snippet, goofing off, down the rabbit hole.. with a twist, tippet

The tailor worked and worked, and he talked to himself. He measured the silk, and turned it round and round, and trimmed it into shape with his shears; the table was all littered with cherry-coloured snippets.

"No breadth at all, and cut on the cross; it is no breadth at all; tippets for mice and ribbons for mobs! for mice!" said the Tailor of Gloucester.

Rabbit Hole：掉入未知的“兔子洞”


在開放“二胎”政策已經四年但成果並不如意的今天，如果你想了解中國這項宏大的人口工程實驗的前身或者說根源所在，也許可以看看《獨生之國》這部紀錄片。


上週，時報影評欄目發表了這部關於獨生子女政策的紀錄片的影評 ，稱其“以一種毫不畏懼的有力視角審視了中國的計劃生育政策”；觀影者將跟隨導演王男栿的敘述，走進一個調查的“兔子洞”(Rabbit Hole)。

Rabbit hole直譯為“兔子洞”，來自童話故事《愛麗絲漫遊奇境記》。在書中，主角愛麗絲從兔子洞掉入了一個異境世界，開啟了她奇妙的旅程，故而rabbit hole被引申為“一種複雜、奇異或未知的狀態和情景”。電影《獨生之國》展開的就是一副這樣的圖景。揭開歷史的面紗，你將看到一個殘酷而真實的複雜世界。

Infinitesimally deep and complex, venturing too far down is probably not that great of an idea. Taking hallucinogenic drugs can be considered "tripping" down the rabbit hole, but it is also explored through philosophical and existential thinking.
