nuclear umbrella, umbrella words, unexpurgated, fulcrum, the Beats, Solar Lighted Cantilever Umbrellas,

The Thousand Nights and a Night in several classic translations, including the Sir Richard Francis Burton unexpurgated translation and John Payne translation, with additional material.

"博雅"等等"傘"字眼( umbrella words 無所不包括的字眼)

像"品質"等等,"博雅"也是洋人說的"傘"字眼(an umbrella word 無所不包括的字眼) 。即每個人看法都不一樣 (試讀湯校長的就職演說,他也有一套;我的『教育人行道』BLOG 也有許多套) 。

我們建築系的學妹現在在高雄某科技大學主持通識課程,她提出大家都忽略的: "體育"作為博雅之基礎,這也是鄉當好的。

類似的問題是普遍的,這也是胡適之先生有名的論文《名教》之說法。
在管理學界中,幾年就流行一個新名詞的說法是類似的;可以用一些縮寫的字母湯來表示,譬如說,MBO、TQC、ZD、TQM、 Reengineering、BSC、TOC、Six Sigma、「xy 內閣」、全人(全腦)教育、零基預算法、豐田生產、精實 (Lean 此是鍾某的翻譯,通行於台灣等地) 、有中國特色的XYZ……

其實,這些或多是Babel 塔民花果飄零之後的現象之一。

Where Death Shaped the Beats

A film will chronicle a 1944 New York killing that was a fulcrum for the writers who became the Beats. Above, Jack Kerouac, Lucien Carr and Allen Ginsberg in 1959.

 

The Beat Generation was a group of American post-World War II writers who came to prominence in the 1950s, as well as the cultural phenomena that they both documented and inspired. Central elements of "Beat" culture included experimentation with drugs, alternative forms of sexuality, an interest in Eastern religion, a rejection of materialism, and the idealizing of exuberant, unexpurgated means of expression and being.
Allen Ginsberg's Howl (1956), William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch (1959) and Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957) are among the best known examples of Beat literature.[1] Both Howl and Naked Lunch were the focus of obscenity trials that ultimately helped to liberalize publishing in the United States.[2][3] The members of the Beat Generation developed a reputation as new bohemian hedonists, who celebrated non-conformity and spontaneous creativity.
