好消息2 !Terry Pratchett 受封骑士
在 2009 年英国女王的封赏名单中,作家 Terry Pratchett 列名 Knighthood,以表彰他对文学的贡献。所以以后都要称呼他 Sir Terry Pratchett 了。
Terry Pratchett, whose Discworld novels have won him legions of fans, said he was "flabbergasted" to receive a knighthood.
"There are times when phrases such as 'totally astonished' just don't do the job. I am of course delighted and honoured and, needless to say, flabbergasted," said the author, who has sold more than 55m books worldwide.
Last year the 60-year-old announced that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, an affliction he described as an "embuggerance". He has since campaigned to raise awareness of the disease.
在此恭喜他!Sir Terry Pratchett !

我一直以为骑士是骑马拿剑的呢~
不管用笔还是使剑
祝贺!祝贺! 笔胜于剑——仅当笔很大而剑已经废除的时候。
普爷爷亲自实践了这句话呀>///< 以后就叫普爵爷好了 牛顿也是骑士的 好像牛顿也是骑士?我是从《达芬奇密码》里看来的。。。
======================================================
居然同时?顺便问问: sir 跟 lord 有什么分别?都什么时候用? Lord是勋爵,地位大致在骑士之上男爵之下。
仔细看了一下,普爷爷受封的是“Knight Bachelor”即“下级勋位爵士”。
sir是受封“下级勋位爵士”的人在姓名前加的头衔。Knight Bachelor是英国最古老的一种骑士,一般授予对社会事业有贡献之人士,下级勋位爵士均可在自己的名字前加上“Sir”的头衔。(比如Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ,1902年受封) 原帖由 不圆的珍珠 于 2009-1-5 09:07 发表 http://www.odyguild.org/BBS/images/common/back.gif
