Increasing Ecological Debt on Earth Overshoot Day
September 23 marked the day when people have used all the resources nature will generate this year, according to Global Footprint Network.
Earth Overshoot Day marks the day when humanity begins living beyond its ecological means. Beyond that day, we move into the ecological equivalent of deficit spending, utilizing resources at a rate faster than the planet can regenerate in a calendar year. Mathis Wackernagel from the Global Footprint Network speaks to Living Planet about the ways to change the bottom line.

At issue is whether plaintiffs have the right to sue when the products that hurt them had met federal standards.
"Globalization has gone a little bit too far. It has overshot," Jen said. "We're not saying Asia is going to crumble, but we are saying Asia enjoyed extraordinary conditions in the past. Now the conditions are changing very quickly because of the energy shock, and Asia is coming under pressure."

hc讀一則新聞
U.K. police released the names of two men suspected of being involved in last week’s failed bombings. Prime Minister Blair apologized for the shooting death of a Brazilian man, but said a police shoot-to-kill policy would remain in place.

his must-see, action-filled thriller. When a cunning murderer vanishes into the rugged mountains of the Pacific Northwest, pursuing FBI agent Warren Stantin (Poitier) must exchange familiar city streets for unknown wilderness trails. Completely out of his element, Stantin is forced to enlist the aid of expert tracker Jonathan Knox (PLATOON\'S Tom Berenger). It\'s a turbulent yet vital relationship they must maintain in order to survive ... and one that becomes increasingly desperate when Knox\'s girlfriend Sarah (Kirstie Alley) becomes the killer\'s latest hostage.

Poitier plays an FBI agent who blew an arrest and wound up with a dead civilian, and has tracked the (unseen) thief/killer into the Pacific Northwest. Berenger plays a tracker, whose girlfriend runs a trail guide business. The girlfriend (Kirstie Alley in an outdoor role!) has taken her latest group of travelers out into the woods, and Poitier believes that the killer is among them. If that\'s not bad enough, a deadly storm looks like it\'s coming on. 】

小譯者 留言：
shoot-to-kill 意在「一槍斃命」。
不過，台灣卻有這麼一個有趣的反例：shoot-to-win（一槍送進總統府）。

老朋友 留言：
一槍擊斃或一槍斃命皆非正解。格殺勿論或許\\\可能較接近原意。
至於所謂的一槍送進總統府，那用德語說是 Ausgeburt des Ressentiments，沒有人會相信馬英九可以用一槍送進總統府的。

咦來了位小譯者同志? 歡迎歡迎!
套用一句流行語\"以結婚為目的的交往\"，shoot-to-kill\"以擊斃為目的的射殺\"，而非shoot-to-stop/immobilize/wound/hurt/defend
所以格殺勿論應該更達意而且頗為傳神哩！像這回倫敦警察就是五槍而非一槍。【hc補充：「報導說，住在倫敦的巴西籍男子梅尼士，二十二日上午到住家附近的車站準備搭乘北上的北線地鐵，卻被線報指出，他離開的民宅涉嫌藏匿二十一日爆炸案炸彈客，三名警察尾隨跟監，男子進入地鐵站後，因被認為行跡可疑，並開始奔跑，部署在車站內的武裝警察要求他停下，但他沒有服從，被制伏在地後，連遭五槍當場斃命。原本警方很得意，以為除掉一名恐怖份子，不料後來發現他與倫敦爆炸案根本毫不相干，英國警察局發表聲明坦承錯誤，並說誤殺造成有人喪生，是個悲劇，對此警方感到遺憾。」】
順便查了一下格殺勿論, 哇！這勿論二字原來小讀者一向都亂解:：「當場擊殺而不以殺人論罪 (教育部國語辭典)」
原來是不以殺人罪論, 小讀者還以為少說廢話不必問情由當場殺了就是...

剛剛準備好明天的專文：談shoot to kill。
它的上下文情境可以很不同，「格殺勿論」有時可以通，許\多情況則不然；
（譬如說Bush總統訪英國，美國要求採用他們規格的安全措施和配備，這遠比英國嚴密太多，所以報紙標題：美國要求 ”shoot to kill”）……
半小時前T. Blair記者會談到它：這是一種特殊情況下，授權執法人員可以用常識來處置、決策…….（當）

我原本認為小讀者 應多想些其他諸如\"以結婚為目的的交”之用法，飆其英文…
【補貼：小讀者已查出shoot-to-x 之網路資料：如shoot-to-stop/immobilize/wound/hurt/defend】

老朋友留言：
其實我看到 shoot-to-kill 時，本來想說：\"乾脆給他死！\" 呢！
不過這裡的格調比較文雅，所以才用了 \"格殺勿論\"。
對待布希的安全規格，那當然是要 \"閒雜人等勿近，違者不問原由，格殺勿論\"
--
\"以結婚為目的的交往\" 稱之曰 \"必婚交往\" 或委婉一點說 \"先友後婚\" 或粗俗些 \"先有後婚\" 都可以。
\"以斃命為目的的槍擊\" 稱之曰 \"必殺擊\" 或古典一點說 \"格殺勿論\" 或乾脆些 \"給他死\" 應該也可以。
布希訪英要求英國下 \"必殺令\"，這其實是很平常的事，否則奧地利皇太子在薩拉耶佛遇刺怎會惹出第一次世界大戰呢？

我常用的CALD在SHOOT有一例（沒多說明）：
The troops were told to shoot to kill.
(from Cambridge Advanced Learner\'s Dictionary)
我們談的「shoot-to-kill policy」已將 SHOOT TO KILL轉為形容之專名，多用在震暴等等場合的軍隊警察之開槍指示。
一般槍械用法之目的
可以如小讀者說的，shoot-to-stop/immobilize（警告之）；自衛之defend【如 Settlers were only legally allowed to shoot in self-defense, and almost always forbidden to shoot to kill. Sometimes the settlers were told to shoot ...】….
軍隊警察等接受到之命令可以是開槍，但不擊要害，這稱為SHOOT TO wound/hurt ，如
Non-Lethal Weapons Shoot to Hurt 等等。
