A few months back, Garry G. Mathiason, senior partner with Littler, Mendelson, Fastiff, Tichy & Mathiason, the nation's largest employment law firm, got a call from a very sheepish general counsel for a major company. The president of the company, the counsel said, ''is planning to have a consensual affair with one of his employees,'' but before he does, ''he wants to draft a written agreement'' stating that the affair is voluntary--to reduce the chance that the woman might file a sexual-harassment suit if they broke up. ''You won't believe it,'' Mathiason assured the nervous counsel. ''But we've already drafted a standard form'' for just such cases. Consensual affairs justify themselves by employing laws

Carter’s glossary: said of a lady whose ankles are ‘beefy’, or thick. A term of Irish origin. It is said that a traveller passing through Mullingar was so struck with this pecularity [sic] in the local women that he determined to accost the first he met next. ‘May I ask,’ said he, ‘if you wear hay in your shoes?’ ‘Faith, an [sic] what if I do?’ said the girl. ‘Because,’ says the traveller, ‘that accounts for the calves of your legs coming down to feed on it.’ Mullingar heifer

Slide 12:

translational footnote: “This piece is full of unannotated and antiquated vocabulary and expressions. One solution would be to directly translate the meaning. However, the translator hopes to preserve the absurdity and awkwardness in the source text, so instead of opting for more accessible terms, the translator has intentionally kept the peculiarities and annotated them when necessary.” ( 文中有許多原無註解、又遠非今日通用英語的字詞片語，盡量直接意譯是一種做法，但譯者也希望保留原文的突兀陌生、難以卒讀感，因此其中一些斟酌加以註解，而不直接翻成容易了解的名詞。 )

ST: In every snickert and ginnel, bone-grubbers, rufflers, shivering-jemmies, anglers, clapperdogeons, peterers, sneeze-lurkers and Whip Jacks with their morts, out of the picaroon, fox and flimp and ogle. A Hopping Giles gets a bloody Jemmy on the cross of a cut-throat; the snotters crib belchers, bird's eye wipes, blue billies and Randal's men. In a boozing ken in the Holy Land, a dunk-horned cutter -- a cock-eyed clack box in flashy benjamin and blood red fancy -- shed a tear by the I desire. TT: 在每一條使你嗑和擠挪兒裡，刮骨頭的、亂毛的、打哆嗦的、釣魚的、裝可憐的、劈特拉的、西貝乞丐和帶著姘頭的鞭子傑克，下了海盜船，來誆人、詐人、吃人。 一個瘸吉爾斯惹火了割喉嚨的，落得傑米血淋淋 ; 扒帕的拐領巾、鳥眼紋手巾、換帖的跟做兵的。 在聖地一個酒窩，一個耍帥傢伙 — 鬥雞眼，刀子嘴，穿戴招搖花俏的班傑明和血紅手帕 — 在路人雜貨旁掉了一滴淚。
