lose face

仿譯源自漢語 丟臉／丢脸 (diūliǎn)或丟面子／丢面子 (diū miànzi)。

Ahithophel, Absalom's chief counsel, hanged himself when he lost face after his advice was rejected.

1986, John Shelby Spong, Beyond Moralism: A Contemporary View of the Ten Commandments, HarperCollins (2000), ISBN 9781878282149, unnumbered page:

When you start to feel unmotivated, you will look for ways to weasel out of your commitments. We all do it. If there's a stealth way to back out, without ever losing face, you will do it without hesitation.

2011, Mel Robbins, Stop Saying You're Fine: Discover a More Powerful You, Crown Archetype (2011), ISBN 9780307716729, page 221:

He had arranged for one of his managers to be present in the office with us, so I should have realised immediately that there was little chance of him backing down since that would have meant losing face in front of a subordinate.

uncanny valley

仿譯自日語 不気味の谷 (ぶきみのたに, bukimi no tani)，源自中古漢語 不 (pjuw) + 氣味 (kì-mjɨ̀j, “感觉，感受”) + 日語 の (no, 名词修饰助词) + 谷 (たに, tani, “峡谷”)。首次是由机器人专家森政弘于1970年使用。

So in this case, the appearance is quite human like, but the familiarity is negative. This is the uncanny valley.

1970, Masahiro Mori, “The Uncanny Valley”, 出自 Energy, 第 7 卷, 第 4 號，第 33–35 頁s:

However, when the robot is so similar that it may be momentarily mistaken for real, the transition has a local minimum characterized by a sudden decrease of familiarity, the "uncanny valley"—a dip of frustration due to unmet expectations.

2006, Sebastiano Bagnara, Gillian Crampton Smith, Theories and Practice in Interaction Design:

Almost human in appearance, yet not quite, the characters in 3-D computer animations are more disturbing than overt caricatures. The realm these creatures occupy is called the uncanny valley […]。

2007, Jonathon Keats, Control + Alt + Delete: A Dictionary of Cyberslang:

More unusual is perhaps the appropriation of a psychoanalytical theory to robotics–which is, in effect, what the uncanny valley aims to do. Mori's own descriptions of the uncanny follow a similar pattern to Freud's, where he indicates the kinds of events, states, processes or objects that might provoke the uncanny valley, particularly the theme of the dead.

status quo

源自拉丁語 status (“状态，境况”)（有时作斜格形式statu）+ quō (“在其中...的东西”, 关系代词)，quī (“...的东西”, 关系代词)的斜格，即“所处在的状态”。

“As a black woman,” Jemisin tells me, “I have no particular interest in maintaining the status quo. Why would I? The status quo is harmful, the status quo is significantly racist and sexist and a whole bunch of other things that I think need to change. With epic fantasy there is a tendency for it to be quintessentially conservative, in that its job is to restore what is perceived to be out of whack.”

What most delights us today in Candide is not the 'conte philosophique', nor its satire, nor the gradual emergence of a morality and vision of the world: instead it is its rhythm. With rapidity and lightness, a succession of mishaps, punishments and massacres races over the page, leaps from chapter to chapter, and ramifies and multiplies without evoking in the reader's emotions anything other than a feeling of an exhilarating and primitive vitality.

to place in the servitude of somebody

In spite of the importance of this route it remained until a few years ago very insecure. Overhung almost its entire length by the inaccessible fastnesses of Lololand, the passing caravans dared journey only with convoy, and even then were frequently overwhelmed by raiders from the hills, who carried off both trader and goods into the mountains, the former to lifelong servitude.

1913, Elizabeth Kimball Kendall, A Wayfarer in China

The Enlightment worldview, which considered the order of "Nature" as a basis and, at the same time, the subject of explorations of scientific natural sciences, has, at the same time, considered this order as a criterion of the artistically-aesthetic qualities of art. From an "ideological" point of view, it liberated art from its feudal religious and courtly servitude.

On my return from the meeting with Dr Fry, I spent some time walking about Tiananmen Square and took some photographs. Though I had not seen any wall posters there, I did notice six large portraits of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hua. In the middle of Tiananmen Square there were several small open air photography stalls around which people were queuing up to have themselves photographed at the great revolutionary centre.

與弗萊博士會面结束回來後，我花了一些時間在天安門廣場散步，並拍了一些照片。雖然我在那裡沒有看到任何牆報，但我確實注意到了馬克思、恩格斯、列寧、斯大林、毛澤東和華國鋒的六幅大幅畫像。在天安門廣場的中央，有幾個小型的露天攝影攤位，人們在周圍排隊等候在這個偉大的革命中心拍攝照片。

Only history can tell us where China will go from here. The Chinese leadership's brutal crackdown on students seeking fundamental democratic rights makes it difficult to chart the future. Those brave students who laid down their lives against the tanks of Tiananmen Square confirmed what I'd always believed: that no totalitarian society can bottle up the instinctive drive of men and women to be free, and that once you give a captive people a little freedom, they'll demand still more.

只有歷史才能告訴我們中國將何去何從。中國領導層對尋求基本民主權利的學生的殘酷鎮壓，使我們難以描繪未來。那些勇敢的學生在天安門廣場的坦克面前獻出了自己的生命，證實了我一直以來的信念：沒有一個極權主義社會可以遏制男人和女人爭取自由的本能動力，而且一旦你給了被俘虜的人一點自由，他們便會要求更多。

1990, Ronald Reagan, An American Life, Pocket Books, →ISBN，第 372-373 頁s:

Because it was a state visit, the Chinese government insisted on a formal arrival ceremony in Beijing. We usually conduct these ceremonies on the White House South Lawn, and the Chinese usually conduct theirs in Tiananmen Square. Bill and I debated whether we should attend a ceremony in Tiananmen Square, where Chinese authorities had used tanks to forcibly suppress pro-democracy demonstrations in June of 1989. Bill didn’t want to appear to endorse China’s repressive tactics and violations of human rights, but he understood the square’s importance over centuries of Chinese history and agreed to respect the Chinese request.

由於這是一次國事訪問，中國政府堅持在北京舉行正式的抵達儀式。我們通常在白宮南草坪舉行這些儀式，而中國人的儀式通常在天安門廣場舉行。比爾和我爭論過我們是否應該在天安門廣場參加儀式，1989年6月，中國當局曾在那裡用坦克強行鎮壓民主示威活動。比爾不想表現出贊同中國的鎮壓手段和侵犯人權的行為，但他理解該廣場在中國幾百年歷史中的重要性，同意尊重中國的要求。

The situation had its parallels to the one that developed in China that year: one might not be in the mood to talk with that country's leaders after Tiananmen Square, but if you really wanted to move them in the direction of democracy, and get them to restore the very rights they had trampled on, you were better off talking to them than driving them into hard-headed isolation.

這種情況與當年中國的情況有相似之處：在六四事件之後，人們可能沒有心情與該國領導人交談，但如果你真的想讓他們朝著民主的方向發展，並讓他們恢復他們所踐踏的權利，你最好與他們交談，而不是把他們趕到強硬的孤立狀態。

But now the best argument against Trump's parade is that it will become a cultural-war flashpoint and “the resistance” will try its utmost to ruin the affair. Just imagine a protester in a pussy hat in a Tiananmen Square-style standoff with an M1 Abrams tank.

但現在反對特朗普閱兵的最佳論據是，它將成為文化戰爭的爆發點，“抵抗力量”將竭力破壞這一事件。試想一下，一個戴著粉色猫咪帽的抗議者與一輛M1艾布蘭主力戰車進行六四事件式的對峙。

Tiananmen

來自天安門／天安门 (Tiān'ānmén)的漢語拼音轉寫，去掉隔音符號。

Jiang Zemin has almost managed to make the event disappear down an Orwellian memory hole. Even in Western countries, sub-editors have taken to calling it the ‘Tiananmen crackdown’, rather than ‘massacre’, making it seem as insignificant as the endless stories about routine ‘crackdowns’ on smuggling, prostitution, counterfeit goods, VAT forms or corruption, which provide the stuff of daily reporting here in China.
#*:: 江澤民幾乎成功地使這一事件消失在一個奧威爾的忘怀洞中。即使在西方國家，編輯們也習慣稱其為“天安門鎮壓”，而不是“大屠殺”，使其看起來就像中國日常報導中無休止的“打擊”走私、賣淫、假貨、增值稅表或腐敗的故事一樣微不足道。

2001, Jasper Becker, ‘‘Comrade Jiang Zemin does indeed seem a proper choice’, London Review of Bookshttps://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v23/n10/jasper-becker/comrade-jiang-zemin-does-indeed-seem-a-proper-choice, vol. 23, no. 10:

像許多北京的地標性建築——太和門、文华殿、武英殿一樣，天安門的名字是抽象的、絕對的，是“偉大的舵手”毛澤東留下的稱號，對他的崇拜仍然存在於他在廣場上的陵墓中，以及廉價出售的紀念品中。

Like many Beijing landmarks - the Gate of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Literary Glory, the Hall of Martial Valour - Tiananmen 's name, "The Gate of Heavenly Peace", is abstract and absolute, an appellation bequeathed by Mao Zedong, "The Great Helmsman," whose cult still lives on in his mausoleum in the square, and in the sale of kitsch Maomorabilia.

Even in the midst of the full swing of fancy, swayed to and fro by the many currants of thought that arise out of a single word, snatches of the verse from which the flight was taken will suddenly appear on the surface like a refrain or a keynote, showing that in reality there is a connexion, though hidden to the uninitiated.
