"Here is a story that is kind of perplexing: 221 years ago, George Washington went to the library here in New York, took out some books, never returned them. 221 years of overdue library fines. I tell you something, ladies and gentlemen, if you want to blame this economic crisis on a president, what about that guy?" –David Letterman

221年前，乔治华盛顿来到纽约，借了几本书，一直没还，221年的欠费啊，同志们，如果非要总统为经济危机负责的话，算在他头上吧。

"The Senate held hearings on what role Goldman Sachs played in the mortgage meltdown of 2008. They allegedly sold bad mortgages to their clients and then bet against them to make profits for themselves. I think that’s what the ‘American Idol’ judges are doing to us this season with these crappy singers." –Jimmy Kimmel

参议院举行听证会，关于高盛在08年次贷危机中扮演的角色：高盛卖给客户质量差的抵押贷款，然后投注他们会搞砸，再赚一笔。我怎么觉得这有点像《美国偶像》的评委对我们干的事呢：让一群蹩脚的歌手晋级。

上海世博会如火如荼，但有的场馆火爆有的冷清，为了平衡流量，冷清的场馆前大屏幕开始播放《非诚勿扰》，火爆的场馆前播放《新闻联播》。—Jeff
