    非同寻常的2008 与美国十大流行语（仅代表个人意见）

     
    年底将近，居然有了写总结的冲动。记得高中的时候，每年我都曾为写个人总结而烦恼：）可是，无论是中国还是美国，今年都发生了太多非同寻常的重大事件，世界也必将为之发生巨大变化。
     
    个人认为 2008年是20世纪以来最为关键的一年，很有可能会作为一个重大拐点载入史册。就好比1989开始的东欧剧变，最终导致社会主义在欧洲的彻底崩溃。由2007开始，2008年大爆发的美国金融危机，很有可能会彻底颠覆过度自由的美式资本主义，进而形成一种注重政府监管的半资本半社会主义。
     
    本人评选的美国2008年度十大流行语如下（Buzzwords of 2008 in my mind）：
     
    1. Bailout  - 救还是不救，真是一个难题
    2. Yes we can！ - 奥巴马竞选获胜后的打气语
    3. Too big to fail   - 三巨头很大，很糟糕，实在是不能不救呀（布施：要败也不能败我手里，先吊上一口气，让巴马头痛去吧） 
    4. Change - 奥巴马赢得大选的核心词汇，也是美国人民梦想之所在
    5. Ponzi Scheme  - Madoff让我们重温经典的庞氏骗局,500亿美元可能也是一个无法超越的世界纪录吧。谁还要跟我说美国证券市场监管严格，我就跟谁急。What is too good to be true is simple not true. 
    6. Recession  -  一个一年后才被勉强承认的简单事实
    7. Foreclosure  - 投机者的梦噩
    8. Layoff  -  上班一族的末日
    9. Joe the plumer  - 平凡的美国小业主代表 an example of middle class Americans during 2008 Presidential Election season
    10. Hockey Mom - 中产阶级主妇的代表
