最近有个新名词:“Internet of Things" - a tech industry jargon for just about any object that is connected to and in some cases run over the Web. 指任何可以接到互联网的物体,是科技行业的术语。
全球规模最大的年度消费科技产品交易会 International CES 昨天在拉斯维加斯结束,会上就有很多跟网络有关的汽车、智能家居以及可穿戴的产品,其中有世界上首只可联网的网球球拍。这球拍上有微小的感应器,收集的资料通过蓝牙传到智能手机,然后用户可以在网上查看和分析,从而改进球艺。这款网球拍叫 Babolat Play Pure Drive tennis racket, 价值 $399。

Deep Pockets
Home and Garden Show 上有个真人秀的节目叫 House Hunters,客人想在一个好区买房子,地产经纪说:“You need deep pockets to
live in this area." 你有钱才住得起这个区。
To have deep pockets = to have a lot of money. 有深口袋,能装很多钱,就是富有。
The lawyers went after him because he has deep pockets. 律师告他,因为他有钱。

Wiggle Room
学校马上要开学了,几个辅导员好不容易把近三千个学生每人的课程排出来了,他们请老师们不要轻易答应学生给他们换课或换老师,因为真的没有什么改动的空间了。There is very little wiggle room.
wiggle: to move up and down or from side to side with small rapid movements. 上下或左右扭摆。常听人说“wiggle your toes”动动你的脚趾。
