《中英對照讀新聞》Recession means smaller Christmas tree for SC 經濟衰退讓南卡羅萊納州耶誕樹變小
◎張沛元
The recession is downsizing everything - even South Carolina’s Statehouse Christmas tree.
經濟衰退讓一切都縮小減量─連南卡羅萊納州州議會的耶誕樹也難逃變小的命運。
This year’s tree is about 30-feet tall and doesn’t even reach the top of the Confederate soldiers’ monument on the capitol’s front lawn.
今年的耶誕樹約30呎高，甚至比州議會大樓前方草坪上的邦聯戰士紀念碑還低。
"We’re like nonprofits and other groups everywhere. We’ve got to be a little more careful with our money," said Jane Suggs with the Columbia Garden Club, which has been putting up the tree along one of the city’s busiest streets for several years.
「一如各地的非營利與其他團體，我們在金錢方面都得格外留心，」多年來在該市最繁忙街道之一的路旁安置耶誕樹的「哥倫比亞花園俱樂部」的珍．薩格斯說。

郎士寧畫一斑錦彪 其實英文叫
《18世紀入華耶穌會士畫家》（中譯名《清宮洋畫家》
3. 彪 注音一式 ㄅ｜ㄠ
老虎身上的斑紋。說文解字：「彪，虎文也。」
老虎。北周˙庾信˙枯樹賦：「熊彪顧盼，魚龍起伏。」
姓。如春秋時衛國有彪傒﹑彪夫，宋代有彪居正。
文采顯現。漢˙揚雄˙法言˙君子：「或問：『君子言則成文，動則成德，何以也』曰：『以其弸中而彪外也。』」李軌˙注：「弸，滿也。彪，文也。積行內滿，文辭外發。」晉˙張華˙勵志詩：「體之以質，彪之以文。」
