乌托邦 Dec 13, 2015

Steve,

我想,外国人一般不会去这“原乡美利坚”居住。对其感兴趣的恐怕是某些较富裕的中国人。这些人不懂英语也无妨。据说这个“原乡美利坚”已经出了北京延庆县地界,位于河北省境内。我原以为那里的空气会比较干净,但没想到它仍然难逃雾霾的魔掌!

不过,就算是乌托邦也难免会有不完美的地方。北京臭名昭著的雾霾经常会遮住原乡美利坚的山景

居庸关外的 Jackson Hole Dec 13, 2015

Yueyin,

I still remember posting this news clip about this place reported by CNN's Steven Jiang quite well. It took me a while to locate it though.

不光是 Jackson Hole 的动植物,还有很多更重要的东西是他们根本就无法“克隆”的。

Steve,

I am wondering why these people don't just immigrate to the United States since they love the American lifestyle so much.

大略地通读了一下《假装住在美国西部》(像是在过家家 ),我怎么觉得通篇读起来味如嚼蜡。撇开一些很蹩脚的译文不说,把 “America represents wilderness and freedom” 翻译为“美国代表着狂野与自由”,IMO, 其中对 wilderness 的处理很不贴切。

Oxygen Dec 15, 2015

Steve,

Thank you for introducing the Boost, which might be a necessity under certain circumstances. When I visited the summit of Pines Peak in Colorado in 2011, I truly felt that the "100% pure Rocky Mountain air" was not good enough for me although I could breathe as much as I wanted free of charge. Next time when I visit Pines Peak or any other 14ers, I will definitely take several bottles of the Boost with me. ...

Banff, Alberta Dec 15, 2015



  "据加拿大星网报道,阿尔伯塔省的两位创业者Paquette以及Moses Lam在开玩笑的时候,想出了这个点子,售卖阿尔伯塔省的新鲜空气。

  他们最初把阿尔伯塔省Banffe (sic) 的山野空气放进密封的塑料袋,在eBay上售卖,标价9毛9。此后,他们再次尝试进行销售,结果,第二袋新鲜空气卖出了168美元。"



             


Yueyin,

According to Wikipedia: "At an elevation of 1,400 m (4,600 ft) to 1,630 m (5,350 ft), Banff is the community with the second highest elevation in Alberta after Lake Louise."

But for $168 a pop, I'd go for the Boost (95% pure oxygen).

Steve,

Banff, Alberta 真是个美丽清净的好地方。不过,连那两位创业者自己都觉得出这个点子是开玩笑,竟然还有不少人愿意去买。可见,事情实在是到了令人无法忍受的地步。但是,雾霾不是一天两天的事情,袋装新鲜空气无异于杯水车薪。那些人钱再多,靠烧钱也不是解决问题的根本办法。
