But if we don’t use this time to respond to China the way we did to the Soviet Union’s 1957 launch of Sputnik, the world’s first artificial satellite, with our own comprehensive scientific, innovative and industrial push, we will be toast.

但如果我們不利用這段時間來回應中國，就像我們對蘇聯1957年發射世界第一顆人造衛星斯普特尼克所做的那樣，用我們自己全面的科學、創新和工業推動，我們就會完蛋。

7 hours ago — Barry Blitt's Kvetchbook riffs on Mt. Rushmore and the embarrassing state of American politics.

To go incognito means to conceal your true identity or blend in without drawing attention. It typically takes two main forms: in everyday life, it means using a disguise or a false name; in web browsing, it refers to using a private session that doesn't save your history. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Physical "Going Incognito"

In the real world, someone goes incognito to move around without being recognized, harassed, or bothered. [1, 2, 3]

• Examples: Celebrities wearing sunglasses and hats, or royalty traveling under fake names. [1, 2, 3]

From Nagasaki, Shichibe sailed to Shanghai. He returned 18 months later with 1,000 British-made guns, which, in a manner of speaking, blasted open the doors for Japan's modernization.
