I went to see Avatar at the cinema on Friday night! I think that it is the first movie that has been totally hyped beyond recognition, then when I went to see it finally surpassed all of my expectations!

上周五晚上我去看了电影阿凡达！我觉得这是第一部被炒得那么过分可以在我看了以后，仍然觉得超过了我期望的片子！

It seems like James Cameron really has the magic touch when it comes to movies and the box office – I can’t believe that people have said that Avatar is going to take $1 billion dollars before it’s done. Just send me 1% of that. Or 0.1%. Or 0.01%. I’ll be happy. Thanks!

看来James Cameron涉及到电影和票房的时候，确实很有魔力 – 我很难相信人们说的阿凡达创下了10亿美元票房。只要给我它的1％。或0.1％。或0.01％。我就会开心死了。谢谢！

Avatar quotes

Avatar is a really long movie but when it finished it felt like I’d just sat down – I think that’s a positive thing. One non-positive thing is that I drank three beers during it and so I was really REALLY bursting for a piss when it finished. This might have led to me forgetting what happened during the last thirty minutes of the movie because of the rush of blood to my head. That’s a good reason to watch it again though!

阿凡达是一个很长的电影，但是它结束的时候会感觉就像刚坐下来的一样 – 我认为这是好的一面。不太好的是，看的时候我喝了3罐啤酒，所以我真的憋死了。这可能导致我忘了电影最后30分钟放了些什么，因为血液都冲到脑子里去了。这也是一个很好的，再看一次的理由！

Avatar quotes

阿凡达台词

Anyway, I thought that the special effects were amazing, the story was great and the acting was brilliant – and if you’ve seen it too then check out Avatar quotes for a catch-up on some of the best lines – there were a lot!

不管怎样，我觉得那些特效都太棒了，不错的情节，精湛的演出 – 如果你也已经看过了，那么快追看一些里面的经典对白吧 – 有很多！

I see you!
我看到你！

I don’t know how it happened, but reports suggest that the first decade of the second millennium is about to finish. Crazy! I spent a year in France, two years in China, two years in Warwick University and five years in London – it all seems a bit of a blur! Some things, however, have been constant: Movies, music, video games, my computer and watching TV series. And booze.

不知道搞什么鬼，报道说第二个千年的第一个十年地球就要毁灭了。大概疯了！过去我花了1年待在法国，2年在中国，2年在英国Warwick大学，还有5年在伦敦 – 到现在很多记忆都已经有些模糊了！不过有些事情还是一如既往的，比如：看电影，听音乐，打游戏，操电脑和看电视连续剧。以及喝酒。

With this in mind I want to present to you my awards for the ‘Best of the decade…’, in various categories. Some may be obvious, some controversial, some a bit stupid…but so be it.

想到这里，我想让你看看我给这些不同类别颁发的’十年度最佳…’奖项。有些可能是显而易见的，有些会有争议，有些有点愚蠢…但本来就是这样。

I also invite you to put your own nominations in the comments in each category! Just copy and paste this in to the box before you type:

在这里我也希望你在回复里为每个类别写下你自己的提名！只要把这个复制黏贴到方框里：

Best movie of the decade – Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000)

十年度最佳电影-猪头，我的车咧？（2000）

Ok this might be a controversial choice, but hear me out. People often like films because of the atmosphere in which they first enjoyed them, and I think I’ve watched this movie more times than any other, with more close friends, in more places…and each time I never got bored or stopped half-way through. It’s the ultimate brainless dude comedy – and I love it.

这个答案确是会有争议，可是请听我说完先。人们喜欢电影的原因是因为很享受第一次看的时候的那种气氛。这个电影我看的次数比什么都多，和好朋友看，在很多不一样的地方看…每次看我都不觉得无聊或者看到一半不看了。我想这是最不用大脑的喜剧了 – 我喜欢它。

Best album of the decade – Jay-Z – The Blueprint (2001)

十年度最佳唱片-Jay-Z The Blueprint (2001)

The best rapper alive, the best beats, the best lyrics, the best mixture of radio / club / fight music ever put together. No need for guests (except Eminem, who compliments the mood perfectly), just hot hot hot music!

尚在人间的最棒的说唱歌手，最棒的节奏，最好的歌词，最佳的广播/舞厅/打斗音乐的混合。无需观众（除了赞美到位的阿姆），只是很棒的音乐！

Best drink of the decade – Captain Morgan and Coke

十年度最佳饮品-摩根船长加可乐

Also known as ‘WoW juice’ or ‘PVP fuel’, the sickly sweet and alchoholically potent brew is what hazed my mind for approximately three years and helped me develop (at age 25) an almost-immunity to alchohol. Good times. Three – glorious – years. (A close second is the Raspberry Mojito).

也称’WoW果汁’或’PVP fuel’，怪怪的甜味和烈性酒精调配而成，让我的大脑晕眩了将近3年并且帮我发展成（在25岁）几乎能免疫酒精。好时光啊。三个 – 辉煌 – 年。 （紧随其后的是Raspberry Mojito）。

Best website of the decade – Facebook (2004 – Present)

十年度最佳网站-Facebook (2004-至今)

After I left University in 2003, I became addicted to using Friendster and then Myspace. They were so refreshing – a new way to chat with and meet people from ANYWHERE in the world, almost instantly. They were fun for a long time, but both sites suffered from their own popularity and eventually became too full of flash widgets and glitter graphics. Facebook changed social networking by taking it back to its essence – communication. Now five (real) years on, it’s still #1 FOR A REASON!

2003年我离开大学，我开始沉迷于Friendster和Myspace。他们是那么新鲜——一种全新的快速的方式与世界各地的人交流和会面。我沉迷其中很长一段时间，但它们最终都由于过高的网站知名度，接受了过多的Flash和图片而遭殃。Facebook利用本质改变了网络社交 – 沟通。现在已经5（真的）年了，它仍然是最棒的！

Best PC game of the decade – World of Warcraft (2004 – Present)

十年度最佳电脑游戏-魔兽世界（2004-至今）

What can I say? It’s so good that you think about it all of them time. I mean…all of the time. Like when you’re at work. When you’re in bed. When you’re working in bed. When you’re in bed at work. All the time. If you play WoW and can control yourself, congratulations! If you’re in remission like me, just remember the good times…

我能说什么？它好得让你无时无刻不想着它。我是说，无时无刻。比如你在工作的时候，你在床上的时候，你工作在床上的时候，你在床上工作的时候。所有的时间。如果你打魔兽并且能控制好自己，那恭喜你了！如果你像我一样没缓过来，却只是记得那些美丽时光…

Best Console game of the decade – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 (Playstation) (2000)

十年度最佳家庭电视游戏机-托尼霍克专业滑板 2（游戏站）（2000）

When I lived in Leamington Spa, I played THPS2. The first game I ever queued up for (and got a free mini-skateboard for it!), it was (and still is) infinitely replayable. So, so good – it made me fall in love with a sport that I have still never tried (and probably never will).

当我住在Leamington Spa的时候我就玩THPS2了。我第一次排队打的游戏（还免费获得了一个迷你滑板！）是可以（现在仍然是）无限次重复打的。非常非常棒 – 它让我爱上了这个运动，我从没玩过的（而且可能永远也不会）。

Best TV show of the decade – The Wire (2002 – 2008)

十年度最佳电视剧-线人（2002-2008）

If you haven’t seen The Wire, then you won’t be able to understand why it’s not just the best show of the decade, but the best show ever. If you have seen it, you also know that every TV show you watch now is measured against it – and none of them measure up.

如果你还没看线人，那么你无法理解为什么这个片子不仅是十年度最佳电视剧，而且永远都是最棒的。如果你看过，你也应该知道你现在所看的电视剧都没法跟这个比-没一个达标的。

Now, it’s your turn! Write your nominations for the best of the decade in the comments!

As everyone (else) seems to know, Hunan TV is famous for producing HIGH QUALITY dramas and entertainment shows which are enjoyed across China. Rumour has it (Kaixin001 is where I get my gossip) that a Hunan satellite TV station is remaking (one of) the best TV shows in recent history – Gossip Girl!

众所周知，湖南卫视在中国制作高质量电视剧和娱乐节目很有名。传闻（我在开心001上听说的）湖南卫视将翻拍最棒的电视剧（之一）-绯闻女孩！

The good news doesn’t stop there! Let’s have a look at the cast of the upcoming show, and see how they measure up to the originals! Should the casting director receive an oscar or THE SACK?

好消息还没说完！让我们来看看这个片子里会有谁，看看他们和原版人物相比怎么样！导演应该拿奥斯卡还是应该打包回家？

Who’s the best match? Who’s the worst? Will you watch it? Is Dan’s character now a woman? One thing is for sure – ‘little Jenny’ isn’t so ‘little’ anymore!

哪个最配？哪个最烂？你会看吗？饰演Dan的演员现在是个女人吗？一件事情是肯定的-‘little Jenny’不在那么小了！

At the moment, I’m web depressed. Youtube is still blocked in China, and I have produced, filmed and edited a film of two monkeys fighting…and I can’t share it using my favourite video site. Check out a ’still’ from the epic here:

我对此刻的网络很失望.Youtube在中国被屏蔽了,然而我制作拍摄编辑了一个关于两只猴子打架的电影…可是不能防到我最喜欢的视频网站上跟大家分享.大家在这里看一下’静止’的这个巨作吧:

Soon…soon…

The following is a post about my new mobile phone. Please read and then in the ‘COMMENTS’ section guess how much you think it cost! You can guess in any currency, I’ll work it out…

下面贴的就是我的新手机。请你看一下然后在‘评论’里猜一下要多少钱！你可以用各种货币来，我会算的。。。

So…I didn’t plan this…it just happened. I have a new phone! Actually it’s not a phone…it’s a whole new lifesyle…

我没有计划过。。。就是这样发生了。我有了一个新的手机。说是手机，事实上更象一种全新的生活方式。。。

Ok some backstory…we’ve been browsing Shanghai’s notorious ‘fake market’ (opposite 555 Nan Jing Xi Lu) for a couple of weeks now. I say notorious because the majority of the products they sell are…fake. That said, I suppose if you have a ‘fake market’ and sell ‘fake’ goods, then in effect you’re selling genuine goods…anyway…

说点背景故事先…我们已经逛了上海臭名昭著的’假货市场’(南京西路555号对面)好几周了.之所以说臭名昭著是因为那里卖的大部分东西都是…假的.如此说来,我以为一个’假货市场’卖的应该都是’假’货,可事实上,那里卖的都是些很棒的东西…不多说了…

Here’s what’s in the box. Phone, battery, spare battery, headphones/handsfree, usb cable, power adapter. So far, so normal. It is ‘dual sim’, so if you call either of my Chinese phone-numbers, it’ll ring. Nobody does ring them, however, but it’s nice to know that if they did, it would.

这是在盒子里的东西.电话,电池,备用电池,耳机,usb数据线，充电器。到这里还是比较正常的。它是‘双卡’的，就是说你打我两个里任意一个中国号码，它都会响。虽然没人打，但是知道如果有人这么做，它还会响，也是件好事。

Here’s how big it is. The PSP is an ‘original’ PSP (I think – if it makes a difference). As you can see, it is mostly screen (touchscreen – the stylus plugs in to the side), with a small ‘joypad’ style button next to the numbers.

你看它有多大。这是一个‘正常的’PSP（我认为-可能有不同的）。正如你看到的，大部分都是屏幕（触摸屏-手写笔插在旁边），还有一个小的‘手柄‘一个的键在数字键旁边。

It’s not too thick really, around 10mm.

它真的不是很厚，大概10毫米。

Here’s the back. Some ‘interesting’ writing on it…oh…what’s that you say? YEAH MOFO! It says TV!

这是背面。有一些‘有趣‘的字在上面。。。噢。。。你说什么？对！那是电视！

It plays TV programmes! Like…5 channels! Minimum! Depending on where you are, you can get different ones. As you can see from the video, it’s also got a little stand which you can use when you wanna watch it but not hold it in your hand…why anyone would need their hands free when watching TV is beyond me…

它可以播放电视节目！差不多。。。5个频道！至少！你在不一样的地方，可以收到不同的节目。从视频可以看出，它可以站立，你想看的时候就不用握在手里。。。我真不知道为什么有人看电视的时候要空出手。。。

You can also record from the TV! Although I’m not sure what you’d want to record…but still…good to know right? RIGHT?! It plays movies, mp3s, photos etc…and when you turn the screen around, it rotates the aspect of the picture (like those new iPod nanos).

你可以录下电视节目！虽然我不确定你是不是想录。。。但是。。知道也没有坏处，对吗？它还可以播放电影，mp3等，图片等等。。。而且当你转屏幕的时候，图片也会跟着旋转角度（就像那些新的ipod nano一样）。

It has character input (ok my hand was shaky) as well as the normal T9 dictionaries for loads of different languages (including Turkish! Holla!). You can also change the speed that the input ‘accepts’ each stroke, so no more ‘halfway-through-a-character-then-it-guesses-the-wrong-one’ problems. I know everyone has those.

它还有汉字输入法（我的手在抖）和普通的T9词典包括很多不同语言（还有土耳其语！）。你还可以改变它接受每个笔画的速度，就不会出现你输到一半出来一个错误的字的问题了。我知道大家都有这个。

It also has an extremely (uncomfortably) loud MP3/radio player (which I keep accidently setting off on the bus). Ah well…they hate me coz they ain’t me…

它还有一个非常（不舒服的）响的mp3/收音机播放器（我在公车上需要故意把这个设置为关闭）

Now here’s the game…how much was this sexy piece of kit? Put your guess in the COMMENTS!

And no cheating…if you know the answer, don’t spoil it for everyone else!!!

好了，游戏开始。。。猜一下这块性感的小东西多少钱？把你的答案写在评论里！

不能作弊。。。如果你知道答案，不许告诉其他人！

Ok well if you’ve seen Donnie Darko then you’ll know how I’m feeling right now…what a strange film! I think I think it’s really good but I’ll either have to watch it again or think about it more before I come up with what I *actually* think…Right? *Somebody* told me today they thought it was a chick-flick…I hope they were taking the piss…
