聽來很熟啊，雖然V&A這個「異議的物件」（Disobedient Objects）去年夏天開展時，黃雨傘還沒有出現。
普天舉世，不平不義之事，無日無之，是以展室另闢ㄧ角，給各地異民鳴放抒發。香港的雨傘，敘利亞的噴漆，墨西哥的手帕，ㄧ張張憤怒或憂傷的黃紙條。英國就是英國，館裡還印了單張，教人做抗爭手銬，把腳踏車改裝成指揮車，在手機加裝低飛拍攝以及其他搞搞震功能。好樣的，夠狠，夠hardcore。

Dear Dr. Woods,
I am now a professor of Sanskrit at the Government（not the Missionary）University of Peking and I want the following American books rather badly: Three copies of Perry‘s Sanskrit Primer（a translation of Bühler’s Leitfaden）and two copies of the Jātakamālā (edited as far as I remember by Kern in the Harvard Oriental Series) May I ask you to get these books for me and send them to me c/o (按：c/o即care of) the Peking Club, Peking, as soon as possible? There is no European or American bookseller in Peking except a newsvendor who keeps a stock of 6d novels.

badness bad'ness n.
USAGE NOTE Bad is often used as an adverb in sentences such as The house was shaken up pretty bad or We need water bad. This usage is common in informal speech but is widely regarded as unacceptable in formal writing. In an earlier survey, the sentence His tooth ached so bad he could not sleep was unacceptable to 92 percent of the Usage Panel. • The use of badly with want was once considered incorrect but is now entirely acceptable: We wanted badly to go to the beach. • The adverb badly is often used after verbs such as feel, as in I felt badly about the whole affair. This usage bears analogy to the use of other adverbs with feel, such as strongly in We feel strongly about this issue. Some people prefer to maintain a distinction between feel badly and feel bad, restricting the former to emotional distress and using the latter to cover physical ailments; however, this distinction is not universally observed, so feel badly should be used in a context that makes its meaning clear. • Badly is used in some regions to mean "unwell," as in He was looking badly after the accident. Poorly is also used in this way. In an earlier survey, however, the usage was found unacceptable in formal writing by 75 percent of the Usage Panel.
Our Living Language Most people might think that the slang usage of bad to mean its opposite, "excellent," is a recent innovation of Black English. While it is of Black English origin, this usage has been recorded for over a century; the first known example dates from 1897. Even earlier, beginning in the 1850s, the word appears in the sense "formidable, very tough," as applied to persons. Whether or not the two usages are related, they both illustrate a favorite creative device of informal and slang language-using a word to mean the opposite of what it "really" means. This is by no means uncommon; people use words sarcastically to mean the opposite of their actual meanings on a daily basis. What is more unusual is for such a usage to be generally accepted within a larger community. Perhaps when the concepts are as basic as "good" and "bad" this general acceptance is made easier. A similar instance is the word uptight, which in the 1960s enjoyed usage in the sense "excellent" alongside its now-current, negative meaning of "stiff."
