在2004年的圣诞节前夜,graham给8a.nu网站寄了一封信。
i'm not talking about dressing up or staying in fashion (although i highly suggest it), and this is not a diatribe on how casual fridays and t-shirts represent the decline of western civilization.
我不是说我们必须盛装打扮或者赶上潮流(尽管我大力推荐这样做),也不是对如今休閑服装和t恤衫如何代表了西方文明衰落的一种诽谤。
but then mr chávez launched a diatribe against colombia and mr obama.
但查韦斯偏不给面子,马上就对哥伦比亚和奥巴马发表了猛烈抨击。
