【Pink Tangle Teezer】 Nancy Anne Miller Like a rose sun coral, nodules waft a watery aqua sky, Deep down in the semitropical ocean of her youth.
A pink floral Octocorallia with tentacles swaying In the waves of her breezy hair. A cow's udders
Dropping the doze of the mother country's Milk into her body as it exfoliates her scalp.
Placed on the side of her daily bath, like A set of extra teeth, ones sluggish on a slug's
Tongue, words emitted slowly, rubbery and Bent. The slush, slur of an infant's speech, not
Enunciated but dissolving in her mouth, a lozenge Sucked for the taste of the island's sweetness. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《粉紅色發梳》】 (百慕大)恩典·仁慈·米勒“磨坊主” 【紅霞譯】 像玫瑰絢爛的珊瑚，枝狀體漂蕩在水藍色天空， 還有綻放青春的亞熱帶海底。
粉花羽軟珊瑚的觸手 隨微風搖曳。母牛
將家鄉的乳液 滴到她的身上一如去除她的皮屑。
擺放日常淋浴旁邊，好似 一副多生的牙齒，賴在鼻涕蟲的
舌頭上，語速緩慢，吞吐 不清。嬰兒說話時發出低沉含糊的聲音，並非
直言相告，而口含菱形糖果 品嘗島上的甜美。 【注】聖喬治“農夫”鎮成立於1612年，曾是英屬百慕大“勇氣”群島的首府，被視為第一個新大陸最古老的英國定居點，17—20世紀作為駐軍鎮對英國軍事工程的發展做出了巨大貢獻。 2000年，百慕大聖喬治歷史名鎮及相關防禦工事被列入聯合國教科文組織《世界遺產名錄》。 Today in History(歷史上的今天): 2024: Hamilton, Costly Capital of Bermuda(百慕大哈密爾頓·最貴首府) 2024: UK-Crowned Bermuda w/ Quo Fata Ferunt(英屬百慕大·命運之所在) 2020 Film Criticism—Webs of Intricacy(高三·影評—複雜網絡) 2014: Punchliner on Carnival(嘉年華·妙語連珠)  Bierman Astor Estate, Originally Built by Multi-Millionaire & American Spy_ Vincent Astor & His Wife Helen in 1933

After the Sea Venture wrecked on the reefs in 1609, a group of castaways started exploring the area. On one of the many beaches they came across something unusual — tobacco growing wild. In honor of this discovery, they named the spot Tobacco Bay Beach. Four hundred years later, you won’t find wild tobacco at Tobacco Bay, just a fun day at one of Bermuda’s National Parks. The beach later became the backdrop to the 1775 Gunpowder Plot, where locals helped American revolutionaries steal a supply of British gunpowder from the Town of St. George. America's Revolutionary War might have turned out very differently if it hadn’t been for a group of Bermudians sympathetic to the cause of the American Continental CongresOn the night of August 14, 1775, they stole more than 100 barrels of gunpowder from the Royal Arsenal in the Town of St. George, rolled them across the island to Tobacco Bay, and shipped each and everyone to Philadelphia. 百慕大海灘背後的歷史 1609年，《海上冒險》號在珊瑚礁上沉沒後，一群遇難者開始探索該地區，在眾多海灘之一，他們發現了一種不尋常的東西——野生煙草。為了紀念這一發現，他們把這個地方命名為煙草灣海灘。四百年後，你在煙草灣找不到野生煙草，只能在百慕大國家公園度過愉快的一天。 後來，這片海灘成為1775年火藥陰謀的背景，當地人幫助美國革命者從聖喬治鎮偷走了一批英國火藥。 如果不是因為一群同情美國大陸會議事業的百慕大人，美國獨立戰爭的結果可能會大不相同。1775年8月14日夜間，他們從聖喬治鎮的皇家兵工廠偷走了100多桶火藥並運到煙草灣，然後又全部轉往費城。  Fort St Catherine, a Coastal Artillery Fort @ the North-East Tip of St. George's Is, in the Imperial Fortress Colony of Bermuda Built in the 17th Century
