taxi. even a bus was one pound and 20 pence (about 12 yuan) for a single ticket. i didnt need to travel this way anyway. i had mabel- my london bike. when i moved to beijing, like every foreigner, i was delighted to discover i could take a cab for cheaper than a single journey on the subway. but something was wrong. i missed mabel. that was when i met mandarin mabel also known as mandy, my

father of america was not the father of bug. when washington wrote that, englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and americans had already created lightningbug(萤火虫). but the english were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the americans to call a bug a bug in nineteenth and twentieth centuries.the american bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bugshaped car. the bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装) an alarm”. now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others conversations. since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”， and since the 1940s it has been annoying.we also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. that meaning dates back to the time of thomas edison. in 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to
