美伊互不信任下如期展开停火谈判

（伊斯兰堡／华盛顿综合电）美国和伊朗星期六如期在巴基斯坦首都伊斯兰堡展开停火谈判，但双方明显互不信任。 星期六（4月11日）谈判开始之前，巴基斯坦总理谢里夫分别会见了由美国副总统万斯率领的美方代表团，以及由伊朗议会议长卡利巴夫率领的伊方代表团。伊方在与谢里夫会面时，提出谈判的前提条件。 伊朗媒体当天报道，由于在伊斯兰堡进行了密集磋商，伊巴领导人会见取得进展、以色列在黎巴嫩的袭击得到限制，加上美国接受解冻伊朗资产的提议，伊美双方最后确定启动谈判。可是，白宫否认美方同意解冻伊朗资产。 居中斡旋的谢...

头顶一束光

提到“13”，你会想到什么？是否也会下意识生出一丝“谈虎色变”的避讳？ 在西方文化中，13常被视为不吉利的数字，许多酒店甚至刻意回避13楼。 在华人文化里，我们对数字同样有着微妙的解读，例如“18层地狱”的想象，或是“4”的谐音是“死”，很不吉利。但对我来说，4却是一个幸运数字。 要玩谐音梗的话，13在中文语境中也可以被读作“一生”，带着一种关于时间与陪伴的温情寓意。所以，凡事没有绝对。 人的一生，从哭着来到这个世界，到学会笑着面对生活，始终在不同的阶段中转换跑道、成长。13岁，恰好是一个微...
