【《天能TENET》片名的秘密？
無爆雷！超燒腦的英文回文大解析】

有人跟我一樣衝首日去看《天能》嗎？😆

今天跟老哥Wesley去看IMAX版天能
雖然很可惜我錯過了電影開場
但不影響整體的娛樂感
而且諾蘭這次的動作戲很強！
拍攝執行也很厲害⋯⋯

但因為多數人應該還沒看過
所以這次便先不聊電影
來聊聊電影片名的語言趣味

-

《天能》的英文片名「TENET」
正讀反讀都一樣
也就是所謂的「回文」Palindrome
（亦作迴文）

英文還有很多回文單字：
前夕 eve
層次 level
中午 noon
雷達 radar
女士 madam
賽車 racecar
謀殺 murdrum

-

其實不只單字，句子也能呈現回文：
“Was it a rat I saw?”
“Never odd or even.”
“Do geese see God?”
“A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!”

倒著唸還真的發音都一樣！
是不是超有趣的呢？

“Is it crazy how saying sentences
backwards creates backwards
sentences saying how crazy it is?”

-

甚至還有人創作一長串的回文詩：

"Dammit I'm Mad" by Demetri Martin

Dammit I'm mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level "Mad Dog".
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I'm a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I'm it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I'd assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
"Sir, I deliver. I'm a dog"
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I'm mad.

看完後覺得超級燒腦，只能說：

🖐🏽 五分鐘來關心國際時事— 台灣 🇹🇼

指導台灣走向民主之路的李登輝逝世，享年97歲。
📰 Lee Teng-hui, Who Guided Taiwan on Its Path to Democracy, Dies at 97

As president, Lee dismantled the authoritarian regime that the Nationalist Party imposed on the island after World War II.

📌 文章的標題和次標題一針見血告訴讀者帶領 (guide) 台灣邁向民主 (democracy) 的前總統李登輝 (Lee Teng-hui) 去世 (die)，享年97歲。他拆卸 (dismantle) 國民黨 (the Nationalist Party) 在二次大戰 (World War II) 後，在島嶼 (指台灣) 所施加的獨裁體系 (authoritarian regime)。

Lee Teng-hui, who as Taiwan’s first native-born president steered the island’s transition to democracy, became its first popularly elected leader and championed a sense of Taiwanese identity separate from mainland China, died on Thursday. He was 97 years old.

📌 這一段簡述李登輝的過去：台灣第一位土生土長的 (native-born) 的總統、第一位被大眾選出來 (popularly elected) 的領袖 (leader) ，以及捍衛 (champion) 與中國大陸 (mainland China) 不同的台灣身份感 (a sense of Taiwanese identity)。

Mr. Lee passed away at 7:24 p.m. local time at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, where he had been receiving treatment since February after choking on milk, according to Taiwan’s state-owned Central News Agency.

📌 這段引述中央通訊社的消息：李登輝在當地時間(local time)下午7時24分於台北榮總醫院去世。

As Taiwan’s president from 1988 to 2000, Mr. Lee dismantled the authoritarian regime that his Nationalist Party - which once governed mainland China - imposed on the island after World War II. He put in place reforms to allow Taiwanese people to directly elect their leaders, paving the way to a vibrant multiparty democracy.
Mr. Lee redefined relations with Beijing, which claims Taiwan as its own. Setting aside decades of hostilities, he opened dialogue with China’s Communist Party in the early 1990s to facilitate economic and other links that eventually turned the mainland into Taiwan’s largest trading partner - a dependence Beijing has subsequently tried to exploit in an effort to assimilate the island.

📌 這段進一步解釋他如何推動台灣民主：實施改革，允許台灣人直接選舉 (directly elect)領袖，並為多黨民主 (multiparty democracy) 鋪路 (pave the way)。他也重新定義 (redefine) 與北京的關係 (relations)，與中國共產黨 (China’s Communist Party) 展開對話 (open dialogue with) 以促進經濟和其他聯繫 (link)。

But Mr. Lee also became a target of scorn for China, which resented his advocacy for Taiwanese sovereignty and denounced him as a separatist. Even some American officials saw him as a troublemaker who inflamed tensions between Washington and Beijing, culminating most dramatically in a military standoff in the Taiwan Strait from 1995 to 1996.

📌 這段解釋他對台灣主權 (Taiwanese sovereignty) 的支持 (advocacy)， 讓他成為中國所鄙視的目標 (target of scorn)，一些美國官員也視他為搗亂者 (troublemaker)，他激起 (inflame) 美國和中國之間的緊張關係 (tensions)。

In Taiwan, Mr. Lee became a divisive figure in a political landscape that was becoming more partisan. Admirers hailed him as the “father of Taiwan” who shattered the myth that democracy was unsuited for Chinese societies. Supporters of unification with China reviled him as a political chameleon. Independence activists revered him as a spiritual leader, crediting him with seeding broad acceptance of a Taiwanese identity. His ideas influenced generations of local politicians, including current President Tsai Ing-wen, a former national-security consultant to Mr. Lee.

📌 這段在說明，李登輝是一位在政治上的分裂人物 (divisive figure)。崇拜者 (admirer) 贊揚 (hail) 他為台灣之父 (the father of Taiwan)，支持與中國統一 (unification) 的人士則是辱駡 (revile) 他為政治變色龍 (political chameleon)。支持獨立 (independence) 積極分子(activist) 崇敬(revere)他為精神領袖 (spiritual leader)。

Philadelphia 76ers select Markelle Fultz as No. 1 pick in NBA Draft - and here is the video of the, being picked in the first pick

The Philadelphia 76ers have put The Process in the hands of Washington guard Markelle Fultz.

Fultz, the 6-foot-4 guard, was selected No. 1 overall in the NBA draft Thursday night and joined former LSU guard Ben Simmons as consecutive top picks for the Sixers.

Widely reviled and also admired, the Sixers' plan to go from worst-to-first by openly stripping the roster bare of talent to lose and gobble draft picks has resulted in Joel Embiid, Simmons and now Fultz.

Embiid and Dario Saric will finish in the top three when rookie of the year results get announced on June 26, and Simmons is expected to be ready for next season after recovering from foot surgery.

Embiid welcomed Fultz to Philly with a tweet - what else ? - where he proclaimed the new nickname was FEDS : Fultz, Embiid, Dario, Simmons.
