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 !
