son of a gun 与 son of a bitch：
son of a gun 是对好友表示一种惊讶的口语（an interjection or an exclamation of surprise between very good friends），有点像「坏蛋」、「家伙」的味道。
但 son of a bitch（或 SOB）是美国人极为严重的骂人话（curse word），千万不可乱用，以免闹事。因为这不但意味这位 son 没有确定的父亲，同时母亲也是缺乏道德和贞操（less virtuous）。 例如：
* I have not seen you for a long time；you （are）son of a gun！（你这坏蛋啊，我好久不见你了！）
* After the two men called each other“son of a bitch”（SOB）,they started a fight.（这两位男子互骂SOB後，就动起武来。）
至於 son of a gun 的来由，据说从前女人可以住在海军船上服务。结果一位女人生下孩子时，不知父亲是谁，於是船上的人，就以「gun」做为孩子的 paternity，孩子也就被称为「son of a gun」。虽然只用在好友中，但有时也真有坏蛋的意思（evil person or a rogue）所以不是恭维语（complimentary word），除非真正好友，少用为妙。

Economists have been particularly surprised by favourable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America's, have little productive slack. America's capacity utilisation, for example, hit historically high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment — the rate below which inflation has taken off on the past.
经济学家对英美两国有利的通胀率感到特别诧异，因为传统的计量方法表明两国经济，特别是美国经济几乎没有生产萧条的时候。比如，美国的生产力利用率在今年前段时间达到了历史最高水平，失业率（8月份为5.6％）已降到低于对自然失业率的大多数估测——过去，当比率低于自然失业率时，通货膨胀率早已迅速上升。
