Gillibrand’s Affinity for Asia Becomes an Asset
By DAVID W. CHEN
Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand’s experiences in Asia could help her with a fast-growing constituency.
Another point worth noting is that Taiwanese people's affinity for political parties is on the decline, especially among those willing to publicly declare themselves DPP supporters. Only 3.9 percent called themselves DPP backers in this year's survey, down from 9.6 percent at the beginning of 2008. The number of those proclaiming loyalty to the KMT fell to 19 percent, from 20.8 percent a year ago. In contrast, the majority claiming they did not support any political party grew from 55 percent last year to 63.3 percent in this year's survey. (Table 22)
另外，值得注意的是，台灣民眾的政黨認同度在退燒，特別是願意公開表示支持民進黨者，從去年的九．六％降為今年三．九；國民黨也從二六．七％稍降為一九％，宣稱不支持任何政黨的比例從五五％提升為六三．三％。

漢學院的中文全名是「漢學研究院」，因帶一「院」字，很容易誤會是一個獨立的學院，其實漢學院的英文名字是Sinological Institute，正常的譯名應作漢學研究所，是屬於該校文學院的一部分，但Institute這字在英文也不見得是指我們台灣認知的研究所而言，它可以是研究院，有時甚至可以指與「大學」平起平坐的學院，美國的MIT（麻省理工學院）CIT（加州理工學院）中的I都是Institute。

周日讀紐約時報周刊中的Language專欄："Spoiler" By WILLIAM SAFIRE（June 6, 2004） 最後一段談美國形象在歐洲幾乎「人人噓之」的不堪情況下
【GREEK BEARING UPBEAT WORD
The Greek word philo, used as a prefix, means ''love of,'' or at least ''a predisposition for''; philosophy, for example, is ''the love of wisdom.'' At a luncheon last month in New York, the new prime minister of Greece, Costas Caramanlis, was asked by journalists if he noticed a wave of anti-Americanism sweeping Europe. He replied that he was a philo-American. Though not a fresh coinage, philo-American was such a refreshing locution that I thought it should be called to your attention. 】
過去我在 Simon UNIVERSITY有引周作人一文：他為「親日派
「……我們承認一國的光榮在於他的文化──學術與藝文
我們查字典可知「親法派」為 Francophile 「親英/中派」為Anglophile/Sinophile???

評論：
philo應用例子一：
De Quincey records a remark of Wordsworth's: "It is in the highest degree unphilosophic to call language or diction `the dress of thoughts'... he would call it `the incarnation of thoughts.'"
R. A. SAYCE 撰 STYLE IN LITERATURE 載入 The Dictionary of the History of Ideas
philo應用例子二：
philology noun [U] OLD-FASHIONED
the study of language, especially its history and development
這門「愛好語文而研究之」的學問，在英國和歐陸各有其發展
我以為anti-Americanism 的相反詞，應以 pro-Americanism 為宜。
affinity groups：（大哥大）認同（親和）團體的廣告
In the 1990s a model of organization also called "affinity groups" were adopted by corporations, who found them effective for increasing minority and women into participation into company life. Some large U.S. corporations have affinity groups of African American, Latino, female, GLBT (gay lesbian bisexual and transgendered), Christian, or disabled employees.[6]
