一个多月前，季羡林先生去世后的那几天里，电视上连续播放了几集有关他的专题片，里面有一些镜头是两只猫跟着他在燕园散步，周围几个人指指点点，很是好奇。翻看先生的散文集，里面收录了专门写猫的一篇文章，题目就是《老猫》，这只黑猫还有个名字——虎子。文章很长，点点滴滴记录了老人和动物和谐相处的感人情景，是的，一个爱护、心疼小动物的人内心一定是善良的，在他的世界里处处是温暖，时时是爱心。前几天，上海台播了一则新闻，说的是一群爱猫人士围堵一辆满载着五百多只将被送到广东餐桌上的猫的大卡车，双方发生了激烈的争执，看到一只只可怜的小家伙们脸上那种孤独、无助、凄凉、哀怨的表情，我心里很难受。一位老太太流着泪说：这些小动物着谁惹谁啦，它们也是生命，它们也有生存的权利，现在口口声声说要建设和谐社会，她们这些退休老人，坐在公园的长椅上，脚下小猫小狗穿来穿去，嬉戏打闹，难道不是一幅最好的和谐图画吗？</STRONG> 我本来是不喜欢猫的，第一，怕它们身上不干净，到处跑，难免带上什么危害人健康的病菌；第二，也知道这些小东西惯不得，给它一点好，就会老缠着你，非常腻味人；第三 |
 英国首相戈登·布朗（Gordon Brown）本周三在议会下院进行每周例行问答时，因为把美国女星瑞茜·威瑟斯彭（Reese Witherspoon）和芮妮·齐薇格（Renee Zellweger）混为一谈而闹了笑话。 曾凭借电影《与歌同行》（Walk the Line）而荣膺奥斯卡影后的瑞茜·威瑟斯彭本周三以“反家庭暴力大使”的身份访问了英国议会，在之后的首相问答环节中，布朗应邀对这位好莱坞女星进行道贺，在贺词中布朗说到他“非常感谢芮妮·威瑟斯彭力推的这项（反家庭暴力）运动”，他还说这位女演员去年在英国导演安东尼·明格拉（Anthony Minghella）葬礼上的悼词很感人。 而事实上，去年在安东尼·明格拉（Anthony Minghella）葬礼上致悼词的是曾出演过《冷山》（Cold Mountain）并因此片荣获奥斯卡最佳女配角的芮妮·齐薇格。瑞茜·威瑟斯彭和她完全是风马牛不相干的两个人。 这已经不是布朗第一次在讲话中出现口误，去年12月10日他在议会下院首相问答环节中曾把“拯救银行”误说成“拯救世界”，今年2月4日他在议会下院首相问答环节又误称世界经济陷入“萧条”。 作者：Nemo |
