#新周刊早晚安# 从油镬跳入火堆，又从火堆再跳入油镬。移民不过是一个虚假的希望。而希望从来无所谓有，无所谓无的。赵眉不再跟我讲关于温柔、爱、关怀。她和我在这人生的各种歧途之间奔走，已经劳累不堪──但正如希望，光明坦直的道路，也无所谓有，无所谓无的。

晚安，各位。

#Jenny六周笔译特训营[超话]##Jenny六周笔译特训营##翻译硕士##mti##考研[超话]#分享两个近期外刊中关于打疫苗的地道表述：

第一个是一则小新闻的标题：the jabbed and jabbed-nots 不读外刊的同学看了可能一头雾水 其实就是打过疫苗和没打疫苗的人的意思 jab的基本意思的捅，刺，在英式英语里做名词有预防针的意思，做动词表示打预防针。这个构词也是很有意思，类似的有the haves and have-nots 有钱的和没钱的，也就是富人和穷人。

第二个是一个句子里出现了“describe people who have not been vaccinated as sitting ducks” 这个sitting ducks 字面意思是坐着的鸭子，其实是"易被攻击的对象"之义。其实也很好理解，坐着的鸭子动不了，毫无反抗能力。这句话是指责没打疫苗的人就像活靶子，容易招致病毒攻击。

越学英语越觉得，语言，真是学无止境，学久恒新。
