"Dreyer describes Seuss's personal collection of paintings and sculptures as 'secret art.' Geisel literally kept them in the closet … and his widow, Audrey Geisel, has never sold an original Seuss. She authorized high-quality lithograph prints so the public can see the ulterior side of her late husband." — The Alexandria (Virginia) Times, 6 Dec. 2011
「Dreyer將蘇斯個人收藏的繪畫和雕塑描述為「秘密藝術」。 Geisel 確實將它們保存在壁櫥中…… Audrey Geise 從未出售過 an original Seuss『Seuss的早期的作品？』。她授權使用高品質的石版畫，以便公眾可以看到她已故丈夫的隱藏的一面。」
Did You Know?
Although now usually hitched to the front of the noun motive to refer to a hidden need or desire that inspires action, ulterior began its career as an adjective in the 17th century describing something occurring at a subsequent time, such as "ulterior measures" taken after a lawful request. It then started to be used to mean both "more distant" (literally and figuratively) and "situated on the farther side." The "hidden" sense, which is most familiar today, followed after those, with the word modifying nouns like purpose, design, and consequence. Ulterior comes directly from the Latin word for "farther" or "further," itself assumed to be from ulter, meaning "situated beyond."
儘管現在通常以名詞 motive 開頭來指代激發隱藏需求或隱藏欲望的行動，但是ulterior在17世紀開始作為形容詞開始使用，描述了隨後發生的某些事情，例如在之後採取的「ulterior measures『別有用心的措施』」 合法要求。 然後，它開始被用來指「more distant『更遠的』」（從字面上和比喻上）和「situated on the farther side『位於更遠的一側』」。 在今天，最常見的「hidden『隱藏』」含義緊隨其後，該詞修飾了諸如purpose『目的}，design『設計』和consequence『結果』之類的名詞。 Ulterior 直接來自拉丁文中的「 farther」或「 further」表未來，將來，其本身被認為來自 ulter，意思是「situated beyond『處境』」。
