Brian：u know, I have been trying to contact u as much as I can(我想方设法联系你) and I even hope that u can show up there in the icq but u seem just sort of evaporate(蒸发) from the earth, I even thought of the worst about u, the only thing that I know about u is that u are living in nyc(你住在纽约，我还以为你也....)

　　Nikky：thank u, my friend, I am just ok, I am here and I show up to tell u that I am the same but just believe that the whole Americans want to know what the hell is going on here, what have we done, is this a retribution(报偿)?

　　Brian：I don't want to say anything, I just want u know that in China, Chinese was shocked by the deadly attack as well(我们中国人也感到震惊), u know, more than 5,000 lives were ended by evil(5000多条生命就这样没了，<后来经统计是3100多人>)

　　Nikky：well, they are elites(精英) from all works of life in the world.

　　Brian：yeah, they are elite, A lot of people in the financial business, stock brokers, insurance forms (都是一些金融、证券和保险公司)and a whole lot of people lost their entire companies, including some Chinese companies and Chinese people as well, the news in the yahoo! just brought up the names of companies in the wtc, I can see a lot of Chinese forms(网上已经公布了世贸大楼里的公司，有很多是中国公司).

　　Nikky：that's just one man stood up, he was Afghanistan

　　Brian：and Taliban

　　Nikky：yeah

　　Brian：the Afghanistan and the Taliban are the most frequently searched words nowadays in the mainly Chinese web site, probably in the world web site too(阿富汗和塔利班现在是热门搜索词汇)

　　Nikky：I still don't understand what happened, it's just like a nightmare, u know, Brian, we don't want war, but it just like the novel or some movie, but ----(这种事情一般在小说或者电影里出现的)

　　Brian：yeah, it reminds a lot of people what's going on to the America's naval and air base----u know that----the Pearl Harbor(珍珠港) , probably one of the most successful surprise attacks(突然袭击) in the history of modern warfare(战争).

　　Nikky：I was not ever born but it's the largest humiliation in the American history, and the aircraft carriers helped them a lot(我那时还没出生呢，航空母舰起了很大作用)

　　Brian：the American forces were so surprised that they were, how to say, they were unable to fight like what they used to do, but in just half an hour, everything had changed, that's what I told u that I do NOT like the Japanese guys.

　　Nikky：this time, was different, u know, the Pearl Harbor, we can see it in the film, the Vietnams War, we can have the novel about it, it's something we can not control

　　Brian：and a great deal of pain(巨大创痛)maybe it just diversity(文化不同带来的冲击)

　　Nikky：no, it's not, it's not the diversity, it's hatred(仇恨) , it's surely the hatred which can not simply defined as some culture or religion(宗教) like that. (注：美国人认为这是一种不可以用文化不同来定义的，也不是用宗教就能解释了的)

　　Brian的小结：很多好的用法要记住：

　　His promise evaporates like dew in July(他的誓言就象7月的露水一样蒸发的无影无踪)

　　It's just like a nightmare, u know, Brian, we don't want war, but it just like the novel or some movie, but ----(这种事情一般在小说或者电影里出现的)

　　China doesn't have a aircraft carrier ourselves(中国现在还没有一艘属于自己的航空母舰）
