They were talking of people I did not know. 'How do they spend their time there?' some one asked.

Then I, who had been sitting too long silent, raised my voice. 'Ah, that's a mysterious question, when you think of it, how people spend their time. We only see them after all in glimpses; but what, I often wonder, do they do in their hushed and shrouded hours—in all the interstices of their lives?'

'In the what?'

'In the times, I mean, when no one sees them. In the intervals.'

'But that isn't the word you used?'

'It's the same thing—the interstices—'

Of course there was a deaf lady present. 'What did you say?' she inquired, holding out her ear-trumpet for my answer.

**包衣:「奴隸﹑奴僕。譯自滿州語。清末入關前,凡所獲各部落俘虜,均編為包衣,分屬八旗。鑲黃﹑正黃﹑正白上三旗隸屬內務府,充驍騎﹑護軍﹑前鋒等營兵卒。屬下五旗則分隸王府,為私家的世僕。」所以,作者仿bondsman,鑄一新字:bondservant。不過,本書有些地方將「包衣與主人(康熙)」這一副標題轉成正標題,造成不一致。

a former Khmer Rouge henchman saying his release could pose a threat
to public order in Cambodia.

Henchmen:總統的“走狗”
在烏克蘭“電話門”事件推動下,特朗普深陷彈劾調查。除了直接導火索以外,使民主黨人對他“忍無可忍”的原因還有很多,包括在他身後勤勤懇懇的“走狗”。
這些人試圖模糊、擾亂乃至阻礙外界對這位總統的審視,為達目的不擇手段。時報觀點欄目作者米歇爾·科特爾(Michelle Cottle)將這些人稱為特朗普的“henchman” 。
Henchman起源於古英語,由hengest(公馬)和man(人)組成,最早意為新郎,後來被用來指蘇格蘭高地酋長的隨從,並在此基礎上衍生出親信、黨羽的意思,進入現代英語。由於常含貶義,henchman一詞也被翻譯為“走狗”。

Good Agricultural Practice

GAP(ジーエーピー)=適正農業規範

Good Agricultural Practice の頭文字で、直訳すると「いい農業のやり方」で、「適正農業規範」と訳されています。農産物生産の各段階で生産者が守るべき管理基準とその実践のことで、 農産物の安全、環境への配慮、作業者の安全と福祉などの視点から適切な農場管理のあり方についてまとめられたものです。
一般的に冊子になっており、農産物の安全などの目的のために農場内で管理すべきポイント(作業や生産環境、投入する農業資材など)が書かれています。JGAPでは128項目の管理点があります。

 従来の日本にはなじみの薄い概念で、国際標準となっているEU圏の先進事例(Eurep GAP)を学びながら日本におけるGAPの概念普及と日本での実践方法の確立「日本版GAP=JGAP」が求められています。
