Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States, and he has become a human rights icon: King is recognized as a martyr by two Christian churches.^[1] A Baptist minister, King became a civil rights activist early in his career.^[2] He led the 1955Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history.

In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregationand racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and opposing the Vietnam War, both from a religious perspective. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded thePresidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. national holiday in 1986.

作者简介   · · · · · · 

　　1932年，当《光荣与梦想》实录的历史掀开第一页的时候，威廉・曼彻斯特年仅十岁，但他已是报纸的贪婪的读者。作为一个马萨诸塞州工人的儿子，他切身体会到了经济大萧条的痛苦。1936年，富兰克林・罗斯福再次当选为美国总统。这年，他14岁，成为马萨诸塞州斯普林弗尔德民主党总部的一位志愿者。珍珠港事件后，他在海军陆战队服役，曾在日本冲绳岛身负重伤。伤势痊愈后，他考取了大学。 
　　在上学期间，他写了一本文学评论书。他的第一本书写于27岁，书名为《和平的打扰者》，是为门前所作的传记。该书立刻在评论界获得了成功。20世纪40年代以来，他是《巴尔的摩太阳报》独占鳌头的记者和作家。 
　　曼彻斯特的书被翻译成17种文字和盲文。其中，最畅销的两本著作是《克鲁伯的军火》和《总统之死》。《光荣与梦想》是他的第十部著作。 
　　 
　　《光荣与梦想――1932-1972年美国实录》一书是作者的最新著作，初版发行于1973年，很快就再版，畅销一时。 
　　本书从1932年富兰克林・罗斯福总统上台前后一直写到1972年的水门事件，勾画了整整40年间的美国历史，内容十分丰富。举凡这一时期美国政治、经济、文化和社会生活等方面的巨大变化，历届政府中统治集团的内讧和两党的勾心斗角，经济危机引起的严重社会动乱，以及工人、农场主、退伍军人和黑人的群众斗争，等等，都写得绘形绘色。对近四十年来美国人的精神风貌、社会时尚、各阶层的生活，一直到流行的衣饰发型、音乐电影、美语中的时髦词汇等，都有广泛的评述。书中还插入“美国人物画像”若干篇，是对当代美国某些方面有代表性的人物的剪影。本书充分运用新闻报导的特写手法，根据大量的美国报刊资料和采访材料写成，对了解美国当代政治、经济、社会等各方面的内幕情况，提供了比较丰富的资料，有参考价值。 
　　全书分为五部分。第一部：《应运而起》，从1932年在经济大危机最严重的时刻罗斯福总统上台前后写起，包括整个“新政”时期，一直写到1941年太平洋战争爆发。第H部：《牺牲与变化》，从1941年“珍珠港事件”一直写到1950年朝鲜战争爆发，这是美国登上资本主义世界霸主宝座的十年。第三部：《种下恶根》，从I951年到1960年艾森豪威尔总统任期结束的十年时间，这时美国处在新的繁荣之下。第四部：《必得恶果》，包括肯尼迪和约翰逊两届总统的在任期，这是越南战争和国内人民运动高涨和社会动乱激化的年代。第五部：《尼克松终于上台》，从1969年尼克松当选总统写到水门事件。作者是从资产阶级自由派的观点来观察近四十年的美国历史的。这五部分的划分，可以看做是作者对近四十年美国历史的发展和变化的一个粗略的分期。这基本上反映了美国爬出30年代初经济大危机的“沟底”以来，如何通过第二次世界大战登上资本主义世界的霸权宝座，然后又经过朝鲜战争、越南战争等一系列重大变故而急剧衰落的历史过程。书中通过大量事实暴露了美国经济、政治、军事的矛盾和弱点及其内外交困、走投无路的窘境，以及美国社会的离心离德、精神空虚和浮游无根的丑恶面貌。但作者不可能彻底揭露美国的本质，特别是战后初期美国称霸世界的野心和反动政策，甚至公然把中国人民解放战争的胜利攻击成“亚洲的灾难”，为美国发动侵朝战争辩护。对美国的经济危机，一再用所谓消费不足的资产阶级观点来进行解释。对美国垄断财团在国家政治和经济生活中的作用，也是讲得含混不清，没有触及问题的实质。最后，作者流露出对美国的盛世荣光的怀念和对梦想消失的无限感慨，并为看不到美国今后的出路何在而感到仿惶。在全书结尾处写道：“在干预了国外冲突1/3世纪之后，美国人民再次转而内向，他们要在与世隔绝中寻求安慰，在孤立中寻求复兴。”这些话半是“无可奈何花落去”的哀歌，半是开历史倒车的反动幻想。实际上今天仍然是苏美两霸在争夺世界霸权，美帝也极想重圆逝去的春梦。 
　　本书采用史话体裁，结构不谨严，不少地方有过于冗杂和过分渲染低级趣味之处，也都值得引起读者注意。
　　原书所附的材料出处、参考书目过于琐细，均删去。原文中个别黄色下流之处，也略有删节。书后索引也略删减一些，索引中的页码为原书页码(印在本书切口一边)。 
　　本书从《序幕》至第21章由广州外国语学院美英问题研究室翻译，从第22章起至全书结束由本社翻译组翻译。

　　中科院国家天文台专家透露，这次的日全食奇观，300年一遇，它几乎覆盖整个长江流域，北京、重庆等多个城市，都能全部或部分看到这一奇观，其中有的地区观测的时间，最长为5分09秒。

　　据推算，7月22日上午9时16分，重庆等城市天空，会突然黑下来，太阳会被月亮完全“吃掉”，看上去就犹如一个挂在天上的“黑饼”，周围围绕着一圈耀眼的光芒……

　　天文台专家说，这样的日全食再现，一般要等待300年左右，下次的日全食，必须再等上两三百年。

这里有 Jay Leno 的 The Tonight Show 09.3.17 单口独白 的部分视频：

 原文：http://www.yeeyan.com/articles/view/62287/33970

IN ONE of his short stories, “The Quantity Theory of Insanity”, Will Self suggests that there is a fixed amount of craziness in the world. If one person becomes a bit saner, another will become that bit madder; if one group starts to act normally, another will start freaking out.  

威尔•塞尔夫在他的短篇小说《疯狂数量理论》（”The Quantity Theory of Insanity”）中提出–在这个世界上，疯狂的总量是既定的。如果一个人变得清醒一些，就会有另一人失去等量的理智；一个群体开始行事正常，另一群体的行为就会趋于怪异。

Mr Self’s theory can be applied to all sorts of mental affliction. Children like to think they are less bigoted than their parents, for example. In fact, they are simply bigoted about different things: fatties, smokers and people who drive Humvees, rather than blacks or homosexuals.

赛尔夫先生的这一理论适用于各种精神折磨，比如，一般孩子们会认为自己的父母比自己固执，但事实上只是他们各自固执的对象不同罢了–停留在胖子、烟民、悍马（Humvee）”骑士”层面，而没涉及到黑人或同性恋。

But the most dramatic example of the quantity theory at the moment is anger. Many people hoped that Barack Obama would usher in an era of good feeling after the foam-flecked Bush years. He talked endlessly about bipartisanship and national unity. He was also a living symbol of racial reconciliation. America greeted his inauguration with a frenzy of flag-waving and well-wishing. But anger is back in a big way, redistributed but also revitalised. John McCain is angry about earmarks in the budget. (”If it seems like I’m angry, it’s because I am.”) Ben Bernanke is angry about bailing out AIG. (”If there is a single episode in this entire 18 months that has made
me more angry, I can’t think of one.”) And everybody is angry about the state of the economy.

但眼下最生动的例子要数愤怒了。怨声载道的布什任期之后，很多人希望巴拉克•奥巴马（Barack Obama）能够开创民众对政府充满好感的新时代。他一直呼吁两党合作以及全美团结，而他自身也是种族融合活生生的象征，美国以一片狂热的爱国主义和美好 愿景迎接他的就职。但愤怒也随之袭来–愤怒在重新分配之后再次燃起。约翰•麦凯恩（John McCain）对预算中一些专项拨款[3]怒气冲冲。（”我看上去有些气愤？那是因为我真的气愤。”）本•伯南克（Ben Bernanke）也对政府救助AIG（美国国际集团，American International Group）大发雷霆。（”我真想不出来整整18个月以来还有哪件事比这件事更令我愤怒。”）每个人都因经济状况而愤怒。

The most popular targets of public anger are the greedheads and incompetents who plunged the country into economic meltdown. Hardly a day passes without a new culprit to throw stones at: CEOs who fly to Washington in private jets to beg for a handout, financial titans who were paid hundreds of millions to ruin their banks. And the anger has become politicised. This year’s meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on February 26th-28th attracted some 9,000 activists, the most ever. Taxpayer tea parties (a celebration of the Boston event back in 1773) have sprung up across the country, drawing anything from a few hundred protesters in New York to 2,000 in Greenville, South Carolina. RedState, a conservative blog, is calling on conservatives to “save the country by helping Obama to fail”.

而公众愤怒的焦点则指向那些致使国家经济陷入崩溃的贪婪者和无能者。过去的每天几乎都会产生一位新罪人，成为众矢之的–乘坐私人飞机前往华盛顿乞求 救济的CEO们，领取亿元高薪却毁掉银行的金融界巨人们。愤怒渐趋政治化，今年的保守派政治行动会议（Conservative Political Action Conference，CPAC）于2月26号至28号举行，吸引了约9000名活跃分子前来参加，人数之多为史上之最。纳税人茶会（纪念1773年的波 士顿倾茶事件 ）[1]在全国范围内如雨后春笋般出现，从纽约的数百名抗议者到南卡罗来纳州格林维尔的2000名市民，茶会活动获得了强烈反响。保守派博客 –RedState正在号召保守派人士”以加速奥巴马的失败来挽救国家”。

The biggest cause of anger is Mr Obama’s willingness to bail out everyone with a tin cup, from bankrupt bankers to incompetent carmakers to over-their-ears mortgage-holders. People who have borrowed prudently and lived within their means are livid that they are being asked to bail out neighbours who splurged on McMansions and giant televisions. Rick Santelli, a previously obscure TV journalist, became a folk hero when he complained that Americans were being made to “subsidise the losers’ mortgages”.

奥巴马希望从破产的银行家、无能的汽车制造商到束手无策的抵押权人，人人都能分得政府救助的一杯羹，这是愤怒的最大诱因。有的人平时借债谨慎、量入 为出，他们的邻居却一贯大手大脚，掷重金购置麦克豪宅[2]和超大屏幕电视机，现在却要求他们救助这些邻居，自然怒从心头起。从前名不见经传的电视节目主 持人里克•桑塔利（Rick Santelli）因为指责美国正在”帮助那些败类偿还抵押贷款”而声名大噪，成为民间英雄。

There is also mounting fury, among centrists as well as conservatives, about Mr Obama’s budget, with its mixture of tax hikes for the wealthy and ambitious plans for regulating greenhouse gases and extending the government’s role in health care. Larry Kudlow, a television journalist who is contemplating challenging Chris Dodd for his Connecticut Senate seat, says that Mr Obama is “declaring war on investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations and private equity and venture-capital funds”. Many former supporters worry that Mr Obama is treating the economic crisis rather as George Bush treated September 11th-as a convenient excuse for pursuing a long-held ideological agenda.

在中间派之中，也和保守派一样，奥巴马先生的预算案以及预算案所融合的针对富人的大幅增税计划，管制温室气体的雄心大计，以及拟加强政府在公共医疗 保健领域的职能所引起的愤怒也逐渐升级。正打算取代柯瑞斯•多德（Chris Dodd）成为康乃狄克州参议员的拉里•库德洛（Larry Kudlow）说，奥巴马先生”正在向投资者、企业家、小公司、大企业、私募股权、风投基金宣战。”很多从前的支持者担心奥巴马先生对待金融危机将一如乔 治•布什（George Bush）对待911事件–它们只不过是合时宜的借口，可以用来推进长期的意识形态日程。

Anger seethes about the fact that so many big-government Democrats mysteriously lose their appetite for taxes when it comes to paying them themselves. This week saw the revelation that yet another of Mr Obama’s nominees, Ron Kirk, the would-be trade representative, underpaid his taxes in 2005-07. But above all, people are angry that Mr Obama led them down the garden path. Bipartisanship? He is proposing one of the most liberal budgets in decades. Abolishing earmarks ? The budget contains 8,570 of them. Honesty? The finance, property and insurance industries (all getting huge bail-outs) were the largest source of campaign contributions to Mr Obama after lawyers. Transcending racism? Eric Holder, the attorney-general, has accused Americans of being cowards when it comes to discussing race.

很多主张”大政府”（big-government）的民主党人以往对税收津津乐道，但等”纳税”落到自己头上时，这种兴趣却神秘地消失了，民众自 然是怒火中烧。Ron Kirk（罗南•科克），这位被奥巴马先生提名的准贸易代表本周被揭露曾于2005至07年间并未缴纳足额税款。但是人们最为愤怒的则是奥巴马先生将他们 带入歧途。两党合作？他提出了几十年来最具自由主义色彩的预算案。取消专项拨款？预算案中包含8570项专项拨款。正直？在律师之后，金融业、房地产业、 保险业（无一未得到巨额救助）是奥巴马竞选资金的最主要来源。逾越种族偏见？司法部长埃里克•霍尔德（Eric Holder）曾谴责了美国人在讨论种族问题时所表现出的懦弱。

Backlash time 愤怒时代

All this poses dangers for Mr Obama. The tea-party protesters who hold up signs that read “Obama…commander and thief” are clearly preaching to the converted. But those who hold up signs saying “Screw up, move up” or “Honk if you’re paying my mortgage” may strike a chord with the wider public. Almost 60% of Americans tell pollsters that they are opposed to giving money to carmakers and banks that are in danger of collapsing. One of the lessons from both the Carter years and the first Clinton term is that new Democratic administrations are vulnerable to a populist backlash from the establishment-bashing,hypocrisy-smashing,small-business-defending right.

这些对奥巴马先生来说都是危险的信号。茶会抗议者们举着带有”奥巴马……总统和窃贼”（”Obama…commander and thief”[4] ）字眼的抗议牌，他们对背叛者提出了明确的告诫。但是举着”干得糟，升得快”（”Screw up, move up” ）或”帮我还贷款的人请鸣笛”（”Honk if you’re paying my mortgage”）的抗议者则会激起更多人的共鸣。民意测验显示有六成美国人反对资助濒临破产的汽车制造商和银行。卡特任期和克林顿的第一个任期的共同 教训之一就是新的民主党政府易受到来自右派极具民粹主义色彩的强烈抗议，他们一贯都抨击政府（establishment-bashing）、粉碎伪善 （hypocrisy-smashing）、维护小企业（small-business-defending）。

But this growing anger poses dangers for the right as well. The Republican Party runs the risk of being captured by its most extreme figures. Rush Limbaugh, a talk-show man who billed his talk to CPAC as an “address to the nation”, is now widely regarded as the chief spokesman for the Republican Party, much to the Democrats’ delight. The party also risks being branded as a “party of no” at a time when most Americans favour government activism. And Mr Obama still has an approval rating of over 60%: no longer exceptional, but still pretty good.

但是愈演愈烈的愤怒对右派来说也不是祥兆。共和党面临着落入党内一些极端人物之手的危险。脱口秀主持人拉西•林伯（Rush Limbaugh）曾标榜他在保守派政治行动会议（Conservative Political Action Conference，CPAC）上的讲话是”对国家的致辞”，现在被广泛认为是共和党的头号发言人，深得民主党欢心。在大多数美国人都支持政府积极主义 （”government activism”[5]） 的形势下，共和党还可能被扣上”不许党”（”party of no”[6] ）的帽子。奥巴马先生的支持率仍在60%以上–不再是超凡的比例，但仍然维持在一个相当高的水平。

Mr Obama’s most important weapon during the election campaign was his ability to turn anti-Bush anger into pro-American hope. That now seems a world away. The politics of the next few years will be shaped by managing anger rather than transcending it. Mr Obama needs to direct the rising tide of anger at rich Republicans. The Republicans need to direct it at Mr Obama’s new establishment. Either way, hope loses.

奥巴马先生有能力将反布什的愤怒情绪转化为支持美国的信心，这是他在大选期间的杀手锏。但这种能力似乎已成往事。接下来数年的政治进程将取决于如何 管理愤怒，而不是去升华愤怒。奥巴马先生需要把人们不断高涨的怒火导向富有的共和党人，而后者则要把它导向奥巴马先生的新领导班子。如此这样，双方的希望 都将不再。

A bighorn sheep is seen at the Wildlife Research and Conservation Centre in Toluca, Mexico. From the live snakes that smugglers stuff with packets of cocaine to the white tigers drug lords keep as exotic pets, rare animals are being increasingly sucked into Mexico's deadly narcotics trade. Following the lead of their Colombian counterparts, Mexico's flashy drug lords like to show off rarities like sea turtle skin boots and build ostentatious private zoos

The Achaea catocaloides caterpillar is seen in this undated handout picture released this week. Liberia's agriculture minister said that caterpillars infesting villages, destroying crops and threatening food security of an estimated 350,000 people were of the Achaea catocaloides species. The species thrives in forest environments and eats all vegetation, including cocoa trees, which could be a threat to plantations in West Africa if the conditions remain conducive for reproduction

A heron flies over Dojran Lake, 106 miles south of the Macedonian capital Skopje. The lake survived an ecological disaster after a drought and excessive use of its water, which caused levels to fall nearly 10 metres (33ft). Two rivers were re-directed to the lake and have restored the life to the lake

A killer snake that was longer than a bus, as heavy as a small car and which could swallow an animal the size of a cow, has been discovered by scientists.

The 45ft long monster - named Titanoboa - was so big that it lived on a diet of crocodiles and giant turtles, squeezing them to death and devouring them whole.

Weighing an impressive 1.25 tons, it slithered around the tropical forests of South America 60million years ago, just five million years after the last dinosaurs were wiped out.

Partial skeletons of the boa constrictor-like prehistoric killer were found in a Colombian coal mine by an international team of fossil hunters. 

They estimate that it was larger than the fictional snake featured in the Jennifer Lopez horror movie Anaconda.

Dr Jonathan Bloch of the University of Florida, one of the researchers who announced the find, said: 'Truly enormous snakes really spark people's imagination, but reality has exceeded the fantasies of Hollywood.

'The snake that tried to eat Jennifer Lopez in the movie Anaconda was not as big as the one we found.'

The fossilised remains were found in an open cast mine in Cerrejon, Colombia with turtles and crocodiles.

The creature lived during the Palaeocene epoch - the 10million-year period that followed the destruction of the dinosaurs by a giant asteroid or comet, and helps fill a missing gap in evolution, the scientists report today in the journal Nature.

Before the discovery, there had been no fossil vertebrates - or animals with back bones - between 65million and 55million years ago in tropical South America.

Dr Jason Head, of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, in Washington DC, said: 'Now we have a window into the time just after the dinosaurs went extinct and can actually see what the animals replacing them looked like.'

He added: 'This colossal, boa constrictor-like creature stretched longer than a city bus and weighed more than a car. It's the biggest snake the world has ever known.

'The snake's body was so wide that if it were moving down the hall and decided to come into my office to eat me, it would literally have to squeeze through the door.'

The size of the snake showed  that conditions were around 10C hotter than today - around 30 to 34C on average.

Snakes and other cold-blooded animals are limited in body size by the temperature where they live.The largest reptiles and bugs live in the world's hottest places close to the equator.

Hunting for fossils is tricky in the forest-covered tropics because so little rock is exposed. However, the open cast mining exposed huge swaths of rock, including the remains of the prehistoric snake.

Dr Bloch said: 'It was a rain-forest like today, but it was even hotter and the cold-blooded reptiles were all substantially larger. The result was, among other things, the largest snakes the world has ever seen - and hopefully ever will.'

Off the scale: World's biggest snake bones

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest snake ever measured was 33ft in length. The heaviest - a python - weighed 403lb.

British scientist Dr David Polly who was involved in identifying the snake at Queen Mary, University of London, said: 'At its greatest width, the snake would have come up to about your hips. The size is pretty amazing.'

Last year, scientists revealed the smallest snake in the world - a four-inch long creature living in Barbados that is as thin as a strand of spaghetti and so tiny it could fit on a 10p coin.
