笑话一则
老师解释道:"中国是一个官本位国家, 当你处在不同的级别、地位,I也有不同的变化,就象你们英语中的形容词有原级、比较级、最高级一样。
比如,你刚来中国,没有地位,对普通人可以说:我、咱、俺、余、吾、予、侬、某、咱家、洒家、俺咱、本人、个人、人家、吾侬、我侬。
如 果见到老师、长辈和上级,则应该说:区区、仆、鄙、愚、走、鄙人、卑人、敝人、鄙夫、鄙躯、鄙愚、贫身、小子、小可、在下、末学、小生、不佞、不才、不 材、小材、不肖、不孝、不类、走狗、牛马走、愚小子、鄙生、贫生、学生、后学、晚生、晩学、后生晚学、予末小子、予小子、余小子。
等到你当了官以后,见到上级和皇帝,则应该说:职、卑职、下官、臣、臣子、小臣、鄙臣、愚臣、奴婢、奴才、小人、老奴、小的、小底。
见到平级,则可以说:愚兄、为兄、小弟、兄弟、愚弟、哥们。
见到下级,则可以说:爷们、老子、大老子、你老子、乃公。
如果你混得好,当上了皇帝或王爷,则可以说:朕、孤、孤王、孤家、寡人、不毂。
如果你不愿意当官,只好去当和尚、道士,则应该说:贫道、小道、贫僧、贫衲、不慧、小僧、野僧、老衲、老僧。
最后一点必须注意,一旦你退休了,便一下子失去了权利和地位,见人也矮了三分,只好说:老朽、老拙、老夫、愚老、老叟、小老、小老儿、老汉、老可、老躯、老仆、老物、朽人、老我、老骨头。
上面一百零八种 I,仅仅是男性的常用说法。更多的 I 明天讲解。
老外听了老师一席话,顿觉冷水浇头.一个晚上没有睡好觉。第二天一大早便向老师辞行:学生、愚、不材、末学、走。退了房间,订了机票,回国去了。
(昨天正琢磨这个中文和英文相比,实在复杂太多的事情,就想到了“I”,不过,在下愚,没人家想得丰富多彩。今天正好在千寻那里看到此笑话,特转之。)

水果(转)
酸性水果不宜多吃
酸性水果如杨梅、梅子、李子等,所含的酸性物质不易被氧化分解,容易导致体内偏酸,一般不宜多吃;酸性水果中含单宁酸,与海味同食会与蛋白质凝固,沉淀于 肠道内,引起呕吐、腹痛腹泻和消化不良;而且水果中的酸味会同胃酸一起刺激胃黏膜,溃疡病患者也不宜吃酸性水果;同时便秘的人也应少吃酸性水果,以免加重 便秘。
不能空腹吃的水果
西红柿、柿子、橘子、山楂、香蕉、杏仁等都不能空腹吃。因为西红柿中含果胶、杭胶酚、可容性收敛剂等,如果空腹吃,就会与胃酸相结合而使胃内压力升高引起 胀痛;柿子所含鞣质与胃酸凝结则形成“柿石”,同时患有胆结石、肾结石的病人吃柿子也要慎重,以免导致病情恶化;橘子中含大量糖分和有机酸,空腹食之则易 产生胃胀、呃酸;山楂味酸,空腹食之则产生胃中嘈杂如饥甚至疼痛;香蕉中的钾、镁含量较高,空腹吃香蕉,使血中镁量升高而对心血管产生抑制作用。杏不能空 腹吃,也不能在吃了肉类和淀粉食物后吃,这有可能引起胃肠功能紊乱。
常见果品怎么吃
西瓜 西瓜是夏季消暑良品,但是糖尿病患者和易胀气的人禁吃西瓜。西瓜和许多含糖量高的水果是在肠内而不是在胃里消化的。因此当西瓜与那些需要用唾液和胃进行消 化的食品一起食用时,西瓜就会在胃中很快被分解,然后开始发酵并形成气体,使人感到胃胀不舒服。由于上述原因,西瓜应当与其他食品分开吃、空腹吃或者食用 其他食品两个小时后再吃。
香蕉 畏寒体弱和胃虚的人不适宜于吃香蕉。因为香蕉在胃肠中消化得很慢,对胆囊不好。
橘子 橘子味甘酸,性凉。有理气润肺、醒酒止痢的功效。橘子可以化湿去痰、解毒止咳、治疗腰痛乳痈等症。但“阴常不足,阳常有余”的人应少吃,以免“上焦火盛。”
苹果 苹果色泽美艳,芳香脆甜,中医认为苹果性平,有补心润肺、生津解毒、益气和胃、醒酒平肝的神效。但是由于果糖和果酸较多,对牙齿有较强的腐蚀作用,吃后最好及时漱口刷牙。
石榴 石榴果肉晶莹艳丽,甘酸生津。中医认为石榴性温涩,润燥兼收敛,主治咽喉燥渴,可止渴生津、涩肠止泻、固肾收敛。但吃多容易伤齿,生痰。
菠萝 菠萝味甘酸、性平,对肾炎水肿、高血压、支气管炎有疗效。但临床上发现有些人吃菠萝后会引起过敏,俗称“菠萝病”或“菠萝中毒”,在食用15分钟至1小时 左右即出现腹痛、恶心、呕吐、腹泻,同时出现过敏症状,头疼、头昏、皮肤潮红、全身发紫、四肢及口舌发麻;严重的会突然晕倒,甚至会出现休克等症状,因此 有菠萝过敏史者忌食。
荔枝 荔枝可补脑健身,通身益智。有诗云:“日啖荔枝三百颗,不辞长作岭南人。”其实不然,荔枝一次不能多吃,多吃可导致上火,引起体内糖代谢紊乱,造成“荔枝 病”(即低血糖)。轻者恶心、出汗、口渴、无力,重则头晕、昏迷等。因此荔枝不能多吃,尤其是儿童不宜大量食用。 芒果 芒果果肉金黄甘美多汁,香气诱人,益胃止吐。果皮可治湿疹皮炎。但不要与辛辣之物同吃,多吃对人的肾脏有害。 柚子 柚子含类胰岛素、维生素、尼克酸、糖类、钙、铁、磷、脂类等。味甘酸、性寒。可下气、消炎、化食醒酒,有独特的降血糖功效。
李子 李子美味多汁,清肝热、活血脉,有美颜乌发的神效。李子多食生痰,损坏牙齿,体质虚弱的患者宜少食。根据前人经验,如李子味苦涩或放入水中漂浮者为有毒,不宜食之。

看到HARRY POTTER,想起一句话:“金庸写的14本书可以连成一个对联:飞雪连天射白鹿,笑书神侠倚碧鸳。J-K罗琳写的7本书也可以连成一句话:哈哈哈哈哈哈哈!”
哈~ 网上看到的。我最喜欢HARRY POTTER的一点就是——这个故事拥有一个美好的结局。
