jaywalker, Facial recognition scanners

In some cities, cameras scan train stations for the most wanted. Billboard-sized displays show the faces of jaywalkers. Facial recognition scanners guard housing complexes.

Jaywalking occurs when a pedestrian walks in or crosses a roadway illegally. The term originated with "jay-drivers", people who drove horse-drawn carriages and automobiles on the wrong side of the road, before taking its current meaning.^[1]

The term "jaywalking" is used largely in the United States where rules applicable to pedestrians are less permissive than in countries such as the United Kingdom.^[2] Legal texts in other countries use different concepts, such as Rules applicable to pedestrians in the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic.^[3] One member of this convention, the United Kingdom, does not have jaywalking laws; its Highway Code relies on the pedestrian making their own judgment on whether it is safe to cross based on the Green Cross Code. Pedestrians do have priority over turning vehicles. Rule 170 of the UK's Highway Code states that a driver should "watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way."^[4]

Origin of the term[edit]

An anti-jaywalking poster created in 1937 as part of the United States WPA's Federal Art Project

The word jaywalk is not historically neutral.^[5] It is a compound wordderived from the word jay, an inexperienced person and a curse word that originated in the early 1900s, and walk.^[6] No historical evidence supports an alternative folk etymology by which the word is traced to the letter "J" (characterizing the route a jaywalker might follow).

While jaywalking is associated with pedestrians today, the earliest references to "jay" behavior in the street were about horse-drawn carriages and automobiles in 1905 Kansas: "jay drivers" who did not drive on the correct side of the street.^[1] The term swiftly expanded to pedestrians, and by 1909, The Chanute Daily Tribune warned "The jay walker needs attention as well as the jay driver, and is about as big a nuisance."^[1]

The word was promoted by pro-automobile interests in the 1920s, according to historian Peter D. Norton.^[7]

Originally, the legal rule was that "all persons have an equal right in the highway, and that in exercising the right each shall take due care not to injure other users of the way".^[8] In time, however, streets became the province of motorized traffic, both practically and legally. Automobile interests in the USA took up the cause of labeling and scorning jaywalkers in the 1910s and early 1920s, by then the earlier term of "jay driver" was declining in use.^[9][10] The earliest citation in the Oxford English Dictionary follows in 1917.

sideburns  兩鬢鬍鬚  古代的名稱？

Wilhelm I, German Emperor, sported large sideburns. This style was often referred to as "side whiskers".

The term "sideburn" is the namesake of Ambrose Burnside (pictured)

Sideburns, sideboards,^[1] or side whiskers are patches of facial hairgrown on the sides of the face, extending from the hairline to run parallel to or beyond the ears. The term sideburns is a 19th-century corruption of the original burnsides, named after American Civil War general Ambrose Burnside,^[2] a man known for his unusual facial hairstyle that connected thick sideburns by way of a moustache, but left the chin clean-shaven.

もみあげとは、顔の横に生えた髪の毛の一部分のことであり、生え際から耳の下へと広がっている。揉み上げとも表記する。

なお、英語でsideburnsという場合は、あごひげをはやしていない状態を指す。英語において、この"sideburns"という単語は、原型の"burnsides"が19世紀に崩れたものである。元の"burnsides"は南北戦争で将官であったアンブローズ・バーンサイド^[1]にちなんでいる。彼はその普通ではない髪型、つまり、顎髭だけきれいに剃った口髭と、それにつながった濃いもみあげで有名であった。"burnsides"から"sideburn"に変わった理由はおそらくもみあげが顔の横にあるからであろう。トマス・ヒューズ（1822年 - 1896年）の小説作品である『トム・ブラウンの学校生活』(1857)の有名な悪役、ハリー・フラッシュマンは、アンブローズ・バーンサイドが有名でも将官でもなかったときにすでに、「もみあげ」を見せびらかしていたことも知られている。

吉普（Jeep，或Jeep Wrangler）是飛雅特克萊斯勒汽車旗下的一個汽車品牌、註冊商標和全資子公司^[1][2]，和所有克萊斯勒旗下的汽車型號一樣，於1998年成為戴姆勒賓士公司和克萊斯勒公司合併後的戴姆勒克萊斯勒公司的一個下屬品牌。由於jeep汽車優越的越野性能，Jeep幾乎已經成為了SUV越野汽車的代名詞。於1941年在美國俄亥俄州托萊多誕生。原本稱此種車為GP，意即多用途之意，後來由此變成「Jeep」，中文譯為吉普或吉普車，由於「Jeep」在該類型汽車中知名度很高，因此吉普已與邦迪、施樂一樣，成為了其所屬商品類型的代名詞。
