Aku tengah dengar album Dark Ages kat walkman bila aku perasan kat belakang kulit kaset tu ada perkataan Dedicated To God | Dedicado a Deus. Perkataan yang menarik perhatian aku ialah Deus. Sebelum ni aku selalu baca perkataan Deus Ex Machina. Lagi-lagi selepas berkecimpung dalam dunia cafe racer, Deus Ex Machina ni antara perkataan yang diorang suka letak kat motor (selain Hikari Riders.. blerghhh) dan jaket. Aku tak pernah periksa betul-betul, tapi tak silap aku sama ada ni bengkel kustom atau jenama kustom antarabangsa yang terkenal. Aku rasa aku ikuti akaun instagram diorang tapi tak pernah tahu sebenarnya diorang ni kat mana atau apa, tapi mat-mat kustom memang suka nau letak stiker ni kat motor. Jadi, aku pun semak la kat google, betul ke Deus ni maksudnya god. Dan apa maksud Deus Ex Machina. Nampaknya tak boleh guna google translate untuk bagi faham kena baca artikelnya kat wiki. Deus betul membawa makna god. Deus ex machina bermaksud god from the machine. Jem kejap aku baca makna terjemahan terusnya. Sebab bukan machine from the god, tapi god from the machine.
Okey, pendek cerita, deus ex machina adalalah salah satu jenis device plot.
Ambil dari wiki:
