"Unlike most of his predecessors in the Oval Office, Trump shows no interest in promoting or defending democracy, the rule of law or free trade. He is all about power politics in a crude and blustering way that is a disturbing and dangerous throwback to the 19th century." https://wapo.st/3FXf66Z

與大多數前任總統不同，川普對推廣或捍衛民主、法治和自由貿易毫無興趣。他一心只想玩弄強權政治，方式粗暴無禮，令人不安，也危險地倒退回了19世紀。 https://wapo.st/3FXf66Z

儘管魯賓負責開發Google未來的網路電話，但他卻是個復古的人。

福賽斯先生和他在擔任電視主持人的 50 年時間裡形成的毫無意義的口頭禪（例如：「很高興見到你——見到你，很高興！」）之所以受到珍視，正是因為它們是復古。

Adobe buildings in Acoma Pueblo, which sits atop a 367-foot sandstone mesa.

Concho’s ancestors settled in Acoma Pueblo around 1150. They built their village on the mesa, 367 feet above the valley, positioned strategically to defend against raiders. (Presumably, not the ones from Oakland.)
The pueblo looks like a set for a Western movie. In fact, John Wayne made several films here. A Tim McGraw video and two Toyota commercials were also shot on the mesa.
