就像有一次我跟王惟说的，这世上既没真功夫又混得好的人多的是。我们算是跨入了一个忽悠的新纪元了。（本山大叔打响了第一枪？）

已经感受到一种越来越浮躁的风气，无论在什么领域；我以为只是我个人的感觉，可是这次两会上也反映出这个问题，由此看来并非我臆断。为什么有些人们沉不住气，为什么急功近利，等等一系列问题，我一直苦寻着答案。恐怕追根溯源，要怪就怪两个人：秦始皇和慈禧老太婆，尤其是后者。参见Alfred Adler的理论（有关Inferiority and Superiority），就不展开了。

> 那是最美好的时代，那是最糟糕的时代；那是智慧的年头，那是愚昧的年头；那是信仰的时期，那是怀疑的时期；那是光明的季节，那是黑暗的季节；那是希望的春天，那是失望的冬天；我们全都在直奔天堂，我们全都在直奔相反的方向。

> It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.

那是忽悠的年代。It was the epoch of frivolity. （征集“忽悠”一词的翻译！za同学帮帮忙吧）
