当争吵在沉默中进行

最近两个星期一直在做一件无聊透顶的事情。不知Email的发明是否是件好事，大量的信息和情感通过digital的文字传达着，你猜不到坐在光缆另外一端的人对着电脑心情如何，也不知他/她的话几分真几分假。摘取最近收到的一封Email的片断，我都开始扪心自问是否性本恶，以出语伤人为好。


... ... I have already warned you about your rudeness when you write to me, and that you better show the correct level of respect. I would like to tell you that I am very much offended by about your final paragraph. Taken in conjunction with your various false claims, I will not threaten you with any punitive punishment and I just wish that you can understand that if your claims are false, they will eventually be found out. If you can take this as a lesson learnt, good. If not, I don’t think I want to insist anyway. I have already done my best for you and I don’t think I can do anything more for you.

If you are offering an apology to me, I will take the time to listen to you and if it is sincere I will accept it. As I have told you very clearly in my last email I have done all due diligence and checked all the necessary details and I have to come to a firm conclusion of the matter on hand. I have already given you a fair hearing and I do not wish to continue if you can only offer weak excuses without any firm evidence, and I hope you can respect my decision.

Furthermore, I have explained that I need to firm and clear about such matter, and that if I find that your claims are wrong or false, I will have to tell you in no uncertain terms based on the evidence that I have uncovered. Whether you do it intentional or not, I will have to make a judgement, and it is not for you to tell me what I should do. You should have that basic respect. Even though I am satisfied that the three claims are false,

Thus, my conclusion is that there is nothing unclear about your statements. I am sure you meant it exactly as written. Furthermore, why create such a mystery now and profess that there are others in the same situation like you, and again allege that my AO has failed in her duties again? Did she misplaced your form (or other students’ form) and then have to ask you to submit the same form three times? Or you have to do it so many times, because you have persistent errors? Anyway... ...


Whatever, 愤怒归愤怒，照片还是要奉上的。以上为最近出行Grasse的得意之作，只是不知如何可以洒上香水的味道。
