闭门造车 (bì mén zào chē )-Learn Chinese idiom

In ancient times, there was a man who wanted to make a fine cart. But, instead of learning how to do it form experts, he shut shimself up at home and worked at it. Despite the time and effort he spent on it, the cart was useless. This chinese idiom means to make a cart behind closed doors or to work behind closed doors; divorce oneself from the masses and from reality; act blindly. It is also used metahhorically to mean being too subjective and disregrading the rest of the world.

古时候，有个人想造一辆很精巧的车子。他不去学习别人制造车子的实际经验，却把自己关在家里冥思苦想。费了很多功夫，车子虽然造好了，但是推出去却 不能使用。至于我们现在所说的“闭门造车”，则是形容不顾实际，也不吸取别人的经验，一味主观地杜撰瞎造的意思，好比关起门来在家里制造车子，而完全不考 虑门外的实际情况和实际需要，结果就不合规格，不能适用。

闭门造车 (bì mén zào chē )
【翻译】To build a cart behind closed doors.
【释义】关起门来造车子。比喻脱离实际，只凭主观办事。
【例句】正所谓天外有天,人外有人,与其自己闭门造车,不如让大家来帮我们一起想。
【近义词】拒谏饰非、独断专行
【反义词】集思广益、群策群力

Stop KFC from continuing cruel treatment- Video

KFC suppliers cram birds into huge waste-filled factories, breed and drug them to grow so large that they can’t even walk, and often break their wings and legs. At slaughter, the birds’ throats are slit and they are dropped into tanks of scalding-hot water—often while they are still conscious. It would be illegal for KFC to abuse dogs, cats, pigs, or cows in these ways.

KFC’s own animal welfare advisors have asked the company to take steps to eliminate these abuses, but KFC refuses to do so. Many advisors have now resigned in frustration.

An campaign website (kentuckyfriedcruelty.com), a spoof of the original KFC website, provides all the information needed to support this cause.

Lisa's Giant iPhone

On October 30th, iPhone officially launched in China with the China Unicom network. Most of my friends have been using a the unofficial grey phone for about two years so it’s not really that new in China. My friends bought theirs in the US or HK but you can also buy it Beijing if you know where to go.

The official phones start at around RMB 4,999 and go up to RMB 6,999 for the top of the range 3GS 32 GB version. The phones are way more expensive than what they cost in the US and don’t even have Wi-FI, so I would rather wait till next year for the new batch to arrive. The Apple store was pretty busy with a lot of interest in the phone.

But considering the price and lack of WI-FI , I wonder how successful it will really be. They had these cool extra large iPhones displays in the window, so Lisa pretended she was playing on the phone.
