他们面带愧色

　　我这里说的爱情也许让一些读者失望，但是当我说完这个后，相信也有一些读者会感到一丝震动 。
　　话说20世纪70年代，我们香椿树街有一对老夫妇,polo ralph lauren discount，当年是六七十岁的样子。身材高挑，白皮肤，大眼睛，看得出来年轻时候是个美人；丈夫虽然长得不丑，但是一 个矮子。他们出现在街上，乍一看，不配，仔细一看，却是天造地设的一对。为什么这么说呢？这对老夫妻彼此之 间是镜子，除了性别不同，他们的眼神相似，甚至两人脸上的黑痣，一个在左脸颊，一个在右脸颊，也是配合得天 衣无缝。他们到煤店买煤，一只箩筐,polo ralph lauren，一根扁担，丈夫在前面，在后面，这与别人家夫妇抬煤的位置不同。没有办法，不是他们别出心裁，是因为丈夫 矮，力气小，做妻子的反串了男角。
　　这是一个星期天的下午，女儿在外面“嘭嘭嘭”敲门，里面立即响起一阵杂沓的脚步声，老夫妇同时出现在门 边，两张苍老而欢乐的笑脸，笑起来两个人的嘴角居然都向右边歪着。
　　但女儿回家不是来向父母微笑的，她的任务似乎是埋怨和教训她的双亲。她高声地列举出父母所干的糊涂事， 包括拖把在地板上留下太多的积水，包括他们对孩子的溺爱，给他吃得太多,franklin marshall，穿得也太多。她一边喝着给她做的红枣汤，一边说：“唉，对你们说了多少遍也没用,polo ralph lauren homme，我看你们是老糊涂了。”
　　老夫妻一听，忙走过去给外孙脱去多余的衣服，他们面带愧色,nike mercurial，不敢争辩，似乎默认这么一个事实，他们是老了,franklin et marshall，是有点老糊涂了。
　　过一会儿，那老妇人收拾着汤碗，突然捂着胸口，猝然倒了下来，死了，据说死因是心肌梗死。死者人缘好， 邻居们听说了都去吊唁。他们看见平时不太孝顺的女儿这会儿哭成泪人儿了，都不觉奇怪，这么好的母亲死了，她 不哭才奇怪呢！他们奇怪的是那老头，他面无表情，坐在亡妻的身边，看上去很平静。外孙不懂事，就问：“外公 ，你怎么不哭？”
　　老人说：“外公不会哭。外婆死了，外公也会死的，外公今天也会死的。”
　　孩子说：“你骗人，你什么病也没有，不会死的。”
　　老人摇摇头，说：“外公不骗人，外公今天也要死了。你看外婆临死不肯闭眼，她丢不下我，我也丢不下她。 我要陪着你外婆哩。”
　　大人们听了老人的话，都多了个心眼儿，小心地看着他。但老人并没有任何自寻短见的端倪，他一直静静地守 在亡妻的身边，坐在一张椅子上。夜深了，守夜的人们听见老人喉咙里响了一阵痰声，未及人们做出反应，老人就 歪倒在亡妻的灵床下面了。这时就听见堂屋自鸣钟“当当当”连着响了起来，人们一看，正是夜里1 2点！
　　正如宣布的那样，那矮个子的老人心想事成，陪着妻子一起去了。如果不是人们亲眼看见，谁会相信这样的事 情？但这个故事是真实的，那对生死相守的老人确有其人，他们是我的邻居，死于20世纪70年代末的同一个夜 晚。那座老自鸣钟后来就定格在12点，犹如生了锈一样，任人们怎么拨转就是一动也不动,franklin and marshall。
　　这个故事叙述起来就这么简单，不知道你怎么看，我一直认为这是我一生能说的最动人的爱情故 事。

About two weeks after China's Ministry of National Defense confirmed its program to refurbish an ex-Soviet aircraft carrier, the still unfinished vessel commenced its maiden sea trial on Wednesday morning from Dalian of northeast Liaoning Province where the carrier was docked.
While some neighboring countries have expressed concern over the growth of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy, such as Japan's most recent defense white paper, Peter Singer, a senior fellow in foreign policy at the Washington-based Brookings Institution, told Xinhua that he didn't believe the Chinese carrier was a source that could worsen the current situation in the Asia-Pacific region.
"One should not be surprised that China, whose military and economic power has grown immensely over the last decades, would want to join the 'carrier club' along with states like the US, UK, Brazil, India, France," Singer said in an email.
It's an understandable ambition from a strategic and national prestige standpoint for China to develop aircraft carrier, he said.
Currently, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Spain, Italy, India, Brazil and Thailand, operate a total of 21 active-service aircraft carriers.
Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force currently has two 18,000-metric ton Hyuga-class helicopter carriers, although the warships are classified by Japan as "helicopter destroyers."
Once the still-unnamed carrier is delivered to the PLA Navy, China will be the last among the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council to possess an aircraft carrier.
The Asia-Pacific is also an area where aircraft carriers frequently cruise. The nuclear-powered supercarrier USS George Washington has been forward deployed at Japan's Yokosuka, and other U.S. carriers visit the area from time to time for military exercises, deterrence, as well as port calls and humanitarian aids.
"I don't think the carrier itself is a source of tension with the US," Singer said. "I think the greater sources of regional tension remain the behavior and unresolved maritime claims."
According to Singer, such sources include the conduct of the navies in the South China Sea and sea disputes between China and some of its neighboring states.
China signed an agreement with members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2002 at Cambodian capital Phnom Penh, which seeks regional stability by resolving disputes in the South China Sea in a peaceful way.
The agreement, Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, asked all concerned countries to maintain self-restraint and not to conduct activities that would complicate or escalate disputes such as inhabiting the uninhabited islands and reefs.
"Tensions between Japan, the Philippines or Vietnam were there before the carrier," Singer said, noting that China's neighboring countries may look at the carrier with some apprehension, but none should blame the carrier for tensions in the South China Sea.
Chinese military scholars told Xinhua that China's carrier program was for the sake of its own maritime interests.
"China's future aircraft carrier would only add stable factors to the Asia-Pacific region and the world peace," said Cao Weidong, a researcher of the PLA Navy's Academic Research Institute.
"Compared with the U.S. and other carrier-savvy navies, China is just a beginner in operating an aircraft carrier," Cao said.
To fuel its fast growing economy, China is increasingly reliant on natural resources imported through maritime transport routes from overseas.
The PLA Navy has deployed its task forces in rotation since the end of 2008 to the Gulf of Aden and waters off the coast of Somalia to escort Chinese and foreign merchant vessels transiting.
"We have learned from the escort missions and other operations, such as evacuating citizens from Libya, that an aircraft carrier is something that the navy needs," Cao said, adding that the weapon platform will also be a necessary tool for the country to safeguard territorial waters and maritime transport routes.
