注1:Liquid radio 标题双关。源自美国明尼苏达州的一个电台名,Liquid Radio is a station that broadcasts an electronic music format using low power, homebrew transmitters,and it is based in southern Minnesota.该电台的URL为http://www.liquidradioonline.com/ 同时在本文中指海水(liquid)制造的无线电(radio)天线。
注2:sore thumbs 一语双关。字面意思指军舰上林立的天线像许多竖起的受伤手指,而俗语指“痛苦而尴尬的事,引人注目的事”,表示这些铜质天线If placed too close together, antennae interfere with each other’s signals. They also get in the way of aircraft and weapons. And, crucially, naval antennae—many of them more than 20 metres tall—make warships more easily visible to enemy radar.
