Truck Crashed into Moai Statue
.
Summary:
We’ll forever remember this unnamed Moai, who was feeling the breeze and watching the world in leisure with its peers as unusual when the brakes of a truck uphill failed, causing the vehicle to knock the poor statue into pieces as well as dealing immeasurable and irreversible damage to the UNESCO World Heritage site. In retrospect, the residents of the island should never have been against banning cars from going near the Moais; as they say, “don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Language Enhancement:
Immeasurable (adj.)(無法估量的)
Measure (v.) 是「量度」，配上 –able 字尾就是「能夠量度的」，但再配上 im- 字首把意思相反，就是「無法量度的」，即是非常巨大，可修飾例如 effect「效果」和 damage「破壞」等。
In retrospect (ph.)(現在回頭看)
Retrospect (n.) 是不能單獨使用；必須與 in 一同出現，置於句首或句尾均可。它所指的「諗番轉頭」是帶有條件句III型的意思，即是現在知道了情況是這樣，回想當時可能就會作出更加合適的做法的這種意味，但使用簡單過去式也可以。
e.g. Covid-19 has caused immeasurable economic loss to the entire world.
e.g. I think I made the wrong decision, in retrospect. —————————————————
