接下來香港的傘花革命讓人激動8、9天.....換句話說，我的翻譯工作停8天。
這段期間，吳董事長每天都會轉來一些讀務。謝謝。
昨天好不容易重溫舊夢，今午當然不敢去4599參加羅文森學長的演講：台灣與大陸的經濟發展。

有一天接到2封掛號：清華大學出版社的發票；yy捐款東海建築的證明---她最近忙著讓建築師吳增榮有展覽的機會，據說有好消息。(我們有機會讀吳建築師多年前在台大校園咖啡店寫下許多感想，真是一樂。)

我有同學顧問博士常住美國。每年花3個月在北京的北大和清華兼課3個月；返台約2次、4天：這次台北紫藤廬的聚會才知道他是從台中趕來(嫂夫人在台中置產)。我們5人談了近3個小時，現在回想起來什麼中、台、美、日等國家之放言，都可付之一笑。同學(1971-75)畢竟是同學。......

要謝謝慧玲國際特赦小組的聚餐邀約。
今晚在紫?盧之聚餐。
大家都還是年輕沒有大變化。
珍惜每一時刻的相聚時光。
也祝顧問北京行。

4599 羅文森博士 十月七日 專題演講 台灣與大陸的經濟發展
台灣與大陸的經濟發展，這是非常大的題目啊！但是在羅文森博士的妙語如珠的演講，兩個小時既充實又風趣，一下子就讓我們完全心神領會,甚至得到各人長久未曾思考過的歷史洞見:關於故鄉台灣，關於中國大陸對台灣的巨大影響。
從兩岸分治開始，羅博士將彼岸和我們台灣的六十年一甲子的對照，以簡單的大事件來呈現。這些歷史大事大家耳熟能詳，但是演講高手的羅博士以「唱作俱佳」(羅博士鎮的現場唱了一首台語老歌,陳芬蘭的【孤女的願望】)方式來談這部歷史大演義，個人的小故事不斷穿插其間，讓我們深刻感受到「人生有情淚沾臆，江草江花豈終極？」的兩岸分治下的人倫故事的感人肺腑和命運的悲涼。
於是現場三十位4599協會的會友，沉浸在中國北方河北省第五代天主教徒、原籍北京的羅家，在羅家父親為了逃避共產黨對天主教徒的迫害，選擇在1948年應聘到高雄擔任電機工程師後，家族的發展軌跡改變了：寶島台灣的家族新的根苗，在高雄港務局第九號宿舍(羅博士曾經在知名的文學出版重鎮, 九歌出版社，出版童年回憶錄【戀戀九號宿舍】），我們得知：北京來的爸媽和七個孩子的六十多年的故事，大哥羅文森，大姐羅貞德，二姊羅高雄(出生在高雄)，三姐羅美麗，還有四妹、大弟羅文彬、小弟，一個外省家庭的大河故事．…他們日後的事業發展，都和台灣的經濟發展，尤其臺灣的加工出口區重鎮高雄的發展故事，密不可分。
而兩岸千絲萬縷的親情紐帶又豈能忽視？羅博士提到當他被美商派到大陸當外派幹部，尋回北京北海公園的老家，看到母親的弟弟: 羅家的舅舅，羅博士當場就跪下來，為這幾十年的親情阻隔．....
多少感人的家族故事，舉重若輕說出來，聽者心中人人有一部【巨流河】，而羅博士更不忘在知性上給大家更多的點撥：同一時代來比較，跨地域的發展經驗，從毛澤東在1950年10月一日在天安門宣示：「中國人民站起來了！」緊接者暴力血腥的「三反」「清鄉」「三面紅旗」，生產力低到谷底，1960年代中國餓死多少百姓，惡行罄竹難書。
同一時間台灣走向「世界經濟體系」,編入美國和日本為主體的製造業加工體系,成為「亞洲四小龍」變成世界製造廠之一,台灣的財富因此累計迄今，但是也由於經濟力的爆發，生產力的過多剩餘，誘發中產階級選民的改革意識，於是解除戒嚴，開放老兵返鄉，金融和媒體解禁，終究走到台灣今天的全面性草根民主的實現，台灣的民主鞏固似乎不是夢。
然而兩岸的經濟競賽繼續到今天。台灣似乎面臨更大的挑戰….
當天津到北京的高鐵只要29分鐘，中國的巨大經濟力已經到了頂，台灣卻陷入發展的瓶頸….
但是曾經走過文化大革命的大陸真的這麼容易就過了關?一胎化導致人口紅利即將告終、國營事業轉型、社會的暴戾和缺乏誠信與和諧、城鄉的差距與房地產泡沫化，還有「太子黨」的權貴資本主義的執政正當性，北京制定的經濟政策能否持續與資本主義的世界合拍?WTO後的世界經濟秩序，列強真的就這樣讓中國平順接軌嗎?十隻手指數不完的挑戰…….這些都是目前沒有立即解答的難題。
羅博士的飽學和風趣，讓現場的三十位朋友如沐春風，大家都說，應該再有續集！

A morning walk on Yale campus! I suddenly remember that exactly a year ago today I gave a lecture on Tang poetry in Tina Lu's class! Tina Lu 摇落深知宋玉悲， 风流儒雅亦吾师（杜甫， 咏怀古迹其二）!
Hanching Chung 我想起Louis Kahn生前從某耶魯辦公室走出來， 到附近某教室說建築......學生們很風趣地將他走路的過程和講話，時間均分...
The Issue With Sexting Isn’t the Sex. It’s the Text.
By KJ DELL'ANTONIA OCTOBER 6, 2014 10:15 AMOctober 6, 2014 10:15 am 11 Comments
New research suggests that in teenagers, sexting isn’t necessarily an indicator of risky sexual behavior, like having multiple partners, using drugs or alcohol before a sexual encounter, or failing to use protection against an unwanted pregnancy. Instead, researchers conducting a longitudinal study of an ethnically diverse group of adolescent students from Southeast Texas suggest that sexting (which they define narrowly as sending a nude image of oneself by text) is both a common and a normal part of adolescent sexual development.
“‘I’ll show you mine, you show me yours’ has been around for a long time,” said Dr. Jeff Temple, an associate professor and psychologist at the the University of Texas Medical Branch and one of the authors of the study, which will be published in the journal Pediatrics. “It’s the medium that makes it different and scary. The actual act of sharing pictures isn’t anything abnormal. It’s part of how we develop sexually.”
The teenagers in the study periodically completed anonymous surveys detailing their history of sexting, sexual activity and other behaviors throughout the six years. The researchers found no link between the act of sending a nude image and risky behavior, but they did find that the odds of a teenager becoming sexually active within the next year were slightly higher among teenagers engaged in active sexting (as opposed to being the recipient of a sext) and that the sexting was more likely to come first — that it was, in many cases, a indicator that a teenager was on the verge of becoming sexually active. Dr. Temple suggests that rather than be alarmed by the discovery that a teenager is sexting, adults should consider it an opportunity.
“I think this is good news,” he said. “It gives us a head start. If we discover that a teen is sexting, it’s an opportunity to talk with that teen about sex prior to having it. We can use this as a vehicle to promote safer sexual practices and healthy sexual relationships.”
But what about the prevailing view that sexting is itself a risky behavior? After all, the surest way to guarantee that no one ever surprises or embarrasses you by publishing naked images stolen from the cloud is not to put naked images of oneself in the cloud in the first place.
That’s a different form of risk, Dr. Temple said. “That’s ‘You show me yours and I’ll show the world’ and it is a problem. We need to do a better job of educating kids that once it’s out there it’s out there.’
Accepting the “sex” part of the sexting as normal development, he suggests, allows us to take a better approach to the “text” piece. “It’s one thing for us to tell them not to do it, and another thing for them when they’re in the situation and a boy or girl they really like is asking and they want to get into a relationship. There’s pressure there. We need to talk about it as something they’re going to want to do and present both sides, and give adolescents more credit than they are typically given.”
And while we’re having that conversation, it’s a good moment to demonstrate how quickly a recipient can get around apps likeSnapchat, that allow users to send photos that disappear within a few seconds of viewing, by grabbing a quick screenshot. Passion may be temporary, and expressing it in pictures may be normal, but nothing on the Internet will ever truly go away.
