patriotism, terribly unpatriotic.. The usual dress code is one of straightforward red, white and blue: suits and ties, dresses, skirt suits.



After all, there are few garments less likely to show up at the public performances that are the major party presidential conventions. The usual dress code is one of straightforward red, white and blue: suits and ties, dresses, skirt suits. The point is patriotism in the most obvious sense.


To call a hotel “Weiyena” (to sound like “Vienna”) is now deemed terribly unpatriotic

It wants to put a stop to “worship of foreign things”




........研究认为,教师在教授二战及有关大英帝国的历史知识时
,往往片面强调英国历史上的伟大时刻,但却刻意避开了那些富有争议的历史事件。

报告说,奴隶贸易、帝国主义以及一战和二战等都是极富争议的历史话题,教师在传授这些历史知识时应该给学生明辨是非、独立判断的机会。

调查显示,四分之三的教师认为有义务向学生阐明"爱国主义" (patriotism)可能导致的危险。所有老师和学生都不希望爱国主义情绪充斥校园。

但教育学家的这一观点遭到了历史学家的驳斥。历史学家认为,脱离爱国主义和英国传统价值观教授历史是不可能的。




該報的另一篇文章報道了《色戒》女主角湯唯遭中國廣電總局封殺的消息。文章說,儘管《色戒》中國版已經刪除了湯唯在戲中的激情戲表演,但湯唯為龐氏護膚產 品拍攝的廣告還是遭到了封殺。《泰晤士報》說,激情戲只是湯唯遭封殺的部分原因,其根本原因在於廣電總局認為湯唯在《色戒》

◎「英雄氣溉」、「愛國精神/心」,比「英雄主義」
(heroism)、「愛國主義」(patriotism)等傳神。
【heroism great bravery:
an act of heroism
patriotism when you love your country and are proud of it】
◎ism可當「惡習」解,所以alcoholism為「酗酒」
【alcoholism the condition of being an alcoholic:
Alcoholism cost me my job, my health and finally my family. 】
◎journalism the work of collecting, writing and publishing news stories and articles in newspapers and magazines or broadcasting them on the radio and television
