今天在English The Real Deal看到了Murphy’s Law。这条定律是在1949年从美国空军的Capt. Edward A. Murphy口中诞生的,到现在已经有了无数变型和引伸,但中心思想就是一句话:If anything can go wrong, it will。列几条比较基本的,用最近常见到的一个词来形容,这些定律非常死相-_-。
MURPHY’S LAWS
- Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
- If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
- If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
- If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
- Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
- If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
- Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
- Mother nature is a bitch.
- It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
- Everything takes longer than you think.
- Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
- Every solution breeds new problems.
还有一张poster,上面列的几条是相对更生活化的,当然也同样死相,比如The chance of a slice of bread falling butter side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet(面包掉落有黄油的一面着地的概率正比于地毯的价格)。上面还强调Murphy was an optimist。如果我们已经知道everything will go wrong,那么也就没什么好畏惧的了。所以让我们共同乐观对待这个美好的世界吧,禀承The Murphy Philosophy: Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse. lol

我是一个赖床的人,所以闹钟对我来说非常重要,自然响起的歌也需要合适。上一个手机闹钟用的一直是品冠的《起床》,主要觉得名字比较契合,而且旋律很柔和。现在换了新手机也就趁机换首新歌。目前的主打是Kings of Convenience的《I’d Rather Dance With You》,稍微热闹一点哈,毕竟现在每天都需要比较早起,太柔和叫不起我了。KOC是我一直特别喜欢的indie小乐团,两个成员都各有特色,顺便推荐一下他们。
I’d Rather Dance With You
I’d rather dance with you than talk with you
So why don’t we just move into the other room
There’s space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tuneEven if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven’t read a single book all year
And the only film I saw, I didn’t like it at allI’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you…The music’s too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I’ll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you’ll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing…I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you…
I’d rather dance with you
I’d rather dance with you

刚从poster session回来,站两个多小时加上讲解真是累啊。给评审讲完后,才有功夫去要了杯红酒,溜达了溜达。虽然最后三个得奖者里没有我,我觉得其实讲的还是不错的,结果公布后一个评审还过来和我握手说我讲的很好,不过大家都很不错,每一组只能选一个冠军,我绝对算是最impressive的之一了,起码这句话可以聊以自慰。而且虽然我没得,至少我们实验室的一个师兄Andy得了,嘿嘿,按照老板的奖金分享提议,Andy已经开始计划周五的小庆祝午餐了。除了评审,还有不少其他人也过来问问题,整体都还不错的样子。今天正好属于英语水平波动周期中的上半部分,所以感觉水平还不错哈。
不管怎样,结束了。继续回来批作业带实验写作业准备期中考试顺便抽时间看电影了。
