a knowledge, Paternoster lift；monetization rate

物理學家歐本海默（J. Robert Oppenheimer）在第一次核爆實驗成功後所說的：「物理學家們知道了什麼是罪，而這是他們不能喪失的知識。（the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.）」

know、knowledge 對應，所以 此處 knowledge 似乎不宜翻譯為「知識」，而是「認識」。

out of all knowledge ((古風))想像を絶する.

“I think most of the disappointment is from the monetization rate, which dropped after the IPO,” said Elinor Leung, an analyst at the brokerage and investment group CLSA, referring to the amount the company makes from each user of its services. “The reasons for the monetization drop are temporary, and don't change the fundamentals of the business.”


從事證券交易和投資的里昂證券(CLSA)的分析師梁向奕(Elinor Leung)說，“我覺得最讓人們失望的是貨幣化率，這個考量在IPO之後出現下降。”貨幣化率指的是公司從每個使用其服務的用戶所賺得的收入。“貨幣化率下降的原因是暫時性的，並不改變阿里巴巴的業務本質。”

DEFINITION of 'Monetize'

To monetize is to convert an asset into or establish something as money or legal tender. The term monetize has different meanings depending on the context. It can refer to methods utilized to generate profit, while it also can literally mean the conversion of an asset into money. For example, the U.S. Federal Reserve can monetize the nation's debt; this involves the process of purchasing debt (treasuries) which in turn increases the money supply. This essentially turns the debt into money (monetization).

monetization rate 英文作者也不見得完全懂它。基本上它是社交網路公司 (Facebook等等)的"會員"資料等讓廣告代理商等來買的收入"率" (每人每年多少錢......)。

Paternoster lift

為什麼意譯為主禱文電梯，因為它循環上下如念珠：

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster

翻譯它要思索：日文採音譯，中文呢？大家想想。
