Hot-metal type printing became obsolete 40 years ago. But not all of the old fonts and machines have been consigned to museums or melted down
Last month we said it was time for Brazil's beleaguered president to go. After voting on Dilma Rousseff's impeachment, a committee of Brazil's lower house of Congress has decided it thinks so too. Do you?
Wrong Place, Wrong Time
The Nazi-Soviet pact of 1939 consigned the Baltic States to Moscow's sphere of influence. Arrests, deportations and executions followed.

今天翻看書林的《引經據典說英文：莎士比亞篇》（http://-----www.books.com.tw/products/ 0010014053），隨便便看到兩處誤譯。
其中一處在解Put money in thy purse之語一篇。作者說：Insisting that he is bound to Roderigo by the indestructible cables of true friendship, Iago self-servingly orders his dupe to keep putting money in his purse. His other advice—to become a soldier, and to get a man's beard even if he has to get a phony one—merely marks time between the repetitions of "put money in thy purse."From: http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/put-money- thy-purse最後一句被解成：「只是標示兩句"put money in thy purse."之間的時間」
我這信寫得有點沒頭沒腦，但要寫清楚恐得費千字，這裡只是供有興趣者自己進一步查考。還有就是， 我知道原文是什麼是前陣子剛好在網上看過，印象深刻。
補充
劇中人Iago那話是要Roderigo 多弄點錢，好幫他買禮物打動Roderigo 暗戀之有夫之婦的芳心（ 其實是想中飽）。他的其他建議都是marks time。

我的【莎士比亞用字辭典】不在身邊。Oxford Dictionaries 網：mark time(Of troops) march on the spot without moving forward.6.1Pass one’s time in routine activities until a more interesting opportunity presents itself:we’re all just marking time, waiting for Wednesday

但外面的那些傢伙都做的不錯，還是什麼一直磨蹭在這樣的地方。
