Two neighboring office workers are looking at pictures on the internet
Ajie: Look at these pictures. These soldiers are peeing on this prisoner.
Beth: That's disgusting. How could they do such a thing?
Ajie: This is even worse. They've beating him with the butts of their guns.
Beth: I thought those soldiers were supposed to be liberating Iraq, not destroying it.
Ajie: As an American, how does it make you feel to see your country's troops acting this way?
Beth: Well, when you give people the power over life and death, you've bound to create a lot of problems.
Ajie: No offense, but it sure makes the American and British armies look bad.
Beth: None taken. Things will get a lot tougher for Bush and Blair now.

两个坐隔壁的同事在看网络上的照片
阿杰：看看这些照片。这些士兵在这个犯人身上尿尿。
贝丝：那真恶心。他们怎么可以做这种事？
阿杰：这张更糟哩。他们在用枪柄打他。
贝丝：我还以为这些军人是要去解放伊拉克，而非摧毁它。
阿杰：身为一个美国人，看到贵国军队这种行径，你做何感想？
贝丝：这个嘛，当你赋予人生杀大权时，你就一定会制造出很多问题。
阿杰：无意冒犯，但这件事实在让美国和英国军队尊严扫地。
贝丝：我不在意。这下情况对布什和布莱尔会越来越棘手了。

Like the face, the features of the hand are tools of the fortune-teller. The key factors are the size and shape of the mounts, or raised parts of the palm, and the valleys between them. A palmist also looks at the shape of the fingertips and nails. Rounded fingertips, for instance, suggest a lively personality.
和脸一样，手的特征也是算命师的工具，其中的关键因素是“掌丘”，也就是手掌隆起的部分，以及介于之间的低陷部份的大小和形状。手相师也看指尖和指甲的形状。比如，指尖浑圆代表个性活泼。 | |
