E71和Outlook2007的同步问题

前天买了E71, 目前正在摸索中，至少速度还不错。由于PC上用Outlook2007, 所以首先学习二者之间的同步。发现一个问题。

E71的带办事项不如Outlook详细，如，没有事件开始时间。更重要的是，如果Outlook中的循环周期设置采用" 完成一个再生成另一个的模式", E71就无法正确同步时间，只能默认为每个月的第一天，太奇怪了。把Outlook的循环周期改为第一种方式就OK了。

令人啼笑皆非的是，第一种方式Outlook中很可能是个bug, 即月和天的设定是反的。MS居然会犯这种错误?

Marquee value 招牌效应

 

There is also a certain marquee value that companies would look for -- to be in prospectuses if they are going public or in the annual company report. It also has a marketing value to gain clients, especially in professional services and some sectors of financial services.

 

the value of sth waters down, 贬值

I think the value has gotten a little more watered down over the years. If you look back 20 or 30 years, and look up the number of people who had M.B.A.s, there are probably five times as many in 2006. It means comparatively less now than in 1966, because there are more of them. That's why the value is greater at the top schools.

at the (very) least, 至少，退一万步讲

 

At the very least, fixing a system-wide problem, elevating standards or driving the industry to a collective response requires effective central regulation and the convening power of regulators.

In this vein, all pools of capital that depend on the smooth functioning of the financial system and are large enough to be a burden on it in a crisis should be subject to some degree of regulation.

 在这种情况下，所有依赖于金融体系平稳运转、并且规模大到足以在危机中拖累该体系的资本池，都应当接受某种程度的监管。
