5月9日,有网友爆料自己和他的外国朋友遇到的尴尬事,称在篦箕巷附近的一个宣传牌上,“TOURISM ZONE”竟被写成了“TOUR SM ZONE”,活生生地将“旅游区”变成了“旅游性虐区”,惹的老外直呼“真开放!”
“旅游区”成“旅游性虐区
发帖人“penelope”在帖子中称,其一个老外朋友要回伦敦了,想在回国前看看常州的景点,于是约好9日中午一起去西瀛里街区转一圈。“当我们走到西瀛门附近的时候,看到了一块介绍常州旅游区的牌子,上面有中英文介绍,老外朋友看得很仔细,当时他还开玩笑地说能不能找出点中式英文翻译。”后来一群人走到篦箕巷,尴尬的场面来了,“老外抬头看了一下牌子的标题就笑了!”原来,牌子上“TOURISM ZONE”的“TOURISM”少了一个“I”,硬生生地将“旅游区”变成了“TOUR SM ZONE”(旅游性虐区)。发帖人还贴出照片为证,“老外笑着说这个景区真开放啊!”
面对如此尴尬,发帖人希望有关部门能尽快将“I”补上,“以免下次老外去玩时再出现这样的尴尬!”
相关部门称已去现场整改
昨天中午,记者按照发帖人贴出的照片在南大街附近寻找。走到... 阅读全帖 |

o***s 发帖数: 42149 | 3 科技博客Business Insider近日就19位声名远扬的成功人士25岁时在做什么进行了盘点。有的人年纪轻轻便知道自己想要做什么,然后为之而不懈努力。有的人得经过不断彻底改造自己,不停更换转行转业,才找到适合自己的工作。成功之路并不总是一帆风顺,对于如今功成名就的人而言也是如此。
01. 家政女王斯图尔特在做股票经纪人
在其名字在全美家喻户晓之前,玛莎·斯图尔特(Martha Stewart)在华尔街做了五年的股票经纪人。在此之前,她还做过模特,客户包括联合利华、香奈儿等知名品牌。“当时华尔街很少女性职员……”斯图尔特接受PBS纪录片系列《MAKERS》的采访时说,“我从来不认为自己会不胜任自己的工作,我想做股票经纪人的经历让我想到了很多。”1972年,斯图尔特离开华尔街做全职母亲。一年后,她成立了一家家庭餐厅公司。
02. 亿万富翁库班在达拉斯做酒吧服务员
25岁那年,马克·库班(Mark Cuban)从印第安纳大学毕业后便迁至达拉斯。一开始他做的是酒吧服务员,后来在一家PC软件零售商当销售员。实际上他是被解雇的,因为他想要的是做成一笔交易,而不是一大早开店做生意。这帮助激发了他... 阅读全帖 |

Hog's head inn是dumbledore的弟弟经营的小旅馆。

显然这个词是猪头🐷的意思。
Hogshead还是一个液体,特别是酒的单位,一个Hogshead相当于大约一桶半葡萄酒或者
两桶啤酒,如果换算成升的话……和其他传统英国单位一样复杂……就不提了。
在莎士比亚的henry IV里面有一个Hogshead tavern。
不知道还有没有人记得Hog's head inn所在的hog's meade小镇在苏格兰的morray。
如果按照苏格兰的Clann(家族)来划分的话,大致在Clann Innes (Innes家族)的地

The fight against clothes line bans

For decades, the clothes line has had an image problem in the US but, ahead
of a rally to highlight the benefits of natural drying, is it about to be
reclaimed?
There is a new protest movement sweeping the US and at its heart are two
sticks and a piece of string.
Upon the humble clothes line, a battle line has been drawn that embodies a
