traffic的另一種拼寫法（尤用於非法貨物）

If an addict-possessor who trafficks in narcotics is to be prosecuted, and if these “time to time” acts constitute “trafficking,” then the Watson majority's possession exemption “will prove nearly meaningless […]

如果要起訴販運毒品的癮君子，並且如果這些“時不時”做出的行為確實構成“販運”，那麼沃森多數人的持有豁免“將證明是幾乎毫無意義的 […]

Tho' it is evident by our histories, that in many cities in Holland great quantities of manufactures were made, when all the European traffick and navigation was mostly driven by the Easterlings and Hans-Towns, and before fishing, traffick, and freighting of ships were settled in these provinces […]

1743, Pieter de la Court, Political Maxims of the State of Holland，第 29 頁:

When I take a cursory survey of this great METROPOLIS and its populous ENVIRONS, I cannot help venturing a conjecture, that the sum total of its internal traffick amounts to one million a day of which the actual manufacture from raw or rough materials must arise to a considerable proportion.

1776, James Stewart, The Total Refutation and Political Overthrow of Doctor Price:

It does, some persons tell us, do no good, while, on the other hand, it renews in our shocked sight scenes which it is not necessary for me to describe in detail, a traffick, which, for the sake of the liberty of the press, may as well be nameless here, though the reader will find it most circumstantially described in the former speeches of Mr. Grey, now Lord Howick.

ununennium

音頻 (標準英式、通用美式)

原子序數為119的未發現元素（符號：Uue）。

Element 119: Ununennium (Uue) This has yet to be reported. From its position in the periodic table, in group 1 below francium, this element should have the physical properties of an alkali metal and, were it long-lived enough, the element should display the singly-charged ion M⁺ as its most favoured chemical state.

2001, John Emsley, “The Elements (A–Z)”, 出自 Nature’s Building Blocks: An A–Z Guide to the Elements, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 出版於 2002 printing, →ISBN，第 468 頁:

"[…] Clemson had element 119 and somehow it attached itself to the oxygen atoms on Earth. The commission wants this element 119 to be called Ununennium based on the element number, one, one, and nine." / Sandi speaks into the telephone, "That is ridiculous! Can't you change the name of the element to the person that found the gas cloud back at SETI, Rich Tolt?" / "I can make a recommendation to the rest of the commission, but rarely do they change names. The names for the next ten elements have been chosen based on the element number and the Latin names of that number to make it easier for the world."

2007, Steven Comas, 章號 10, 出自 The Trojan Horse Cloud, Bloomington, Ind.: AuthorHouse, →ISBN，第 77 頁:

Our question at the beginning of this essay was "are there more elements to be discovered?" The next elements would be ununennium (atomic number 119) and unbinilium (atomic number 120). The problems in trying to produce these elements by accelerating an ion beam into a target are the short half-lives of possible target elements and the extended times required for a successful observation of a new element. So far, elements 119 and 120 have eluded discovery. But you can expect that scientists will continue to search for new elements.

Red China

The highest military body in Red China, the People’s Revolutionary Military Council, is made up of 22 of these 52 Red generals, and three-fifths of them are on the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.

1951, Robert B. Rigg, Red China's Fighting Hordes, Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, →ISBN，第 61 頁:

Kennedy said that he was opposed to recognition of Red China. He indicated, however, that strong arguments had been presented to him in favor of the so-called “two Chinas policy.” Under this policy, Nationalist China would retain its seat on the Security Council, and Red China would have only a seat in the Assembly. This would mean that Red China would have only one vote out of about a hundred in the Assembly and would not be able to block UN action by veto. Kennedy said that proponents of this policy were contending that Red China could not do any damage in the UN under such circumstances.

1962, Richard M. Nixon, Six Crises, Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, →LCCN, →OCLC, →OL，第 408 頁:

Overseas, however, leading public figures urged on us a variety of different courses. For example, former Prime Minister Clement Attlee, returning early in September from a British Labor-party tour of Red China, confirmed reports that Mao Tse-tung had asked him and his fellow Laborites to pressure the United States into pulling the Seventh Fleet away from the waters around Formosa, which, Attlee added, the Communists have a "strong determination" to capture.

1963, Dwight Eisenhower, Mandate for Change 1953-1956, Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, →LCCN, →OCLC，第 464 頁:

Millions of citizens are deeply disturbed that the military-industrial complex too often shapes national policy, but they do not want to be considered unpatriotic. Countless loyal Americans honestly feel that a world body such as the United Nations should include even Red China, but they fear being called Communist sympathizers.

1963, Martin Luther King, Jr., “Transformed Nonconformist”, 出自 Strength to Love, New York: Pocket Books, 出版於 1964, →OCLC，第 13 頁:

I thought that perhaps a sudden and effective air strike would convince the leaders in Hanoi that we were serious in our purpose and also that the North could not count on continued immunity if they persisted in aggression in the South. I realized the risks of involving the Soviets or the Chinese, as Senator Mansfield feared, I said, but neither of them was trying to bring peace or even urging restraint. I doubted that they wanted direct involvement themselves. I pointed out that our intelligence analysts believed Red China would not enter the war unless there was an invasion in the northern part of North Vietnam or unless the Hanoi regime was in danger of being toppled.
