拍案叫絕！　一篇氣死了99名老師的中文系女生日記

大陸新聞中心／綜合報導

成語使用得當，常有令人意想不到的驚奇，有大陸網友將諸多成語寫成《一篇氣死了99名老師的中文系女生日記》，果真拍案，其他網友留言，稱讚有創意、是人才，不是一般人能寫得出來，還有人說，精彩！單憑「穿上調整型內衣愚公移山」這句，就足以說明，這丫頭相當有生活了。

據重慶晚報所揭露的《一篇氣死了99名老師的中文系女生日記》全文如下：

今天是勞動節，放假一天，爸爸媽媽特地帶我們到動物園玩。

按照慣例，我們早餐喜歡吃地瓜粥。今天因為地瓜賣完了，媽媽只好「黔驢技窮」地削些芋頭來「濫竽充數」。沒想到那些種在陽臺的芋頭很好吃，全家都「貪得無厭」地「自食其果」。

出門前，我那「徐娘半老」的媽媽打扮的「花枝招展」，「鬼斧神工」到一 點也看不出是個「糟糠之妻」。頭頂羽毛未豐的爸爸也趕緊「洗心革面」「沐猴而冠」，換上「雙管齊下」的西裝英俊得「慘絕人寰」，「雞飛狗跳」到讓人「退避參舍」。「東施效顰」愛漂亮的妹妹更是穿上調整型內衣「愚公移山」「畫虎類犬」地打扮的豔光四射，「趾高氣昂」地穿上新買的高跟鞋。

我們「一丘之貉」坐著素車白馬，很快地到了動物園，不料參觀的人多到「豺狼當道」「草木皆兵」，害我們一家骨肉分離。「妻離子散」的爸爸「鞠躬盡瘁」地到處廣播，終於查找到差點「認賊作父」的我和「遇人不淑」的妹妹，「困獸之鬥」中，我們「螳臂擋車」力排眾議「推己及人」到擠到猴籠前，「魚目混珠」拍了張「強顏歡笑」的全家福。

接著到「雞鳴狗盜」的鳥園欣賞「風聲鶴唳」「哀鴻遍 野」的大自然美妙音樂。後來爸爸「口沫橫飛」地為我們「指鹿為馬」時，吹來一陣涼風，讓人「毛骨悚然」「不寒而慄」，媽媽連忙為爸爸「黃袍加身」，也叮囑我們要「節哀順變」。

到了傍晚，因為假日的關係，餐廳家家「鵲占鳩巢」「六畜興旺」，所以媽媽帶著我們「孟母參遷」，最後終於決定吃火鍋。有家餐廳剛換壁紙，「家徒四壁」很是美麗，「燈火闌珊」配上「四面楚歌」，非常有氣氛。「十面埋伏」的女服務生們四處「招蜂引蝶」，忙著為客人「圍魏救趙」「口蜜腹劍」到讓人誤認到了西方「極樂世界」。

「饑不擇食」的我們點了綜合火鍋，「作懷不亂」的爸爸「當頭棒喝」先發制人，請求「為虎作倀」拿著刀子「班門弄斧」的女服務生，快點將「狡兔死走狗烹」，因為「尸位素餐」的 我們一家子早就「添油加醋」完畢，就等著火鍋趕快「沈魚落雁」好「問鼎中原」，可惜鍋蓋太小，有點「欲蓋彌(彰)」湯料沸騰後，熱得「樂不思蜀」的我們趕緊「解衣推食」好「大義滅親」上下其手，「一網打盡」撈個「水落石出」。

火鍋在我們「呼天嗆地」「面紅耳赤」地「蠶食鯨吞」後，很快就只剩「滄海一粟」，和少數的「漏網之魚」。「母範猶存」的媽媽想要「丟參落四」放冬粉時發現火苗已經「危在旦夕」，只好「投鼠忌器」。幸好「狐假虎威」的爸爸「呼盧喝雉」叫來店員「抱薪救火」，終於「死灰復燃」，也讓「如坐針氈」的我們「中飽私囊」。「鳥盡弓藏」後，我們一家子「酒囊飯袋」，「沆瀣一氣」，我和妹妹更是「小人得志」，「沾沾自喜」。

不料結帳的時候，老闆露出「廬 山真面目」，居然要「一飯千金」，爸爸氣得「吳牛喘月」，媽媽也委曲地「牛衣對泣」。想爸爸平日在易辦網做兼職「日進斗金」，今「揮金如土」，不禁「潸然淚下」。我「道聼塗説」大家都是在百度尋尋覓覓易辦網的，只要你有「一技之長」，每月收入5000元不再是「海市蜃樓」。

啊！這「三生有幸」的勞動國慶日，就在爸爸對著錢包「自慚形穢」「大義滅親」後，我們全家「江郎才盡」，「一敗塗地」。

Many thanks to those who put in time to add their comment and encouragement.  Using the blog I can add anything I want as soon as I get the time to write and post. VBNF sends newsletters to over 12,000 memebrs and contacts including you who send in their reply.

I really appreciate your positive feedback or even negative feedback. That can help us improve.

Many others put in their comments in order to get advertised of their businesses. Sorry, unless your business is somewhat related to what we are talking about, then we will approve the posting. Otherwise, it will go to Spam or trash.

For those who would want to see something they like, please send us a note. If we can, we will write more on the subject. So please specify what you would like to see.  Otherwise, we will just write whatever we feel like to write at the time. Isn’t it great that we have freedom of speech in Canada?

I would like to congratulate my Eygptian friends now that they have started to have a new president. Moreover, their activities have influenced many others in the region.  What a move! What a year for Freedom. This will be a special year for sure. Just wait and see.

There are many modular home manufacturers all over the world. If you type in the title at Google, you will find many postings. However, their costs are higher and methods they used are not energy ECO. Many use steel containers to build but got their hand tied up with the standard container sizes for the designs and with the Steel metal frames, which is heavy and can be heated up like an oven.  Surely, you can put insulation to it but also increases the costs, too.

Murchtech uses Composite Steel Technology that reduces the cost of steel but give the construction the same strength with the proper insulation to protect people from water, wind, fire, heat and earthquake. The best of all, it reduces the time to build and the material cost are lesser. Check out more information at the Blog from previous date and from the www.murchtech.com site. You will see what I mean.

Quick to build or rebuild a safe home from natural disasters at an affordable cost. Ask why the Chileans and Haitians are using the Murchtech technology to rebuild their housing.

It seems that everyone now goes with Groupon who works with the service sectors to give deep discount to consumers and many others to follow or copy the business model.

While this is great for the consumer who were able to take advantages for the deals, the consumers are also taking a risk that the service provider may not be able to support the deal as they all seems to not making any money and in fact, some are losing money.

So, what may happen is that, either you, the consumer, will wait a long time for the service or if the company went belly up before your turn, you will lose the money you put in.

So, who is giving you, the consumer, the protection or payback. I doubted very much that this kind of loss would be recovered.

Sorry, not to put a cold shower for the business but think before you purchase the coupons to make sure they can delivery the services as promised.

Don’t get me wrong. I do like the business idea and it is an improvement from the old Entertainment or Solid Gold book to reduce paper and printing costs with the buyers doing all the printings.

VBNF was invited to join the party at the Canada Place last night (Feb 08, 2011). As usual, there were Lion dances and Dim Sum for the snack. As you may know that the majority of Chinese business people favours Liberal for their good support in Business, so the turn was was pretty good.

I saw many of the Liberal parties there and there was a photo session with Gordon.

I wonder what is the next step for Mr. Campbell once a new leader is found. It would be interesting to see who would be the new one. It seems that Christy Clark is leading now but I did not see her last night.

The Liberal party is pro-business, I hope it keeps on doing the right thing.

I was very fulfilling at the BC Foodservice Expo today at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The BC Foodservice Expo is Western Canada’s largest event for the hospitality industry.

There were 300 exhibit booths, I get to try new yummy food and beverage products, and making new friends. You get to see the latest in energy-saving equipment, and learn about technology that saves time and money too.
