AE是account executive的意思，就是客户经理之类的职务

“AE”原文Account Executive，国内称为“客户经理”或“业务经理”，有的干脆叫做“业务员”。“AE”的职责是：对外，与客户进行谈判、联络、提案、收款等；对内，制定策略、协调资源、分派工作、监督进程等。由此可知，一个真正的“AE”，并不象“拉业务”的业务员那么简单。他要熟悉销售、市调、企划、设计、制作、媒体等方面的专业知识，也要有一定的人际关系处理能力。 准确判断与合理建议
一般AE的工作包含两个部分：客户沟通和财务目标。

** 作者在宣传自己的书时候用了很多小朋友的声音和他呼应，为他叫好，特别好玩

Amazon.com: Punk Farm : Jarrett J. Krosoczka: Books

http://www.punkfarm.com/

听npr这期：Jarrett J. Krosoczka Rocks with ’ Punk Farm ’ : NPR。

比如，他说“我的书你们都看了么”。只后出现小朋友的声音“yeah～”之类的。还有笑声。

真好玩儿。这个方法很新鲜，很有意思。

** 定向爆破的英文是controlled demolition

多用于拆除大型建筑物。

** QFII是Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (合资格境外机构投资者) 的首字缩写

本报讯 中国证监会日前批准韩国保德信资产运用株式会社QFII(合格境外机构投资者)资格。据悉，这是境内第54家QFII，距上一次的哥伦比亚大学校董会获批仅一个月。
证监会再批QFII

我猜是”qualified foreign investing institution”。这个没有没有什么悬念，无非是第3个单词是investing还是investment的区别。

查了一下，结果我猜错了。：）

缩小QFII是Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (合资格境外机构投资者) 的首字缩写。 …
zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/QFII

两个i原来都有悬念。：）

** A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words 是 百闻不如一见 的意思么？

显然这位作者也是认为它是百闻不如一见的意思。
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words——写在《体验英语图解学习词典》出版之际的几句话

但更多是下面的翻译：

A Picture Paints a Thousand Words 一图胜千言
This term which means a story told by pictures as well as a vast amount of descriptive text comes from the quotation ‘One picture is worth ten thousand words’, Frederick R. Barnard in Printer’s Ink, 8 Dec 1921 retelling a Chinese proverb.
