Adieu! faint-hearted instrument of lust;
 That falselie hath betrayde our equale trust.
 Hence-forth no more will I implore thine ayde,
 Or thee, or man of cowardize upbrayde.
 My little dilldo shall suply their kinde:
 A knaue, that moues as light as leaues by winde;
 That bendeth not, nor fouldeth anie deale,
 But stands as stiff as he were made of steele;
 And playes at peacock twixt my leggs right blythe,
 And doeth my tickling swage with manie a sighe.
 For, by saint Runnion! he'le refresh me well;
 And neuer make my tender bellie swell.

再見！懦弱的慾望工具；
那個謊言辜負了我們平等的信任。
從今以後我不再懇求你的幫助，
或者你，或者懦弱的人。
我的小假陽具將滿足他們的需求：
一隻小鳥，像風中飄動的樹葉一樣輕盈；
它既不彎曲，也不破壞任何交易，
但他卻像鋼鐵一樣堅強；
孔雀在我右腿間嬉戲，
並用許多嘆息來懲罰我的癢癢。
因為，以聖人 Runnion 的名義！他會讓我精神煥發；
也永遠不會讓我的嫩肚子腫脹起來。

podcast

iPod + broadcast 組成的混成詞，由作家Ben Hammersley在2004年所造（podcasting）。

podcast主要指節目本身，每一集播客的用詞一般是episode。

There's no restriction for what a podcast should and should not be. Of course, if you cover all these topics and more, you may find it harder to find an audience than if you focus on a narrower range and cover it well. Finding listeners is simpler if your podcast can be summarized in a sentence. More people will sample your show if it fits in a category in a podcast directory—like that found in the iTunes Store—than if it ends up lumped in a generic catch-all list.

The stinking breath, hoarse voice, and snoring respiration of the cunnilingus, fellator and fellatrix, the effeminate, piping tone of the cinædus and irrumator, which excited the special scorn of the early satirical writers, were doubtless the expression of a catarrhal pharyngolaryngitis acquired in the discharge of their filthy practices.

Private-equity nabobs bristle at being dubbed mere financiers. Piling debt onto companies’ balance-sheets is only a small part of what leveraged buy-outs are about, they insist. Improving the workings of the businesses they take over is just as core to their calling, if not more so. Much of their pleading is public-relations bluster.

angiosperm

源自古希臘語 ἀγγεῖον (angeîon，“容器”) + σπέρμα (spérma，“種子”)。

As with the Lejeuneaceae, this pattern of massive speciation appears to be correlated with the Cretaceous explosion of the angiosperms and the simultaneous creation of a host of new microenvironments, differing in humidity, light intensity, texture, etc.

與 Lejeuneaceae 一樣，這種大規模物種形成模式似乎與白堊紀被子植物的爆發以及同時創造出的大量新的微環境有關，這些微環境在濕度、光照強度、紋理等方面各不相同。

1992年，魯道夫馬蒂亞斯舒斯特，The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of North America: East of the Hundredth Meridian，卷 V, 伊州芝加哥: 菲爾德自然史博物館, →ISBN，頁s 3-4:

The notion of magnoliaceans as the most primitive living angiosperms, justified or not, does not mean that all their characters, including multilacunar nodal anatomy and the lack of tannins, are primary.

木蘭科植物作為最原始的被子植物，無論合理與否，並不意味著它們的所有特徵，包括多隙節解剖結構和缺乏單寧，都是原始的。

1997，Valentin A. Krassilov，Angiosperm Origins: Morphological and Ecological Aspects，頁 134:

With all these features, it is pretty easy for one to identify an angiosperm. This is a very normal and common practice for neobotanists. However, the situation becomes complicated when you go back to the early history of angiosperms.

social justice warrior

How will your upper class social justice warrior cope with men swearing and pushing each other? Will she faint at the first sight of blood from a split lip? Or will she hike up her skirts, grab a hot soup spoon, and brain the first aggressor she can find?

But the partisan liberals in the Obama adminstration think that the rules don't apply to them. They are blind to the dragon's teeth of division and mistrust that their social justice politics sows in the body politic. They honor and celebrate the "activist," the "community organizer" and the social justice warrior, whose proud life purpose is to "raise consciousness" of injustice and marginalization.

2014，Joe Cooper，“It's Not 'Unwisdom', It's Hubris -- Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality.”, in soc.culture.usa (Usenet):

Finally, social justice warriors always portray themselves—and seem to experience themselves—as actively suffering victims who need protection.

The fifteenth Day of the eighth Moon, is ſolemniz'd by the Chineſes with great feaſting and rejoycing.

They are round, but the biggeſt, which are about two hands breadth in diameter, and repreſent the Full Moon, have every one a Hare in the middle made of a Paſt of Walnuts, Almonds, Pine-Apple-Kernels and other Indgredients.

The moon cake—I am afraid I cannot convey an idea in words, of the delicacy of this exquisite morceau. I merely give its composition, and leave the rest to the imagination of the reader.

The emblematical pastry of the period, the moon cake, has for its ingredients a little bit of everything grown during all the seasons of the year. […] Indeed, it is the nearest thing to pie the Chinese cookery affords. Bits of pork, cabbage, pumpkin, figs, fruit and fowl baked together in a cast-iron crust, seasoned with pork fat, may not be appetizing to the Caucasian taste, but they tickle the palate of a Chinaman into epicurean laughter and make him believe he is enlarging his mind proportionately with his waist.

The round moon cakes, measuring about three inches in diameter and one and a half inches in thickness, resembled Western fruit cakes in taste and consistency. These cakes were made with melon seeds, lotus seeds, almonds, minced meats, bean paste, orange peels, and lard. A golden yolk from a salted duck egg was placed at the center of each cake, and the golden brown crust was decorated with symbols of the festival. Traditionally, thirteen moon cakes were piled into a pyramid to symbolize the thirteen moons of a "complete year"—that is, twelve moons plus one intercalary moon.

theist

源自古希臘語 θεός (theós，“神”) + -ist。

The term stands in contradistinction to theism which, in its widest sense, means belief in a personal god, goddess, gods and /or goddesses.

1999, Jeaneane D. Fowler, Humanism: Beliefs & Practices, page 66

The theist is a man firmly persuaded of the existence of a Supreme Being as good as He is powerful, who has formed all beings with extension, vegetating, sentient and reflecting; who perpetuates their species, who punishes crimes without cruelty, and rewards virtuous actions with kindness.

No one is to be called a Theist, who does not believe in a Personal God, whatever difficulty there may be in defining the word "Personal."

1870，John Henry Newman，An Essay in aid of a Grammar of Assent，頁 119:


syncretism

源自拉丁語 syncretismus ← 古希臘語 συγκρητισμός (sunkrētismós，“克里特城邦的聯合”) ← συγκρητίζω (sunkrētízō，“聯合以對抗共同敵人”) ← σύν (sún，“一同”) （參見英語syn-） + Κρῆτες (Krêtes，“克里特人”)。等同於syn- + Crete + -ism（“克里特人聯合”）。

/ˈsɪŋkɹəˌtɪsm/

It provides a more natural explanation of the Colossian syncretism as stemming from local religious impulses that continued to wield a powerful draw on people converted to Christianity from the local Jewish communities and pagan cults. […] The kind of syncretism we find at Colossae was not unique to that city or region.

1995, Clinton E. Arnold, The Colossian Syncretism: The Interface Between Christianity and Folk Belief at Colossae, J.C.B. Mohr (Paul SieBeck), page 238,

Kraft's functional view of Anthropology eventually leads to syncretism because God is understood as working within a modern, humanistic paradigm.

The strategies of religious syncretism—the active transformation through renegotiation, reorganization, and redefinition of clashing belief systems—are consistent with the creolization process.

In this paper a distinction is assumed between full syncretism, which affects whole morphemes, and partial syncretism, which affects only some case allomorphs, and also between syncretism proper and mere loss of a case morpheme.

Romanian conjugation displays several cases of syncretism, in which two paradigmatic slots share the same grammatical desinence. […] On the other hand, the syncretisms of the imperfect and subjunctive are not phonologically conditioned and, as such, apply to every verb without exception.

hôtel

借自法語 hôtel，且保留了揚抑符。

The residences of some of the nobility in London were at one period called Inns, which has the same signification as hôtel, and several of the Inns of Court, as Gray’s Inn, Furnival’s Inn, Lincoln’s Inn, and Clifford’s Inn, were originally the residences of Lords Gray, Furnival, Lincoln, and Clifford. […] Many of the hôtels in Paris contain within their enclosed walls an extensive garden, spacious court, stables, and offices.

1840，Charles Knight，“The Antiquities of France.”, in The Penny Magazine of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge，卷 9，頁 204:

The price is high in the large and elegant hôtels in the opulent quarters; but more moderate rate in those situated in the interior of the city, where lodgings are simply neat and convenient. The hôtels the most splendid and expensive, are those of the quarters of Palais Royal, Tuileries and Chaussée-d’Antin. […] All these prices include the portage from the hôtel to, and from packet-boat to the hôtel. […] Among the many old Hôtels, the traveller, will notice: the hôtel of the Bouvardière; the hôtel of Drouges, and the episcopal palace.

1840，Jean-Marie-Vincent Audin，The Traveller’s Classical Guide Through France:

In point of fact, the garçon is much above the English waiter in his aims. He voluntarily undergoes a kind of curriculum of education, by passing from the hôtels of one country to those of another, and does not consider himself proficient till he speaks German, French, Italian, and English; at the very least, if of German birth, speaking French with fluency. Some good and capacious hôtels, built distinctly as such, have lately been established at the principal railway termini in London, also at Dover and a few other places. With these exceptions, the hôtels of England are far behind the new high-class hôtels of the continent; nor do we know of any English hôtel which approaches in grandeur or extent to the Hôtel de Louvre in Paris, the Metropole at Geneva, or to some of the magnificent hôtels at Hamburg. But while we now write (1862), projects are on foot to build several hôtels in London worthy of the place, and corresponding to the vastness of modern demands. / In England, the hôtel system of living is simply that of paying for what is called for, with the addition of a certain charge per diem for the rooms which are occupied; in France and other continental countries, this plan is so far modified by the plan of dining at a table d’hôte, which lessens the general expenses. Both in England and continental hôtels, the charge for attendance is now made explicitly in the bill, a very grateful improvement. The ordinary hôtels in all parts of the United Kingdom are licensed by magistrates to sell wines, spirits, and other excisable liquors, and therefore come under the category of public-houses open to the supervision of the police. In the higher-class hôtels, however, the supply of liquors is confined to the resident guests; and it is only in the others that drink is sold as in taverns. […] Throughout the United States of America, the system of hôtels has taken a peculiar turn. The hôtels are built for the purpose, and usually very large; with few exceptions they are conducted as boarding-houses on the plan of charging so much per diem, everything included excepting liquor, which is obtainable in a large drinking-room called the bar. […] Elegant in their architecture, and spacious and commodious in their interior arrangements, the American hôtels are got up at great expense, as may be judged from their extensive accommodation, which ranges from 180 to 800 rooms. […] The system of American hôtels is generally followed in the British colonies.

1871，William Chambers，Robert Chambers，“'HÔTEL'”, in Chambers's Encyclopaedia: A Dictionary of Universal Knowledge for the People，卷 5，頁 437:

Personal merit and talent had been more considered than mere rank at the hôtel of the marquise, yet the most illustrious of the aristocracy frequented it.
