turkey
15、16世纪的土耳其(Turkey)首都君士坦丁堡是连接欧亚的重要贸易枢纽,很多商人在那里销售来自非洲的商品。有一种产自非洲的大型鸟类 “珍珠鸡”,在土耳其被商人改称为“土耳其鸡”(Turkey cock) 销往英国,这种鸟后来被英国人简称为 turkey。当英国人来到美洲大陆殖民时,将当地的一种体型巨大的鸟类误认为是珍珠鸡的一种,便将这种鸟称为turkey。其实,这种鸟并不是非洲珍珠鸡的同类,而是北美特有的火鸡,后来成为了北美感恩节的常见佳肴。

escape
你玩过密室脱逃 (Room Escape) 吗?试想一下自己被困在一间门被锁上的房间里,在规定的时间内,必须依靠各种细节进行推理,再加上各种道具的配合才能把里面的每一扇门都打开,最终实现“逃”出去。是不是很有意思?这个游戏也恰恰说明了“escape”这个词最核心的意义: (从……) 逃走。

小贴士
电脑键盘上的“Esc键”你经常用吗?其实,Esc键就是英语escape的缩写,这个按键也叫做escape key, 起到退出或取消的功能。想一想Esc键和“逃走”有什么联系?

Futhermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. With this in mind, perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right,and not against its original source.
