There was nothing to do in Loma in the evening except to go to the saloon,……

译文：在洛曼小镇，晚饭后除了去银上唯一的那家酒馆便无事可做?酒馆是一座老式的木 制建筑，有一扇转门，门前人行道上方有一块木制雨篷。无论是政府的禁酒令还是 后来废除禁酒令的法令都未曾改变过它生意的兴隆、頋客的数量，也未曾改变过它 威士忌的质量。每天晚饭后，镇上十五岁以上的男子至少要光顾布法罗酒馆一次， 喝杯酒，聊聊天，然后回家。

酒馆里常有人玩扑克牌，不过其输赢聊胜于无。我那位房东太太的丈夫蒂英和； 罗兹就经常在那里玩单人纸牌游戏。他玩牌老爱作弊，因为他只在赢牌时才买上一杯酒喝。我曾见过他一口气连赢五盘\。赢牌后他便把纸牌整整齐齐地全好，然后直起身，神气十足地走向吧台。酒馆老板兼伙计胖子卡尔不等他走近吧台便会端起已斟了半杯酒的酒杯问：“来杯什么酒？ ”威士忌。”蒂莫西总是庄重地回答。

I am a journalist, not a historian, and while this book is an effort to describe a moment in the, past, it is less a work of history than of personal reminiscence and reflection。。。。。。。 我是新闻工作者，不是历史学家，所以本书描写的虽然是过往岁月中的一刻，却 称不上是一部史学著作，而仅是个人的追思。书中所写的主要是战争期间我本人在华 盛顿的观察和经历，辅以采访等材料。我试图刻画一个城市和一个政府的痛苦与挣扎, 这个城市和政府突然被要求参加战争，还要在战争中领导别的国家，参与的又是有史 以来最伟大的战争，实在是有些措手不及，因此表现得很糟糕，有时甚至很可笑。

这几乎肯定是以第一手资料写成的、有关那个时期的最后一场报道。二战中位高 权重的人物一个接一个很快去世，实在令人不安。有几位原本巳经答应回忆并讲述一 下他们在二战中的经历，可我还没来得及拜访，他们就离开了人世。

我在本书中没有对欧洲及太平洋战区中的宏大战略做详尽的描述。相反，我主要 报道了那些年我在华盛顿的所见所闻。这些往事已经在人们的记亿中变得越来越模糊, 对于那场战争，这个国家中有三分之二的人都太年轻，对它并无记忆。结果，本书描 写的就是一个以战争为背景的“我们的小镇”，讲的是一个城市在根本没有听到一声 枪响的情况下，就卷入了一场全球性冲突，因而变得很惊愕，常常也很困惑。这是一 个不同寻常的城市，设立时主要是想将它建成政府的中心，因此这个城市便和当时的 政府一样，行动十分缓慢，所做相当有限。 第四单元

Apple expects to have a fix this month for a vulnerability in the iPhone that could allow an attacker to gain control of the device remotely via SMS, according to CNET NEWS.com. An attacker could exploit a weakness in the way iPhones handle SMS messages to do things like use GPS to track the phone’s location, turn on the microphone for eavesdropping, or take control of the device and add it to a botnet, Charlie Miller, co-author of The Mac Hacker’s Handbook and principal security analyst at Independent Security Evaluators, said in a presentation at the SyScan conference in Singapore. The presentation was covered by IDG News Service.

Miller said that under an agreement with Apple, he was barred from providing too much detail on the vulnerability. He plans to give a more detailed presentation on the hole at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas at the end of the month.

Despite the SMS hole, the iPhone is more secure than OS X on computers, Miller said. That is because the iPhone doesn’t support Adobe Flash and Java, only runs software digitally signed by Apple, includes hardware protection for data stored in memory, and runs applications in a sandbox, he said.

Apple representatives did not immediately respond to an email request for comment. 摘译：据美国CNET科技资讯网报道，苹果公司预计将于本月修复iPhone中存在的一个安 全漏洞，这一漏洞使黑客能够通过发送短信遥控手机。独立安全评估公司的首席安 全分析师查理.米勒声称，黑客能够利用iPhone处理短信服务中存在的漏洞，采用 全球定位系统来跟踪iPhone的位置，打开手机麦克风窃听用户通话，或者控制手机， 把手机变成“僅尸网络”

A 36-ycar-old Swiss amateur parachutist made a successfiil 650-metre drop using a replica of a parachute designed more than 500 years ago by Leonardo da Vinci. “I came dowih.. smack in the middle of the tarmac at Payeme military airport,** said Olivier Vietti-Teppa. “A perfect jump.” Vietti-Teppa is the first person to have made it safely to the ground with the Leonardo model. In 2000, Britain’s Adrian Nicholas tried it but had to pull the ripcord on a modem backup parachute to complete his descent safely.

Vietti-Teppa jumped from a hovering helicopter and the Leonardo parachute opened at 600 meters, he reported. The parachute he used was made using modem fabric along lines designed by the Renaissance genius. The specifications were found in a text dating from 1485. The parachute consists of four equilateral triangles, seven meters on each side, made of parachute fabric, Vietti-Teppa explained. The base of the pyramid is a square of mosquito net, which enables the parachute to open. A wooden frame originally conceived by da Vinci was not used on the model in action on Saturday. One drawback: it is impossible to maneuver or steer the Leonardo parachute. “You come down at the whim of the wind,” said Vietti-Teppa, who carried out advance tests using a scale dummy model launched from a remote-controlled model helicopter. 摘译：瑞士一名36岁的跳籴爱好者成功地从650米的高空降落，而他用的降落伞可是500 多年前莱昂纳多.达.芬奇设计的降落伞的复制品。维耶提一特帕是第一个用达.芬 奇设计的这款降落伞安全降落到地面的人。他解释说，降落伞是由4个边长为7米 的等边三角形构成，由降落伞绸制作而成。

Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain disclosed Saturday that an eye examination showed two tears in his right retina—a revelation that could embolden critics who want him to step down before a national election. Downing Street moved quickly to quash speculation over Brown’s health, issuing the statement only one day after a regular examination at a London eye hospital. Brown’s office said his eyesight remained unchanged and that no operations were planned to address the situation.“Were there to be any change, he would of course make a further statementj” Brown’s office said in a statement.

Brown, who lost the use of his left eye in a sporting accident when he was a teenager and had surgery to save the sight in the other one, has been dogged by questions about his eyesight in recent months.

During a visit to the United States for the Group of 20 summit, he was forced to deny that he was slowly going blind.

NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams had questioned Brown over reports that he was using larger and larger text sizes as his remaining vision declined.

“I had all sorts of operations,” Brown said during the September interview. “I then had one operation on the other eye and that was very successful, so my sight is not at all deteriorating,” he said.

The same month he told the BBC that “it would be a terrible, terrible indictment of our political system if you thought that because someone had this medical issue they couldn’t do their job.” The September comments came as former Home Secretary Charles Clarke told the London Evening Standard newspaper that he hoped rumors Brown would quit—perhaps on health grounds—would come true.

8

Brown must call a general election by June 2010. Recent polls overwhelmingly suggest that the opposition Conservative Party will win after 13 years out of power.

British prime ministers rarely disclose details about their health unless they need to take time off work~as in 2004, when Brown’s predecessor Tony Blair had a surgical procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat.

Som Prasad, a consultant ophthalmologist at Arrowe Park Hospital in northwest England, said retinal tears affect 3% of people over 40 in Britain, and only occasionally cause serious problems. 摘译：英国首相办公室周六发表声明说，首相戈登?布朗在接受眼睛检查时发现右眼视网膜上有两处裂缝。据悉，反对派可能以此为由要求布朗在大选前提前下台。但布朗办公室说，这次视网膜破裂不影响布朗视力，目前也没有动手术的打算。布朗年轻时 参加体育活动受伤，左眼失明，但通过手术保住了右眼视力。
