牛年盼“牛”
欧洲时报社论
任时光流转，岁月变迁，新春的爆竹声与年味十足的饺子总能紧紧攫住身在异乡的华人的中国心。对中国人来说，春节意味着除旧迎新，意味着吉祥快乐，意味着否极泰来。特别是在这个特殊的年份，鼠年即将在全球金融海啸肆虐中落幕，2009年的牛年能“牛”转乾坤成为所有人的期盼。因为在中国人眼里，牛不但代表着吃苦耐劳，更代表了“牛”气冲天的吉祥喜庆。
回想即将过去的这个鼠年在中华大地发生的一切，旅欧华侨华人心中无不交织着酸甜苦辣、纠结着悲欢感动，因为在中国那吸引全球目光的亮色中，他们也是一道美丽的风景：从年初的罕见冰冻雨雪灾害到震惊全球的“5·12”汶川地震，华侨华人虽身在万里，但仍倾囊所有，始终与祖（籍）国血脉相连，可谓“同心”；三四月间，从拉萨骚乱到奥运火炬传递遭遇杯葛，华侨华人们又走上街头不遗余力地捍卫祖（籍）国的尊严，可谓“同德”；八月，北京奥运成为全球瞩目的焦点，九月，神舟七号飞船载着中国宇航员漫步太空，身在海外的华侨华人不但自豪骄傲，更一同狂欢，可谓“同喜”；年末之际，中共当局高调纪念改革开放30周年，海外华侨华人亦感受颇多，因为他们既贡献了自己的拳拳赤子情怀，又得益于改革开放30年中国的社会进步与地位提高，可谓“同舟共济”……在这风风雨雨中，海外华侨华人与祖（籍）国的心贴得更紧密。
诚然，一场席卷全球的经济危机，正让海外华侨华人和大陆同胞一同经受着严峻考验，尤其是华人从事的餐饮业与进出口贸易，受打击更甚，但正所谓“患难见真情”，背靠中国这棵日益茂盛、可遮风蔽雨的“大树”，大可放心乘凉：中国政府反复研究了保持经济增长的方式，宣布了规模达4万亿元人民币的经济刺激计划，实施了大幅降息和大学毕业生就业计划……中国驻法国使馆，也多次到华商中进行调研，了解他们的困难，及时为他们想办法、找出路。
在即将到来的牛年，或许，中国这个全球市场的新星能否率先走出金融危机的阴影还存在变数；或许，中国这个受世界瞩目的新兴大国能否引领世界经济复苏还充满挑战；或许，这个牛年并不比鼠年轻松多少……
但勤劳的中国人从来就不惧怕面对困难，他们在积贫积弱、一穷二白的旧中国上书写了一部经济史的传奇；华侨华人们更是怀揣着一个“中国梦”，一无所有地来到欧洲这片大陆，凭借勤奋、刻苦与不懈努力，从小做起，一步步建立起自己的事业大厦。百折不挠的顽强斗志是他们成功的标签。如今的困难比起当年，又算得了什么？
幽默的中国人在困难面前愈显乐观自信。他们用“财源滚滚（裁员滚滚）”、“招财进宝（遭裁禁饱）”、“心想事成（薪饷四成）”的黑色幽默自嘲金融危机下的自己，诙谐但绝不颓废；他们用“happy牛year”、“牛转乾坤”巧妙地对即将来到的牛年寄予厚望，尽显乐观向上；他们不受危机影响，仍去采购牛年台历、中国结、对联等商品，对今年“牛能压倒熊”充满信心。
聪明的中国人绝不会在危机中坐以待毙。他们或选择坚持，相信熬过寒冬就是春天；或转移视线回中国大陆发展，重新铸就自己事业的大厦；或进行产业的转型与升级，希望在“危”中求得“机会”……
值此新春，鼠去牛来，我们祝愿旅居欧洲的华侨华人们与居住国人民团结奋斗，共度时艰，一起迎接走出危机“牛气冲天”的一年。我们也希望目前陷入低潮的中法关系能大地回春，“牛转乾坤”。

Happy Chinese New Year 牛年 新年快樂

Chúc mừng Năm mới Kỷ Sửu
法中關係 到月亮上去不算太遠
到月亮上去不算太遠
踏入2009年，法中關係不只沒融雪跡象，且還越來越冰凍，連兩國建交45周年紀念竟也互不理睬，外交僵局不知伊於胡底，戴高樂將軍若能復生，目睹此情此景，定必感慨萬千！
回顧1964年1月27日戴高樂宣布法中建交，其時中華人民共和國遠非今日的貿易大國，且剛經歷三年困難期，餓死3500萬人，可說一窮二白，然而戴高樂基於對一個文明古老大國之尊敬，毅然向中國伸出友誼之手，戴高樂之不嫌寒微，情義之深，任何中國人實應銘記於心。
法國當年為建交之事，不惜挑戰美國對華的封鎖政策，氣得森姆大叔暴跳如雷，尤其詹森總統才剛走馬上任，碰上戴高樂引爆了當時被國際形容為“外交原子彈”的法中建交，心中極感不滿，副國務卿哈里曼對法國駐美大使阿爾方德說，戴高樂這一行動對法國沒有好處，對美國卻是對華政策之重創。
美國人說得不無道理，法國和中國建交殆無利益可言，得罪美國不說，且還引起其他西方國家的猛烈抨擊。當時戴高樂為安撫美國，曾透過駐美大使傳達願維持和中華民國關係之承諾，可是蔣介石比毛澤東更堅持一個中國原則，未幾單方面與法國斷交，位於巴黎喬治五世大道的使館從此拱手讓給中共。
法國首任駐京代辦克勞德沙耶（Claude Chayet）憶述指出，當時法國為建交之事確曾飽嘗千夫所指，甚至被斥為“西方世界的叛徒”（Une espèce de trahison du monde occidental），連關係最親近的義大利、西班牙等都不表諒解。
克勞德沙耶還指出，當年他追隨戴高樂左右，可從未聽到對方就建交之事提及利益一詞，即使長遠來說或有政治利益存在，但戴高樂也從來不談。可見得，法中當初建交非出於利益交換，而是奠基於兩個文明大國的惺惺相惜。
然而，如今躍身成為貿易大國的中國，卻動輒一手蘿卜，一手棍棒，以商業利益來達成施壓目標。前不久，外交部發言人劉建超針對薩達會提出嚴厲警告稱，法中兩國的戰略伙伴關係，是和經貿（利益）緊緊綁在一起的。北京今日動輒以利益來警告巴黎，殊非戴高樂當初所能想象得到的場景。
今年元旦過後，北京邀請華府賴斯赴訪，共同慶祝“乒乓外交”30周年，確實讓人備感諷刺，北京寧願冷落當年大膽提出建交的老朋友，反而興致勃勃去和當年從中作梗的森姆大叔玩起乒乓球！戴高樂若泉下有知，想必氣得整個跳起來。
中國人很欣賞戴高樂的一句名言：“到月亮上去不算太遠，我們要走的最大距離還是在我們之間。”斯言妙哉！今日以之形容的法中關係，真是最傳神不過了。

慶祝法中建交45周年？愛麗榭宮不玩了！
慶祝法中建交45周年？愛麗榭宮不玩了！
流行曲“愛你變成恨你”，應是今日法中關係冰凍之最佳寫照。日前愛麗榭宮發出緊急通知，原訂年初二舉行的法中建交45周年慶祝酒會，臨時取消，不玩了！兩國關係在走過45年的歲月，如今竟唱出“愛你變成恨你”之情傷曲子。
薩科茲確實欲借牛年春節，盛大慶祝法中建交45周年，以向北京表達修好之意。靈通消息還指出，薩科茲給胡錦濤寫了一封措詞美好的賀年信，重提戴高樂將軍當年主動和中華人民共和國建交之不朽史跡，希望法中秉承光榮傳統，各自邁出一步，重新出發，攜手共創世界新局。
可是，薩科茲很快發現，法方的所有努力，原來是一廂情愿！外界無從了解胡錦濤的回信，只知法方大失所望，頗有熱臉貼上冷屁股之難堪，心中有氣，以致愛麗榭宮的慶祝活動儘管舉行在即，亦不惜緊急喊卡，只留給參議院來慶祝，法華人士聞悉皆感錯愕，隱約感受到法方的不悅，非同小可。
據悉，愛麗榭宮不奢望溫家寶會來巴黎，只退而求其次，希望北京能派出一個由副部長層級官員率領的代表團赴會。奈何姿態之不斷放軟，卻始終無法換來“老朋友”的善意回應，愛麗榭宮碰了一鼻子灰，頗感意興闌珊，慶祝酒會辦到如斯寥落，倒不如不辦，巴黎為保國格，有此決定，誠無可厚非。
溫家寶選在1月27日，即中法建交45周年紀念日抵達歐洲，開始為時一周的“環法之旅”，稱得上名副其實的Tour de France，全程皆環繞法國，但在境外，而非境內！先瑞士，後德國，赴西班牙，往英國，以布魯塞爾為終站，總之法國的東南西北，溫家寶都走透透，就是過門不入，要給巴黎難堪。
溫家寶此次訪歐，目的是化解去年12月初里昂歐中峰會“推遲”之遺憾，費加洛報說溫氏口袋已備好鋼筆，每到一個國家必然大簽訂單，至於和這些國家有過的爭端，亦全拋諸腦後，即使捷克總理於去年十一月曾以高規格接待達賴，北京也不計較，甚至還可能和擔任歐盟輪值主席的捷克總統克勞斯會面。
北京外交手腕的大小眼，全都看在巴黎眼內，感覺當然不爽，北京的合縱連橫，明顯是試圖在歐盟內部孤立法國，這令人想起當年布希報復巴黎不支持攻打伊拉克所施加之“懲罰”，兩者何其相似！當時華府表明只針對法國，對其他歐盟成員國不計較，如今北京竟也依樣畫葫蘆，法國人寧不唏噓嘆息乎？

SCAM ALERT (serious)
Hi,
Be alert, I might have sent this to you before and if I did, pls delete. Otherwise, please read and forward to your other friends and people you care about. It is as always better to be safe than sorry.
Latest credit card scam.
Please pass this on to everyone you know...
This one is pretty slick since they provide Y O U with all the information,
except the one piece they want.
Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it.
This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA &
MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better prepared to
protect yourself.
One of our employees was called on Wednesday from "VISA", and I was
called on Friday from "MasterCard".
The scam works like this: Person calling says, "This is (name), and
I'm calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My badge number
is 12460. Your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and
I'm
calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by
(name of bank) did you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for ￡497.99
from a Marketing company based in London ?" When you say
"No", the caller
continues with, "Then we will be issuing a credit to your account. This
is a company we have been watching and the charges range from ￡297 to ￡497,
just under the ￡500 purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next
statement, the credit will be applied to your account. I just need to confirm your address (gives you your address), is that
correct?"
You say "yes". The caller continues - "I will be starting a
fraud investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the number listed on the back of your card and ask for the Security & Fraud Department.
You will need to refer to this Control Number. The caller then gives you a
6 digit number. "Do you need me to read it again?"
Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works the caller then says,
"I need to verify you are in possession of your card." He'll ask
you to "turn your card over and look for some numbers." There are 7
numbers; the first
4 are part of your card number, the next 3 are the security numbers that verify
you are the possessor of the card. These are the numbers you sometimes use to
make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. The caller will ask you to
read the 3 numbers to him. After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he'll
say, "That is correct, I just needed to verify that the card has not been
lost or stolen, and that you still have your card. Do you have any other
questions?" After you say, "No," the caller then thanks you and
states, "Don't hesitate to call back if you do", and hangs up.
You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the Card
number. But after we were called, we called back within 20
minutes to ask a question. Are we glad we did! The REAL VISA Security
Department told us it was a scam and in the last 15 minutes a new purchase of
￡497.99 was charged to our card.
Long story - short - we made a real fraud report and closed the VISA account.
VISA is reissuing us a new number. What the scammers want is the 3-digit PIN
number on the back of the card. Don't give it to them.
Instead, tell them you'll call VISA or Master Card directly for
verification of their conversation. The real VISA told us that they will never
ask for anything on the card as they already know the information
since they issued the card! If you give the scammers your 3 Digit PIN
Number, you think you're receiving a credit. However, by the time you get
your statement you'll see charges for purchases you didn't make, and by
then it's almost too late and/or more difficult to actually file a fraud
report.
What makes this more remarkable is that on Friday, I got a call from a
"Jason Richardson of MasterCard" with a word-for-word repeat of the
VISA scam. This time I didn't let him finish. I hung up! We filed a
police report, as instructed by VISA. The police said they are taking several
of these reports daily! They also urged us to tell everybody we know that this
scam is happening .
Please pass this on to all your family and friends. By informing each other,
we protect each other.

奥巴马效应席卷全球
奧巴馬（Barack Obama）於2009-01-20，在國會山莊廣場宣誓就任美國第44任總統，正式成為美國史上首名擁有黑人血統的總統
分析/奥巴马效应席卷全球 民众认同度高星岛环球网 www.stnn.cc
2009-01-20
奥巴马就职成为美国史上首任黑人总统，全球各地都对这位美国新领袖充满期待，希望他能带领全世界走出经济困局。尽管众多分析家都警告对奥巴马期望过高是不切实际，但各国政府及海外国民普遍热烈支持这位新贵，全球报纸头版及电视新闻近日都充斥奥巴马的照片，“奥巴马效应”势不可挡。
星岛新闻集团消息，西班牙《国家日报》（El Pais）大字标题：《美国梦上台》（The American Dream Comes to Power），配以奥巴马和第一夫人米歇尔的图片。西班牙首相萨帕特罗相信，“奥巴马效应”可以缩短全球的经济衰退期。
萨帕特罗说：“我认为，如果奥巴马的新政府令人产生信心，经济危机时期会较预期为短。我们可以见到反弹速度会超出预期，这是信心问题，因为全球经济基础是稳健的。”
德国总理默克尔期望和奥巴马新政府紧密合作。奥巴马今年4月将会两度到访欧洲，参加国际经济危机会议及北约高峰会。
英国首相布朗指出，中东问题应该是奥巴马优先处理的外交要务，其它领袖则希望奥巴马加快处理气候变化及对抗贫穷的问题。
与此同时，英国广播公司（BBC）一项访问了17国人民的民调指出，奥巴马上台将能改善美国和世界其它国家的关系。67%的受访者相信，奥巴马可以增强美国对外关系。调查发现，受访者认为奥巴马优先要处理的外交事务应是把美军撤出伊拉克、其次是对抗气候暖化及推动中东和平等。
由于奥巴马是美国史上首任黑人总统，非洲人顺应成章地对他的期望最高，多达87%的加纳人民支持他。其次是意大利、德国、西班牙及法国的国民，支持率都超过70%。
除了美国外，这项调查还在中国、英国、德国、法国、意大利、西班牙、日本、俄罗斯、加纳及尼日利亚等十多国进行。
花絮/占星家：奥巴马将遇三次暗杀 可逢凶化吉
星岛环球网 www.stnn.cc 2009-01-20
【星岛网讯】缅甸53岁占星家山·扎尼·蒲19日预测，奥巴马今明两年和2013年将遇到暗杀阴谋，但都可逢凶化吉，逃过暗杀行动，而且能在下届大选连任。
香港《文汇报》报道，蒲说：“狮子座（奥巴马的星座）天生就要领导他人，他的牌显示出帝皇之兆。”。他认为奥巴马生于8月4日，代表“在4日出生的他领导下，国家将会发达”。
蒲解读星象后警告，奥巴马会在2009、2010和2013年遇上“某种暗杀企图”。然而，因他生日日期和星座之故，暗杀注定失败。他又预测，准国务卿希拉里可能要面对潜在威胁。
