import, export and deport are important

明年美國也要選總統 歐巴馬面對幾項難題
首先是舉債上限(debt ceiling)問題
僵持數月 終究如外界預期的通過了提高debt ceiling的法案 ...

赤字問題
失業/就業問題
非法移民問題

考量非白人族群選票 及移民族群帶來的經貿活動

所以就衍生出形容詞 important?


//=== port 的聯想
port 中文可翻成 埠 (音'布' 而非 '舖')
'行走的雞毛撢子'中 有幾個關鍵詞 香溪,七里埠,水碼頭, 撢子, ...

passport : the certificate to pass the port(airport / seaport?)

portable: 前些年3C產品滿流行的詞,指輕巧,可攜式的裝置, 像是PDA, 小筆電,
這兩年變成了mobile, pad, tablet ;
在軟體上 則指程式庫可轉換到另一種作業平台, 轉換的動作叫porting,
如果程式庫是跨平台(cross-platform) , 理想的狀況是不需porting 就可正常動作 ...
