Trump’s Abrupt Shifts in Middle East Unnerve U.S. Allies
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK, BEN HUBBARD and DAVID M. HALBFINGER

約翰·阿爾伯特·鮑爾(1882年7月4日-1918年11月20日)是瑞典插畫家。他的主要作品是關於人文風景和神話的,但他也創作肖像畫。他最著名的插畫作品是他早期創作的《侏儒和巨魔》("Among Gnomes and Trolls"),創作自一本瑞典民間傳說和神話故事選集。



歐文·埃克朗談鮑爾:
是的,約翰·鮑爾,他就在這裡,嘴角邊黏著一個菸斗。他時不時地吹出一團打轉的棕色煙霧,這煙升入靛藍色並灑滿陽光的空中。他還從微微打開的窄小嘴唇中喃喃地說著什麼,這些話有時並不好理解。但是我嘛,掌握其中的要領已經很多年了,所以理解了其中的大部分意思。
(Yes, there he was, John Bauer, with his brown, eternal pipe glued to the corner of his mouth. Now and then he blew a small cloud of brown troll smoke straight up into the turquoise-bleu, sun-sparkling space. And muttered something far behind his tight, narrow lips—not always so easy to decipher. But I, having had the key for many years, understood most of it.)[19]







The first look at an hispid hare in 34 years. COURTESY OF BED KHADKA
THE POPULATION OF THE SOUTH Asian hispid hare has declined since it was placed on IUCN’s endangered red list in 1986. Human migration into the hare’s low-grasslands habitat and controlled grassland burning to develop healthy grazing areas are partly to blame. In Nepal, scientists last spotted the furry creature in 1984 at Chitwan National Park and believed the mammal was long gone. However, a new photo of a baby hare proves the hispid hare hasn’t left us.

作名詞用則可以指北歐神話中躲在洞穴裏的食人山怪,兩個意思合併了,正好點出了網上無賴的行徑:躲在暗處(網上無賴大多數是匿名的、或用化名而不露真身),用言詞刻意挑釁以引人上釣。「釣」的是甚麼呢?就是要被挑釁的人情緒失控、露出弱點或醜態…
