Though actually不過， the same word still lives in the phrase "a miscarriage of justice,"同一個字仍然活在「a miscarriage of justice」這個片語裡， when a court gets the result badly wrong指法院把結果判得很離譜的時候。 That is an older, wider sense那是一個較舊、較廣的意思： something that was not carried through as it should have been指某件事沒有照它應該的樣子被完成。 The baby sense懷孕的那個意思 is the one people hear first today是今天人們最先想到的。
