It's the word 'artful'; it's such a great word, with its dark and its light side, its art and its cunning, the craft and the crafty of it - I've been preoccupied with the word 'artful' and the twin notions of 'cornucopia' and 'pickpocket' it suggests for quite some time.

它是“巧妙的”这个词;这个词太棒了,有它黑暗的一面,也有它光明的一面,有它艺术的一面,也有它狡诈的一面,有它的技巧,也有它的狡诈——我一直专注于“巧”这个词,以及它所暗示的“聚宝盆”和“扒手”这两个概念。
