聽完不明感染源逐字稿翻譯後英國人搖頭：He's talking bollocks. 這個詞頗為粗魯，不熟的人面前不要隨便用。
胡說八道，rubbish 或 nonsense 是比較文雅的說法，維基是這樣說的，請自行谷歌翻譯。
Bollocks is a word of Middle English origin, meaning "testicles". The word is often used figuratively in British English and Hiberno-English in a multitude of negative ways; it most commonly appears as a noun meaning "rubbish" or "nonsense", an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, or an adjective to describe something that is of poor quality or useless.
以下開放對應俗語。

💬美國生活用語：Corn玉米🌽
1⃣corn-fed
2⃣ pee/piss in sb.’s cornflakes
3⃣ corny
4⃣ cornball
--
Corn is a grain with a special place in the hearts of Americans. First introduced to early settlers by the Indians, it has since become a staple of the American diet, used to make everything from popcorn and muffins to corn chips and corn syrup. Naturally, corn has become part of our language as well.
玉米在美國人心中是種特別的榖物。一開始是由印地安人介紹給最早的一批移民者，自此之後成為美國的重要主食之一，玉米可以用來作成各式各樣的食物，從爆米花、瑪芬、玉米片到玉米糖漿皆可見。理所當然地，玉米也成為英語語言的一部分。
Driving though the Midwest, you’ll pass by endless fields of corn, which is eaten by animals and people alike. The adjective1⃣ “corn-fed” is used to describe animals fed or fattened with corn, i.e. “corn-fed hogs.” What about people? If you call someone corn-fed, it means they look plump, well-fed and robust. Ex: Several corn-fed Midwesterners tried out for the football team. When describing people and places, corn-fed can also mean unsophisticated and provincial. Ex: Karen grew up in a small, corn-fed Kansas town.
只要開車經過美國中西部，你一定會路過一望無際的玉米田，這是種植給動物與人類吃的。形容詞corn-fed就是用來形容以玉米餵食或增肥的動物，如corn-fed hogs（玉米豬）。那人呢？如果你說某人是corn-fed，其實是說這人看起來豐潤、吃得很好、容光煥發，如：Several corn-fed Midwesterners tried out for the football team.（好幾位厚實健壯的中西部人前來參加美式足球隊選拔。）corn-fed如果用來敘述人或地方，也可以指「未經世事、天真的」以及「守舊狹隘的」，如：Karen grew up in a small, corn-fed Kansas town.（凱倫在堪薩斯州的一個守舊的小村落長大。）
Cornflakes are a popular American breakfast, and if someone peed in them, you’d be pretty mad, right? 2⃣That’s exactly what “pee/piss in sb.’s cornflakes means. Ex: Gee, I wonder who peed in the manager’s cornflakes today.
玉米片是非常受歡迎的美國式早餐，如果有人在上面撒尿，你一定會抓狂吧！這就是pee/piss in sb.’s cornflakes的意思。如：Gee, I wonder who peed in the manager’s cornflakes today.（老天，不知道今天是誰惹毛了經理。）
Since corn is such a simple and common type of food, can you guess what the 3⃣ adjective “corny” means? If a joke, story or song is corny, it’s silly, trite or overly sentimental. Ex: Dad always tells such corny jokes. 4⃣ The adjective “cornball” has the same meaning. Ex: Martin has such a cornball sense of humor. And it can also be a noun. Ex: Martin is such a cornball.
既然玉米是如此簡單又常見的食物，你可以猜猜看 corny 是什麼意思呢？如果有個笑話或故事是 corny 的，就是在說它們是「愚蠢、老套且濫情的」，如：Dad always tells such corny jokes.（老爸老是喜歡講這種老掉牙的笑話。）cornball 當形容詞也有一樣的意思，如：Martin has such a cornball sense of humor.（馬丁的幽默感實在有夠老掉牙。）也可以直接當名詞使用，如：Martin is such a cornball.（馬丁真是個愛講冷笑話的人。）

在澳洲三個禮拜，
對於一個旅行者來說，算很長，
但對於一個居住者來說，算匆促。
不過足以讓我把所有感覺神經都打開，體會當地一切的美好。
再次和我的寶貝侄子Wei，一起聊聊在澳洲的種種！
（他好紅喔他！）
