The adoption of cremation would relieve us of a muck of threadbare burial-witticisms; but, on the other hand, it would resurrect a lot of mildewed old cremation-jokes that have had a rest for two thousand years. ["Mark Twain," "Life on the Mississippi," 1883]
採用火葬將使我們擺脫一堆陳腐的葬禮俗語; 但另一方面,它將使許多發黴的古老火葬笑話復活,這些笑話已經休息了兩千年。["馬克·吐溫","密西西比河上的生活",1883年]
