President Trump has disparaged NATO’s huge new headquarters as too expensive. But for this frequent visitor, it was a needed replacement for the ramshackle old structure. I once nearly lost my foot going through a rotten floor thrown together when Charles de Gaulle threw NATO out of France in 1966.

Dear Liang and HC,
1980 年左右去過美國的人，會發現有一家 Radio Shack 的專賣電子產品的連鎖店相當顯眼，依據維基百科：
The company was started as "Radio Shack" in 1921 by two brothers, Theodore and Milton Deutschmann, who wanted to provide equipment for the then-nascent field of amateur, or ham radio.
所以創店兩兄弟似乎意指他們的店是專賣 radio 產品的 shack，也就是說賣無線對講機(如火腿族 ham)設備的小棚子，雖然後來 Radio Shack 已經進駐各大 shopping mall.

shack
Pronunciation: /ʃak/
Translate shack | into French | into German | into Italian | into Spanish noun
verb
[no object] (shack up) informalOrigin:
late 19th century: perhaps from Mexican jacal, Nahuatl xacatli 'wooden hut'. The early sense of the verb was 'live in a shack' (originally a US usage)
A shack is a type of small, often primitive shelter or dwelling.
It is possible that up to a billion people worldwide live in shacks.[1] Fire is a significant hazard in tight-knit shack settlements.[2] Shack settlements are also sometimes known as slums orshanty towns.
In Australian English shack can also refer to a small holiday house with limited conveniences, for instance it may not have running water or electricity.
In oilfield drilling (Canada) a shack can also be the word for a wellsite trailer. Structures that were once notorious among oilfield workers for being cramped, uncomfortable and generally unpleasant to be in are now no longer good enough for companies that are serious about employee retention.
