無意中在U2B找到這個視頻，張曼玉談表演和版權問題。非常優雅的英式英語，一如往常的淡定，很有智慧的發言，恐怕大陸娛樂圈無人能出其左右。U2B的自動字幕太坑爹，本人人肉聽寫，感謝團團提供修正幫助。

Nothing new under the sun from The Economist

Some dictators may have fallen, but human-rights abuses continue

THE world really can become a better place—that seemed to be the belief of the protesters who have thronged streets in the Middle East. Sadly, those who spoke this week at the Oslo Freedom Forum, a glittering gathering of veterans of human-rights struggles, instead attested to the wisdom of Ecclesiastes: “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done.” 閱讀全文
