1）Lately, news that reports of the rescue works of World Trade Centre of New York City and Pentagon in Washington uses the phrase “Ground Zero” to describe the devastated sites. “Ground Zero” was originally used to describe the point on the surface of land or water that is precisely the site of detonation of a nuclear weapon, or the point immediately above or below it. Later, it expended to use to describe the exact target of a projectile such as a missile or bomb. And as World Trade Centre and the Pentagon were hit by jetliners purposely targeted at them, the term “Ground Zero” used is appropriate.
2）There is also a broader use of this term to describe ‘The centre of rapid or intense development or change’, such as “San Francisco was Ground Zero of the Hippie Culture”.

49. Give somebody a leg up 是成语 ， 不十分常见，意思是抬起人家一条腿助他上马、爬过短墙等，往往引伸解作「帮助某人」。Time（《时代周刊》）读到以下句子﹕Ironically, the design revolution has been given a leg up by not-so-special chain stores like IKEA 。「奇怪得很，IKEA那样不怎么特别的连锁店，竟然有助推动这场设计革命」。not-so-special不怎么特别。
