slip, slip up (MISTAKE), beat it, mulled wine


在過去的一年中,我們經歷了茲卡病毒的肆虐、巴拿馬文件的曝光、英國脫歐、川普就任美國總統……時報漫畫作者用畫筆刻畫了這讓人困惑、混亂無序的一年。

John Roberts, Fallible: Who's responsible for the oath of office slip-up--Roberts or Obama? Slate deconstructs the mangled oath of office, instructing readers on how it was supposed to go down, complete with video.


Most presidents traditionally add the words So help me God at the end, as did Obama.
Here's how it went down today:
ROBERTS: (working without a text, and also without an overcoat): Are you prepared to take the oath, Senator?
OBAMA: I am.
ROBERTS: I Barack Hussein Obama ...
OBAMA: (interrupting) I Barack ...
ROBERTS: Do solemnly swear ...
OBAMA: I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear ...
ROBERTS: That I will execute the office of president to the United States faithfully...
OBAMA: That I will execute ... (pauses, smiles, waits for Roberts to put "faithfully" in correct spot)
ROBERTS: ... The off ... faithfully the pres ... the office of president of the United States...
OBAMA: The office of president of the United States, faithfully ... (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em)
ROBERTS: And will to the best of my ability ...
OBAMA: And will to [the] best of my ability ...
ROBERTS: Preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
OBAMA: Preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
ROBERTS: So help you God?
OBAMA: So help me God.
ROBERTS: Congratulations, Mr. President.

Texas Prosecutor Apologizes for Messages to His Secretary
By RALPH BLUMENTHAL

mulled wine
Red or white wine that is heated with various citrus fruits and spices such as cinnamon, cloves, allspice or nutmeg. Mulled wine is generally sweetened with sugar and often fortified with a spirit, usually brandy. Some recipes call for stirring the hot wine mixture into beaten eggs, which adds flavor and body to the beverage.
