但就建築師及業主來說,蓋量體這樣高大的超高層建築,本來的考慮就不是都市景觀或與周遭建物的協調,甚至在一般人想當然爾的商機等經濟考量,也不是最主要的因素。相反的,「創造城市的天際線(地標),提升都市形象,提高國內的營建水準」等為「歷史留名」的心態,才是這些高樓產生的主因。
But building owners and architects who aim high give little thought to ensuring that their structure's appearance does not jar with surrounding architecture. The reason is not, as many assume, greed, but rather vanity: the desire to create urban landmarks and pioneer new technologies.

離開西藏後,他直奔MSF設在香港的亞洲辦事處毛遂自薦。由於MSF要求志願醫師需具備至少兩年的工作經驗、極高的抗壓性與極強的適應力,並接受「熱帶醫學」的訓練,想當然爾,他被拒絕了。
After leaving Tibet, Soong made a beeline to DWB's Asia office in Hong Kong to volunteer.

想當然爾跟「官」扯不上邊,他有時乾脆稱自己是歷史的「拾荒者」,被捨棄的史料、被忽視的故事,他拿來當寶貝整理、打點,要拼出歷史的原貌。他所擔心的,不是別人對他的評價,而是還能辦多久的「傳記文學」,有沒有好稿子吸引讀者?
Thinking that he naturally has no way to stand up next to "official" history, sometimes he bluntly calls himself the "junkman" of history. Taking historical materials that have been discarded and stories that have been ignored, he treats them like treasures, straightening them up and putting them in place, in order to piece together the original appearance of history.

when the children cannot find satisfaction in schoolbooks and can’t build relationships with their peers through extracurricular activities, of course they will turn to the convenience of the Inter­net as a way to easily and safely vent their emotions.

經過推敲,他才知道高爾夫球場上綠草如茵,衛星想當然耳把它判讀成綠地。
