keep the change

真敢社講座之講座計畫主持人 卡洛玲子 敬邀書上 偶爾有：「費用：社員250元‧非社員400元‧依例歡迎扔下大鈔喊「免找」！」

她現在在家「自修」。所以跟她講一更大號之故事，博其一笑：

話說昔日. "Leonid Pasternak". （Wikipedia article "Leonid Pasternak". ）一家多英才，譬如說兒子詩人Boris比父親更有名（著『齊瓦哥醫生等』），我看過他哥哥亞歷山大的回憶錄（英文） 。

Leonid 在1921年離開俄國，1945年客死牛津。

她的孫女在21世紀幫他弄個要預約才能參觀的紀念館。

最有趣的是她的先生「害怕失去他的安寧空間」，這樣說（寫/譯）：「我期望著一位沒有膀胱的百萬富翁前來靜靜地參觀，他不用廁所，願意花一根金條購買風景明信片，還說，『不用再找了！』。」【大陸滥翻譯本【牛津：歷史和文化】 第182頁】
