    小知识

    A smuggler is someone who transports goods illegally, like an exotic animal smuggler who sneaks wild birds into the U.S. from South America.

    During Prohibition in the 1920s, “rum-runners” were smugglers who illegally brought alcohol to the U.S. on boats from places including the Bahamas. Today smugglers continue to import goods that are either illegal or highly taxed (like cigarettes). Smuggler comes from the Low German smuggeln, “to transport illegally,” and shares a root with the Old English smeogan, “to creep.”
