20世紀的幾位"大老" (dean)，都是很有名望、學問；
Walter Lippmann, the retired columnist and author who was the dean of American political journalism in the 20th century, died of a heart ailment yesterday morning at a private nursing home at 755 Park Avenue, He was 85 years old.

讓我想起翻譯成 "華爾街教父"的這本"The Dean of Wall Street"
有意思的是，該文給胡適下的不朽處，竟不是胡先生的三不朽（楊聯陞先生在給《陳世驤選集》作序敬輓，就是用胡適的話來破題的，該文功力不凡），或是像我們在《華爾街大老》(The Dean of Wall Street)中了解的，傳主 Benjamin Graham的墓誌銘是刻了丁尼生詩歌Ulysses 的句子--他與胡適都極喜愛。（詳《努力、探尋、發現、永不退讓、不屈服》）
dean:The senior member of a body or group: the dean of the Washington diplomatic corps.

Hanching Chung 大師滿天飛。學術單位應慎用大師
林淇瀁多謝指教。本講座邀請的作家或許有您不熟悉的名字，謹向您說明邀請基準：
1. 曾獲全國最高文學獎項：國家文藝獎或吳三連文學獎得主；
2. 作品已有外文譯本之作家；
3. 已獲文學史肯定之作家。

台灣常用的另外一個不當形容詞是"教父" (godfather)。
譬如說，稱Morris Chang為半導體業教父；台北科技大學的Le Corbusier 展，稱他為現代建築的教父......
我想，這誤會大了/電影看多了：godfather 的貶義：A mafia leader。同樣的，大師guru 滿天飛，也是有貶義。

Thousands of runners who took part in the Marathon of the North races have been told the course they followed was 264m short.

Competitors in the full and half marathons took a wrong turn in the Sunderland events because marshals were standing in the wrong positions.

Only in one area do Sperber’s efforts at contextualization fall short. He argues that Marx’s writings on the Jewish question, including his hostile comments about Jews, should be understood as “embedded” in the attitudes of the age and therefore not deemed straightforwardly anti-Semitic. But such a view is not easy to hold given the evidence Sperber himself marshals, including an 1875 letter to Engels in which Marx — born a Jew, apparently just before his father’s conversion to Protestantism — casually describes a fellow train passenger as a “little Yid,” before offering a description that Sperber, to his credit, concedes “is a stereotypical denunciation of an uncultured and greedy Jew.”
斯珀伯在“情景化”上的努力只有一個地方有所欠缺，那就是他認為馬克思關於猶太人問題的作品，包括馬克思對猶太人的敵意言論，應當被“嵌入到”那個時代的態度中去理解，因此不應該被視為是赤裸裸的反猶太主義。但是從斯珀伯自己整理的證據來看，這個觀點不太站得住腳，比如馬克思在1875年寫給恩格斯的一封信中，信口把他在火車上遇到的一個乘客稱為“小猶太”(little Yid)，然後對此人進行了描述。馬克思出生時是猶太人，他父親顯然在他出生後不久才皈依了新教。斯珀伯不情願地承認，這個描述是“一個蒙昧、貪婪的猶太人的模式化的陳舊譴責”。作者能這麼說倒是值得讚揚。
