Lodging is a form of the sharing economy. Lodging is done in a hotel, motel, hostel, inn or hostal, a private home (commercial, i.e. a bed and breakfast, a guest house, a vacation rental, or non-commercially, as in certain homestays or in the home of friends), in a tent, caravan/campervan (often on a campsite). Lodgings may be self-catering, whereby no food is provided, but cooking facilities are available.

Lodging is offered by an owner of real property or a leasehold estate, including the hotel industry, hospitality industry, real estate investment trusts, and owner-occupancy houses. Lodging can be facilitated by an intermediary such as a travel website. The hospitality industry is a broad group of businesses that provide services to customers. The industry can be broken down into three basic areas: accommodations, food and beverage, and travel and tourism. The service industry is a type of business that provides services to customers rather than producing a product.

The accommodation reflex (or accommodation-convergence [会聚] reflex) is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at a distant object (and vice versa), comprising coordinated changes in vergence, lens shape (accommodation) and pupil size. The word vergence has two meanings: 1. the inward or outward turning of one or both eyes that occurs when focusing on an object; 2. a measure of the convergence or divergence [发散] of a pair of light rays. Apparently both con- and di- are prefixes. When I said apparently, I meant "according to the way a situation appears, although I cannot be sure".

accompany

词源: "to be in company with", "take as a companion". company的词源是companion，除了公司外，还有group of people, friends的意思。In fact，我认为这才是核心意思。friends开公司未必是好主意，但开公司总得几个人吧？一个人开的叫小店。电影里常有的We've got company. 不是我们开公司了(got a company才是)，是“有人来陪伴我们了”。来人和武侠小说里的“朋友”一样，未必是好人，译为“有人来了”得了。enterprise的核心意思是事业心、进取心，事业，引申为企业，因为aforesaid是创办企业所必须的。entrepreneur和enterprise的词源都有undertake的意思。

近义词: convoy, escort. accompaniment: 伴随物，伴奏

[LDOCE] a lot of talent, musical talent, many talents, 可数不可数都可以。意为"person/people with a natural ability/skill"时不可数。什么叫talent? LDOCE说*natural*, 牛津说special or very great，没提natural. The philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) once said that, "talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.". 我打17881860没打通，手机可能欠费了。
