There's a hanzi on my screen:

      2 : abreast<space>___sed with of or ...

Google Translate gives me

蓉    Rong. Noun. 1. lotus

I've seen strange substitutions due to cross-platform and cross-format
miscues, but this is just ... rong. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) What's
that paragraph when it's at home?
