作,未來,也有可能角色扮演不同,「可能我要替你工作。」她認為,清高傲慢的人,只能和自己獨處;在同一工作環境,大家一起工作、一起學習做事,一起「Have Fun」,丟掉小我,以團隊為主,幫助老闆成功,等於也給了自己更多機會。"*17

Learning is importing. To learn key talents for study is also necessary. Indeed, business achievement is the new yardstick of success in today's society. Therefore, business has become not only the fastest growing major in undergraduate institutions but also in graduate school of famous universities, nationally and internationally. The emphasis of the online communication skills and the quantitative analysis techniques with computers is one of the most important study for the art of success to the business students, professionals, executives, and owners.

According to the above report by 記者吳日君, 徐玲 (Eliz-abeth Xu) 為Vitria Technology 資深副總裁, 擁有北京大學物理學士、環境保護碩士,1990年來到美國,1995年取得內華達大學 ( Univer-sity of Nevada)大氣物理博士、電腦科學碩士。"鼓勵她融入美國主流社會,同時培養開放認真的工作與生活態度。" has been Elizabeth Xu's inspiration from her 兩位美籍終生導師的結識.

President Dr. Andrew K. Benton of Pepperdine University inspired us by the following: "Reaching up, reaching beyond, always pressing forward; this is the passion of the human spirit." We are certainly being challenged! His message on "Progress and Promises" has brought us with a brilliant vision with action.*18

In studying the above publications, this article has been implemented as a reading study. As a sincere reader, I acknowledge the credit of contribution to 揚欣, 旅遊經, 吳學銘, 于茂芬, 微軟公司, 吳日君, and among others on its most parts of the portion in Chinese.

Getting along in this world depends a lot on getting along with others. G. M. Verity told us that, "Cooperation is spelled with two letters -- WE." It is just a little interest or a small hobby in reading. With intellectual skills for E. Q., people can avoid to be something in related to what Albert Einstein's "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." *19 The sky is beautiful and laymen may sometime bring people with some fun!

This reading study has been extended to three reports in tourism.

Reporter 何方 brings us with a touring news for this summer. The report was entitled "洛城近郊酒店 休閒好去處".

"暑假是家人相聚在一起的時間,如果週末想在洛杉磯附近輕鬆一下,花費不多就可以短途旅行。 洛杉磯往聖地牙哥的路上,有一家酒店St. Regis,提供很多方便家庭的遊玩計畫,可以滑水,也可以帶自家的寵物前往,這是大多數酒店不能提供的。另外,這裡的每間屋子都有隱秘的陽台可眺望景觀,因此好萊塢的實景秀「Fabulous Life」曾在這裡拍攝,就連小甜甜布蘭妮也曾在這裡下榻。" *1

"洛杉磯市中心小東京附近的新奧塔尼酒店(The New Otani),兼具邁阿密風光到五?年代假日酒店(Holiday Inn)特色。不過,最有特色的是建在四樓的日式花園,包括池塘、瀑布以及一大片的綠色景觀。尤其難得的是距離華埠和蒙特利公園市等華裔社區不遠,夏季的夜晚三五好友相約,到此喝啤酒聊天,是不錯的休閒活動。如果有朋自遠方來,特別對好萊塢感興趣,一定要帶他們去日落塔酒店(Sunset Tower)看看,這個建於1929年的古典建築,位於8358 W. Sunset Blvd.,曾經出現在很多電影和電視中,頗具好萊塢特色。*2

"想要去香港旅遊,暑期最便宜,航空業者不但推出兩人同行只要8888元,甚至還有業者送出迪士尼門票,想撿便宜得加緊腳步。 中華航空表示,暑假對遊客來說是旅遊旺季,但實則為香港的旅遊淡季,一般遊客在暑假由香港是最便宜,緊接在暑期之後的九月商務季節、大型會議多半在香港舉行,屆時不但機票難取得、甚至連飯店都一房難求,想玩香港其實要趁暑假。 中華航空精緻旅遊「幸福起飛」系列促銷即推出選購Novotel Citygate Hotel 2天1夜迪士尼促銷, 選購九龍香格里拉酒店香港3天2夜。 中華航空:www.china-airlines.com;長榮航空:www.evaair.com 更多旅遊新聞請上「旅遊經」 www.travelrich.com.tw *3

To enjoy the publicity of Chinese writings on touring, we like to be its readers.

It is an interesting finding that after the section "人與美景 People & Beautiful Scenery" was openned, the terminnology "美景" is appearring on the titles of some newspaper reports.

"家家臨水 戶戶泊船美景 柯洛納多市名不虛傳" is a report written by Reporter 李大明 on the Worldjournal.com:

"由「金錢」(Money)雜誌剛評出的全美一百座最適合居住城市中,聖地牙哥縣以旖旎風光、傳奇故事與威武戰艦而出名的柯洛納多市(Coronado)幸運當選。名列38的柯洛納多,與美國海軍基地各占柯洛納多島的一半。小城只有2萬5900人口,但每年接待的遊客不知凡幾。四方訪客最主要的目的地,是有紅色尖頂的百年老店—柯洛納多大旅館。據記載,二次大戰後的每一位美國總統都曾下榻於此," reported the "洛杉磯新聞" of Worldjournal.com.*4

To understand more about the event, we may have information from CNNmony.com. The following is an example:

"A City, of a state
What do you think of ???(a city), the No. ? city on this year's Best Places to Live list? What makes it a great American town? ... How are the schools? ... If you don't live there now, would you consider moving there? ..."

"據統計,全市白種人占人口75%,拉丁裔占10.38%,其他所有族裔加起來還不到15%。但這些因素瑕不掩瑜,未能動搖柯洛納多最適於居住的本色,也使聖地牙哥人為之欣慰與自豪。" continued the report.*5

A special interview has been completed by World Journal 記者邱紹璟 in 紐約. The report, entitled "李明星 將茶店發展成茶趣餐廳 ---與妻在美推廣 自零到六家店面 獲選為天仁茗茶集團董事長", was posted in the section of '華人生活圈' of the Chinese newspaper on July 20, 2007.

"紐約天仁茗茶總經理李明星,上個月在台灣舉行的股東會中,獲選為天仁茗茶集團董事長。李明星日前已返回紐約,除了計畫未來如何拓展歐美市場、將品茶文化引進青少年族群以外,19日也分享了他從小在台灣南投茶樹下玩耍長大,學種茶樹,到後來開拓美國茶葉市場,與夫人四處推銷的篳路藍縷過程。茶農世家出生的李明星,擁有一身品茶專業功夫,賢內助劉艾倫懂得展現茶道藝術之美,她稱讚丈夫的踏實、誠懇,李明星則感謝妻子的實踐家精神,伉儷間的合作默契佳,其成功並非偶然。李明星覺得成功的要件是「毅力」選定目標後,就持之以恆地一步步做。" *6

Persistence and faith are significant to help realize what about "we'll make a change!" Chairman Li's feeling on the importance of 「毅力」to success is inspiring. "The strongest oak tree of the forest is not the one that is protected from the storm and hidden from the sun. It's the one that stands in the open where it is compelled to struggle for its existence against the winds and rains and the scorching sun," quoted Napoleon Hill. The encouragement in this quote by writer Hill (1883-1970) might extend to our young people who are looking for success with an ideal or a goal.*7

李明星是從福建到台灣的第八代居民,世代務農,曾祖父為茶商,叔公將茶山賣去岡山做茶生意,堂叔1953年創辦天仁茗茶,是全亞洲首家上市的茶葉公司。

Jennifer selected this report in Chinese to share reading with our friends. May be we can digest some of the inspiration from the following quotes together with the report:

*** "Small opportunities are often the beginging of great enterprises." --- Demosthenes
*** "The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit." --- Moliere
*** "Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity." --- Oprah Winfrey

"成功大學工程科學系畢業後隔天,李明星馬上到苗栗頭份茶園報到上工,學習茶葉粗製、精製流程。他形容其間過程十分辛苦,要能扛百斤茶葉才算過關,還必須學習品茶以鑑定價格。在取得彼得杜拉克管理學院碩士後,他於1983年與妻子開始打拼美國西岸市場。劉艾倫說一路走來篳路藍縷,為了找店面在曼哈坦華埠被罵出來過,開著漂亮店面卻吸引不到客人,直到獲得紐約時報青睞報導,漸漸名聲遠播,紐約市現有六家店面。天仁茗茶從傳統式茶店,開始發展成以茶融入飲食的「喫茶趣」餐廳型態,李明星希望實現全球化產業,拓展歐洲市場,並將茶入菜的概念餐廳引進紐約。" *8

In studying the above publications, this article has been implemented as a reading study. As a sincere reader, I acknowledge the credit of contribution to 何方, 許瓊文, 李大明, 邱紹璟, and among others on its most parts of the portion in Chinese.

Getting along in this world depends a lot on getting along with others. G. M. Verity told us that, "Cooperation is spelled with two letters -- WE." It is just a little interest or a small hobby in reading. *9 The sky is beautiful and laymen may sometime bring people with some fun!

西藏旅遊熱 炒熱觀光 拉薩流行開民宿
趙小蘭勉勵亞裔培養領導力
The sky is beautiful for touring in scenic places!
By Jennifer Kung

In touring, we would like to introduce a report on "西藏旅遊熱 拉薩流行開民宿' by 記者尤美心.

"青藏鐵路通車滿一年,西藏旅遊正熱門,西藏人的生活跟著轉變。而這些改變在拉薩最熱鬧的八角街上最明顯,短短8百公尺,1年來,就增加20家藝品店,許多住在這的西藏人更把自家樓房改成民宿出租,這種藏式民宿大受歡迎,1個月可以淨賺台幣1萬元以上。2層樓高的建築,別具風情的內院迴廊,與鮮明的色彩,這是典型的拉薩民居,但這坐在天井裡悠閒喝茶的,可不是西藏人。遊客:「我從台灣來的,因為我們人在西藏嘛,住這種藏式建築的家庭旅館,我覺得挺好的,比較親切。」," wrote 尤美心 on the '旅遊' of Yahoo!奇摩新聞".*1 The source was from 'TVBS' . Its colorful logo is shown below the title of the report.

"All, from the greast to humblest, must work together in harmony and devotion. We can make no advances with only solo work. Unless the solooists and the members of the chorus are ready to work together in harmony, there can be no symphony," pointed out Jackson Wilcox. To enjoy the publicity of Chinese writings on touring, we like to be its readers.

"西藏旅遊團導遊:「我們是去西藏的。」記者:「你們這團有多少人?」西藏旅遊團導遊:「我們這是30多人。」記者:「現在去西藏的人多嗎?」西藏旅遊團導遊:「還行,挺多的。」遊客:「提前10天之內(買票),肯定買不到,臥鋪相當難買。」 北京車站裡,滿滿的人,都在等著搭火車到西藏一遊,現在到拉薩的火車票很珍貴,臥鋪一票難求,青藏鐵路帶來商機無限,但因為過多的遊客,也讓布達拉宮、大昭寺不得不限制參觀人數,方興未艾的西藏旅遊潮,讓西藏人發了旅遊財,同時也徹底改變了他們的生活," descibed 尤美心 vividly.*2

At 7:51 a.m. on 071307 from the "全球即時動態" of Worldjournal.com, we could read a report on "趙小蘭勉亞裔培養領導力 ---演講成功經歷 強調勇於表達熱情 建立人際網路注重溝通" written by 記者許惠敏 in Washington, D.C.

Managers are people who do things right, while leaders are people who do the right thing. - Warren Bennis, Ph.D. "On Becoming a Leader"
In delivering the impressive speech about "Leadership" on this Conference, she (Elaine) herself is leading brightly!

"由美國各級政府亞太裔高階人員組成的「亞太裔政府主管聯絡網」(Asian American Government Ex-ecutives Network),12日在華府舉行第三屆領袖研習會,勞工部長趙小蘭在會中勉勵有心更上層樓的高階亞太裔政府人員,「作自己生涯的主宰」。 應邀擔任午餐演講人的勞工部長趙小蘭以「作自己生涯的主宰」(Take Charge of Your Career)為題,作半小時演說,和與會者分享她從求學到就業、逐步成為主管的歷程。尤其當趙小蘭談到處在中、美文化夾縫中,一路摸索、學習、成長,讓與會同屬移民的政府人員,格外覺得親切。趙小蘭說,要想在政府或公共事務領域一展長才,第一步是要找到適才適所的機會,而人際網路、口語及書寫溝通能力和在職進修,則是自我提升及受人賞識不可少的要件," reported 許惠敏.*3

"Asian American Government Executives Network will hold their third annual Leadership Conference July 12, in Washington, DC. The training conference is targeted towards Federal employees. The theme for this year is 'Take Charge of Your Career'," announced Linda M. Springer, Director of United States Office of Personal Management, about the "Asian American Government Executives Network (AAGEN) Third Annual Leadership Conference" promptly before the date.*4

"趙小蘭說,東方文化標榜中庸之道,過冷、過熱皆不宜,但在美國社會,「熱情」(passion)卻是選擇專業不可或缺的元素。她表示,「興趣加技能」是生涯規劃的第一步,「領導能力」則是有心在職場更上一層樓的必要條件。她說「領導能力可以經由後天培養及練習獲致」,如參與義務服務工作、勇於自我推薦、不斷學習等,都是可努力的途徑。 趙小蘭說,民主社會強調溝通、自我表達,不同意見的激盪,正是學習處理歧見的機會。" *5

"Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things." -Denis Diderot
This is a quote that can emphasize the importance of the finding about "Passion" on professionalism by U. S. Secretary of Labor Ealine Chao.

At 6:37 a.m. (.com y) today, leading search engines have shown vanward a publication by Elaine on the Internet:

北京鳥巢奧運館 美!
博士尢梁澐 以茱麗亞標準教琴
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever" !
By Jennifer Kung

It is our pleasure to introduce a report on touring about some beautiful scenery today.

In the report by 編譯夏嘉玲, "泰晤士報:北京鳥巢奧運館 美!" is posted on the '旅遊' of Yahoo!奇摩新聞 today. The source was from '聯合新聞網' udn.com. Its colorful logo is shown below the title of the report.
"營建熱潮席捲全球,英國泰晤士報評選出十項進行中規模最大、最具雄心的建築計畫,中國大陸就有三項建築上榜,入選建築還包括坐落於埃及吉薩、華裔美籍建築師彭士佛參與設計的大埃及博物館。大陸上榜建築全部位於北京,分別是戲稱為「鳥巢」的二○○八年奧運主場館、北京首都機場三號航站大廈,以及中央電視台新大樓。泰晤士報對這足以改變建築面貌的十大建築褒貶不一,闢有「美女或野獸」的評議項目。外觀如巨型鳥巢的北京奧運主場館獲評為「美觀」," delivered the 編譯夏嘉玲.*1

John Keats said that, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever."

The desire to persuit knowledge is for everybody. A wise man is always open to and looks for new ideas. One of the most precious human resource is the desire to improve. People can learn much by doing.

"樓高七層、面積達卅萬坪的本┦锥紮C場大量採用紅、金兩種傳統中國色彩,與建築師福斯特以往的設計風格大相逕庭,三點九公里長的大廈呈一條龍走勢,也十分中國。"

The talent of playing piano is important. The teaching methodology on how to get students learned in this art is even more important. For a teacher in piano, her success is founded both on her capability and enthusiasm.

"「教導每位學生發揮最大的潛能是我的願望,」曾在茱麗亞音樂學院(Juil-liard School )音樂學院及休斯頓大學(University of Houston)就讀並任教的尢梁澐表示,她將茱麗亞及西方音樂的教學、訓練方法帶給灣區華裔學子,希望有更多的一流音樂家在這裡產生," reported 記者王慶偉.*2

The report of a people entitled "茱麗亞音樂院碩士、休斯頓大學博士尢梁澐 以茱麗亞標準教琴" by him in San Jose was just published today on the '舊金山新聞' of Worldjournal.com in San Francisco, California.

"尢梁澐在茱麗亞碩士班選讀音樂教學,一邊讀書也一邊教書,到了休大之後(攻讀博士)也是邊學邊教,理論實際兼俱,各種音樂教學方法也經驗豐富。 為能就近照顧父母,也因灣區鋼琴學子眾多,尢梁澐移居灣區,開始教從幼稚園到高中的學生,原因「這階段的學生可塑性最高,也能紮下應有的基礎。」"

Her findings on the teaching and learning of piano are bright: "「彈琴是個嚴格、完整的訓練,」尢梁澐指出,彈琴訓練學生的耐心、紀律、視覺聽覺、手腦眼的協調配合、感情的投入,還有上台演出,「對孩子是很好的訓練及教育,也對學習任何事物都有幫助。」 尢梁澐教鋼琴,不是她怎麼彈,學生就照著彈;而是依每位學生的個性及程度,給予幾種不同的選擇,「每個人對樂曲都有不同的詮釋,給學生有適當選擇,就可以發揮他的潛能。」" *3

I long to accomplish a great and noble task;
but it is my chief duty and job to accomplish humble
tasks as though they were great and noble,
Te world is moved along,
not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes,
but also by the aggregate of the tiny
pushes of each honest worker.

--- Helen Keller *7

The integrity and innovation to enhance our service in this section
By Mark Denton, Valerie Weber, and Jennifer Kung

***** "John F. Kennedy was a living example of Mitchell Kapor's belief that, 'If you can genuinely present a picture that makes sense to people, that unifies the seemingly disperate elements of their experience, if you can give people something they can resonate with because it's meaningful, then they'll be immensely responsive to it.' JFK presented that picture and America responded." *1

"All, from the greast to humblest, must work together in harmony and devotion. We can make no advances with only solo work. Unless the solooists and the members of the chorus are ready to work together in harmony, there can be no symphony," said Jackson Wilcox *2

"Since I shall be in Washington, D.C., I believe that I shall be constantly reminded of the ideals that are the subject of the messages and quotations contained in your correspondence, particularly those about vision, enthusiasm, and assistance," wrote Nevada District Judge Mark R. Denton to Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on June 18, 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada.*3

"The willingness to create a new vision is a statement of your belief in your potential," pointed out David McNally. Carl Schutz told us that, "Ideals are like stars. You will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides and following them you will reach your destiny." It is our pleasure to inspire the significance of the idea, "The world of tomorrow belongs to the person who has the vision today," which was stated by Robert Schuller. Having good vision, we will bring it together with us to help promote a peaceful, happy, and healthy community.

"Vision seems to be an elusive yet import life principle. Your vision describes the ideal future for you to attain. It provides meaning and direction while forcing you to break through present limitations. Holding a clear picture in your mind of the desired future will mobilize your creative efforts and generate the desire and energy to perform," edited Glenn Ekeren in his book entitled "Speaker's Source Book II".

Vision may develop its power to direct what tommorrow will look like. Vision is having an acute sense of the possible. The thing what others can not see, it can be seen by vision. Something extraordinary will occur when those with similar visions are drawn together. The goal of John F. Kennedy set in 1960 to place a man on the moon by 1970 drew many million people's efforts in achieving the dream. John had the vision. The result is now history with reality.*4

Enthusiasm is important, especially very important to many things in our lives. We need to push our valuable vision through enthusiasm. "Nothing good or great can be done in the absence of enthusiasm," said Tom Peters.

We are quite inspired by the words of wisdom as said by Alan Loy McGinnis that, "There is no more noble occupation in the world than to assist another human being--to help someone succeed." Vision with enthusiasm may bring us with hope to serve our people, community, and country!

We may like to agree with what Dr. Thomas Dooley said that, "Dedicate some of your life to others. Your dedication will not be a sacrifice. It will be an exhilarating experience because it is intense effort applied toward a meaningful end."

To promote educational forums and community services are two of the most important missions of WBTI. "Mr. Pepperdine was really a visionary who put energy and ingenuity into his dreams. The institution (Pepperdine University) he founded has continued to dream and to be an encourager of vision. We have often quoted Daniel Hudson Burnham, who, at the turn of the twentieth century, said, 'Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood... Make big plans, aim high in hope and work.' We believe that students (or alumnus) ought to begin with a commitment to outstanding academics. But there are other elements that are also important. Students (and alumnus) need a heart for excellence and a soul that makes big plans and aims high. In addition, without a foundation of ethics, character, and faith, we believe true success is impossible. We hope you are among those who want to soar beyond mediocrity and reach for the magic that will 'stir men's blood'," stated President Dr. Andrew K. Benton of Pepperdine University.*5

Thanks to the concerned institutions' courtesy and acceptence to allow us to deliver their information for community service during past many years.

The management philosophy that inspired us by Dr. Peter F. Drucker is valuable! He told us that, "Any business that does not learn how to innovate within the next few years will not be around by the year 2000." We shall innovate the service on this section with new performance by original writings both in Chinese and English from our faculty members and friends.

新七大奇景出爐 第一個唸出的是…萬里長城
By 記者:國際中心

"Hu Jintao, President; Business & Tourism" at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti
The following report is posted through the courtesy of the "旅遊" of Yahoo!奇摩新聞:

[[[ A colorful logo about ETtoday "東森". ]]]

更新日期:2007/07/08 09:34 記者:國際中心/台北報導
全球矚目的七大奇景名單,終於在台北時間8日清晨6點於葡萄牙里斯本公布名單,中國的萬里長城果然不負眾望,成為第一個被宣佈獲選的七大奇景。

同樣位在亞洲的泰姬瑪哈陵,也在稍後公佈,成為第二個獲選的七大奇景。另外古羅馬競技場、約旦的佩特拉古城、巴西基督像、祕魯的印加古城以及墨西哥的瑪雅金字塔,也分別進入七大奇景名單。

不過令人詫異的,許多呼聲極高的奇景,如復活島巨像以及雅典衛城都落榜,引發不小的爭議。

「世界新七大奇景基金會」是在1999年由瑞士裔探險家、加拿大籍電影製片人韋伯成立,並發起票選活動,目的是在喚醒世人注意全球人造或是天然美景所面臨的破壞,用來取代在西元前200年由羅馬建築師費隆評選的舊七大奇景,舊七大奇景僅由費隆一人評選,且目前只有埃及金字塔還存在世上。

但新七大奇景為人詬病的是,它是由私人機構主辦票選,且是經由網路和手機投票執行,被批評公正性不足。像是使用網路票選,有重覆投票的可能性,柬埔寨則是認為因為網路化程度比較低,可能會影響吳哥窟的得票,埃及政府則是不願讓金字塔和自由女神一類的景觀相提並論,因此採取抵制的態度。

聯合國教科文組織日前發表聲明,與新七奇景劃清界線,指投票結果與世界遺產完全無關,僅是反映投票網友的意見,對古蹟維護和保存並沒有實際意義。

【瞭望福建】福州三坊七巷明 清古建築博物館
By 陸惠玲

"Hu Jintao, President; Business & Tourism" at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti
The following report is posted through the courtesy of the "旅遊" of Yahoo!奇摩新聞:

[[[ A colorful logo about "TVBS". ]]]

大陸福建的「三坊七巷」,被稱為是「明清古建築博物館」,為了保護這處古文物,大陸斥資將近120億台幣的經費,遷移3千多戶居民,要重新維修所有的古建築,將它完整的保留下來。

優靜的巷弄,有著古色古香的人文風格,福州的三坊七巷被大陸建築界,稱為是「明清古建築博物館」,三坊七巷建於西晉末年,佔地40公頃,擁有268處明清時期的古建築,體現了閩越古城的民居特色,甚至成為藝術家發揮創作的地點。

風土書畫研究所長張承杰:「它住的基本上都是底層的,房租也是比較便宜,但不是因為這裡房租便宜,我看中這個地方,它古樓的意境,一個鬧中取靜。」

大夥喝茶聊天,濃濃的藝術氣息,感染了這兒所有的居民。張承杰:「尤其特別是下雨的時候,漫步在這街頭巷弄,你本身就是真正實實在在的生活,尤其畫畫搞藝術的,真的要去接觸,是和大地直接接觸。」

不過,木造的老房子,終究難抵時光的摧殘,福建市斥資將近台幣120億,進行老巷弄的維修,要讓古建築的文化風采延續下去。

世界新7大奇景 京都清水寺有望

[[[ A picture shows the "京都之美,廣為人知。「清水寺」更是遊人必訪重點." A colorful logo about "旅遊經". (WBTI editor's note) ]]]

更新日期:2007/07/05 08:01 記者:旅遊經編輯部趙德瑤/報導
京都之美,廣為人知。京都一遊,「清水寺」更是遊人必訪重點,無論春櫻三月雪、夏涼、秋楓還是冬雪時節,各有可觀之處。不過您或許不知道,2007年的7月7日後造訪京都東山,屆時清水寺的頭銜可能會多了一個「新世界七大奇景」。

眾說紛紜的世界七大奇景

最早的世界七大奇景是上古世紀傳說中的「巴比倫空中花園」、「林匹亞的宙斯神像」絕大部分因地震、火災及人為因素毀壞, 世上僅存埃及的金字塔。後來的人再度提出中古世紀七大奇景之說,這一次入選的包括了中國的萬里長城、義大利比薩斜塔、羅馬大競技場,而中國的秦陵兵馬俑也特別被提出為世界第八奇景。還有一種常見的「世界七大自然奇景」之說。這是美國人洛厄爾·托馬斯在環遊世界時所提出的,針對非人為釜鑿的大自然景觀選出了包括美國大峽谷、阿拉斯加冰河灣、以及世界最高峰珠穆朗瑪峰等七大自然奇景。

長久以來,所謂的「世界七大奇景」不斷發生爭議。一個由瑞士非營利組織組成的「新世界七大奇景基金會」在2000年發起,從最初與聯合國教科文組織(UNESCO)共同評選的200個提名名單,減少到77個,2005年底,新世界七大奇景基金會再與世界頂尖建築專家遴選出其中的 21項,並且在2006年1月1日公開這份名單,最終的「世界新七大奇景」將交由世界共同決定。任何人都可透過上網或電話投票,最終決選將在2007年的7月7日在葡萄牙首都里斯本宣布。

音羽山清水寺 京都最古木構廟堂

京都作為日本古都長達1200年的歷史,承襲了世界相當重要的文化財產,其中以建於西元798的清水寺是京都最古老的寺院,1994年被指定為世界文化遺產,無論就歷史或宗教都佔了極重要的地位。

清水寺內主供奉千手觀音,寺內包括正殿、三重塔、鐘樓、地主神社等共30棟木構建物,正殿尤其被日本列為國寶級文物。寬達19公尺、深16公尺的正殿,立於懸崖峭壁之上,殿前清水舞台則由139根、12公尺高的毛櫸柱支撐,令人驚歎的是139根木頭全是卡隼而成,未動用到半根釘子,氣勢宏偉恢弘,又因其高險,日本人常在表達決心時以「從清水舞臺上跳下來」作為比喻。另外,正殿舞台也是相當知名的賞春櫻、秋狩楓的好地點,清水舞台上放眼望去可收大半個京都景色。

世界新7大奇景全球公投 2007.07.07全球公佈

21個代表各國的世界景點公佈後,「世界新七大奇景」之旅,便開始一一走訪全球入圍景點,並同時以影像紀錄完整的活動內容。在上個月14日已經走訪第10站的京都清水寺後,接下來的11站行程將在2007年的3月,以美國的自由女神作為終點站。

有興趣投票的民眾可上N7W的網站觀看整個紀錄,同時也可為世界新7大奇景的決選投下珍貴的一票。

《四川遊蹤》穿古越今蜀道行
By 陳汶彬

The following report is posted through the courtesy of the "旅遊" of Yahoo!奇摩新聞:

[[[ A colorful logo about "'時報資訊' InfoTimes". (WBTI editor's note) ]]]

更新日期:2007/07/04 10:27 記者:【陳汶彬/四川報導】
踏上古蜀道,可以知道「蜀道難」所言不虛,而今重修後之驛道,卻讓人集讚嘆、悲愴、辛酸於一身。

隨著科技的進步,曾經被李白喟嘆:「蜀道難,難於上青天」的蜀道,已經不再難了,不過,古驛道的修築真有那麼難?其真面目如何?凌空架於峽谷的木棧道真的能夠跑馬?這些疑惑,在我跑了一趟四川後,不僅茅塞頓開,而且還深慶有幸踏上古驛道。

■明月峽最驚險

古蜀道自秦嶺而下,沿途山巒重疊,過天梯、通石棧,百步九折,經劍門關至梓潼七曲山南麓的送險亭,直至白馬關止。自戰國以來,即是歷代由漢中通往巴蜀的一條主要驛道,又稱金牛道。目前雖已逐步在修,但有多段為公路截斷,已無法恢復舊觀。

最驚險、最有代表性的一段位於廣元城北23公里處,離朝天鎮南邊1公里嘉陵江畔的明月峽,扼守著川陝公路的咽喉,而且兩岸絕壁如削,江濤拍岸,位置險要,戰國時即在山腰絕壁上修有木棧道,諸葛亮又在此大興土木,時至今日仍可通人。

公元316年秦惠王由此道滅蜀,西漢劉邦派蕭何維修棧道,軍糧和居民都由此出川,三國孔明對棧道又做了整修並擴建,最寬曾達5公尺,可容2匹馬並駕齊驅。當年的木棧道有3層,最上層是可遮風擋雨的雨棚,第2層為行道,下層則是支架層,支架層一般有2、3層,孔明修築時曾多達5層。

■集古今6道於一身

木棧道原本長1800公尺,現修復可供行走有400公尺,同時由於幾千年來水位的變化,目前的行道已提高至當年的雨棚位置,而雨棚也就因此廢棄不再修築。

整修過的明月峽木棧道,曾被中央電視台「三國演義」劇組相中,借用拍攝魏延「火燒棧道」畫面;走在這段集古棧道、古縴夫道、嘉陵江水道、驛道、川陝公路和寶成鐵路古今6道於一身的峽谷上,那種萬里征戰的豪氣干雲油然而生。

《旅遊》高攀扎薩格 川西第一大秘境
By 吳學銘

"Hu Jintao, President; Business & Tourism" at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti
The following report is posted through the courtesy of the "《旅遊》- 世界周刊" of Worldjournal.com:

[[[ A colorful logo about "WJ '世界新聞web'". (WBTI editor's note) ]]]

 [[[扎薩格壯闊且奇特的山容,遊客探訪莫不動容。]]]
 [[[非常特別的扎薩格之窗,中空的石洞給人無限想像空間。]]]

剛被千萬網友選為中國最具潛力新美景獎的「扎薩格」,她的美麗深藏千年人未識,但很多神話卻自遠古傳頌至今,是藏人心目中的聖山……

在2007年5月20日,一項經中國大陸1500萬網友點選的「發現中國新美景」比賽結果宣布———位在四川省西北邊陲的扎薩格,被評為最具潛力新美景獎。

絕大多數網友都是從網站張貼的照片,被雄奇的扎薩格風光所吸引,但他們找遍地圖和旅遊書,卻不知道扎薩格到底在哪裡……

顛簸60公里 藏民熱情款待

扎薩格位在四川和甘肅省的交界處,行政上屬四川省阿壩州,但地圖上僅有早年行政區鐵布,卻沒有扎薩格地名。扎薩格距離最近有人居住的地方,就是鐵布熱爾鄉的奔巴村。

要去扎薩格不是件容易的事,我們是在奔巴村出生的嚴先生帶領下,才有辦法順利來到此地。一行人從若爾蓋縣城達扎鎮出發,先往北行駛70多公里到紅星(舊稱熱當壩),從此進入長達60多公里的石頭土路,一路就這麼跌跌撞撞,從白天到晚上,終於到達奔巴村。

這是個很小的藏族村子,十幾戶人家分散在一大片山頭,全是木板房,好一點的人家還有間水泥屋,大部分人家都是兩層式木屋,上層住人,下層養牲畜。晚上,我們就借住在嚴先生妹妹家。嚴家為了歡迎我們,殺了藏香豬,準備犛牛奶和酥油茶來款待。

村裡的黨委書記也來唱藏族歌曲助興,他們還端出三敬酒迎賓,所謂「三敬酒」,一敬佛祖、二敬父母、三敬貴客,並用藏刀切下藏香豬肉請我們品嘗。

入山遇虎牛 邂逅轉世靈童

隔天一早,嚴生先在村裡收來幾匹馬和騾子(母馬和公驢交配所生),載著一行人往扎薩格出發。離開奔巴村後,就等於遠離文明,往後什麼事都得靠人類最原始的--勞力。

騾子載著我們開始穿越山谷和森林,牠小小的身體特別適合在窄小的山道穿梭。兩個多小時後,就在我們的屁股已受不了的時候,終於來到扎薩格的入口。一群藏民已先抵達,他們從山谷小瀑布以雙手捧著山澗流下的泉水,在身上擦拭,表示淨身。藏人朝山,有先淨身再入山的習慣,我們當然也是入境隨俗囉!

扎薩格的入口是座很特別的峽谷,岩壁上出現一凸起酷似老虎回頭的石塊,溪畔還有塊像牛的石頭盤踞,當地人稱「虎牛峽」。再往前走,又碰上兩塊上百公尺高的石頭,相互夾出一個小裂隙,稱為「不開門」。

繼續往深山前進,約在海拔3100公尺處,不可思議地,眼前出現一座尼顯寺,雄峙在一片大岩壁下方。寺裡住著37位喇嘛,其中還有位轉世靈童,叫嘎讓敦巴,身材高大,氣宇不凡。依照藏傳佛教說法,… …

A得道的高僧在圓寂後,常會有轉世靈童出現。
神跡處處現 尼顯寺好修行

尼顯寺建立於270至300年前,是西藏最久遠的教派本波教的寺院,整個扎薩格方圓百里就僅有這座寺院。透過寺裡高僧說明,為我們解秘:扎薩格之所以成為聖山,是因為本波教最重要的始祖傳人黎德茂巴,曾經來到扎薩格修行,並且留下許多神跡。

神跡中最特別的地方,就是在海拔3700公尺處,有一個天然半露天洞穴,名「神泉洞」,岩壁上有個小洞,洞中有清泉,可以伸手進去取水,說也奇怪,這口泉水千年來始終不涸,而且也不溢出,取走多少就會再流出多少,水質異常甘洌,滲人心肺。

離神泉洞不遠處,有處露天的洞穴,相傳是黎德茂巴修行的洞穴,裡面有一顆神奇石頭,石頭上自然顯現梵文「阿翁轟」字體,相傳此石已有800多年歷史。

自古以來,扎薩格就吸引許多高僧來山中岩洞修行,這些岩洞有的就在山徑旁,有的則是離地面幾十公尺高,有的岩洞內還留有高僧的聖骨,高僧是用什麼方法爬上去修行,令人嘖嘖稱奇。

活佛牽馬行 得見聖山之心

碰到山路太險陡處,騾子也會鬧脾氣,還得下來牽牠走路,不知是人騎騾,還是騾「欺」人。一路上陪我們進入扎薩格的嘎讓敦巴和奔巴村黨委書記,不忍心見一群城市佬如此受折磨,不得不替我們牽騾,「讓活佛替我們牽馬,可是生平第一回。」一位在馬鞍上被顛得不成人形的朋友說。

扎薩格的岩石非常奇特,除了有大小不一的天然洞穴外,還有獨立的「飛來石」,但最特別的,要算是近似被鑿空的「扎薩格之窗」,獨顯於峽谷的一塊赤峰岩石上。藏族人說,人死後,靈魂必須飛過扎薩格之窗,才能進入天堂。

扎薩格最高的山頭已超過5000公尺,被稱為「扎薩格之心」,狀如金字塔,30公里外就看得到這座山頭,但經常被雲霧盤罩,難見山容;我們很幸運,入山兩天,扎薩格之心山容畢現。嘎讓敦巴說,他在20幾歲時,曾經登頂扎薩格之心,還在山頂上看見菩薩……

【旅遊前哨站】

怎麼去:最容易的走法就是先飛到四川省會成都,再搭省內飛機到九寨溝所在地的九黃機場,從此地拉車到阿壩州的若爾蓋縣,繼續往北走160公里,到公路盡頭的熱爾鄉奔巴村,開始徒步與騎馬(或騾子)進山。從成都出發到此地,足足620多公里,開車至少兩天才會到。

須準備什麼:進扎薩格是很辛苦的,帶雙好的登山鞋和登山杖,會讓你好走路。因為要夜宿奔巴村藏民家,最好自備睡袋,除了跟著藏民吃酥油茶和糌粑外,沿途沒有什麼好期待的美食,最好自備些簡單糧食。

要注意什麼:扎薩格是藏族的神山,地位極崇高,進山要入境隨俗,碰到馬尼堆處就放顆石頭,在起點的瀑布該下馬淨身;記得帶走垃圾,不要取走任何聖跡岩石,以免招惡運。因為長途騎馬,最好把屁股墊厚一點會舒服些,碰到大下坡,記得下來牽馬走路。扎薩格全線最高點,海拔超過3700公尺,要注意高山反應。

【為什麼叫扎薩格】

扎薩格是藏語發音,再音譯成漢字,扎是「石頭」,薩是「鷹」,格是「巨大」,全意就是巨大的石鷹所在地。它是藏族人心目中的聖山。

據說在遠古時代,扎薩格一帶鬼怪出沒,佛祖從西藏派來三隻神鷹降落此地,降伏鬼怪作亂。山上還留有老鷹形狀的石頭。

【關於神山的傳說】

藏傳佛教徒認為全中國有120座神山,其中比較巨大的有24座,包括峨眉山、五台山等,扎薩格也是其中之一,朝山是佛教徒的必修志業,對本波教徒來說,扎薩格更是非來不可。(圖文/吳學銘) [2007-07-01]

專家:中國將成為全球最熱門觀光目的地
By 紀錦玲

"Hu Jintao, President; Business & Tourism" at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti
The following report is posted through the courtesy of the "旅遊" of Yahoo!奇摩新聞:

[[[ A colorful logo about "AFP '法新社'". (WBTI editor's note) ]]]

更新日期:2007/07/02 14:50 記者:紀錦玲
(法新社北京二日電) 專家指出,在二零零八年北京奧林匹克運動會的助力下,加上全球正掀起的一股「中國熱」,中國可望在二零一四年以前,取代法國成為全球最熱門的觀光目的地。

根據「中國國家旅遊局」統計,外國旅客到中國觀光人數,已從一九七八年的三十萬人次,成長到二零零六年的兩千兩百萬人次,其中包括來自香港、澳門與台灣的觀光客等在內。

中國國家旅遊局副局長王誌發在北京一場觀光論壇中指出,「對於來自世界各地觀光客而言,中國目前已經是一個具吸引力的觀光目的地。」

目前前往法國觀光的人數正日益下滑,前往中國觀光的人數則呈兩位數成長,單單過去五年中,到中國旅行人數已經增加一倍。

「世界觀光組織」表示,中國原本預期在二零二零年時,趕上法國成為全球首屈一指的觀光目的地;但以目前發展速度看來,將可望提早六年達成目標。

世界觀光組織亞太地區主管說,就觀光客到訪人數而言,美國目前為全球第三大觀光目的地,中國可望在今年之內取而代之;而在二零一零年以前,中國則可能超越西班牙,成為全球第二大觀光目的地。

吳玲瑤 散播幽默歡笑
演講笑裡藏道受好評 全球邀約不斷 足跡遍及中俄歐美及南非
By 王慶偉

The following report is posted through the courtesy of the "舊金山新聞" of Worldjournal.com:

[[[ A colorful logo about "WJ '世界新聞web'". (WBTI editor's note) ]]]

【本報記者王慶偉聖荷西報導】幽默作家吳玲瑤近一年來又多了件事,如同她幾十年前「無心插柳柳成蔭」成為作家一樣,這回成了到處受歡迎的「幽默演講家」,從美國、中國、俄國、歐洲、南非、澳洲各地都有人競相邀請,「名單行程排滿滿,場場聽眾都爆滿。」

「不知道為什麼我一開口人家就要笑,剛開始的時候我總以為我一定有韭菜夾在牙縫裡,自己不知道,口紅抹出了邊,頭髮亂了,衣服鈕扣扣錯洞,因為生活上的脫線我常有,後來才弄清楚是我講的事情好笑。」

吳玲瑤表示,有時連她自己也沒想到;第一次在大陸演講時大出意料之外,本來以為他們不能接受吳玲瑤的幽默,沒想到大受歡迎,尤其在山東大學的一場三千多人演講,和嚴歌苓、虹影同台,得到最多笑聲掌聲,第二天馬上CCTV第四台來錄影,做了一個兩小時的專訪。吳玲瑤的書在中國大賣,擺在上海書城第一層樓進門最顯眼的專櫃,屬於暢銷書籍類。

最令吳玲瑤感動的是在紐約的一場演講,「文壇非常受到敬重的『鼎公』王鼎鈞先生,在演講完後交給我一張餐巾紙,上面畫了許許多多的『正』字,我不明白是什麼,他解釋說是根據他的統計,在整整我一個人演講兩小時期間,他跟著聽眾大笑65次,會心微笑12次,其他聽眾個別爆出的笑聲83次。」

王鼎鈞對吳玲瑤說了許多鼓勵的話,「他年紀大了身體常常違和,還在那麼熱的天氣中來參加,我真不知道如何表達謝忱與感激,心中永遠感念著他這位仁慈的前輩提攜後進的愛心。」吳玲瑤表示。

吳玲瑤認為多場演講下來,可以有許多紀錄。一是笑聲最多,可以保證「每一分鐘一小笑,三分鐘一大笑」。二是聽講觀眾人數最多。美國各地人住得很散,有人願意開三小時的車來聽。

自認沒有演講技巧,說話還有點快,但演講時會親切的像和朋友聊天一樣。吳玲瑤每場演講準備都花不少時間,以內容取勝,能針對各種題目寫出不同講稿,「也許是內容談到每個人都有的經驗,聽眾有感而笑吧。」

吳玲瑤笑話一個個出籠,「還有隱藏著的意義,令人深思,也常常有人聽不懂,事後要問。每場演講講完後聽眾還不肯走,說還要聽,還有問題要問,」讀者這樣的熱情對吳玲瑤是莫大的鼓勵。

受到這麼多的歡迎,吳玲瑤表示,「也許我的文章能給人信心,讓人覺得有人的境況比他們更糟,而優越感的作祟也足以造成幽默的效果,也是這些年來我一直筆耕不輟,不斷執筆賣笑,希望達到『笑裡藏道』效果的潛在原因。以前寫作文怕人家看,怕人家笑,現在怕人家不看,怕人家不笑。」 [2007-07-02]

造街整治 士林夜市展新風貌
By 蔡依蒨

[[[ A colorful logo about "'時報資訊' InfoTimes". (WBTI editor's note) ]]]

更新日期:2007/07/01 08:35 記者:【蔡依蒨/台北報導】
從今天起,士林夜市將展現新風貌,北市府發展局為了將士林夜市提升至國際觀光夜市的規模,積極推動士林夜市周邊大規模的造街更新計畫,包括更新道路鋪面、整平騎樓,另外也將士林夜市的管線全面地下化,讓士林夜市周邊走起來更平坦,逛起來更舒適。

發展局昨日在士林區大南街及基河路舉辦大型街區嘉年華活動,市長郝龍斌親自主持慶祝造街計畫階段完成儀式,而周末人潮洶湧的士林夜市加上舉辦大型活動的因素,從劍潭捷運站起,人潮將士林夜市擠的寸步難行。

昨日傍晚郝龍斌首先至大南路、大東路、大西路的店家握手致意,感謝店家配合造街計畫;隨後郝龍斌除了至士林商家必拜的慈諴宮上香祈福之外,也特別視察士林夜市的管線地下化工程。

發展局表示,要整頓士林夜市的整體環境,目前規畫整合區域交通運輸系統、提高停車位使用效益、改建士林市場及改善士林夜市及周邊公共環境等計畫。

「士林大南路造街計畫」部分,整治士林夜市及周邊範圍以貫穿士林夜市東西向軸線的大南路為主,包括大南路、大東路及大西路三街廓,全長約650公尺,經費約1仟餘萬元。

整平街道部分,造街路段道路鋪面改以準徒步區形式規畫,並將兩側原本高低不平的騎樓予以整平順暢,並加強夜間照明。

由於士林夜市招牌設置凌亂,而公共架空線路也是同樣情形,因此同時納入需改善範圍。發展局指出,由於士林夜市內多為老舊房屋、且巷道狹窄,進行地下化所需用地取得不易,因此造街計畫一度延宕。

發展局耗時約3年餘與商家及住戶溝通協調,同時請求台電公司、中華電信等單位配合緊急修復作業,在10個月的工期內完成士林夜市管線地下化及造街計畫。

店家招牌方面,市府亦優先補助經費協助街區完成招牌整理與更新,目前已完成400餘面,使士林夜市的街區廣告招牌整齊畫一呈現全新面貌,後續發展局還將持續整合及推動士林夜市造街計畫,讓士林夜市能進一步徹底脫胎換骨。

「水中嬌娃」17歲的袁祺(Bel-lona Yuan),從未惡補SAT,手上同時有耶魯大學(Yale)、達特茅斯大學(Dartmouth)、康乃爾大學(Connell)、布朗大學(Brown)等長春藤名校和洛加大(UCLA)有意網羅她入學,羨煞許多同學。

她說:「因為在游泳方面付出,才有今日的回報。」

袁祺父母來自台灣,看到女兒靠游泳優異表現,幸運的「游進」名校窄門,感覺特別欣慰和幸運。袁爸說,當初要女兒學游泳,絕沒想到會「誤打誤撞」修成正果。

袁祺最拿手是蝶式,今年初締造一百碼57.69秒的個人佳績。她參加無數次南加州奧林匹克游泳賽,並獲得大小優勝獎項,15歲那年,入選加州代表,參加美國西區13州比賽。

華人家長多希望子女進名校,往往補習花大錢也不能保證。袁爸說,女兒的故事可以鼓勵華人家長,搞好體育也能成大器。[2007-07-01]
