  • The third time is the charm.

    雖然有些人把這句話翻譯成 「國父革命十次失敗,但第十次就成功了。」但是我覺得這個翻譯有失原文的魔幻/奇蹟感。

    請各位特別注意,charm 並不是魅力,而是魔力。確切來說,它是一種魔咒(同義字是 spell),請參考這個字典定義:
    "[countable] an act or words believed to have magic power" (來源)

    - UK heatwave: Top tips on how to sleep in the extreme heat
    “1. Wear cotton pyjamas
    … Dr Browning adds that if you do prefer to sleep in your birthday suit, this can also keep you cool but only if your bed sheets are made of natural fibres rather than manmade. For example, polyester fabrics do not absorb sweat, which will certainly be a recipe for a clammy and uncomfortable night.”
