一路以來，「黑曼巴」Kobe不就是這麼勉強出來的嗎？當初看他打球，湖人球迷最不喜歡他的地方就是這小子太過勉強，天賦是有的，但他以為自己是誰？老要學着Michael Jordan擺款，在人群中硬闖硬穿，頻頻使出姿勢好看卻終成浪射的fadeaway。不過再過幾個月，再過幾年，這個孩子的fadeaway居然勉強成了真貨，大家眼睜睜地看着他真的變成了新世紀的Jordan，沒有一個曾經瞧不上他的老球迷不服氣。

ExcerptPromise of China Fades for International Banks1
1. Arrive and depart, either briefly or repeatedly; go to and fro. Shakespeare had it in The Merry Wives of Windsor (2:2): "He may come and go between you both." [Late 1300s]
2. Alternately appear and disappear, as in This rash is odd; it comes and goes. [Mid-1300s] Also see coming or going; easy come, easy go.
Buridan's ass (byoo-RUHD-uhnz ass)
noun: A situation demonstrating the impracticality of decision-making using pure reason, especially a situation involving two equal choices.
Etymology
Named after French philosopher Jean Buridan (1300-1358).
Notes
Imagine a hungry donkey standing equidistant from two identical piles of hay. The donkey tries to decide which pile he should eat first and finding no reason to choose one over another, starves to death. This paradox didn't originate with Buridan -- it's been found back in Aristotle's time. A hungry and thirsty man cannot decide whether to slake his thirst first or his hunger, and dies. Buridan, in his commentaries on Aristotle, chose a dog, but his critics, in their parody of Buridan, turned it into an ass. So Buridan's ass was named after a person who neither proposed the paradox nor picked that animal to discuss it.
Buridan studied under William of Ockham (of Ockham's razor fame).
Usage
"Unless we felt strongly enough to exert ourselves in one direction rather than another, we would do nothing, but would suffer the fate of Buridan's ass." — A.C. Grayling; Though Euphoria Will Fade, Hope Springs Eternal; The Canberra Times (Australia); Nov 12, 2008.
