unanimous 與記名投票

//=== http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B14
""" ... the working draft, N3936, was published March 2, 2014,
the final ballot period closed on August 15, 2014,
and the results (unanimous approval) were announced on August 18.
... """

第一次看到這段話 以為 unanimous === un-animous === not anonymous
--> unanimous approval 可能指 記名投票表決通過
--> 大錯特錯 !


網搜才發現 unanimous 的發音是 /ju n'ae n.m.s/ 而非 /.n 'ae n.m.s/
意思則為 "無異議的, 全體一致的, ... "
unanimous approval 就是無異議通過, 與記名/匿名無關.

近日議長選舉的新聞頗熱 小瑛要求民進黨議員亮票 ...

那麼 記名投票 與 匿名投票 的英文怎麼說呢?

""" ...

-->
記名投票: open ballot/registered ballot?/disclosed ballot?
匿名投票: secret ballot
亮票: to disclose the ballot

condo, condom, condominium

第一次看到 condo 這個字, 只想到 condom (避孕套, 保險套) ,
不過見了幾次後, 從上下文(context) 猜到這個字與房屋有關

""" ...

condo 不會是豪宅吧? 

網路字典找一下 

condo 是 condominium 的簡寫

condo /'kan do/
condominium /kando 'mini.m/

字首(prefix) con, 難道是集合住宅?

//=== http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condominium

""" ... 

A condominium, or condo, is the form of housing 'tenure' and other real property
... (usually of an apartment house) is individually owned.

...
access to common facilities in the piece such as hallways, heating system, elevators, and exterior areas are executed under legal rights associated with the individual ownership

...

In Australia, New Zealand, and ..., it is referred to as "strata title."
In Quebec, the term "divided co-property" (French: propriete divis) is used,
although the colloquial name remains "condominium."

... """

從 wikipedia 的解釋看來, 似乎是指社區型公寓, 除了各住戶的房間外, 有些
公用的設施 -- 電梯, 中庭, 樓梯間, 走道, 中央空調, 水塔, ...

所以 apartment 與 condo 的不同就在於有無公共空間?
apartment 代表小型公寓 ?  condo 規模比較大?

--- 非也!!!

看了icebearpapa 的部落格貼文(Post) 才發現自己理解錯誤
http://icebearpapa.pixnet.net/blog/post/31932599
原來差別在 '所有權'

I have a condo/an apartment. --> 擁有一戶公寓
I live in a condo. --> 擁有一戶公寓並住在裡面
I live in an apartment. --> 住在一戶公寓裡, 可能是分租/租整戶/或者買的

反過來說, 如果我在大都市的某社區大樓裡租了一間小套房(a studio apartment)
就不該說  I live in a condo.
而應講 I live in an apartment.

[例句]
Living in a big city, renting a small studio apartment on the 4th floor of a high-rise building,
sitting on the couchbed, TV murmuring, Zisan has his microwaved dinner box from 7-11
around a strange corner ---  traffic signal flashing red green or yellow?

against them.  ...
