英語中用釣具和槍械等的主要部品來表示全部(The whole thing)的方式為
"hook, line and sinker" 和 "Lock, stock and barrel" 。前者多偏向受騙等。


Never argue with someone who buys ink by the barrel and paper by the ton.

馬克吐溫講過一句話:「千萬別跟那些整桶整桶買墨水的人吵架」,「整桶買墨水的人」指的是報紙,這句話是勸政治人物千萬別跟媒體為敵。

バレルロール (マニューバ)

バレルロール
バレルロール(barrel roll)とは、航空機戦闘機アクロバット機)が空中で行う機動(マニューバ)の一つ。
横転(ロール)と機首上げ(ピッチアップ)を同時に行うもので、仮想の樽の胴(バレル)をなぞるように螺旋を描くことからその名がある。緩やかに操縦桿を引き、横に倒し、結果斜め手前に倒すことにより行う。敵機の背後をとるために有効とされる機動の一つである。
進行方向と高度は変わらず位置だけが左右にずれるので、簡単に言うと飛行機の側転にあたる。人間にたとえるなら、動く歩道に乗って(幅は無視して)進行方向と直角に側転する状態が近い。この場合、体の向きや進行方向はそのままで人の位置が変わるわけであるが、飛行機の場合重力や揚力にしたがって落ちたり上がったりするので、最初に斜め上に向かいながら回る必要がある。正面から見ると半円(円の上半分)を描くような軌跡。

Lock, stock and barrel
Meaning
The whole thing.

It isn't until 1842 though, in William Thompson's collection of humourous letter 'Major Jones' Courtship', that we see the phrase as we now use it:
"All moved, lock, stock, and barrel."
Rudyard Kipling came close to giving us a definition of the term in 1891, in 'Light That Failed':
"The whole thing, lock, stock, and barrel, isn't worth one big yellow sea-poppy."
Why and how the change from 'stock, lock and barrel' was made we don't know now. It's possible that 'lock, stock and barrel' just has a better ring to it.


桶裝炸彈(Barrel bomb),或譯「桶炸彈」、「油桶炸彈」。是指一種簡易形式的無誘導炸彈,或稱飛行式IED(簡易爆炸裝置),屬於土製炸彈的一種。這種炸彈通常裝在大型的油桶或桶狀的金屬容器,內有高爆炸藥榴霰彈化學武器,使用飛機直升機投擲落下後爆炸[1]。由於這種炸彈使用了大量炸藥,但精度相當差,且又被濫用於包括難民營在內的人口群居處,其所產生的爆炸是毀滅性的[2][3][4]。批評者認為此種炸彈的特性等同恐怖武器,且根據國際公約,使用這種炸彈是違法的[5]
