spatial

The single-imaging optic of the mammalian eye offers some distinct visual advantages. Such lenses can take in photons from a wide range of angles, increasing light sensitivity. They also have high spatial resolution, resolving incoming images in minute detail.

2013 July-August，Fenella Saunders，“Tiny Lenses See the Big Picture”, in American Scientist:

It was a land that could no longer be seriously described as underdeveloped, a land that has been able to achieve remarkably high rates of growth in its industrial production and gross national product since 1928, and a land that would shortly send into outer space the first man-made, and eventually also the first manned, spatial vehicle.

1964, Food Research Institute Studies, volume 4, issue 2, page 123:

By following the roadmap suggested by Godunov himself, the next step in order to reduce truncation errors in a context of large gradients should be to set up moving mesh methods; a suggestion from the man who created the scheme by means of which were achieved computations of the Apollo spatial vehicle during its reentry into Earth's atmosphere [20], is most probably worth being worked out!

2013, Laurent Gosse, Computing Qualitatively Correct Approximations of Balance Laws (ISBN 8847028922):

According to Peter Dickens, the cosmos has become capitalism's new “outside,” and these “outer space imperialisms” are now seeking “outer spatial fixes”—investments in outer space—to solve the crises of capitalism (Dickens 2009, 68).

Drawings and pictures are more than mere ornaments in scientific discourse.

2012年March7日，Brian Hayes，“Pixels or Perish”, in American Scientist，卷 100, 期 2，頁 106:

Almost everyone has his face covered with the folds of the lamba, and even young children seem instinctively to know that prayer is a solemn act, and often lie at full length on the ground perfectly still, with their little heads covered by their dress.

Brexit

Britain + exit 組成的混成詞，類推自 Grexit。
根據牛津英語詞典，最早的使用記錄是在2012年5月15日，由 Peter Wilding 在 Euractiv 的一篇部落格文章中發表，標題為「Stumbling towards the Brexit」，與2012年2月6日創造的 Grexit 作類比。

Unless a clear view is pushed that Britain must lead in Europe at the very least to achieve the completion of the single market then the portmanteau for Greek euro exit might be followed by another sad word, Brexit.

除非人们明确认识到英国必须至少在欧洲发挥领导作用以实现单一市场的完成，否则“希腊退出欧元区”之后可能会出现另一个令人悲伤的词——“英国脱欧”。

2012年May15日，Peter Wilding，“Stumbling towards the Brexit [蹒跚走向英国脱欧]”, in EurActiv，存檔自the original on 2016-06-24:

The business community began to take the idea of Brexit seriously. Three major American banks, the Bank of America, Citibank and Morgan Stanley, revealed they were working on contingency plans to relocate from London to Dublin […]

商界开始认真考虑英国脱欧。美国三大银行——美国银行、花旗银行和摩根士丹利透露，它们正在制定从伦敦迁往都柏林的应急计划 […]

2015，Denis MacShane，Brexit: How Britain Will Leave Europe [英国脱欧：英国将如何脱离欧洲]，London: I.B. Tauris, →ISBN，頁 6:

David Cameron has resigned as Prime Minister after Britain voted to leave the European Union. It followed a turbulent night with Remain campaigners quietly confident until the early hours when results from Newcastle and Sunderland showed better than expected returns for the Brexit camp. A surprise victory for a Brexit in Swansea, which was expected to vote to Remain, did little to dampen concerns despite Scotland overwhelmingly backing staying in the Union.

英国投票决定脱离欧盟后，戴维·卡梅伦辞去首相一职。此前，留欧派一直信心满满，直到凌晨纽卡斯尔和桑德兰的投票结果显示，脱欧派的选情好于预期。斯旺西原本预计会投票支持留欧，但出人意料地支持脱欧，尽管苏格兰绝大多数人支持留在欧盟，但斯旺西的脱欧派却意外获胜，这无助于缓解担忧。

2016年June24日，Kate McCann，“EU referendum live: David Cameron resigns after UK shocks the world by voting for Brexit [欧盟公投直播：英国脱欧震惊世界，卡梅伦辞职]”, in The Daily Telegraph，存檔自the original on 2016-06-24:

The pensions of British Eurocrats are shaping up to be one of the most politically poisonous points in the UK’s Brexit talks, as the EU and London prepare to clash over liabilities running to several billion euros.

随着欧盟和伦敦准备就高达数十亿欧元的债务问题发生冲突，英国原欧盟官员的养老金问题有望成为英国脱欧谈判中最具“政治毒性”的议题之一。

2016年August1日，Alex Barker, Jim Brunsden，“Eurocrats’ pensions shape up to be flashpoint in Brexit talks [欧盟官员养老金有望成为脱欧谈判焦点]”, in The Financial Times，London:

We must lift the uncertainty caused by Brexit.

我们必须消除脱欧造成的不确定性。

2017年June19日，Michel Barnier，“Brexit Negotiations: David Davis says ‘Promising Start’ Made [英国脱欧谈判：大卫·戴维斯称“开局良好”]”, in BBC News:

[Donald] Tusk said: “Our agreement will not make trade between the UK and the EU frictionless or smoother. It will make it more complicated and costly than today, for all of us. This is the essence of Brexit.”

[唐纳德]图斯克表示：“我们的协议不会让英国和欧盟之间的贸易变得顺畅。它将使我们所有人之间的贸易比现在更加复杂和昂贵。这就是脱欧的本质。”

2018年March7日，Daniel Boffey, Jennifer Rankin，“EU scorns UK’s ‘pick and mix’ approach to trade post-Brexit [欧盟蔑视英国脱欧后“挑三拣四”的贸易方式]”, in The Guardian，London:

与此同时，《星期日泰晤士报》披露，公务员警告称，如果不能达成协议，英国将迎来“世界末日脱欧”，从而导致药品、燃料和食物短缺。

2018年June5日，“Brexit poll reveals record number of voters think decision to leave EU is wrong [英国脱欧民意调查显示，创纪录数量的选民认为脱欧决定是错误的]”, in The Independent，London:

“这一切都无济于事，我们现在需要做的是与我们的欧洲伙伴更加紧密地联系在一起，并找出一个对双方、对欧盟和我们都有利而务实的脱欧方案。”

A further referendum is not just a way for voters to decide whether to incur the economic and social cost of a final Brexit deal.

再次公投不仅仅是选民决定是否承担最终脱欧协议的经济和社会成本的一种方式。

2019年March5日，David Miliband，“As foreign secretary I argued against an EU referendum. Now I back one [担任外交大臣期间，我反对留欧公投。现在我支持]”, in The Guardian:

The EESC also considers that the €5.4 billion reserve will not be sufficient to mitigate the negative effects of Brexit and asks the co-legislators to increase the proposed ceiling.

欧洲经济和社会委员会还认为，54亿欧元的储备不足以减轻英国脱欧带来的负面影响，并要求共同立法者提高拟议的上限。

2021 November，Christiaan van Lierop，European Parliamentary Research Service:

Brexit has also made it harder for the UK to deport migrants back to the EU as the country has left the bloc’s asylum scheme.

由于英国已退出欧盟的庇护计划，脱欧也使得英国将移民遣返回欧盟变得更加困难。

2021年December2日，“Frontex plane arrives in northern France to help fight people smuggling [Frontex 飞机抵达法国北部协助打击人口走私]”, in Euronews，源於 AFP:

拜登对英国脱欧后伦敦无法解决“爱尔兰问题”的恼怒也起到了一定作用。

2023年August7日，Jo Harper，“UK–US: What’s happened to their free trade deal? [英国 - 美国：他们的自由贸易协定发生了什么？]”, in Deutsche Welle:

2023年October6日，Heather Stewart，“‘Choose London’: Sadiq Khan steps up efforts to lure EU citizens post-Brexit [“选择伦敦”：萨迪克·汗加大力度吸引英国脱欧后的欧盟公民]”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:

The Brexit referendum seemingly heralded such a moment but other than the negative sentiment of leave, the more positive agenda of what to do with the UK’s newfound status has been found wanting.

英国脱欧公投似乎预示着这一时刻的到来，但除了脱欧的负面情绪外，对于如何更积极地处理英国新地位的议程却被发现存在不足。

2023年November3日，Tim Olivier，“Brexit: a critical juncture in the UK’s international relations? [英国脱欧：英国国际关系的关键时刻？]”, in UK in a Changing Europe:

The Brits have been uniquely incompetent in wallowing in narcissistic irrelevance ever since the Brexit vote. They’ve refused to admit that the only path forward for them is a crippling deal with the United States that will give them access to the NAFTA system but at the cost of any kind of economic sovereignty.

自英国脱欧公投以来，英国人一直沉溺于自恋的无足轻重状态，表现得极为无能。他们拒绝承认，他们唯一的出路是与美国达成一项艰难的协议，这将使他们能够进入北美自由贸易协定体系，但代价是牺牲任何形式的经济主权。

2023年November23日，Peter Zeihan，“Ireland Needs a New Game Plan || Peter Zeihan”, in Zeihan on Geopolitics，源於 YouTube, 2:55–3:14:

Brussels has warned the UK that it must fully apply the existing Brexit deals on EU citizens and Northern Ireland before it will entertain a reset in the relationship with London.

nare

中世紀時拉丁語naris（單數）、nares（複數）進入英語，作為學術用途。一些大詞典將這兩個詞作為英語歸化詞，也就是說，詞典收錄nares和nares，卻未收錄 nare （至少到2017年）。但實際上，英語中使用 nare 已有數個世紀，如韋氏詞典1913版中有收錄，17世紀的詩人薩繆爾·巴特勒在長詩《胡迪布拉斯》（1663年）已有使用——"There is a Machiavelian plot, / Tho' ev'ry nare olfact it not"，愛倫·坡曾引用該句作為"The Folio Club"的引言。nare 可能開始作為 nares 的逆構單數，部分英語使用者可能把 nares 認為是英語構詞中的複數。不管其是如此逆構，還是一種甚少記錄於冊的羅曼語族借詞，現代仍有使用，如鼻孔給藥 "5 mL in each nare"。
