(Reuters) - The world's oldest recorded joke has been traced back to 1900 BC
and suggests that toilet humour was as popular with the ancients as it is
today.
It is a saying of the Sumerians, who lived in what is now southern Iraq and
goes: "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young
woman did not fart in her husband's lap."
It heads the world's oldest top 10 joke list published by the University of
Wolverhampton on Thursday.

标 题: 外F女的优秀结晶评价中国祖宗：惹不起的中国游客
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Sat Oct 29 14:00:41 2011, 美东)
一对亚洲夫妻走进餐厅，胸前挂着新款相机，身后拖着学步幼童。父亲的口音泄露了他
们的国籍，“三位。请。”
侍者们交换了熟悉的眼神，大家想的都一样，“又来了...哪个倒霉蛋来接待这一桌？
”他们落座时我的心碎了：因为这家人只是单纯地进来用餐；因为其他侍者的担心往往
成真；也因为我自己，被如此尴尬地夹在中间。为什么？
因为中国人从来不付小费。
中国经济的爆发直接导致国外游的超速增长；老套的挥舞和平标志的日本游客已经不再
是亚洲游客的主力。中国成长中的中产阶级普遍比较年轻，受过教育，热爱奢侈品、国

During his time as an American envoy to France, Benjamin Franklin, publisher

1. 人自身具有的良知和道德观
人自身是具有一定的道德意识和良知的。 如中国文化中的所谓‘良心'。
在《圣经》中也有这样的描述，
创世纪
3:5 因为 神知道，你们吃的日子眼睛就明亮了，你们便如 神能知道善恶。
罗马书
2:14 没有律法的外邦人，若顺著本性行律法上的事，他们虽然没有律法，自己就是自
己的律法。
2:15 这是显出律法的功用刻在他们心里，他们是非之心同作见证，并且他们的思念互
相较量，或以为是，或以为非。
在古代中国等没有《圣经》律法的社会里， 人们一般都依靠自身所具有的道德善恶意
识制定法律制度，道德规范。 中国历史上也出现了一些具有高度观察力的思想家哲学
家对人类的这种特殊的道德现象进行了研究思考和整理。 如孔子和老子都有非常深刻
的论述， 在一定层面上相当接近于《圣经》中的内容。
2．人自身道德观的相对性和局限性
Proverbs
21： 2 People may be right in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their
heart.

The beginning of the instruction about life,
The guide for well-being,
All the principles of official procedure,
The duties of the courtiers;
To know how to refute the accusation of one who made it,
And to send back a reply to the one who wrote,
To set one straight on the paths of life,
And make him prosper on earth;
To let his heart settle down in its chapel,
As one who steers him clear of evil;
To save him from the talk of others,... 阅读全帖 |

“典”——Torah（托辣）五卷的名称。《说说“先知”》一文列出了“经”——Nevi

Ketuvim（读音似“刻图文”）由Kaf、Tav、Bet、Vav、Yod、Mem这个五个希伯来字母
组成，如配图所示。其中三个红色字母——Kaf、Tav、Bet——是这个希伯来词的词根
，意思是“书写”。Ketuvim是复数形式，指”文集”，由于其中包含多种形式和内容
，所以有人称之为“杂集”。Ketuvim的希腊化名称是Hagiographa，所以也有人称这部
文集为“圣著”。这个希腊化的词分两部分：Hagio-（意思是“神圣”）和Grapha（意
思是“文书”）。
Ketuvim所含经卷目录如下：

choice of selective designation seems commonplace within the Christian
community. In fact, most churches ignore the Old Testament all together so

发帖数: 179 | 35 最近读了一篇文章，感觉写得还是挺不错的。但其中这么一段话使我产生了一些疑惑：
“莎士比亚几百年前就说啦：一夜就可以造就一个暴发户，三代才能培养出一个贵族。

(One night , we can build a nouveau riche, three generations to cultivate an

其中的一个typo显然不是问题，但看了这句英文感觉有点怪怪的，而且nouveau riche
，aristocrat这些词感觉似乎与莎翁的时代不太相称，便借助于字典作了一点词源学分
析。根据韦氏字典，Origin of nouveau riche，French, literally, new rich，
First Known Use: 1801，再根据牛津字典，aristocrat，Origin：Late 18th century
aristocratie (see aristocracy). 而莎士比亚(1564–1616)是英国文艺复兴时代的人
