這兩天頻果的Steve Jobs 辭去執行長（CEO, chief executive officer）職務
但仍續任頻果董事長（chairman of the board),
CEO 將由原來的營運長（COO, chief operating officer）Tim Cook 接任.
board 此處指 董事會 ： board of directors,
director 指 "董事" , 直譯就是 指揮別人辦事者.
一群想指揮別人辦事的人 湊在一起開會 就變成董事會,
董事會裡坐大位的（chairman, chairperson） 就是 董事會主席 也就是董事長.
那 總裁（president） 跟 董事長 有何不同呢？
Steve Jobs stepped down from the position of CEO of a sudden？ also of a legendary success
in IT industry. He will still serve as chairman of the board.
*董事 是 director, 那監事呢？ --> supervisor, 監事湊在一起 board of supervisors
*比較特別的是委員會 英文用committee, 委員則是"委員會的成員" -> member of a committee
是否可以用 delegate 指委員呢？ 委員會是否就變成 board of delegates?

debt ceiling 舉債上限
前一陣子新聞常提到的辭彙 : debt ceiling 舉債上限
聯想到NBA/MLB ... 的薪資上限 : salary cap
salary cap 有針對單一球員 也有限制整個球隊的
主要是避免某些球隊用銀彈策略 高薪挖角 例如Y隊 ...
說到ceiling , 原意指天花板
相反詞就是地板 : floor
數學裏有兩個取整數值的函數 就叫ceiling 與 floor
職場裏看不見的天花板 : glass ceiling
The glass ceiling is invisible but will hurt those people
who dare jump to hit it.

七夕情人節
七夕情人節: 中國的情人節 , Chinese Valentine's Day
牛郎與織女因觸犯天條 受罰每年只有七夕能夠相見
藉著喜鵲成橋 渡銀河相聚
喜鵲 :magpie, pica?
銀河: the Milky Way (: 從英文直接翻回來就變成 "奶道"/"乳化道" :)
銀河系: Galaxy
銀河 == 銀河系?
//===
鵲橋相會 悲喜交集
情深緣淺 還君明珠
Yearly meeting on Pica bridge
Mixing tears and smile on lunar July 7
Deep love but no matching karma
Return pearl without a word but my heart
//===
中國有七世夫妻的傳說
牛郎織女為其中一世 (第一世?)
The cowboy and the weaving maid are said as the first generation of
the seven times of reincarnation.
十年修得同船度
百年修得共枕眠
七世夫妻得修七百年!
怎麼修?
很多佛教團體 都在修
為何修?
大部分說 解脫輪迴 離苦得樂
個人沒聽過說要修七世夫妻的 ...
不過 沒說未必不想 想了未必會作
做了不一定能成 成了搞不好就想解脫
這就叫輪迴? ...
望生生世世結髮相伴
wanna be hinged with you "life after life."
//=== Samsara and Nirvana(梵文譯音) 輪迴和涅槃
"
Samsara and nirvana are nothing but different
manifestations of a basic continuum.
So this continuity of consciousness is always present.
~The Dalai Lama
"
//=== 修行的英文 :
to practice Buddhism or Taoism according to the (religious) doctrines
似乎和中文的"修行" 不太一樣
或許該說中文的"修行"二字比較廣義/模糊
英文的解釋比較明確 可能也比較貼近佛教的本意 ...
帶髮修行的英文:
to practice Buddhism without tonsure
