Milkshake Duck - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkshake_Duck

Milkshake Duck is an Internet meme that describes phenomena that are initially perceived as positive, only to soon after be revealed as deeply flawed. Oxford Dictionaries defined the term as "a person or character on social media that appears to be endearing at first, but is found to have an unappealing back story", but did ...

本月，澳大利亞的麥考瑞字典宣布，“奶昔鴨”一詞為該字典的2017年度詞語。 Erica Yoon/Roanoke Times, via Associated Press

“奶昔鴨”(Milkshake duck)沒能進入牛津字典，但本月，這個詞語受到了澳大利亞的麥考瑞字典(Macquarie Dictionary)的表彰，宣佈為該字典的2017年度詞語。

有點困惑？ “就算你不知道這個詞，你也知道這種現象，”委員會在其宣布中表示。

當一個人短暫出名，但迅速因為過去不光彩的不端行為曝光而褪去光環，這一詞語描述的就是這種現象。委員會表示，這個用法在許多方面都捕捉下了過去一年的各種事件。

關於這一去年遍布網上的現象，澳大利亞漫畫家本·沃德(Ben Ward)在2016年寫下了一條荒唐的推文。

“網上每個人都喜歡奶昔鴨，這個可愛的鴨子會喝奶昔！*五秒鐘後*我們很遺憾的告訴你，這隻鴨子是種族主義者”。

沃德去年夏天告訴我們，這個笑話是為了嘲諷社交媒體加速人們恭維及後續反彈不可思議的能力。當時我們對這個“米姆”的迅速火爆進行了一番分析。 “我沒想嘲笑任何人——我和其他人一樣，都容易受到它的影響，”沃德補充說。

一款汽車玩具轉蛋說明書

轉蛋機

香港的扭蛋機，以八達通付款。

轉蛋或稱扭蛋（ガシャポン，GASHAPON，或GACHAPON），是對於被包裝起來，（通常但不是全部都會）放入轉蛋販賣機裡販售的玩具等物品的形式。此一概念最早源自美國，約於1920年起開始。剛開始是放在雜貨舖門口，給小朋友投著好玩的，裡面多是口香糖、零食，或是一些小玩具，外面並沒有塑膠蛋殼包裝。後來這種販賣方式傳到日本，遂在日本發揚光大，成了世界上扭蛋最大的供應商。一個轉蛋的典型內容是一個可以打開成兩半的塑膠蛋殼，在裡面裝有玩具和說明書。

轉蛋玩具通常是根據一些流行於日本漫畫、電玩、動畫裡面的角色而製成。轉蛋會放在一台轉蛋機裡面，將錢投入機器中後，用手去旋轉開關，一個轉蛋就會掉下來。大部分轉蛋會出成一個系列，每個系列通常會有6到十幾種玩具不等。當你去旋轉轉蛋機時，你無法決定掉下來的玩具是否是那個系列中你最想要的，而這也是許多人覺得玩轉蛋的樂趣之一（亦是許多人掉入深淵的開端）。有些人會想要收集整套系列的玩具，但由於常常會轉到重複的轉蛋，轉到缺少的最後一顆轉蛋並不容易，因此整套齊全的轉蛋如果出賣的話，可以賣到比原價更高的價格。由於轉蛋的汰換速度很快，有些收集轉蛋的玩家會先將轉蛋保留幾年之後再賣出，通常也會賣到更高的價格。

轉蛋說明書上通常會有整套玩具系列的圖片，以及注意事項、版權聲明或廣告等等。有些代理公司會用一些遊戲裡面比較珍貴的東西來吸引大家去買點卡去轉蛋。

"Bollywood"

寶萊塢（英語：Bollywood；印地語：हिन्दी सिनेमा）是位於印度孟買的廣受歡迎的電影工業基地的別名。有些純粹主義者對這個有模仿味道的名字十分不滿，但以目前情況來看「寶萊塢」這個名字會被繼續沿用下去，畢竟在《牛津英語詞典》中已經有了自己的條目。

寶萊塢也被廣義稱作是「印度電影」，不過烏爾都語詩歌在這裡也相當常見，同時英語的對白和歌曲所占的成分也正在逐年增加。不少影片中的對白中都有英語單詞短語，甚至整個句子。一些電影還被製成兩種或三種語言的版本（使用不同語言的字幕，或者不同的音軌）。

寶萊塢和印度其它幾個主要影視基地如克萊塢、塔萊塢（泰米爾語 - Kollywood，泰盧固語，孟加拉語——Tollywood，坎拿達語和馬拉亞拉姆語等）構成了印度的龐大電影業，每年出產的電影數量和售出的電影票數量居全世界第一，其製作的電影是以印地語為主要語言，特色是時間長、兼有大量歌舞場面。

近幾年，寶萊塢電影內容也力求革新，出現了許多兼具藝術性、原創性、娛樂性的佳作。印度的教育問題，也使這幾年出現許多探討教育的佳作。如探討教育本質的《心中的小星星》、以戲謔方式批判大學教育並成為最賣座寶萊塢電影的《三個傻瓜》、探討印度回教徒在911事件後在美國遭受歧視的《我的名字叫可汗》，以及具有女權思想的《救救菜英文》。

Etymology

The name "Bollywood" is a portmanteau derived from Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood (in California), the center of the American film industry.^[17] The naming scheme for "Bollywood" was inspired by "Tollywood", the name that was used to refer to the cinema of West Bengal. Dating back to 1932, "Tollywood" was the earliest Hollywood-inspired name, referring to the Bengali film industry based in Tollygunge (in Calcutta, West Bengal), whose name is reminiscent of "Hollywood" and was the centre of the cinema of India at the time.^[18] It was this "chance juxtaposition of two pairs of rhyming syllables," Holly and Tolly, that led to the portmanteau name "Tollywood" being coined. The name "Tollywood" went on to be used as a nickname for the Bengali film industry by the popular Calcutta-based Junior Statesman youth magazine, establishing a precedent for other film industries to use similar-sounding names, eventually leading to the coining of "Bollywood".^[19] "Tollywood" is now also popularly used to refer to the Telugu film industry in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

The term "Bollywood" itself has origins in the 1970s, when India overtook the United States as the world's largest film producer. Credit for the term has been claimed by several different people, including the lyricist, filmmaker and scholar Amit Khanna,^[20] and the journalist Bevinda Collaco.^[21] Bollywood does not exist as a physical place. Some deplore the name, arguing that it makes the industry look like a poor cousin to Hollywood.^[17][22]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nebraska Crossing Outlet Mall (Gretna, Nebraska, 2004).

An outlet store or factory outlet is a brick and mortar or online storein which manufacturers sell their stock directly to the public, cutting out the middle-men. Traditionally, a factory outlet was a store attached to a factory or warehouse, sometimes allowing customers to watch the production process such as in the original L.L. Bean store. In modern usage, outlet stores are typically manufacturer-branded stores such as Gap or Bon Worth grouped together in outlet malls. The invention of the factory outlet store is often credited to Harold Alfond, founder of the Dexter Shoe Company.

History[edit]

Merrimack Premium Outlets in New Hampshire in 2012

Outlets first appeared in the eastern United States in the 1930s. Factory stores started to offer damaged or excess goods to employees at a low price. After some time, the audience expanded to include non-employees.^[1] In 1936, Anderson-Little (a men's clothing brand) opened an outlet store independent of its existing factories. Until the 1970s, the primary purpose of outlet stores was to dispose of excess or damaged goods.

In 1974, Vanity Fair opened up the first multi-store outlet center in Reading, Pennsylvania. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, outlet malls grew rapidly in the United States. A typical outlet mall in the U.S. is opened with between 100,000 to 200,000 square feet (about 1 to 2 hectares) of retail space. This can gradually increase to 500,000 to 600,000 feet (around 5 hectares). The average outlet mall has an area of 216,000 feet.^[1] In 2003, outlet malls in the U.S. generated $15 billion in revenue from 260 stores.

The number of U.S. malls increased from 113 in 1988 to 276 in 1991 and to 325 in 1997^[1] and 472 in 2013.^[2]

Outlet malls are not an exclusively American phenomenon. In Canada, the Dixie Outlet Mall dates from the late 1980s, and was followed by Vaughan Mills in 1999, and Toronto Premium Outlets in 2013. In Europe, retailer BAA McArthurGlen has opened 13 malls with over 1,200 stores and 3 million square feet (about 30 hectares) of retail space. Stores have also been emerging in Japan since the mid to late 1990s.^[1]

Difference between factory outlet and outlet store[edit]

At factory outlets, the products sold are from one brand only. Manufacturers who sell only their own products at a reduced price run factory outlets. On the other hand, retailers run outlet stores, and various brands are sold there.

Factory outlets have been around longer than outlet stores and were typically built next to the factories where the products were manufactured.

川普被爆本月初開會商討移民政策時，表明不歡迎海地、薩爾瓦多和非洲國家移民，「為什麼我們要讓這些屎坑國家的人來這裡？」他還說，應多收挪威和亞洲國家移民。此番言論被指種族歧視，讓美國的全球道德領導地位創新低點。
