All three papers also front yesterday's deadly hotel bombing in Pakistan, one of the most catastrophic terrorist attacks in the nation's history.
One of the most treasured items in my personal library is a tiny volume of "little poems" entitled 憶 which 俞平伯 dedicated to his sister. The volume, the preface of which is dated in March 1922, was published in December 1925. It carries a colophone (sic) by 朱自清 and highly congenial woodcut illustrations by豐子愷.

transpiration
の意味や使い方 【名詞】【不可算名詞】蒸発，発散(作用).［TRANSPIRE+
biology the process by which water is lost through the surface of a plant.
蒸散（じょうさん、transpiration）とは、植物の地上部から大気中へ水蒸気が放出される現象である。蒸散の大部分は葉の裏側で起こるが、これは、蒸散の行われる気孔が裏側に集中しているためで、葉の表側や茎、花、果実においても見られる。
単なる水分の蒸発が受動的な現象である一方、蒸散は生物体による能動的な調節、特に気孔の開閉制御が関与する点で異なる。ただし気孔を完全に閉じた状態でも、クチクラ層を通しての蒸散は行われる。気孔を通じて行われる蒸散を気孔蒸散（stomatal transpiration）、クチクラ層を通して行われる蒸散をクチクラ蒸散（cuticular transpiration）と呼ぶ。cuticular transpiration 角質層蒸騰
