Dr. H.A. des V÷ux gave a paper entitled "Fog and Smoke,” in which,in the words of theDaily Graphic of July 26, "he said it required no science to see that there was something produced in great cities which was not found in the country, and that was smoky fog, or what was known as ‘smog.’”The next day theGlobe remarked that "Dr. des V÷ux did a public service in coining a new word for the London fog.”Since Dr. des V÷ux's creation of this blend, much more has been learned about the composition of smog;unfortunately, it is still with us.烟雾污染已成为现代工业生活中如此大的一部分，以至有一段时间人们难以认识烟雾污染以及表达其存在的烟雾污染这个词。不言而喻，这个词是在这种现象产生半个世纪以后才出现的，因为空气污染是在工业革命期间才被发现。Smog 这个词的第一次使用记录出现在1905年关于公共健康委员会一次会议的新闻报导中， H·A·德佛博士当时上交了一份题为《雾和烟》的论文，按照7月26日每日画报 的说法， 在这篇论文中，“他认为不必借助科学，人们就会发现一种只存在于大城市而乡村没有的东西，那就是含烟的雾，或者叫做烟雾”。第二天的环球报 评论说： "H·A·德佛博士关于伦敦大雾所创造的新词是对公众的一个贡献”。自从H·A·德佛博士用混合的方法创造这个词开始，人们对烟雾的结构做了仔细的研究；但不幸的是，它至今还存在着〔wrap〕"The news was kept under wraps for the three-day weekend"(Boston Globe)“这条消息被封锁了周末的三天”(波士顿环球)〔compulsion〕"The compulsion to protect the powerful from the discomfort of public disclosure feeds further abuse and neglect"(Boston Globe)“为了使当权者免受被当众揭发的痛苦，这股冲动进一步助长了权力滥用和玩忽职守”(波士顿环球)〔hosey〕Children in New England, especially in the Boston area,use the expressionI hosey when they are choosing sides for a game. TheBoston Globe asked readers about it in late 1987 and received responses from Boston; Belmont, Massachusetts; New Hampshire; and Maine.Its users agree that it is a children's expressionbut are unsure of its origin—some think that it derives from a pronunciation ofchoose with a heavy Irish brogue. Another possible origin of the expression is French-Canadianchoisir, "to choose.” 新英格兰，特别是波士顿地区的孩子们在进行一种游戏时，用我加入 表示选择加入哪一边来分组。 波士顿环球 杂志在1987年后半年时就此用语向其读者进行征询， 得到了波士顿地区、马萨诸塞州贝尔蒙特地区、新罕布什尔州及缅因州的读者的响应。此语使用者同意此语为孩童用语这一说法，但都不能确定其来源。有些读者认为其来自choose 这一词的带有浓重爱尔兰土腔的发音。 另一可能的词源是加拿大法语中choisir 一词“选择” 〔TelePrompTer〕"With[the President], an old hand at reading from the teleprompter, the gestures nearly always matched the rhetoric" (Boston Globe)"Although he was cheered loudly by most delegates, leftist hecklers and a faulty teleprompter gave him some anxious moments"(Chicago Tribune)“与［总统］， 一个阅读读稿机的老手，姿势几乎总能与言语匹配” (波士顿环球)“尽管他赢得了大多数选民的热烈掌声，但左派的责难和错误百出的读稿机使他经历了一段焦虑的时刻。(芝加哥论坛报)〔Earhart〕American aviator who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean (1932) and from Hawaii to California (1935).
