比如,英语文学专业一年级和二年级博士生可能不会面对像他们的医学和法律学院的同伴那样令人头疼的课程负担或者以不正当手段进行的竞争,但是以后有更持久而艰苦的工作等待着他们。

博士生不仅被要求掌握一系列广泛的知识,而且要在本研究领域撰写一本几乎像书一样厚的学位论文,依据学科的不同,有的可能最终被搁置一旁,就像埃普索泻盐的商标被贴在药箱的后面一样泰然自若。

这些学生必须通过拼凑各种补助金和工钱来获得他们的生活费用,这些工钱是他们帮助教授本科生的课程所赚取的,但也占用了他们的研究时间。

三年级的医学专业学生因为在医院的轮流值班而累得两眼模糊,但干这种工作至少是在为取得学位而努力。

为什么这些在军事领域里被认为是“计算机网络攻击”的策略没有被更广泛地运用？尽管互联网带来了巨大的变化,但它并没有使悠久的战争规律变得过时或毫不相关。

比如,按照军事惯例要求在攻击时区分平民和军事目标。

在既相互分离又相互连接的网络空间里,这个要求并不容易满足: 在网络攻击敌人的手机塔时,也会影响到平民目标。

在2008年美军决定解散一个沙特阿拉伯的网络论坛。

这个由CIA创立的论坛本来是用来收集情报的,但是却越来越被圣战分子用来计划对伊拉克的攻击。

这次解散不经意间造成了在沙特阿拉伯、德国、德克萨斯州的300多台服务器的中断。

网络攻击当然不具备外科手术的精确性,且对平民的伤害很难避免。

军事指挥官们不想因战争罪受到审判，即使这些犯罪是通过网络进行的。

现代社会,大多数由于解除婚姻关系所受的惩罚已经取消,而婚姻关系提供的许多鼓励措施也能在其他的社会结构中获得。

因此,选择保持婚姻关系更多的是因为爱的缘故,而不是传统婚姻的一些独特优势,如抚养孩子,提高身份地位和改善经济状况。

如果一个人觉得她目前的婚姻状态阻止她感受真挚的爱情,(从她的个人发展和满意度来看)她就没有太多的动力继续维持婚姻关系。

事实上,现在许多离婚案件以缺乏爱情作为终止婚姻的理由,这表明爱情在当代婚姻中具有非同寻常的重要性。

在甲流疫情刚开始的时候,卫生官员们就已经发现该病毒很容易传染。

感染甲流的病例不断地增加,仅仅几个星期,甲流病毒就已经遍布世界的各个角落。

但是当研究员们了解甲流是一种新型流感病毒时,当他们得知人类对其还没有免疫力时,当他们发现其传染速度很快时,他们并不能马上估量其是否具有致命性。

过去的有些流行病是比较温和的,然而像导致全世界1亿人丧生的1918年流感之类的流感却是例外。

毕竟在刚开始,没有任何方法可以去证明甲流病毒会是怎样的一种病毒。

这是一场历史性的选举,而我知道它对非裔美人特殊的意义,今晚这份特别的荣耀属于他们。
