master, rustle, taskmaster, Simon Legree, rustler, dolly effect


UNIVERSITY | Harvard, Princeton abolish "master"
At Yale, the University has yet to decide whether to replace the title of master, months after religious studies professor Stephen Davis sparked campus dialogue on the subject when he asked students in his college to refer to him as the “head” of Pierson College rather than the “master.”

Over the past two weeks, Harvard and Princeton have decided to stop using the word “master” in their residential college housing systems.

許瑞宋說他運氣好,最近簽了2本新書;必全力以赴。他上周送我2本近月的商業書籍譯作,我上網對照一下,沒找到顯著的錯誤。

Stone 上周趕末班車來---戴法國巧克力,所以沒入鏡頭。其實她談到我講the Bible的引用,馬上答,和合本,與我去年翻譯Deming博士採用的,不同:

此次翻譯時,參考過的部分書籍:《聖經》(思高本)台灣的術名詞網站、英語姓名譯名手冊(北京商務印書館)…..

On the left is Szyk's illustration of Moses striking the Egyptian taskmaster (Exodus 2:12)

《聖經》(思高本)卻無taskmaster一字:

  1. 過了許久梅瑟已經長大,有一次出去探望自己的同胞,看見他們作苦工,又見一個埃及人打他的一個同胞希伯來人;
  2. 他向四面一望,見沒有人,便將那埃及人打死,將他埋在沙土中。
Crime has been falling in Britain since the mid-1990s, with very few exceptions. Police fret about rising online fraud and phishing scams perpetuated by sophisticated global criminal networks. And then there's sheep rustling. Between 2010 and 2011 the cost of thefts of farm animals shot up by 170%, according to NFU Mutual, which insures three-quarters of Britain's farmers http://econ.st/1iDMpds
