Business is the instrument that mankind has settled on to propagate change. Take a long step back and what do you see? A world of invention and unintended consequences.Other things make the world go round as well—love, principally, and coffee—but there is nothing quite like the study of business to illuminate where we have been and where we are going. The poet Archibald MacLeish, when he was a staff writer at Fortune, described his job as to “report the world of business as an expression—a peculiarly enlightening expression—of the Republic, of the changing world.” It has become a bit of a catchphrase among tech people to say that one’s company is going to “change the world.” Many companies do, in small ways. But disrupting, say, the taxi business is not going to set future historians atwitter (though Twitter conceivably might). We surveyed Fortune’s brain trust to come up with a ranking of the 27 companies that have done the most to alter the way we live. Then, of course, we couldn’t stop. So when you’ve considered this compilation, click through to two companion pieces, 11 quirky companies that totally blew your mind, and 20 companies that changed the world—in fiction.12. McDonald'sThe fast-food giant turned food production into a science through automation, training us to expect consistency from our food. (Founder Ray Kroc has been credited with saying, "I put the hamburger on the assembly line.") McDonald's MCD -0.46% made the Big Mac and fries synonymous with American cuisine around the world, serving 70 million customers a day in more than 35,000 restaurants in 120 countries. "The hamburger is symbolic of our society," says Heidelberg University professor and fast-food industry scholar David Hogan, "and McDonald's is of course the ambassador and marketer of that concept." —Beth Kowitt11. Wright Co.The Wright brothers were not the first to build and fly airplanes, and their company focused more on defending their patent rights than on developing new aircraft. (In fact, some argue that the Wrights' patent battles impeded the growth of the nascent aviation business). But their patent, no. 821393, described the invention of three-axis control—covering pitch, roll, and yaw—that made fixed-wing aircraft practical. Their method remains standard for airplanes today. —Tim Smith10. FacebookA decade after Mark Zuckerberg, then a Harvard undergrad, launched a service to connect everyone in the world, Facebook FB 0.02% is growing closer to its goal: 1.3 billion active users, three-fifths of whom log on every single day. Facebook introduced a new way to navigate the web—via the scrolling “newsfeed” of personal updates that has become a staple on many websites—and a new way to organize digital information—via personal relationships instead of page links. In the process, the company reinvented brand marketing on the web, replacing the reviled banner ad with highly targeted ads that brought in $7.9 billion in sales in 2013. Even as Zuckerberg, who just turned 30, continues to run Facebook, he’s using his largesse to tackle education reform; he has pledged $220 million so far to school reform efforts in Newark, N.J. and the Bay Area. —Jessi Hempel9. Otis ElevatorThe year is 1854. Hundreds gather in the New York Crystal Palace, the iron-and-glass exhibition hall at the center of the World’s Fair, to watch a man standing on a platform four stories high, suspended by a single taut rope. A few electrifying moments pass before Elisha Otis signals his assistant, hovering by the rope with an outstretched sword, to sever the cable in two. The crowd gasps. The platform jolts—but doesn’t fall, as a pair of hidden leaf springs engage the rails, keeping Otis’s “safety elevator” miraculously in place. Credit the showmanship to P.T. Barnum, who hired Otis to perform this stunt several times a day for a whole month. Credit the world-changing invention to Otis, who founded his elevator company in an old Yonkers, N.Y., bedstead factory the year before. The safety elevator made it possible for buildings to climb ever skyward—from the 20-story Flatiron Building in New York (equipped with Otis elevators in 1902) to the nearly 60-story Woolworth Building a decade later, to the 103-story Empire State Building in 1931. It was this fast, reliable people-and-freight mover that made possible the office tower and the city skyline, that made high-rises and penthouses symbols of status, that made awkward elevator talk a daily rite of passage for hundreds of millions of souls. Fiber rope shifted to steel cables. Electronic buttons have largely replaced flesh-and-blood operators. But the safety elevator of today is much the same as the one that wowed the World’s Fair audience 16 decades ago. And for all that time, the Otis Elevator Company, now part of United Technologies UTX -0.70% , has dominated the industry it created. —Clifton Leaf8. SonyThe way the world thinks of audio and video products was fundamentally redirected by Sony SNE -1.17% from the 1950s through the 1980s. The company didn't make the first transistor radio, but in 1957 it introduced a hugely successful one that helped propel the concurrent revolution in popular music. Its color TV sets of the 1960s and 1970s raised the global standard for quality. The Walkman, introduced in 1979, again revolutionized the way the world listens to music; it foreshadowed the iPod, which Sony obviously should have invented. But by then its fortunes had changed. Beyond transforming an industry, Sony also helped advance its country. In the 1950s and 1960s, “Made in Japan” was a punchline that meant laughably poor quality. By the 1980s it meant the opposite, and Sony products were the most visible cause of the change. —Geoff Colvin7. BayerChemists working for Bayer synthesized Prontosil, the first antibiotic, in 1932, more than a decade before penicillin became commercially available. Prontosil and subsequent “sulfa” drugs—the first chemicals used to treat bacterial infections—opened a new era in medicine. Gerhard Domagk, a Bayer researcher, was awarded the Nobel Price for his work on prontosil in 1939. —Tim Smith6. AppleApple AAPL -0.41% changed the world by augmenting its simple-to-use PC with music software and a portable player to go with it, a groundbreaking smartphone, and a tablet computer—all of which work together brilliantly. It also taught us that mavericks can succeed in business; that even a box of molded plastic can be beautifully designed; that single-digit market share doesn’t spell death in a fast-moving industry; that one man really can define the soul of a giant corporation; that focus trumps breadth; that clever marketing can convince people around the world to love a company, even a company whose workplace is a brutal grind; that brand matters; that putting an “i” in front of a product’s name is infinitely repeatable; and, perhaps most importantly, that being better is vastly preferable to being first. —Adam Lashinsky5. Suez Canal Co.Fernand de Lesseps’s company dug the modern canal, completed in 1869, using forced Egyptian labor. It wasn’t an original idea; Pharaohs had been doing the same thing in the same place in pre-Christian times. No wonder: The canal, at 102 miles long (and about 78 feet deep today) is the shortest route between the East and the West. —Tim Smith4. GoogleDream up something outlandish. Make it ubiquitous. Repeat. That’s been Google’s formula since day one, as it embarked on an ambitious mission to organize the world’s information. Tame the web? Check. Build a computer that fits in your pocket? Check. Photograph every street to make it navigable from afar? Check. Digitize the planet's books? Check. Build a polyglot translator in software? Check. Think of Google GOOG as a factory for major innovations, from self-driving cars to wearable computers to technology for extending the lifespan of humans. —Miguel Helft3. GEGE GE changed the world in not one or two, but three big ways. Guided by Thomas Edison, founder of the predecessor company Edison General Electric, it brought electricity and light bulbs to America and the world. That alone would be enough to put GE high up on our list, but there’s more. Transformation No. 2 was creating America’s first research lab. No. 3 was building an elaborate system of management development, a new idea at the advent of the giant corporation, that has guided companies around the world for over a hundred years. —Geoff Colvin2 British East India CompanyThe Dutch had their East India Company, considered by many the first true multinational, which rampaged across Asia using military force to pursue the spice trade. But the British East India Company, founded in 1600, was the real imperial colossus: It ruled much of India, sparked the Opium Wars with China, and grew to account for half the world’s trade. —Tim Smith1. FordDuring a period of unparalleled innovation early in the 20th century, Ford Motor F developed the moving assembly line, raised the wages of the workers who manned it to $5 a day, and made the Model T affordable to millions of buyers, thereby giving birth to the automobile age. By constantly refining its mass-production methods, Ford brought the price of the “T” down to $240, and the car became so popular it required no advertising. The “T” was also built in 12 foreign countries, making it the first world car. Today, Ford is still the world’s fifth-largest automaker, controlled by the descendants of Henry Ford, the inventor who founded it 111 years ago. —Alex Taylor III

Ladies, I am sure many of you have had that man in your life who just could not commit to you. No matter what you said or did, he just seems to drag his feet. Yes, sometimes it really is hard for men to commit to a relationship and I am sure that leaves many women wondering why.Was it you? Was it him? Did you smother him? Were you bossy? Did you nag too much?What was the reason behind his inability to commit? Men claim that women are the ones who are complicated and unpredictable but in reality, men can be just as complicated and unpredictable as women. The truth is that there could be a number of reasons why men can't or won't commit to a long term relationship. Sometimes it's the woman and sometimes it's the man.Why? I am confident in saying that every woman has asked themselves this question at some point in their life. Why won't he commit? Why can't I find the man for me? Why is finding love so hard? These are very common questions and many women feel that there are no answers or they are not satisfied with the answers they have heard. I have heard many women claim that men are just "mean" or "jerks" and that is why they will not commit. In reality, there are many reasons why men do not commit that women cannot see or realize.Men are scared. I have known many women who feel that men have no fear in relationships by putting themselves out there. It is very common for women to assume that men are not intimidated by women or scared about getting their heart broken. These assumptions are false.Men do have feelings and many men are afraid of getting hurt, even though they may act fearless. Every heart is fragile; both men and women's. If a man feels that he has a chance of being significantly hurt in the relationship, it can drive him to leave because of the fear he feels. It can cause him to hold back from commitment. Men tend to avoid talking about their feelings and this is the reason behind the assumptions that they have no feelings. Men do get scared and thus should be treated with love and affection.Clingy. Women can sometimes get a bad reputation for being needy and/or clingy. This is a very common reason why men will not commit to you. From my personal experience, being needy in a relationship only brings pain and heartache. I have been very clingy and needy in my past relationships which drove a wedge in between my partner and I. I felt the need to be with him at all times and wanted him to feel the same way. He didn't. In healthy relationships, you cannot expect to be attached by the hip at all times. By you acting on the feeling of needing to be with your man at all times, it may slowly drive him away.Most men desire and need time with their friends without you. Guys want to have a social life and a once-in-a-while a boy's night. If he feels that you will be upset if he goes out with his friends, he will feel bad all night long. He will not be able to enjoy himself and this can make him rethink his relationship status. Let your man have time with his beloved friends!Be mysterious. It is important for a relationship to have some mystery to keep the element of surprise present. If you are too predictable, your man can get bored easily. If he knows every word you are going to say before you say it or know every action you are going to take before you take it, you could be too predictable. Remember that men love to be surprised by you and being mysterious can keep him to stay intrigued.Be a woman. In society today, men and women are mainly considered equal. Women can do anything men can do, right? Wrong. Women need to be women. If you are too competitive or too masculine, men can lose interest fast. Men typically want a woman who is loving, caring, and feminine. The last thing a man wants in a relationship is to feel like he is dating another man. You must remember your feminine roots and channel your feminine energies to help and guide you to be a woman.It is important to take good care of yourself, as well. Men want a woman who cares about herself and can show it. This can be opposite of clinginess and neediness. If you show your man that you are capable of taking care of yourself, it can show him that you are ready for a long term commitment and not only looking for love as something fun for the moment.Communication. If you feel that your man is not committing or does not seem interested in making a long term commitment, communicate with him about it. If you have questions, ask him. It is important to make sure you are both on the same page before diving in to any kind of relationship. Let him know that you are looking for a long term partner and are interested in committing to him. Give him a chance to communicate with you about his goals as well. The worst that can happen is he does not tell you what you want to hear and that simply means he is not the one for you. Communication can go a long way with your partner and I would highly recommend it.Some men are simply late bloomers. They want to commit, but they are not ready quite as quickly as women. They really take the whole shebang into consideration before thinking about tying the knot or making a long-term commitment. Try not to rush your man. Enjoy each day as it comes and let things progress nicely. If you get so caught up in committal issues, you might not be able to enjoy the relationship right now and that won’t do anyone any good.

I sometimes feel like I have spent the first half of my life struggling to get ahead and haven't really gotten anywhere to speak of. I'm always in a hurry…no time to talk, I've got “THINGS to do.”有时候感觉我的前半生一直在挣扎着去获取成功，却并没任何真正的成功可言。我总是匆匆忙忙…没时间说话，我总是有事要做。Sound familiar? Western society is terribly goal-oriented and it's almost impossible to avoid being indoctrinated into this accomplishment mindset. We're so anxious to move beyond where we are; to escape our current circumstances and to get to wherever it is that we think we are going. An old Taoist story illustrates my point nicely:听着熟悉吗？西方社会总是以目标为导向，要避免被灌输这种成就心态几乎是不可能的。我们是如此渴望超越当前的自己，逃离当下到达我们所想要去的地方。古老的道教故事可以很好的说明我的观点。“There was a man who disliked seeing his footprints and his shadow. He decided to escape from them, and began to run. But as he ran along, more footprints appeared, while his shadow easily kept up with him. Thinking he must be going too slowly, he ran faster and faster without stopping, until he finally collapsed from exhaustion and died.If he had stood still, there would have been no footprints. If he had rested in the shade, his shadow would have disappeared.”——Chuang-tse“曾经有一个人不喜欢看到他自己的脚印和影子，他决定甩掉它们，所以开始奔跑，可是他跑得越快影子也跟得越快，他跑的步子越多脚印也越多。他想，可能是自己跑得不够快才甩不掉影子的，于是他越跑越快，一刻也不敢停，直到筋疲力竭、心力交瘁而死。如果他定定的站着，就不会有脚印，如果他在阴凉里休息，他的影子就会消失。”——庄子Ancient wisdom can be eerily timely, can't it? Hurrying to escape where we are and to get where we are going, we often rush headlong into disaster. Our fast-paced lives wait for no man (or woman) and create a sense of desperation and time-pressure that can be draining. The anxiety we feel breeds muddled thinking which leads to poor choices. Poor choices lead to suffering and pain. It's a race to the finish that we're destined to lose.古代智慧能出奇的及时，不是吗？急于摆脱现状到达我们要去的地方，结果我们总是一头栽进灾难里。我们的快步调生活不等待任何人，并产生一种绝望感和时间压力。这种焦虑使我们思想混乱进而导致糟糕的选择，而糟糕的选择又使人痛苦。这是我们注定要失败的一场比赛。Taoist wisdom suggests that there is another way. Tao, in fact, means “the way” and it refers to living life in the way that nature intended. Many of us spend our time and energy doing battle with life when the key is to live in harmony with it.道教思想给我们提供了另外一条道路。道，实际上是指“方式”，它是指道法自然，与自然融合的生活方式。我们许多人花大量时间和精力与生活做斗争，殊不知关键是要与它和谐相处。So, how does this work?那这个思想如何起作用呢？How do we live in harmony with life?我们又如何与生活和谐相处？How can this help us to do less, and get more done?这如何让我们事半功倍呢？We can start by listening to the wisdom of voices from the past. While I am only recently acquainted with the principles of Taoism myself and have admittedly limited knowledge, what I have learned so far is just too good not to share.我们可以从聆听先贤的智慧开始。尽管我自己也是最近才接触到道家哲学思想的，得承认所学知识有限，我目前所学不多但非常好所以迫切与大家分享。Here are four Taoist secrets to doing less and getting more done that I have found. I hope they will help you as much as they are helping me.这是我找到的4个事半功倍的道教秘籍，我希望它们能够像帮助我一样能帮助到你们。1. Cultivate Inner Quiet.平静内心世界。Okay, this is no big surprise. The Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, your Aunt Crystal…they've all been saying this for a long time (but I'd venture to guess that the Taoists were among the first). Taoism offers us the same wise advice skewed to the practical.这没什么奇怪的。达赖喇嘛，乔布拉（Deepak Chopra），韦恩戴尔（Wayne Dyer），你姑姑水晶（your Aunt Crystal）等他们很久以前都说过这句话（但我敢说老子是第一个说的）。道家思想为我们提供了同样明智并偏重实际的建议。Meditation, Tai Chi, Taoist Yoga…any of these methods can be used to help us calm our anxious minds and reduce stress, but Taoist philosophy suggests that it can do even more. Cultivating inner quiet helps us to clearly see, not only what is around us, but what is inside of us as well. It enables us to…冥想，太极，道教瑜伽，任何一种方式都帮助我们平静焦虑的思想，减轻压力。但是道家哲学表明它能做到更多。内心的平静可以帮助我们看的更清楚，不光我们周围还有我们的内心。2. Live in the Moment.活在当下。As members of Western society, we tend to focus our lives on goal attainment, on the great reward that awaits us when we get “there.”作为西方社会的一员，我们倾向于把生活重心放在达目标，以及达到目标时等待我们的丰厚回报上。Taoism, like many other philosophies, teaches us that most of life is made up of the long spans of time between accomplishments or goals. Our lives consist mostly of time spent on the journey. Yet we waste most of this time struggling, striving and clawing our way towards our goals; sacrificing enjoying the journey for what amounts to a brief moment of joy when, and if, we reach our destination.道家思想，像其他哲学思想一样，教导我们人生的大半部分由取得成就和达到目标之间的过程组成，我们的生命大部分时间花在途中。然而我们浪费大量的时间在拼命努力追求目标上；牺牲了沿途的快乐，如果可能的话，当我们实现目标时却只有片刻的愉悦。Then we quickly get bored with our accomplishment and it's back to the hamster wheel we go. The Taoists seem to believe that a focus on the present moment and on “what is” will not only create inner peace and help you to enjoy your journey through life, but that it will help you to move forward in life toward your goals quite effortlessly as well. For those of us who are reluctant to let go of our goals, refusing to take our eyes off of the prize, this is added incentive. How does being focused on the now help us to accomplish things? It helps us to see more clearly and choose more wisely…然后我们很快厌倦了我们的成就，又回到我们开始的起点。道家思想似乎相信着眼当下以及“事实本相”不仅能让内心平静还能助你享受生命旅途的愉悦，但这也会让你毫不费力地向着自己的目标前进。对于那些不愿意放开目标，拒绝把目光从奖励中移开的人来说，这又是一大诱惑。关注现在能怎样帮助我们完成任务呢？它能让我们看得更清楚，做出更明智的选择。3. You Can't Save Time…You Can Only Spend It.你不能节省时间…你只会浪费时间。Okay, Taoists aren't the only ones saying this either but, again, they can best speak to its practical application. Being attentive to the current moment, you are able to see “what is.”好吧，并不是只有道家思想说过这个，但再次强调，他们最能讲它的实际应用。能够着眼当下你就能看到“事实本相”。Seeing “what is”, rather than “what we think should be there”, is immensely helpful. It allows us to recognize our inner nature (who we are and what we have to work with) and to clearly see the circumstances around us. That enables us to get more done with far less effort.看到事物的本相而不是我们认为应该是什么样的是非常有帮助的。它能让我们看到自己的本性（我们是谁以及我们应该干什么）并看清我们周围的情况。这些能让我们用最少的努力做更多的事情。Think of it this way; when we are racing around trying to do everything quickly, we miss the many clues that are around us everyday, clues that can help us on our journey. It's like being in a car that's racing down the highway at 90 mph. How likely is it that you are going to be able to read the road signs that are there to help get you to where you are going?这样来说吧，当我们匆忙奔波于怎么快速完成任务时，我们就错过了身边的可以帮助我们的线索。就像坐在以90mph速度奔驰在高速的车里一样，你怎么可能看到那些可以帮助找到你到达目的地的路标呢？It's the same principle. The world provides us with many signs that we are on either the right or the wrong track…a hurried mind blows past these signs, seeing nothing more than a blur. Taking time to read the signs helps you to…同样，世界给我们提供了许多人生的路标而我们走的路有正确的也有错误的…匆忙的人往往忽略这些线索，眼前只剩模糊一片。花点时间关注一下那些可以帮助你的生路标吧…4. Go with the Flow.顺其自然。Tai Chi and other Taoist martial arts require the ability to go with the flow, to yield rather than to resist. Advantage is gained by neutralizing the opponent's force or by using it against him rather than by struggling and meeting force with force.太极和其他道教武功要求顺其自然，行云流水，去顺从而不是反抗。优势的取得通过抵消对手的力量或借力发力而不是硬碰硬地斗。This is often illustrated by the flow of water. When water in a stream is confronted by a rock in it's path, it allows the rock to push it aside, thereby flowing effortlessly around it, rather than trying to plow its way through the rock. Put into practice, this enables us to we work with, not against the circumstances in our lives to get where we are going.这经常以流水来说明，当流水途中遇到石头，流水会让石头把它分成几股细流，毫不费力地从石头旁边流过去，而不是穿过石头开出一条路来。运用在实际中就是要我们去合作而不是抵抗我们前进方向中所会遇到的各种情况。Like all philosophical or spiritual systems, Taoism has much to say about life and I have only managed to touch the tip of the iceberg. While there are as many philosophies of life as there are people, I think that the beauty of Taoism is it's simplicity and its applicability to everyday life.

How many times has the average person been greeted with the phrase "long time, no see" after running into an old acquaintance? My guess is plenty. But how and why did such a grammatically awkward phrase become a widely accepted part of American speech?It turns out there are, at least, two strong possibilities.The first time "long time, no see" appeared in print was in the 1900 Western "Thirty-One Years on the Plains and in the Mountains, Or, the Last Voice from the Plains An Authentic Record of a Life Time of Hunting, Trapping, Scouting and Indian Fighting in the Far West, by William F. Drannan. That last part of the novel's very long title is relevant here, as it gives a good indication of the kind of story Drannan wanted to tell.According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Drannan used the phrase to describe an encounter with a Native American he had previously met, "I knew he had recognized me. When we rode up to him he said: 'Good morning. Long time no see you, ' and at the same time presented the gun with breech foremost."The phrase would be used in a similar way in Jeff W. Hayes' Tales of the Sierras, another Western published in 1900. Once again, the phrase was attributed to an American Indian, "Ugh, you squaw, she no long time see you: you go home mucha quick."While Drannan's book was the first time this exact phrase appears in print, the exact origins of "long time, no see" are the subject of ongoing debate among linguists and historians.Eric Patridge's "Dictionary of Catch Phrases American and British traces the term to the early 1900s, but says it has Asian origins and was brought back to England by members of the British Navy, who picked it up through the pidgin English used by the Chinese people they encountered.There is a separate account that lends weight to this latter theory except that it involves members of the U.S. Navy. An excruciating letter published in Our Navy, the Standard Publication of the U.S. Navy, Volume 13 includes the following:"Then Ah Sam, ancient Chinese tailor, familiarly known as 'Cocky, ' after taking one good look at the lieutenant said, 'Ah, Lidah, you belong my velly good flend. Long time no see you handsome face.'"As the Applied Applied Linguistics blog points out in the debate over whether "long time no see" has Native American or Chinese origins. "The earliest written usages are all native English speakers 'reporting' the speech of non-native speakers, from about 1840-1915. ... The literature of that era is rife with stylized English attributed to non-native speakers — can we trust it?"As the 20th century progressed, "long time no see" began to evolve from a phrase in broken English to a standard way to greet an old acquaintance. By 1920, the phrase makes it into Good Housekeeping magazine. The novelist Raymond Chandler used it in more than one of his books. In Farewell, My Lovely, Moose Malloy drolly tells his ex-girlfriend Velma, "Hiya, babe. Long time no see." And in 1949, the poet Ogden Nash published his poem "Long Time No See, Bye Now" in The New Yorker. The poem introduces us to Mr. Latour, "an illiterate boor" who "calls poor people poor instead of underprivileged."Today, the phrase "long time no see" is so widespread as a greeting that there's nothing to indicate the term's origins, be they Native American or Mandarin Chinese.Given its ubiquitous usage in books, conversations, movies, songs and television programs, the phrase is now widely identified with American culture. So much so that it was included in Ya Gotta Know It!: A Conversational Approach to American Slang for the ESL Classroom. Long time, no see has gone from pidgin English to entrenched, American English slang in little over a century.

In Urban Dictionary：no zuo no die, You can you up, no can no BB, gelivable, zhuangbility… come on！1、no zuo no dieThis phrase is of Chinglish origin. Means if you don't do stupid things, they won't come back and bite you in the ass. (But if you do, they most certainly will.) Zuo /zwo/ is a Chinese character meaning 'act silly or daring (for attention)'【example】A: Some dude baked cookies shaped like iPhone, held it by the mouth when driving, tried to mess with traffic cops.B: Did he pull it off?A: Cop was pissed and ran his name through the system. Turns out he's got speed tickets unpaid!B: No zuo no die.2、you can you upTranslated from Chinglish. If you can do it then you should go up and do it. It's used against people who criticize others' work, especially when the criticizer is not that much better. Often followed by "no can no BB", which means "if you can't do it then don't even criticize it".【example】"That person does not deserve the award.""You can you up."3、tuhaoChinese nouveau riche. New money, mostly not well spent.This word has become a punching bag on China's blogosphere for being the symbol of wasteful wealth and unrefined taste.4、gelivableadj. A Chinglish word, be able to excite, make someone feel cheerful. ge- in Chinese means give, li- means power, strength or energy.【example】1. Wow, China overtakes Japan as world's second-biggest economy, it is so gelivable!2.

It is a Chinese English word, just like "long time no see".【example】The parade is great, there is people mountain people sea.7、zhuangbilityIt's Chinese English. In Chinese, 'Zhuang' means 'play'. 'Bi' is 'pussy' in English. Literally 'zhuangbility' means 'to play pussy' or 'state or action of playing pussy'.Zhuangbility means 'to boast' or somewhat in English.8、niubilityIt's a Chinglish. In Chinese Niu means cow,which also means that someone is very capable. Bi (pronunciation Bee), which is used to refer a person rudely, means pussy or fomally genital.9、shability'Sha' means 'silly' in Chinese. 'Bi' means 'pussy' in Chinese. 'A silly pussy' means 'a fool' or 'a person that makes everything worse'.【example】Many people think they are full of niubility, and like to play zhuangbility, which only reflect their shability.

If animals dream like us, where do they go in their slumber? Jason G Goldman explores how we can peer into the minds of sleeping cats, birds and other creatures."Almost all other animals are clearly observed to partake in sleep, whether they are aquatic, aerial, or terrestrial," wrote Aristotle in his workOn Sleep and Sleeplessness. But do other animals dream? On that the Greek philosopher also had an opinion. In The History of Animals, he wrote: "It would appear that not only do men dream, but horses also, and dogs, and oxen; aye, and sheep, and goats, and all viviparous quadrupeds; and dogs show their dreaming by barking in their sleep." His research methods may lack sophistication, but Aristotle may not have been too far off the mark.We certainly can't ask animals if they dream, but we can at least observe the evidence that they might. There are two ways in which scientists have gone about this seemingly impossible task. One is to look at their physical behaviour during the various phases of the sleep cycle. The second is to see whether their sleeping brains work similarly to our own sleeping brains.The story of how we worked out how to peer into the minds of sleeping animals begins in the 1960s. Back then, scattered reports began to appear in medical journals describing people acting out movements in their dreams. This was curious, because during so-called REM sleep (rapid eye movement), our muscles are usually paralysed.Researchers realised that inducing a similar state in animals could allow them to probe how they dream. In 1965, French scientists Michel Jouvet and J F Delorme found that removing a part of the brainstem, called the pons, from a cat's brain prevented it becoming paralysed when in REM. The researchers called the condition "REM without atonia" or REM-A. Instead of lying still, the cats walked around and behaved aggressively.This hinted they were dreaming of activities from their waking hours. And studies since have revealed similar behaviour. According to veterinary neurologist Adrian Morrison, who has written a review of this research, cats in REM-A will move their heads as if following stimuli. Some cats also show behaviour identical to predatory attacks, as if they were chasing mice in their dreams. Similar dream activity has been seen in dogs.Some humans have been found to ‘act out’ their dreams too – if they suffer from a condition called REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder. "Punching, kicking, leaping, and running from the bed during attempted dream enactment are frequent manifestations and usually correlate with the reported imagery," according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD). Injuries are common among these people and those sleeping with them, the ICSD adds.Physical movement is not the only way of peering into dreams, though. Researchers can now humanely peer into the electrical and chemical activities of brain cells in animals while they sleep. In 2007, MIT scientists Kenway Louise and Matthew Wilson recorded the activity of neurons in a part of the rat brain called the hippocampus, a structure known to be involved in the formation and encoding of memories. They first recorded the activity of those brain cells while the rats ran in their mazes. Then they looked at the activity of the very same neurons while they slept. Louise and Wilson discovered identical patterns of firing during running and during REM. In other words, it was as if the rats were running the maze in their minds while they were snoozing. The results were so clear that the researchers could infer the rats' precise location within their mental dream mazes and map them to actual spots within the actual maze.University of Chicago biologists Amish Dave and Daniel Margoliashlooked into the brains of zebra finches and discovered something similar. These birds are not born with the melodies of their songs hardwired into the brains; instead, they have to learn to sing their songs. When they're awake, the neurons in part of the finches' forebrain called the robutus archistriatalis fire following their singing of particular notes. Researchers can determine which note was sung based on the firing patterns of those neurons. By piecing together the electrical patterns in those neurons over time, Dave and Margoliash can reconstruct the entire song from start to finish.Later, when the birds were asleep, Dave and Margoliash looked again at the electrical activity in that part of their brains. The firing of those neurons wasn't entirely random. Instead, the neurons fired in order, as if the bird was audibly singing the song, note for note. It might be said that the zebra finches were practising their songs while they slumbered.Does the behaviour of cats in science experiments actually qualify as dreaming? Do rats have any subjective awareness that they're running their mazes in their minds while they nap? Do the songbirds realise that they're singing in their sleep? These questions are as hard to answer as the question of consciousness. It's tricky. We humans do not usually realise we're dreaming while we're dreaming, but it becomes clear as soon as we wake up. Do zebra finches remember their dreams as dreamswhen they're shaken out of their sleep? Can they distinguish the real world from the one in their dreams? We can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that the physiological and behavioural features of dreaming in humans have now been observed in cats, rats, birds, and other animals. Yet what it’s actually like to experience a dream if you’re not human remains a mystery.

recently , i am playing my guitar. i write one song , there is lyrics , melody , but not finished yet, so every day when i have time , i will do more practice , i tell myself , u can not give it up so easily , let's sing ..
