Quote

"After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you,perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."
到底什麼是人?我們出生,活了一會兒,然後死去。一隻蜘蛛的人生只能是團亂,整天就是纏網吃蠅。但是透過幫助你,提升了我平淡無奇的生命。天知道每個人的生命都應該能承受得起一點這些的。

取名要訣
Will you just pick out a nice sensible name for me─something not too long, not too fancy, and not too dumb?

最受美國人歡迎的新生兒名字揭曉!根據美國社會安全總署統計,2012年最受美國爸媽喜愛的女嬰名字為艾瑪(Emma),名列美中、南部到東岸31州最火紅女嬰名字的第一名,第二名的蘇菲亞(Sophia),則在美西、.美東的紐約州等16州最受歡迎。其他名字分別是伊莎貝拉(Isabella)。
根據美國社會安全總署統計,2012年最受美國爸媽喜愛的女嬰名字是艾瑪(Emma),總共在31個州裡奪冠,第二名則是蘇菲亞(Sophia),共有16州最愛這個名字。其他名字分別是伊莎貝拉(Isabella)、奧莉薇亞(Olivia)以及艾娃(Ava)。有趣的是,這些名字剛好都以英文字母a作為結尾。
說到男嬰,受歡迎的名字可就多了。其中最受喜愛的是梅森(Mason),在17個州拔得頭籌,其次是威廉(William)以及連恩(Liam),分別都獲得10個州的父母青睞。在不知取什麼名字恰當的情況下,取菜市場名總比不雅名來得好啊!(Fanny 和 Dick 果真沒上榜!)
簡單講,Emma就像雅婷、怡君。Mason可能像我們的家豪、冠宇、宗翰之類的。
What’s in a name?That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. (from Romeo and Juliet)
名稱有什麼關係呢?玫瑰不叫玫瑰,依然芳香如故。
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.
