Some of the most beautiful and thus appealing physical theories, including quantum electrodynamics and quantum gravity, have been dogged for decades by infinities that erupt when theorists try to prod their calculations into new domains. Getting rid of these nagging infinities has probably occupied far more effort than was spent in originating the theories.

一些最美丽、最吸引人的物理理论，包括量子电动力学和量子引力，几十年来一直受到无穷性的困扰，当理论家试图将他们的计算推向新的领域时，无穷性就会爆发。摆脱这些烦人的无穷性可能比创立这些理论所花费的努力要多得多。

By now you have probably heard of influencers, that group of internet-famous people who have more than a million social media followers and can make big money by plugging various brands. And you may have even heard of microinfluencers, who do the same thing for a still sizable but somewhat smaller social media audience — from the tens to low hundreds of thousands.

The idea of an influencer economy or streaming economy might have caused eyes to roll just a couple years ago, but the reality is that this segment of the economy is growing fast. More importantly, it is the part of the economy (and type of engagement) that is most appealing to the increasingly important millennial and Gen-Z cohorts.

Its actions, it hoped, would raise asset prices and end deflation.

Form's silent asking, man's loving speech, the mute proclamation of the creature, are all gates leading into the presence of the Word.

If someone asks for love he will not get love, because the very asking makes him unlovely, ugly; the very fact of asking becomes the barrier.

如果有人要求得到爱，他将得不到爱，因为要求本身就让他变得不可爱、丑陋；要求这个事实本身就成为了障碍。

他说我差点在那张长凳上搞起来。他把我的手放在他的大腿边，放在一个硬东西上，我问他那是什么，他叫我去看看，我照做了，那是他的那话儿；圆圆的，温暖的，跳动着

“Just think of it as another Ob visit,” Katie countered.
“Yeah, one that involves electric shock treatment in my hoochie!” I retorted.

“就当是再去妇产科就诊吧，”凯蒂反驳道。
