名词 n.
  1. A sentence with three clearly defined parts of equal length, usually independent clauses. rhetoric
    — By my count, that’s three tricolons in just over 100 words. It’s almost impossible to make A.I. stop saying “It’s not X, it’s Y” — unless you tell it to write a story, in which case it’ll drop the format for a more literary “No X. No Y. Just Z.”
  2. The symbol ⟨⁝⟩, a colon with three dots instead of two.
