去度假就度假，何必又这么劳苦呢？人生苦短，该工作时应工作，该休息就休息。可能是人到中年了，我看问题的角度也都变了。
出发前，我是做好了辛苦一段时间的准备。但是，出乎意料，玩的时候就玩，翻译的时候就翻译，居然两不相碍，也并没有觉得格外辛苦。

带上笔记本、ipad，iPhone，外加一个wireless hotspot
iphone本身也可以做hotspot的，但也需要额外加钱。再加上，我的电话公司信号不是很好，权衡之下，选择了一个独立的hotspot.

工作压力不要太大，玩儿也别玩得太疯。:)

现在机场、车站、旅馆都能提供 Wireless Internet connection，而且大部分都是免费的。甚至高速公路上有些休息站也能提供。在路途中如果只是为了查 email，也可以上 Starbucks 之类的店。
有一次我在一家挺高级的旅馆想上 Proz.com，却总是上不去。估计人家是把 Proz.com 当成色情网站给过滤掉了。

既能玩好，又能把工作做好，我就没有这个本事。我工作时，喜欢专心致志，否则会觉得不舒服。

I agree. These all mean the same thing.
Actually, I wasn't 100% sure about the character 谝 yesterday because it could have been 北京方言. Plus I didn't know exactly how to "spell" it, so I had to look it up before putting it down.

〈动〉
(2) 〈方〉∶炫耀、夸耀或骄傲地显示 [show off]。如:谝能
“嘚瑟” 原本是东北话， 大概如今也普及全国了。
“炫耀” 应该是比较正规的说法。
“晒晒” Like you said, I think applies to both good and bad.

我在北美一个华人bbs上潜水多年，那里多数是年龄相仿的年轻人（现在，不少已步入中年）。那里的帖子，充斥着BSO，或戏称为“赤果果的炫耀”。
这个论坛，严肃地紧，好像不大有译者出来BSO，因此连Steve 对这个缩写都要先查证一下。:D

想起了佛印禅师与苏东坡的故事。:)
