お昼にKindle版の将棋本の割引率が高い4冊を選んで,購入したのですが,
選択の際に,思いの外,Kindle Unlimitedで読むことができる将棋本が多いことに気づき,
我慢できず,3ヶ月99円のキャンペーンをポチりました。
ある意味わかりきっている理由をつけて,廉価版カラーKindleとして,
3,280 yenは安いと合理化し,Fire 7 16 GBをポチってしまいました。orz
「安物買いの銭失い」にまたもや,なってしまうのか。。。

Wisdom from the West
Trojan horse
Trojan horse noun
1: someone or something intended to defeat or subvert from within
usually by deceptive means
2 : a seemingly useful computer program that contains concealed
instructions which when activated perform an illicit or malicious action
(such as destroying data files)
also : the concealed instructions of such a program
Did You Know?
After besieging the walls of Troy for ten years, the Greeks built a huge,
hollow wooden horse, secretly filled it with armed warriors,
and presented it to the Trojans as a gift for the goddess Athena,
and the Trojans took the horse inside the city's walls.
That night, the armed Greeks swarmed out and captured and burned the city.
A Trojan horse is thus anything that looks innocent but, once accepted,
has power to harm or destroy—for example, a computer program
that seems helpful but ends up corrupting or demolishing the computer's software.

一度のリスニングでは,なかなか上記の関係を理解するのは難しいですわ。問題を正解するのに,ここまで詳しく理解していなくてもできるとはいえ,細かいこと,喋ってほしくないような気がします。
戦後のアメリカ映画史が出たら,うれしいかも知れません(笑)。
