NOTES 1 Art Buchwald (1925 ): wellknown humor columnist (幽默專欄作家 ) for the Washington Post (華盛頓郵報 ). 2 Manhattan: the mercial and cultural center of New York City, famous for its tall buildings and theaters. 3 20,000 light years ago: A light year is the distance that light travels in one year, about 6 trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles. Art Buchwald is being humorous when he deliberately(故意的 ) says 20,000 light years ago. The intended meaning is only a very, very long time ago. 4 Consolidated Edison Belt: There is a radiation zone (輻射帶 ) encircling (環(huán)繞 ) the earth, called the Van Allen Belt (范愛倫輻射帶 ). Consolidated Edison is the pany that makes and supplies electricity for much of eastern New York State. They burn a lot of coal, which makes air polluted. Here Buchwald uses the Consolidated Edison Belt to suggest that there is a belt of coal dust and smoke encircling the pla earth. 5 Grubstart: In American English there is a word grubstake, which means money supplied to a prospector (探礦者 ) on the condition of sharing in whatever he finds. Here the author has changed grubstake into Grubstart to mean a supposed government agency (機構(gòu) ) in charge of supplying funds to scientific research programs. 6 ... spending billions and billions of zilches ...: zilch is a slang word (俚語詞 ) meaning zero or nothing. In our text it is used as if it were a moary unit such as yuan or dollar. A native speaker would immediately see the humor in spending billions and billions of nothings.
