Japan's industrial community harbors deep-seated fear of being beaten in the race to create next-generation technology. There are also complaints about South Korea's low corporate taxes, its cheap currency, its oligopolistic domestic market, and other advantages. But, in the final analysis, the only viable route for companies is to improve sales and to compete squarely. This makes it even more important for each side to familiarize themselves each other's capabilities through joint ventures, business collaborations and other means.

Embracing Children for Who They Are
By JANE E. BRODY
Children come into the world with pre- determined abilities, proclivities and temperaments.
'Lying beneath the tranquil settings of Yellowstone National Park in the US lies an enormous magma chamber.'
The supervolcano under Yellowstone is even bigger than previously thought. It has enough magma to fill the Grand Canyon nearly 14 times over, scientists say.http://cnn.it/1PuckRV

每個人或多或少有些癖好,而特朗普最知名的癖好,或許就是他對發推的熱愛了。他的推文數量不僅多,風格也獨樹一幟。時報漫畫師帕特里克·恰帕特(Patrick Chappatte)曾為此繪製漫畫 ,稱他是“首席推特官”(tweeter in chief)。時報一篇文章總結了特朗普的這個特質:“特朗普總統有發推、拼錯詞以及給人起犀利綽號的癖好。”(President Trump has a proclivity for tweeting, typos and trenchant nicknames.)
|
Proclivity意為癖好、傾向 ,意指趨向於選擇或經常做某事,或是對特定事物的愛好或傾向。該詞源於16世紀晚期的拉丁文詞語“proclivitas/proclivis”,由意為“向前、向下”的“pro”和意為“斜坡”的“clivus”兩部分組成。
|
在特朗普發過的推文中,有一些響噹噹的綽號:“Crooked Hillary”(騙子希拉里)、“Lyin' Ted”(說謊的特德)、“(Crazy Bernie)”(瘋狂的伯尼)等等。他曾“手殘”將“counsel”打成“council”、把“gas”打成“has”,還犯下過一些大錯誤——將“unprecedented”打成“unpresidented”。而他著名的拼寫錯誤“covfefe”含義至今仍是個謎。
