经常有人问我：美国人到底是怎样看中国和中国人？今天这篇博文告诉你一点点，这些
评价是否准确，各位自己鉴定。
在美国时，经常想念中国；在中国时又想念美国，想念美国的朋友们。
这些日子在北京，和美国的朋友们经常邮件和电话往来，一老美给我发了一组关于
中国人海边度假的相片，还有英文说明，可以看出其中充满了他们对中国的好奇，天啦
，那么多人，不知他从哪里弄来的。
我们先来看一些比较正统的评价：
20 年前，翻开华尔街日报，只有在后几页偶尔能发现有关中国的“豆腐块”，现
在世界任何论坛已经达到了无中国不论坛的地步。
美国社会普遍存在的一个问题，“美国人看中国存在两极趋势，一种是好得不得了
，认为中国很快将统领世界经济，另一种是带着有色眼镜看中国，对于中国的一切都带
有意识形态的偏见，觉得中国到处都是问题，美国社会缺乏对中国客观中肯的评价。”
不少美国人认为中国是美国最大的竞争对手。
现在来说说我们多年来，平常和不同层次，不同职业的美国朋友交往时听到的草根
评价吧，这可是我们打入美帝国主义内部的第一手资料哦：
当然，我接触的美国人只是一部分，所以他们的说法也只是代表一部分美国人对中
国和对

(Reuters) - A little-known French sports doctor who spent 16 years studying
the busts of about 300 women sent a scare through a country known for its
love of lingerie this week when he suggested bras were useless.
Jean-Denis Rouillon, 62, was thrust into the limelight after he told a
student radio station that his work suggested wearing a bra weakened the
natural muscles that hold up breasts and women should consider going bra-
less.
National radio picked up the story and Rouillon, based at the small
University of Franche-Comte in the eastern town of Besançon, was soon
being hounded by newspapers and TV.
France Info radio interviewed a 28-year-old volunteer in the study, Capucine
, who said abandoning her bra had liberated her in more ways than one,
improving her breathing and posture.
"You breathe better, you stand up straighter, you have less back pain," she
told the national news station.
Even the highbrow daily Le Monde weighed in, offering an historical insight
into the origins of the bra dating back to the 14th century.
Rouillon told Reuters that his unpublished work is still in the early stages
and he is hesitant about giving one-size-fits-all advice to women, despite
the media circus.
His preliminary results on 330 women aged 18 to 35 suggested that wearing a
bra from an early age does nothing to help a wearer's breasts and going
without could improve firmness.
"The suspension system of the breasts degenerates," Rouillon said,
explaining that bras also unnaturally hamper circulation.
"But a middle-aged women, overweight, with 2.4 children? I'm not at all sure
she'd benefit from abandoning bras," he added.
