遊泳，人少，救生員比水裏的人貌似還多一些。救生員大多是些college或high school的帥哥美女，本來很養眼的。不巧，一位鄰居也帶著孩子來，不知不覺兩個大男人就半果體聊上了。一般來說，咱跟西方人聊，除了天氣，運動，名勝古跡，孩子，就沒神馬好聊的了，一般更不會涉及政治上那些比較敏感的事。當時可能大家都犯神經了，那鄰居恰好前些日子去了中國，他是一個不大不小的VP，管了幾百個人吧，主要是做business方麵的，人40多，很nice很正的。據說，他在中國的時候，有一次那個旅遊車關門後，導遊就對他們說起64的事，還說隻能在車上說，否則會被抓去坐牢。後來還有中國的一些businessman也對他們提起64的事。於是，他就問我，你怎麽看？說實話，這麽多年沒有人問過這個問題，也從沒想過如何回答這個問題，一時措手不及。望著他那“求知"的眼神，我隻好隨著心意說，“First of all, that's tragedy, and I don't think anyone especially the Chinese people wanted it to happen. However, at that historical moment, I don't know if there could be a better way to handle that situation. I think both sides probably over-extended themselves and went beyond the boundary. We should learn how to negotiate and compromise, and I believe everyone have learned something from it." 隨後他問及為什麽導遊，那個businessman這些普通人為什麽還抓住一切機會向他這種西方人申述。都是很難回答的問題。。。我說”First， don't make me wrong, I wish every Chinese people could have an American style life today, but it is just a good wish, not realistic. That can only be achieved by the hard work of their own, not by given, and that will take a long time. That's a sad fact and we have to face it. If we look back into the history, China has changed a lot and achieved a lot. Of course, there is still big gap between America and China, but that gap is shrinking quickly. As to people's opinions, there are more than 1.3 billions people in China, everyone has his/her own view and should be welcomed as long as it does not cross the line. However, what I want to emphasize is that, don't always hold a hostile attitude to any person or political entity while ignoring his greater good that he has done just because ones' personal belief/tragedy. I am not in the position to comment on what's Chinese people's consensus on this particular issue, but my personal feeling tells me that most of the Chinese people know that the whole country is in the right direction while continuous correction is needed. " blah-blah。。。

然後又談及釣魚島等等。。。後來，他太太過來，”What interesting things are you guys chatting about?...", 我們說，互相學習曆史，她太太說，“yeh， every man has a boy inside...".

犯神經了, 果體談曆史。
