Good optics 看上去好看 (the way a situation looks to the general public. The optics of this protest will either take it to historic highs, or cause it fall apart quickly. Metaphorical expansion of optics into political and other arenas in fact dates back to the late 1970s, when it was used in the context of US President Jimmy Carter's anti-inflation policy. Interestingly, at the time, the metaphor also extended to the related adjective optical, with for example a particular course of action being described as a 'nice optical step'. Though metaphorical use of the adjective never really took off, the noun gained a foothold in political commentary throughout the 1980s, especially in Canadian English. Today it is still far more prevalent in Canadian and US English, though the current Libya conflict has led to more exposure in Britain. Optics has also gained currency 广泛接受, 广泛流传 ( the state of being commonly known or accepted, or of being used in many places: His ideas enjoyed wide currency during the last century.

The practice by a physician of waiving all or a part of the fee for services provided to a physician's office staff, other physicians and/or their families. Professional courtesy has been extended to include the waiver of coinsurance obligations or other out-of-pocket expenses for physicians or their families. II. generally refers to the etiquette extended between members of the same profession. The concept of professional courtesy is believed to have originated within the ancient practice of medicine whereby physicians provided services to other physicians without charge. However, the philosophy does not necessarily involve the same courtesy across all professions, nor is professional courtesy a mandated privilege, but is freely given at the discretion of the party extending the courtesy. While the etiquette is not limited to physicians, the medical profession is likely the oldest and best known one for having such a longstanding practice among its members. Some other well known groups that have some form of professional courtesy are attorneys, performing artists, and law enforcement officers. III. The phrase may also describe the ethical conduct of lawyers towards each other. IV. 警察间. The term has been used to refer to the practice by law enforcement officers allowing other officers to engage in traffic violations and some crimes without being reported or arrested. Some US states (such as California) issue confidential license plates to employees in law enforcement, and other public officials. The plates keep identities and addresses anonymous, allowing employees the inadvertent ability to travel on tollways without charge. Even serious offenses such as drunk driving are subject to professional courtesy discretion, and federal law assists in the process by exempting police officers and firefighters from a federal law that requires truck drivers to be blood-tested after an accident. There is a website offering law enforcement employees the purchase of a family card that they can give to friends and family to produce at a traffic stop to identify them as a family member. Critics of the ethical actions of police officers purport that where an ordinary member of the public would get a ticket, this notification card will lead the officer to overlook any violations of the law the person may have made and tell them to go on their way. The vendor of this card is explicit about the intention behind these cards. script: Have you seen Tony Allen recently? Been awhile. Week before last? He's out of town a lot. How about last Saturday night? I was off. Check the tapes? They're not tapes anymore. I could. But if you had a warrant. Let me make that call. Whatever happened to professional courtesy? Cameras everywhere. I'll bet they got cameras on the damn birds. What're they so afraid of? Beats me. Maybe losing what they got? So this guy was Homicide? How'd he end up here?

I have more in common with you, Irv, as a native Angeleno ( Angeleno [ˌandʒəˈliːnəʊ] 洛杉矶人 a native or inhabitant of Los Angeles. "Angeleno sports fans".), than I do with an immigrant from Honduras or a gangbanger from El Salvador. And my Spanish isn't that hot either. 10. What can I do for you, detective? A man named Anthony Allen was murdered over the weekend. His body was discovered yesterday in the trunk of his car up off Mulholland. Yeah, I read about it. Coroner puts time of death 死亡时间为 Saturday night. Early Sunday morning, two guys broke into his office and removed a number of surveillance devices. So, next time you send your guys in to take a hidden camera out of a target's office, you might want to find out if the target has a hidden camera of his own. So? So we have video of one of your vehicles leaving the scene. How do you think we found you? We have warrants... not cameras, audio surveillance. Legal wire, hooray. We want the tapes... from his office, from his car his phones, his house, wherever you're up on him... and why. That's confidential.

We're not having this conversation. Oh, yeah, we are. Somehow you people knew about this murder, and you sat on it. We made the appropriate phone calls. It's not our fault it took you two days to follow up on it. You have a bug in his car? Is that how you knew? Got his fucking murder on tape? It's been almost 15 years since 9/11. Now, we're working our asses off to make sure the next 9/11 doesn't happen for another 15 years. So we're not about to
compromise our entire operation to help you solve a murder that doesn't matter. It does to us. We need to know what you know about Anthony Allen. You took evidence from his office. You are like a dog with a bone ( like a dog with a bone 穷追不放 not willing to stop until you have finished dealing with something, especially a problem that is worrying you. Stubborn; persistent; relentless; dogged. ). Oh, you have no idea. We don't have his murder on tape.

Something that is germane to a situation or idea is connected with it in an important way. ...the suppression of a number of documents which were very germane to the case.

Phony income from DVD and online streaming. Ninety cents on the dollar. Feds must've known what he was up to. Bigger fish to fry. Anything from the phone records?

She had to be the center of attention. I tried to tell Tony she was bad news 不是好人, 不是好东西, 不是东西 ( someone or something regarded as undesirable he's bad news around here. ). Schmuck wouldn't listen. He was totally besotted, head over fucking heels. She feel the same about him? Hah. He got her out of porn. He bought her a house, a Porsche, put a ring on her finger. He was her fucking meal ticket 饭票. That's how she felt about him. 18. Can't sleep either? Deputy Chief Irving's son was killed tonight. Walked into the middle of a robbery. Convenience store in the Valley. That's awful. You knew him? Just to say hi to. He worked patrol, Hollywood. Last winter he transferred downtown to a desk. Command track ( Early in their careers officers would be assigned to one of five developmental tracks 职业走向, 职业发展方向: command, political, logistics, equipment management, or technical. Once assigned to a track, all future assignments would be within the designated track. Thus, officers in the command track would never receive assignments as political officers, logistics officers, equipment officers, or technical officers, and the same applied to officers in the other tracks. Officers in different functional tracks enrolled in separate courses when participating in advanced education and training and even ate in different mess halls. ). He was off the streets. Then this. 19. Hey, I thought this new contract was supposed to guarantee us separate accommodations 独立的房间, 单独的房间? It does. Somebody fucked up. Could be worse. Could be bunking with Crate or Barrel ( A crate is a shipping container, usually wooden. And a barrel is a large wooden container for storing or shipping liquids. ). 20. That woman you brought in, Eleanor Wish, she's got nothin' to do with this case. Let me call you back. And how do you know that? I interviewed her yesterday about Allen. You interviewed. She didn't even know his last name. Iverson, get a cup of coffee. I want her kicked loose 释放. Because she's your ex-wife? No, because she's got nothin' to do with this. Any of it. Well, you don't get to decide that. You should have told us how you knew her, detective. But you went about it the wrong way 选择了错误的路. You should have been straight up with us. What do you want, Captain? I want to know what your ex-wife knows about Joey Marks and his organization. Nothing. She played poker once in a while with Allen, that's it. She ever mention a guy named Tim Kirsch? Who's that? He puts money on the streets for Marks. He makes sure he gets paid back. What's he got to do with Eleanor? She's been seen with him over the years. Enough contact to open a file on her. So how do we fix this? Make us part of the case. Beginning to end. If Rykoff did this, he did it for Marks. You're using my ex wife to leverage me to get to Joey Marks. What, you get the glory, we get the paperwork while you ride off into the sunset with a guy we've been chasing for years? No, that doesn't fly. Come on, make it official. 21. I want to talk to this Joey Marks. Hah. Good luck with that. Marks keeps a very low profile these days. Ain't been seen in public in months. Why's that? The FBI has a huge throbbing hard-on 非常感兴趣 for this guy. They had an undercover agent in Marks' crew. Whoo.  Disappeared. Feebs think Marks had him whacked and buried out in the desert. 22. Oh. Brasher. It's good to see you. You too, ma'am. How're things? Okay. I mean, I'd rather be back in Hollywood, but... Well, it was a difficult situation. Yes, it was. And all said and done 不管怎么说, 话说回来, ( when/after all's said and done In the end, nevertheless. when everything is finished and settled; when everything is considered. When all is said and done, this isn't such a bad part of the country to live in after all. When all is said and done, I believe I had a very enjoyable time on my vacation. When all's said and done, the doctors did what they could for Gordon, but he was too ill to survive. ) I think you handled it pretty well. Because I didn't throw your pal Bosch under the bus? Like I said, it was a difficult situation. 23. You see Jake Buller made commander? Bullshit Buller? How? No mystery 没什么神秘的. When Tenzer was Deputy Chief of the Valley, Buller's lips were firmly glued to his ass. Oh, my God. Speaking of Deputy Chiefs, is it true Irving's gonna endorse O'Shea? That's the rumor. And if O'Shea wins, he makes Irving Chief of Police? Wouldn't be a bad deal for you. Marsha, are you implying that my lips are glued to Irving's ass? No, not glued. Puckered, maybe? Go fuck yourself. Seriously, you're doing a great job, Grace. Time you moved up. Taken the captain's exam? Not yet. Should I? Irving would put in a good word. Meet him halfway. Time you had two bars on your collar. That business with Kiz? It was a lapse in judgment 一时失差, 一时糊涂. Well you're lucky it didn't go sideways 闹出大错, 闹大了. In the old days, you'd be long gone. 24. Mom and Reggie were arguing a lot, and then all of a sudden he goes to Hong Kong. What were they are arguing about? Work. The casino. Stuff. He's coming back, Maddie. I hope so. He keeps Mom on track 正常的家. How so? When he's around, everything just works. There's food in the fridge. I get to camp on time. Mom is a whole lot calmer. What's she like now? Kind of just all over the place. And I know this is a weird thing to say because you and Mom were married and everything. But Reggie's a good guy. And I wouldn't want him to, you know, leave us for good. 25. Lieutenant. Under the shirts. Pickup's every other week. What's this? We jacked a dealer. 3 G's. My cut 我的份内所得. It's all in here. New players? Not yet. Every time I ask him about it, he gets a little hinky. They're still sniffing you out. I'd be worried if they weren't. Yeah. Don't push. Let it come to you. What if, at the end of the day, it's just Eddie Arceneaux? You know, no crew. He's the only one there is. I've been doing this a long time. Trust me. Arceneaux's just the point of the spear. Be patient. 26. I need you to do a cover sheet and fax this. Okay. All right, and wait for confirmation. Roger that. Ooh, pickin' up the lingo. Good for you. 10-4 ( Roger that! 10-4 is a way of saying "message received" in radio communications. It's also used as a way to "you got it." 10-4 is one of the so-called ten-codes, or radio signals, invented by the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International (APCO). 10-4 is an affirmative signal: it means "OK." The ten-codes are credited to Illinois State Police Communications Director Charles Hopper who created them between 1937–40 for use in radio communications among cops.), Lieutenant. 27. Did you get it straightened out 说好了吗, 说通了吗, 解决了吗? I did. So, can I go home now? Tell me about Tim Kirsch. I borrowed money from him, paid him back. That's it. Jesus Christ, Eleanor. A loan shark who works for Joey Marks? Look, it's garbage, Harry. I talked to the captain. You're going home. But he wants to know about you and Kirsch first. He does or you do? I haven't seen Kirsch in years. Before we moved to Hong Kong. How much did you borrow, Eleanor? A lot. I needed to get back on my feet and start over. Did you know he worked for Marks? Not for a fact, but I knew other players who borrowed from him. That was good enough for me. Did you know he was a criminal? Look, I didn't think he was a loan officer at Wells Fargo, but I paid him back with interest, end of story. 28. You handle the paperwork? Yeah, but we're not even halfway done with our shift. I got places to be 有事要办, 有事要做, 有地方要去, man. So, what do I tell the lieutenant? I don't know, tell him... Tell him it was a slow day on the war on drugs. There were no busts. You tell him that we know that the system's already overflowing like a backed up 憋满了的 latrine, and that we don't want to stress it any further by hauling in a bunch of dime bag turds. 29. Marks was what we call "rabise," flashy, violent. Got into business with the Russians here, then Vegas. Hm. Tony? Soft. "Amrekyan." Never had the stomach for the rough stuff 没有胃口, 没有胆量, but a magician when it comes to dirty money. How big is Marks in Vegas? Middling( 中流的. 中等的. 一般般的. moderate or average in size, amount, or rank. If you describe a quality such as the size of something as middling, you mean that it is average. The Beatles enjoyed only middling success until 1963. ...a man of middling height. "people on middling incomes". noun. bulk goods of medium grade, especially flour of medium fineness. adv. fairly or moderately. "middling rich". fair to middling (=slightly better than average): an actor of fair-to-middling ability. ). The real players 真正厉害的人物 are the Russians. See, that's who the Feds are worried about. Even they don't care that much about the rackets anymore. Except how they fund terrorism. And Broff is planning on blowing up a building? The Broff does business with people who are. Hezbollah, ISIS. The Middle East. Hell of a lot closer than that, pal. Mexico. What... what, ISIS is in Mexico? Hezbollah is. And Detroit. I'm telling you, bro, this shit's right under our noses. Hey, let's, uh, go eat outside, huh? I'll tell you how to marinate real Armenian kabobs. 30. Why'd Joey Marks order the hit on him 下追杀令, 下令杀他? He didn't. You got nothin'. Stop treating me like a donkey and fuck off. You know what? Book me and get me to a fuckin' phone. We'll go the distance on you, Lucky. Oh, yeah, and stick that smile up your ass, you fat fuck. Fuck. I'll take the gun back to L.A. tomorrow. How quick can you get it done? I'll walk it through ballistics myself. 30. His people kidnapped my ex wife and daughter. Now he says he won't hurt them if I turn you over to him. Bullshit, you wouldn't do that. You got one play here 你只有一种玩法, 只有一个旋转. You give me something, anything that gets my family back, or I swear to God, I'll hand you over to Joey Marks in a heartbeat. Who are these mutts 杂种狗 ( a pet dog, especially one that does not belong to a particular breed. A mutt is the same as a mongrel. A mongrel is a dog which is a mixture of different breeds. )? 31. I'm tracking my son's phone. Has he checked in with you yet? He's following protocol 按令行事, sir. I left him a message earlier today, he never got back to me. No cause for concern 没必要担心, 无须担心, chief. I expect to hear from him first thing in the morning. We're tracking him, too.

garbage VS rubbish VS trash VS waste VS litter VS refuse [ˈrefjus] ( 不说 garbage dump, 而说rubbish tip. garbage chute 丢垃圾的通道. dumpster = skip. In Au, When we take the bin out (not the can) it contains our rubbish (as it does in the UK). Garbage is more often used to describe something lacking in value. If we have a lot of rubbish to throw out we use a skip (like a dumpster but mostly without a lid).): The words are not synonyms because the mental pictures created in the listener's mind will be different. For anyone interested in this way of thinking about words / definitions, I encourage you to read "Louder than Words." I think the saying "one person's trash is another person's treasure" helps answer this question. Trash more often has the meaning of something discarded, whereas garbage more often carries the meaning of true refuse, often food waste. Of course, food waste can be a treasure to a gardener working on a compost pile, but I'm speaking generally here. It's not a very significant distinction, and the terms are often used interchangeably, but there are instances when they are not synonymous. This excerpt from a 1986 Orlando Sentinel article titled "Trash Vs. Garbage: Any Big Difference?" supports this general distinction in meaning: There was a little note stuck to the can. It said, in essence, that my refuse hadn't been picked up because -- and I quote -- ''trash and garbage had been mixed.'' I hate making mistakes like that. I didn't close the cover on a book of matches before striking. It was weeks before I got over the guilt. I called Georgia Waste Systems, where I have my trash/garbage account, to apologize. They were very nice and said a lot of people make the same mistake I did and they were not planning a lawsuit. As long as I had somebody on the phone who could explain, I asked, ''What is the difference between trash and garbage?'' ''Garbage,'' the woman said, ''are things that come from the bathroom or kitchen.'' ''You mean like bread you leave out for months and green things start growing on it?'' I asked. ''Precisely,'' she said. ''Trash,'' she continued, ''is basically anything else. We do not pick up leaves, for instance, or old furniture or boxes of materials that were collected when somebody cleaned out their attic.'' 词典释义: All of my definitions are from The AHD, except Rubbish, from Cambridge Advanced Learners. Litter 随手丢的垃圾: A disorderly accumulation of objects or things carelessly discarded. "The streets were filled with litter after the parade." This sentence will produce a different mental picture in a native English speaker's mind than "The streets were filled with garbage after the parade." Garbage 厨余等完全无用了的垃圾, 有臭味的, 臭气熏天的感觉: Food waste as from a kitchen / worthless or nonsensical material. Garbage usually smells bad. No one wants to root through a garbage can. People wouldn't mind as much going through the office waste basket... Waste 废品: (verb) To use, consume, or spend thoughtlessly or carelessly. Waste has an idea of leftovers or things not entirely consumed. An office waste basket would have paper, paper clips, receipts, and other things in it that are considered leftovers or weren't used because they were extraneous. This is why we say "industrial waste 工业废品," and not "industrial garbage / litter." In 100 years, hopefully, the expression "industrial waste" will be considered an unfortunate thing of the past, in the same way as "the electric chair." Rubbish: AHD--worthless material, Cambridge--waste material or things that are no longer wanted. I include the British definition because in BrE, rubbish carries a similar meaning as waste in AmE. However, I feel that regardless of the speaker's native form of English, if you were to ask them to draw pictures of rubbish or waste, there would be significant difference and similarities. Also, in BrE people say "That's a load of rubbish," or "Quit talking rubbish." In AmE people would say "That's a load of BS," or "Quit talking trash / BS." (If anyone has some better "conversions" I would welcome those.). Trash 丢弃不用的东西: To throw away or discard / worthless material. Also Empty words, worthless ideas, worthless or offensive literary material. It would seem then that trash and waste have similar meanings in some cases, but in others not so much. Waste basket and trash basket might be considered similar. But we don't say "Quit talking waste," or "You're being trashful." Refuse: Items discarded as useless or worthless. I think a refuse pile 废旧物品 is very different from a garbage heap (臭气熏天的垃圾堆). In my mind, I picture old washing machines, printers, metal parts, bike tires, computer cables, car parts, etc. Garbage heaps smell and have things that are generally of lesser value. In no way is this a scientific ordering but, I think one could order the words in terms of "grossness factor," thus: 1) Garbage 2) Trash 3) Rubbish (US perspective) / Waste 4) Litter 5) Refuse. I think it would be an interesting experiment to ask AmE or BrE speakers to describe the contents of "Rubbish bin" "Trash can," or "garbage can," and "waste basket." Because the words "rubbish and "trash" are also used in expressions such as "talk trash / rubbish," I feel that the mental images created are different for these words than for other words and may in fact produce confusion as to what should be imagined.. context possibly sorts this out. 美英澳在用词上的区别: Since I started to watch American TV programs as a boy I have always been fascinated by the different vocabulary that Americans use to describe their domestic waste. Perhaps this interest started for me with Oscar the Grouch, from Sesame Street, who lived in a garbage can and not a rubbish bin. In the US suburban sitcoms of the sixties it seemed that the father/husband characters, were, without argument, responsible for taking out the trash every week. More recently watching the urban forensic dramas I see that the garbage ends up in a dumpster (along with the dead body, several pieces of evidence and quite often a homeless person). Now the vocabulary is quite different in Australia. When we take the bin out (not the can) it contains our rubbish (as it does in the UK). Garbage is more often used to describe something lacking in value. If we have a lot of rubbish to throw out we use a skip (like a dumpster but mostly without a lid). In the US the trash collector, and in Australia the garbageman (garbo), picks up the rubbish and takes it to a dump in his garbage truck. However in the UK a dustman will pick up the rubbish in his dustcart (perhaps a refuse lorry) and take it to a tip; these are historic carryovers 历史遗留下来的 from when the major waste from houses in England was the dust from their domestic fireplaces (or as Dickens describes it in Our Mutual Friend, "…coal-dust, vegetable-dust, bone-dust, crockery dust, rough dust and sifted dust, all manner of Dust".) But when we drop our lolly (Australian for US candy and UK sweet) wrappers on the ground we are all littering and the result is litter. However, when we pick it up in Australia it goes in a rubbish bin not a trash can (as it would in the US) or into a dustbin (as it would in the UK). But why should Americans choose to use garbage or trash cans rather than rubbish bins? Is this a deliberate divergence or just happenstance? Rubbish, according to the Online Etymological Dictionary, dates from about 1400 and is derived from rubouses (1392), which relates to rubble and is of unknown origin. (By the way, the verb to rubbish meaning to disparage and criticize harshly was first used in Australian and New Zealand slang). Garbage, first seen in 1422, originally meant giblets of a fowl and waste parts of an animal, and was likely later confused with garble in its sense of siftings and refuse. It may be related to the Old French, jarbage, which meant a bundle of sheaves, entrails. Trash, meaning anything of little use or value, was first used in 1518, perhaps from a Scandinavian source as the Old Norse word, tros, means rubbish, fallen leaves and twigs; the Norwegian trask for lumber, trash, baggage; and the Swedish trasa for rags, tatters. Trash was first applied to domestic refuse or garbage in 1906 in the US. (It was first applied to ill-bred persons by Shakespeare). Litter, has evolved from the Latin, lectus, for a bed, to the straw used for bedding (the 1400s) and eventually to scattered and disorderly debris similar to what you see with strewn straw. To litter as to strew with objects is from 1713, litterbug is from the 1940s, and littering as in the dropping of litter is from 1960. Trying to find a modern difference in meaning between garbage, rubbish and trash is almost impossible. However, the Americans, using garbage in preference to rubbish for domestic waste are probably closer to the original meaning of garbage as animal offal, which, in the days before junk mail and packaging, would have been the only household waste apart from, of course, dust. 

Bosch Season 1: 1. posse [ˈpɑsi] I. a group of people who have come together for the same purpose. a group of people who are together in a place doing the same thing. A posse of reporters was waiting outside the courtroom. The disgraced minister walked swiftly from the car to his house pursued by a whole posse of reporters.

III. slang a group of friends: I was hanging with my posse. script: I don't get it. Why is Irving putting Pounds in charge of the posse (task force)? Doesn't he want to catch this fucking guy? Exactly what I said to him before. What'd he say? Told me to mind my own business, so, I have. Edgar and I are headed out to the valley to interview Arthur Delacroix's father. 片段2: Tell me about Arthur Delacroix. Who? Part of your skateboard posse 一伙的 back in the day. That's you.

In other words, you make good use of your time or make the most of an opportunity while you have the chance. Etymology: Hay harvest can be spoiled by wet weather. It is important that farmers seize the opportunity of dry weather for haymaking tasks (cutting, drying, gathering). Especially in medieval times, when forecasting the weather several days in advance was more difficult, it was all the more vital. Attested since 1546, originally a Tudor expression, and used figuratively since 1673. script: Would you do my pills, please? Mm-hmm.

Nah, or... or maybe it was at the school bus stop. Like I... like I said, I-I was half in the bag. But you did pick him up somewhere after school. Right. Um, I saw Arthur, and, uh, I waved him into the car. Well, that's when I saw that he still had that damn black tee on. I yelled at him, and he tried to get out of the car while it was still moving. 5. What's she like, your ex? Eleanor? Why?

Affirmative action, refers to a set of policies that support members of disadvantaged groups that have previously suffered discrimination (and may continue to) in such areas as education, employment, or housing. Historically and internationally, support for affirmative action has sought to achieve goals such as bridging inequalities in employment and pay, increasing access to education, promoting diversity, and redressing apparent past wrongs, harms, or hindrances. In the United Kingdom, hiring someone simply because of their protected group status, without regard to their performance, is illegal. However, the law in the United Kingdom does allow for membership in a protected and disadvantaged group to be considered in hiring and promotion in the event that that group is under-represented in a given area and if the candidates are of equal merit. The controlling logic is that the person must not be chosen simply because of their group membership, but rather that the relevant authorities are allowed to use disadvantaged group status as a "tie-breaker" between two candidates of otherwise equal merit. This is functionally the same as the practice known as "affirmative action" in the United States. An alternative approach common in the United Kingdom is described as "positive action", however. Under this approach, the focus tends to be on ensuring equal opportunity and, for example, targeted advertising campaigns to encourage ethnic minority candidates to join the police force. This is often described as being "color blind", although the social viability of that concept is heavily contested in the United States. script: This is six-William-twenty-one.
