apostasy, tat, Lèse majesté


China Is the World’s Worst Polluter. Don’t Expect It to Be a Climate Crusader 2017.6


Cajoled by the U.S. for years, China has become a convert on climate change. That doesn’t mean it will fill the void as the White House turns apostate.

Of course, as most Americans understand it, Senator Obama is not a Muslim. He chose to become a Christian, and indeed has written convincingly to explain how he arrived at his choice and how important his Christian faith is to him.
His conversion, however, was a crime in Muslim eyes; it is “irtidad” or “ridda,” usually translated from the Arabic as “apostasy,” but with connotations of rebellion and treason.

I was seventeen years old, and therefore any intimacy with me was an act of Lèse majesté.

 Lèse majesté 翻譯成"背義" 似乎有點怪:


The vast majority of the world’s fairy lights, fake trees, sparkly stars and other seasonal tat is made in China
