「我們應該成為怎樣的人？」「我們應該怎麼活？」這個問題有答案嗎？生命的意義有答案嗎？人類很矛盾，很多老師都說：老師不是聖人，沒有人可以決定別人的人生。但也有老師說：生命本來就有意義，人本來就應該思考。「我們應該成為有思考能力的人。」這件事被說成是「本來」，這是錯誤的，人們無法證明，所以說這是「本來」。本書將證明：「我們應該成為有思考能力的人。」本書將證明：「人類有應該走向的未來。」本書有一個歷史回顧，以前人們害怕思考。本書的內容就是這三個題目：「我們應該成為怎樣的人？生命的意義與教育的目的。」「民主最大的敵人是什麼？生命的意義與威權時代。」「人類應該走向怎樣的未來？生命的意義與文明的方向。」Is there an answer to the question: “What kind of people should we be?” “How should we live ?”Is there an answer to the meaning of life?This is a contradiction, many teachers say: teachers are not saints, no one can decide other people's lives.And some teachers say: Life “originally” has meaning.“We should become human beings with the ability to think.”This thing is said to be “original”, which is wrong, people can't prove it, so it is said to be “original”.This book will prove: “We should become human beings with the ability to think.”This book will prove: “There is a future that humanity should go to.”This book has a historical review, in the past, people were afraid to think.The contents o

In this photo book, more than 220 beautiful wildflower pictures taken from 111 wildflower species are included. The plant species are botanically classified into 36 plant families. Each wildflower species is briefly described about its general structure of flowers, leaves, stems, the blooming time, native place, and the edibility, toxicity or uses in traditional herbal medicine if it has.

四十年前，張彬煜博士已經是美國華盛頓特區著名的百萬富翁。他出身軍旅，有著強大的自制力與意志力，且能文能武，熟讀孫子兵法，巧妙地將這本祖傳經典運用到工作和商業投資中。在美國功利社會下，他保護自己的權利，總是以出人意料的方式獲勝。根據當年華府知名專欄作家吳崇蘭女士的說法：「四個例子體現張彬煜的能力：1. 1970 年代，張彬煜用 10,000 多美元買了 3 英畝的土地；五年後以 665,000 美元的價格賣掉。2. 張彬煜在密歇根大學安娜堡分校讀書時，一年獲得了四項獎學金。獎學金總額超過了一名副教授的年薪。3. 張彬煜畢業後的第一份工作是直接在一家美國公司擔任技術副總裁。4. 無須申請，無須考試，張彬煜當年直接拿到了綠卡；兩年後即宣誓成為美國公民，並免除五年居住要求。」中國知識分子通常有這樣的心態：“萬般皆下品，唯有讀書高”。他們認為談論金錢很俗氣，因此常常難以發揮自身融入以資本主義為主流的美國社會；因此西方漢學家普遍認為，這就是為什麼中國的知識分子從來沒有成為統治階級中掌握政治力量的原因。但張彬煜博士並非如此，透過他的回憶錄，走入時光的隧道，了解當年來自臺灣兩袖清風的軍旅人員，是如何掌握時機，在當年美國經濟蒸蒸日上中，以中國人的“大智若愚”賺得自己的人生，成為美國人心目中的“成功人士”。★Foreword: Dr. Pin Yu Chang★I am dumb.

◇圖書簡介◇《迴響耳邊的1480千赫電波――記我的英語學習之路》一書，是作者依其保存數十年的15本筆記撰寫而成，該書分上下兩編。上編的主題“聽廣播，學英語”，以筆記體形式詳實記錄了上世紀七十年代初中期，以收聽電臺廣播講座方式學習英語的歲月，是一份瞭解研究極具時代特徵英語教材的寶貴資料；下編的主題“通英語，走天涯”，是作者獲益於收聽學習“廣播講座”的英語應用小記，淺載了作者走訪三十多個國家和地區的職場翻譯生涯與外派經歷，更有作者數十年孜孜不倦研習英語的心得。◇序◇欣聞翟崇生老師的大作《迴響耳邊的1480千赫電波――記我的英語學習之路》一書即將出版，十分高興，特致慶賀！與翟崇生老師的相識和交往已有20多年，記得我們首次相見是在新世紀初北京的某次科技翻譯研討會上，後來我們請翟老師為中科院科技翻譯協會的翻譯服務做過工作，就建立起聯繫並逐漸有了深入瞭解。翟老師後來參加了2009年由院譯協在北京力學所承辦的第13屆全國科技翻譯研討會，並在開幕式上做了主旨演講。40餘年前中國開始的改革開放，催生了中國歷史上的第三次翻譯高潮，自然也推動了遍佈大江南北的英語教學熱潮，而這次學習熱潮的起點，我認為可以將計量的錨點定在1972年北京人民廣播電臺開播的英語教學節目。雖然當時文革尚未結束，但此舉卻順應了一部分熱愛英語學習的年輕學子的要求。――他們對知識的作用絕對有著清醒的認知：“求知是所有人的本性”（All men by nature desire knowledge. ―Aristotele. Metaphysics, bk. I, ch.1） 廣播講座採用1480千赫播放，據說是由周恩來總理批准實施的第一次面向國內大眾的英語教學節目。首次播講始於1972年10月初，止於1974年1月末。此期的廣播講座，翟老師以收聽為主，未逐講做學習筆記。隨後再次播出的講座授課，自1974年2月11日開播至1977年8月26日播畢，總計542講，分初級班（含上中下3冊教材）、中級班（分1-4冊）兩階段，總計歷時三年六個多月。再次播出的講座，翟老師不僅自始至終跟著學了下來，而且堅持每天每一講認真學習記錄，從無疏漏，每日多次跟隨老師聽讀、不厭其煩地練習發音，這種不達目的不甘休的精神，則是一般人極其難以做到的，令人十分欽佩。也因此，我們今天才能有機會讀到這本難得的書。說難得，是因為它不是一般英語學者或大學教授有
本書是美籍台人知名國際生技醫學家陳振炎博士的英文自傳。這位來自台中的台灣囡仔，出生於1940 年代日據時代，幼年四歲喪母，爾後經歷病痛、貧困、戰爭，看遍人生百態，在窮困中的年代卻積極奮鬥；在東海大學結識了相知一生的靈魂伴侶──後來成為陳夫人的陳阮明珠（Pearl Chen），兩人秉持著對生物醫學的喜愛，開啟了一生亦師亦友的人生樂章。陳振炎博士台大醫學院畢業後，取得美國北卡羅來納大學教堂山分校（UNC）醫學院深造的機會，夫妻倆在美國生醫界取得許多重要的生物醫學專利，兩人在世界一流的醫學研究機構──美國國立衛生研究院 （NIH）──與頂尖的醫生和研究人員一起工作，以改善人類健康，創造福祉為己任。“Game Changer”一詞來自一個科學實驗。如果一項實驗不起作用，則重新設計實驗並再次進行，直到實驗有效。實驗中的變化可以說是“改變遊戲規則”。就像中國的老諺語：“天助自助者也！”""Life for a young Taiwanese boy growing up in a Japanese-controlled country in the 1940s was not easy. He was certainly not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. At a vulnerable age of only four, he would lose his mother to a skin infection that in today’s world would have been easily treated with a trip to the doctor’s office. War, poverty, and the daily struggle to survive would set the stage for a real life Cinderella story complete with a harsh stepmother, a fairy godmother, and a beautiful princess who would transform his world.This is the awe-inspiring life story of Dr. Michael Cheng-Yien Chen
