今天有一阵首页上显示的新会员均是英译中会员，大家估计一个月后会有多少名英译中会员？

我二月份的时候生病住院13天，虽然出院后恢复得很好，但人生病了就比较想家，所以打算回国住两个月，让家人给我好好调养一下身体，另外我母亲也80多岁了，虽然身体很好，什么病都没有，毕竟年事已高，也想回去陪她一段时间，同时在国内继续做翻译，我把我的电话变成了网络电话，美国这里的客户打我的美国号码，我在中国同样可以接，就像在美国一样。这两个月算是试验一下，如果可以，今后就争取多在国内呆一些时间，也可以顺便开拓国内的汉译英业务。

顺便说一下，现在过安检真麻烦，特别是女性，连鞋子也得脱下来检查，胸大者还得被安检人员手摸，以确保没有夹带任何危险品。

Airport security screeners this week will be instructed not to touch women passengers between their breasts as part of new pat-down procedures, the Transportation Security Administration said yesterday.

The agency said it is making a modification to its searching methods that began in September after more than 400 passengers -- mostly women -- formally complained that the experience was invasive, humiliating and akin to being molested.

Screeners had been instructed to use their hands to touch women between and underneath their breasts to inspect for explosives that might be hidden beneath clothing. Now, the agency said, security screeners will be directed to pat down only the "chest perimeter" of female passengers and not to touch women between their breasts unless they set off a hand-held metal detector in the chest area. Female screeners perform the procedure on female passengers.

Dr. Li,

Sounds like a plan. Take good care of yourself and get well soon. With your years of experience in translation it would be easy to expand your business over there.

My friend I attended college with was also planning on moving his mother to 珠海 to spend some quality time with.

老李如果回国后，还能继续美国的翻译义务，那是用美国的钱，在中国消费，相当于澳门人在澳门工作，回珠海生活，是大好事。
