After Five Generations, a Family Gave Back the Treasures in its Closet
Sex and Silence: What This Awards Season Tells Us About Hollywood
Whether it’s the return of steamy scenes or the lack of political speeches, the road to the Oscars holds a lot of clues about the state of the industry.

Two squads stormed into a Nairobi mall Saturday,
killing at least 39 people. Hours later, police officers dashed through
corpse-strewn corridors, trying to find the assailants. A Somali
militant group is suspected in the attack.
“Sometimes I suspect that my obituary in The New York Times,” Father Greeley once wrote, “will read, ‘Andrew Greeley, Priest; Wrote Steamy Novels.’ ”
我在2005年請問過 瑞麟兄及小讀者/ Oba 等人：
THE Berkeley Bowl Marketplace stirs up the worst kind of tomato lust.
You can't help it. The sun is beating down outside like some kind of Provençal demon 【這是什麼？】and here amid the sawdust-strewn aisles of this bland, low-lying store, there are 20 - 20! - varieties of heirloom tomatoes stacked, strewn and otherwise arrayed, taunting you, the defenseless shopper.瑞麟 to 漢清，
provençal, provençale指的是普羅旺斯的（人地事物）若指外省時，是provinçial, provinçiale
我不知道Provençal demon的真正意思，它的直譯為普羅旺斯守護神〔或惡魔〕demon為英文，法文形式為démon。既然提到蕃茄，我猜是普羅旺斯蕃茄的別名吧？九月是普羅旺斯蕃茄盛產期。若有進一步資料再回信給你。

The 600-year-old Great White Oak in Douglaston, Queens, is being dismantled after a tree expert warned that it was rotting and at risk of falling down.
It was a steamy Monday in late December, when a taxi dropped me and my girlfriend, A'yen Tran, on a nondescript road an hour south of Ho Chi Minh City, near the village of Thu Thua. The smell of sawdust wafted from a nearby boatyard. A long junk drifted down the canal, transporting rice and sugarcane. As we hopped on our bikes and rode off, nearly everything appeared green — even the air, so thick with humidity that it obscured the sun.
