Not Perfect English is Fine, So does Correction http://blog.donews.com/speaking/archive/2005/09/21/560832.aspx Chinese bloggers using English.... |

Removed my Email from Blog I am a teacher of English and I have seen many students make mistakes and I don't think it is a good idea to say something like that. If you want to read perfect English, go somewhere else. English is just a language, that is all. Yeah people in China don't use your pet words or phrases, but we manage to communicate our ideas to a large audience. Jianshuo, don't be discouraged by what this person said. If people who come here know the purpose of Jianshuo's blogging, they shouldn't say something rude like that. |

Baidu Post If you say Supergirl contest is a commercialized, well-organized, chinese version of American Idol, I agree. I don't think this has anything to do with DEMOCRACY. I would say it is pure entertainment with absolutely Chinese characteristics. |

Super Girl is Super Hot This article was written by a woman (or man?) and I don't know what is wrong with her mind. But she really didn't know what she was talking about. 摘自博客BBS－ 林晓语 我看超女三甲之争，我看张靓影 昨晚坐在电视机前认认真真看了一场超级女声，同时一边关注着网上对于超女的评论。节目结束之后，铺天盖地的辱骂，通过网络这个媒体介质，一一传输着。其中最为关注的是何洁与张靓影之间的关系问题，以及张靓影在赛后对李湘到底说了什么。 周笔畅――我最喜欢的一个。尽管她的唱功尚待提升，但是她最大的优势在于，她能讲大家耳熟目然的歌曲，以其自有的唱腔，转换成她个人的风格，给人耳目一新的感觉，并且善于用个人的演绎弥补声线上的不足。即便像网络评价的“走音”，也并不能成为攻击她的理由。走音能走出自己的味道，这不是一般人能够到达的境界。如果不是自小就生活在音乐的熏陶中，很难造就周笔畅今日对于音乐的理解和自由发挥。 纪敏佳――我最疼惜的一个。她是真正用心在歌唱，同样的出身贫寒，却得不到同样的怜惜，不禁感叹媒体的炒作之高深。说她代表着草根阶层的音乐，我不敢苟同。纪敏佳的大气、沉稳、不服输的精神，才是真正精英阶层应有的风采。只因为外型的刚硬，唱腔的浑实，内心的坚强而不讨巧，这也是必须正视的一个问题，但是纪敏佳的实力绝对是五人之中最好的一个。如果敏佳去参加由央视主办的青年歌手大奖赛，我敢断言，春晚的舞台，绝对有她的份。 李宇春――我最钟情的一个。她代表着当前音乐的潮流，与生聚来的舞台感染力，自她站在台上的那一刻，就开始散发，这也是她在舞台表现上优于何洁的地方。我称她的声音为超重低音，低沉略带沙哑，尽管唱功一般，但是流露的是真性情，再配合乐队伴奏，无疑是最好的视觉和听觉的双重享受。至于她中性的扮相，这在大街小巷，比比皆是，深受年轻人的喜爱。而包括我在内的大多数人，也希望自己能够打扮的这么自然和干脆，然而出于各方面的原因，无法达到，自然就将这个期待放在了宇春的身上。 何洁――初初不太喜欢她的表现，昨天翻看了她过去的表演，不禁喜欢上了这个小精灵。何洁的舞台表现力是一流的，尽管她每一场都蹦跳着，但是她魅力四射，妩媚多姿，咪咪的小眼睛有着和COCO一样的亲和力。昨晚何洁明显有些失控，但是她是真实的。请大家客观去想一想，在那样的环境和情况之下，任何一个被PK下去，说内心没有想法，那绝对是骗人的。只不过她还只是个19岁未经世事的学生，不善于将自己内心的酸楚强加压抑，只能强颜欢笑，用笑声来掩饰自己对于这个舞台的留恋和不舍以及内心的脆弱。 张靓影――最有争议性的一个，尽管有人在说她代表了中国精英阶层的音乐。什么是中国的精英阶层，这个概念如何定义？ 不可否认，张靓影在演绎英文曲目方面有一定的优势，我也翻看了张靓影过去几场的表现，她的选曲基本上都是60—70年代生人所熟悉的英文曲目。而目前社会上出于白领和金领阶层的，绝大多数是60—70年代生人，这刚好迎合了这部分所谓的精英阶层在英文歌曲方面的喜好。其实我想问问精英阶层，当张靓影出了英文CD的时候，让你们去选择，你是会买玛利亚凯丽、惠特尼休斯顿、席琳的翁的CD，还是会买张靓影的CD（请大家认真并且理智的想一想）？然而更多的60—70年代生的人，已经很少进CD店选购CD了，他们更本就没有更多的时间坐在家里静静欣赏音乐。 而网络上更多的是将其较为沧桑的出身作为卖点，吸引人的同情和怜惜，同时，60—70年代生的精英阶层也大部分出身农家，通过自己不懈的努力和奋斗，有了今日的成就，这也不免引起了所谓的精英阶层的共鸣。然而一个人的出身，并不能代表什么，即便张靓影在酒吧驻唱了6年，也不能说她是不纯洁的。个人认为最不可取的是很多人将张靓影的出身和自己对于音乐的鉴赏强行加以糅合，将更多的感情放在了同情和怜惜上面，而失去了音乐之于大众最本质的东西。 张靓影说过，她只给喜欢听她歌的人唱歌，这无形之中在暗示着她的孤傲。然而独乐乐，不等于众乐乐，少数人的喜好，也不能完全代表所有人的喜好。 我一直都很不喜欢张靓影唱英文歌曲，受到众人的攻击之后，我又仔细听了听她的中文歌。在中文歌方面，她多数选择中慢速歌曲，以高音见长，但是演绎之中没有特色，不如她自己认为最拿手的英文歌曲。昨晚的节目中，她在演唱中文歌曲时，明显出现了一个慢拍（我是外行，但是国人对于那首中文歌实在是太熟悉了），当黑楠说张靓影出现了一个技术上的失误时，我一点都不意外。（请粉丝们理智一点） 至于她和何洁、宇春之间到底发生了什么，她最后对李湘说了什么，不应该是我们之于超级女声应该关注的。网络上一直在批判何洁昨晚的表现有失风度，其实靓影昨晚又何尝不是？她在赛事后半程一直郁郁寡欢，在结束时捂住自己的耳朵，接着又对李湘说了一句话，难道这不也是她有失风度的地方吗？只不过她们两个用了两种不同的方式来释放自己的压力和情绪，都是很正常的事情。 评委－－黑楠是专业的，何炅是善良的，夏青是坦诚的。网络上对于夏青和黑楠，以及柯以敏的攻击，实为无稽之谈。不管出于什么原因，有没有黑幕，节目组安排他们做评委，肯定是有一定考虑的。黑楠和柯以敏虽然不那么红的发紫，但是他们代表了国内音乐制作方面的综合流行度，从专业的角度考虑，来做超级女声的评委是有合理之处的。从夏青的年龄和阅历来讲，她做评委，代表了大众对于娱乐的诉求。何炅虽然是后来换上去的，但是以他的知名度和多年主持国内少儿及娱乐节目的经验（如果没有记错，何炅是我小时候看大风车时的大姆哥），来作为评委，也没有不妥之处。只不过在一些媒体的误导和观众的偏执中，柯以敏做了牺牲品。 我之所以，在退出博客超女的论坛之后，再度发贴，是不想再有人拿林晓语之前的言论借题发挥，拿林晓语继续说事。每个人都有言论自由，即便言词过激，也不能成为所谓的粉丝们拿来攻击的理由。至于无理取闹，恶意攻击和辱骂的，根本就不能称之为博客，只能算做路人。出口成“脏”的人，更加是在昭示自己内心的丑恶和懦弱。 林晓语喜欢写博客，喜欢昭示自己的坦诚和直率，喜欢坚持自己的原则，敢于承认自己的优势，敢于承担自己的责任。我这样说，不是想解释什么，只是想让大家看到一个真实的博客林晓语。张靓影比我小不了几岁，但是我离开校园的时间要比她久，我能体会她作为一个有梦想女孩的执着和憧憬，也能理解凉粉们对于自己喜欢的超女的态度，但是这是个平和的社会，有正必有反，有喜欢也必有不喜欢。对于张靓影而言，以后的路，是要选择如何更好的去面对。她的出身不是她能选择的，而这也多少给她的的性格带来了一定的影响。在中国，需要同情和怜惜的人太多了，只不过张靓影被曝光了，她的冷给了人们一种怜香惜玉的冲动，也正符合了国人自古以来的习惯。 林晓语不是一个冷漠的人，只不过太过理性，思想太过独立，能够通过一件事情去折射背后更多的东西。人在不同的时候会说不同的话，思考不同的东西，不仅仅是我，也包括你们在内。只不过如何去思考，就成了人与人之间的分界线！ |

Negative Comments for this Blog I keep an English blog too. And I did it for my summer school students. And then I thought: I can turn it into my "own" blog too. And there are people who will come to my site and leave really unfriendly comments. You know, sometimes you got to accept these with grace. There is always people who are critical about everything. |

More Lugu Lake Pictures I like your my city, my bus stop project. Can I suggest that you take some pictures of those bus stops (with every stop clearly defined on the sign board)? I know it takes more time and all but it makes things a lot easier. Maps help a lot but sometimes we simply want to know where we should stop and change a bus. |

More Lugu Lake Pictures Good, I asked someone else to write about something on my blog once. And I know it is somewhat inconvenient for him. But you don't know everything about everything, right? Welcome to my blog and leave your comments. http://www.donews.net/speaking |
