About some words , which is the most widely used , sanitary towel or maxi pads ? I looked this word up in Dictionary , the translation is sanitary towel . And on WIKI , it says A sanitary napkin, sanitary towel, sanitary pad, menstrual pad, or pad is an absorbent item worn by a woman while she is menstruating, while she is recovering from vaginal surgery, for lochia (post birth bleeding), after an abortion, or in any other situation where it is necessary to absorb a flow of blood from the vagina. I remember foreign friend told me that you guys call it Maxi pads or Tampon . I think WIKI is very authoritative , they won't lie about this . Is this word wrong ? Sanitary towel . If it's wrong , if you came up to this word , what do you think it would be ?

Translation I have done a translation to a paragraph. (Below), i hope you can correct my faults. （If you don't understand the Chinese part, that's ok, just tell me where i made mistake） 美籍华裔电脑名人王安博士说，影响他一生的事发生在他六岁时。 一天他外出玩耍，经过一课大树时，突然有一个鸟巢掉在他的头上，里面滚出一只嗷嗷待哺的小麻雀。他决定把它带回去喂养，连同鸟巢一起带回了家。走到家门口，突然想起他妈妈不允许他在家里养小动物。他轻轻地把小麻雀放在门后，急忙走进屋去请求妈妈，在他的哀求下妈妈破例答应了儿子。王安兴奋地跑到门后，不料小麻雀已经不见了，一只黑猫在意犹未尽地擦拭着嘴巴。王安为此伤心了很久。从此，他记取了一个很大的教训：只要是自己认定的事情，决不可优柔寡断。犹豫不决固然可以免去一些做错事的机会，但也失去了成功的机会。 Dr. An Wang, a famous Chinese American computer entrepreneur , said that a thing that has a lifetime influence on him occurred when he was six. One day he went outside to play. As he walked by a tree , a bird nest suddenly fell on his head and roll out a baby sparrow crying piteously for food. He decided to take it home, along with its nest. When he about to enter his house, he remembered that his mother would not allow him to raise pet at home. Gently,he put the baby sparrow behind the door,and hurried into the room to ask for his mother's permission. His mother said yes. He felt excited and went back to the door, to his surprise, the baby sparrow was gone, a black cat wiped its mouth as it was still enjoying. This made Wang sad for a long time. Since then, he learned a lesson from it, that is, never hesitate at things what he decided to do . Swaying in decision may avoid doing wrong things, but meanwhile you lose chance to succeed.

We didn't go up the land because there is wet. My friend told me that here is “The Heaven of Birds”,there are many birds which nest here, farmers near here disallow people to catch them. I seemed to hear some birds flapping , but when I stared there i couldn't find any bird. Only innumerable roots stand there as many stumps.The land was wet, might washed by the tides. I was thinking how can "The Heaven of Birds"has no bird? Our boat, rowed by my friend, moved on slowly into the middle of the river.
