副 词: relentlessly
名 词: relentlessness
关注汽车行业的宝宝们一定对这个词很熟悉吧,Lexus的Slogan就有这个词哦: The relentless pursuit of perfection.不懈追求完美。
关于这个词呢还有个典故,1994年,亚马逊在杰夫·贝佐斯的车库诞生。据一些元老级员工的回忆,创建伊始,这家电子商务巨头并不叫亚马逊,贝佐斯为公司选用的第一个名称是Cadabra,即Abracadabra(魔咒)一词的缩写。卡普汉对Geek Wire表示,有一个问题:人们常常将这个词听成“cadaver”(尸体),这至少会令人感到不愉快。后来贝佐斯打算重新命名为“Relentless”,意指一心一意满足客户的期望。卡普汉表示:“经过一番说服他才相信,不见得每个人都会正确理解这个词的含义。”

还有一首超级火的“Alphabet Aerobics”。Alphabet Aerobics - Blackalicious.mp3
“AlphabetAerobics”这首“字母健身操”是小编有生之来听过最有魔性的rap。据说这首歌是"tongue-twisting"的风格的巅峰之作。什么是"tongue-twisting"?来你先尝试着读一读,口腔中舌头扭动的感到,,就是"tongue-twisting"了。这首rap来自美国hip-hop组合Blackalicious,代表了他们"tongue-twisting"的风格。按从A到Z的顺序,以特定字母开头的单词组合成了简单押韵的句子或短语,rap赋予其节奏。即使是native-speaker也常用这首歌炫rap、玩儿配音。

Daniel Radcliffe在The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon上用Alphabet Aerobics大秀rap:
Artificial amateurs, aren't at all amazing
Analytically, I assault, animate things
Broken barriers bounded by the bomb beat
Buildings are broken, basically I'm bombarding
Casually create catastrophes, casualties
Cancelling cats, got theircanopies collapsing
Detonate a dime of dank daily doin' dough
Demonstrations, Don Dada on the down low
Eatin' other editors with each and every energetic
Epileptic episode, elevated etiquette
Furious fat fabulous fantastic
Flurries of funk felt, feeding the fanatics
Gift got great global goods gone glorious
Gettin' godly in his game with the goriest
Hit em high, hella height, historical
Hey holocaust hints hear 'em holler at your homeboy
Imitators idolize, I intimidate
In a instant, I'll rise in a irate state
Juiced on my jams like Jheri curls jocking joints
Justly, it's just me, writin' my journals
Kindly I'm kindling all kinds of ink on
Karate kick type Brits in my kingdom
Let me live a long life, lyrically lessons is
Learned lame louses just lose to my livery
My mind makes marvelous moves, masses
Marvel and move, many mock what I've mastered
Niggas nap knowing I'm nice, naturally
Knack, never lack, make noise nationally
Operation, opposition, off, not optional
Out of sight, out of mind, wide beaming opticals
Perfected poem, powerful punch lines
Pummeling petty powder puffs in my prime
Quite quaint quotes keep quiet it's Quannum
Quarrelers ain't got a quarter of what we got uh
Really raw raps, risin' up rapidly
Riding the rushing radioactivity
Super scientifical sound search sought
Silencing stupefied saps that are soft
Tales ten times talented, too tough
Take that, challengers, get a tune up
Universal, unique untouched
Unadulterated, the raw uncut
Verb vice lord victorious valid
Violate vibes that are vain make em vanished
Wow, well well, what a wise wordsmith just
Weaving up words weeded up on my workshift
Xerox, my X-ray-diation holes extra large
X-height letters, and xylophone tones
Yellow back, yak mouth, young ones yaws
Yesterday's lawn yardsale, I yawn
Zig-zag zombies, zoomin' to the zenith
Zero in zen thoughts, overzealous rhyme ZEA-LOTS!....
