More eternal than Rome, more splendorous than Nineveh. The very navel of the world to which, like a blind and faltering idiot, one crawls back on hands and knees. And like a cork that has drifted to the dead center of the ocean, one floats here in the scum and wrack of the seas, listless, hopeless, heedless even of a passing Columbus. The cradles of civilization are the putrid sinks of the world, the charnel house to which the stinking wombs confide their bloody packages of flesh and bone.

它比罗马更久远，比尼尼微更壮观，它是世界的肚脐，人像一只漂到大洋中死一般寂静的软木塞，独自漂浮在这儿，在海洋的渣滓和船只残骸之中，无精打彩、毫无希望，连路过的哥伦布也不去注意他，文明的摇篮也就是扔全世界的腐肉的污水坑，就是尸体存放所，发臭的子宫把骨肉的血污包裹放在里面。

To be fair, the Government has actually begun to pay attention to social development, as evidenced in its setting up of Community Development Councils. In explaining the "Singapore 21" vision, PM Goh Chok Tong also emphasised "heart-ware", a basic material for setting up a "People Sector".

其实，政府近年来已开始注意这方面的发展，社区发展理事会的成立就是一个很好的印证，而吴作栋总理在阐述"21新愿"的理想时所强调的"心件"，实际上就是建立一支"人民体系"的"基本原料"。

Cineaste : In your recent films one is increasingly aware of what feels like a vast structural plan--as if the film exists inside of an enormous amount of precise detail out of which images seem to be improvised, while alluding to an enormous amount that is not seen.

Hou：我花了很多时间在寻找一种形式那基本上说就是一种结构。即兴表达一直是是我的工作状态和方式。但是我所设想的结构比以前更加复杂，想寻找一种令人满意的结构。创作素材都存在于某一载体中，而对我来说这个载体就是结构。因此我停下来寻找一个表现方式和结构安排

According to the clear water experiment, aeration performance of the new equipment is good with high total oxygen transfer coefficient and oxygen utilization ratio.
