North Korea Rockets On Standby To Hit U.S. Bases

The tension between North Korea and the United States escalated to an alarming level after North Korea threatened to attack U.S. airbases in Okinawa, Japan and Guam in Micronesia. Both countries have had bad history in relations to their nuclear and missile diplomacy. For years, the United States and the international community have tried to negotiate an end to North Korea’s nuclear and missile development and its export of ballistic missile technology. Those efforts have been replete with periods of crisis, stalemate, and tentative progress towards denuclearization, and North Korea has long been a key challenge for the global nuclear nonproliferation regime.

为什么有星期一

为什么有星期一,为什么一星期有七天,为什么明天是星期一?

这些名称最早起源于古巴比伦(Babylon)。公元前7至6世纪,
巴比伦人便有了星期制。
他们把一个月分为4周,每周有7天,即一个星期。
古巴比伦人建造七星坛祭祀星神。
七星坛分7层,每层有一个星神,
从上到下依此为日、月、火、水、木、金、土7个神。
7神每周各主管一天,因此每天祭祀一个神,
每天都以一个神来命名:
太阳神沙马什主管星期日,称日耀日;
月神辛主管星期一,称月耀日;
火星神涅尔伽主管星期二,称火耀日;
水星神纳布主管星期三,称水耀日;
木星神马尔都克主管星期四,称木耀日;
金星神伊什塔尔主管星期五,称金耀日;
土星神尼努尔达主管星期六,称土耀日。

  古巴比伦人创立的星期制,首先传到古希腊、古罗马等地。
古罗马人用他们自己信仰的神的名字来命名1周7天:
Sun\'s-day(太阳神日),
Moon\'s-day(月亮神日),
Mars\'s-day(火星神日),
Mercury\'s-day(水星神日),
Jupiter\'s-day(木星神日),
Venus\'-day(金星神日),
Saturn\'s-day(土星神日)。
这其个名称传到不列颠后,
盎格鲁-撒克逊人又用他们自己的信仰的神的名字改造了其中4个名称,
以Tuesday 、Wednesday、Thursday、Friday 
分别取代Mars\'s-day 、Mercury\'s-day 、
Jupiter\'s-day 、Venus\'-day。 
Tuesday来源于Tiu,是盎格鲁-撒克逊人的战神;
Wednesday来源于Woden,是最高的神,也称主神;
Thursday来源于Thor,是雷神;
Friday来源于Frigg,是爱情女神。
这样就形成了今天英语中的1周7天的名称:
Sunday(太阳神日),
Monday(月亮神日),
Tuesday(战神日),
Wednesday(主神日),
Thursday(雷神日),
Friday(爱神日),
Saturday(土神日)。
