香港大學英文水平的低落繼續叫人吃驚。金庸（查良鏞）離世，港大以校長張翔的名義發悼文，寫道：「A monument to the importance of Humanities and Art, HKU was privileged to have benefited from the legend himself when he served as Honorary Professor of the School of Chinese in the Faculty of Arts.」

金庸與港大的關係匪淺。早在八十年代，他已在港大設立「查良鏞學術基金」；其後獲港大頒授榮譽博士學位，並擔任文學院中文學院榮譽教授。他死後，中文學院發的悼詞形容他對社會及港大的貢獻「長存不朽，流芳百世」。

校長的悼文當然也是志在歌功頌德，但這樣寫英文，卻變成了厚顏的自誇。將以上一句話譯為中文，意思只能夠是：「香港大學是樹立藝術與人文學科價值的豐碑，巍然屹立；在其（金庸）出任文學院中文學院榮譽教授期間得到他的惠澤，港大深感榮幸。」

這是最差勁的詞不達意——奉承和恭維變成自吹自擂。在別人的喪禮上吹自己的喇叭（blow one's own trumpet at other's funeral），如此失禮，香港的最高學府就不怕令它的師生、教職員和校友蒙羞嗎？

在港大圖書館可以找到的權威英文寫作指南《風格的要素》（The Elements of Style）說得一點也不含糊，展開句子的分詞片語，只可用作形容這句句子的文法主語（A participal phrase at the beginning of a sentence must refer to the grammatical subject）。換句話說，悼文要不貽笑大方，必須改寫成：「A monument to the importance of Humanities and Art, he served as Honorary Professor of the School of Chinese in the Faculty of Arts. HKU was privileged to have benefited from the legend himself.」//

Taiwanese Government Sparks Hunger Strike After Rejecting Signatures For Pro-Nuclear Referendum

This is urgent — please share!
——————————

The Taiwanese government is being accused of violating election law after rejecting more than 24,000 signatures gathered by the former president and environmentalists seeking a popular vote on nuclear energy this November.

“I am not asking people to support nuclear power,” said a Shih-Hsiu Huang, 31, the co-founder of Nuclear Myth-Busters, who began a hunger strike in front of the government Central Election Commission (CEC) last Thursday after it rejected the signatures. “I am asking the Taiwanese government to let the people choose.”

In August, Taiwan’s former president, Ma Ying-jeou, endorsed the referendum and joined pro-nuclear environmentalists in the streets of Taipei to gather signatures, drawing new support for the initiative and triggering widespread media coverage.

"Opposing nuclear energy is now an outdated trend," Ma said. "What has become a trend is how to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide to tackle global warming."

The referendum on nuclear power could still qualify for the ballot. Organizers say they had delivered 315,000 signatures on September 6 — more than the 282,000 that the law required.

But the activists say that their odds declined when the government rejected an additional 24,000 signatures that they attempted to deliver on September 13.

“This is malfeasance,” said Tsung-Kuang Yeh, a professor of nuclear engineering at National Tsing Hua University. “First, they kept moving up the deadline — from September 14 to September 10 and then to September 6. Then, they rejected our signatures on September 13.”

Organizers say they delivered additional signatures to increase their chance of qualifying and were rejected on a technicality.

In a statement, the government commission said, “There is very little flexibility in each stage. To follow this stage-by-stage procedure, it is therefore not possible for the CEC to accept a second submittal.”

But Huang says a representative of the government told him by phone, which he video-recorded, on September 12, that she would accept the group’s additional signatures, and even told him which door in the building to enter in order to meet her.

“Twenty-four hours later the CEC changed its mind and slammed the door on us,” said Professor Yeh.

Huang said their signature-gathering benefited from widespread opposition to the current anti-nuclear government. With an approval rating of just 33% , President Tsai Ing-wen saw her popularity decline when half of all households suffered electricity outages last summer due, in part, to the nuclear phase-out.

The rejection of signatures wasn’t the first time Taiwan’s government took actions which the pro-nuclear activists say were designed to thwart their efforts.

Taiwanese law requires that petitioners have at least six months to gather signatures after delivering an initial 2,000 signatures in order to gain permission for the larger signature-gathering effort.

Though they delivered the initial signatures in March, the government only allowed signature-gathering to begin in July.

Solar & wind provide less than 5% of Taiwan’s electricity despite years of large government subsidies.EP

Nuclear power in Taiwan derives its support from environmentalists concerned about land use and climate change and from those concerned about the island-nation’s heavy dependence on energy imports. Taiwan imports 97% of its energy from abroad.

Solar and wind combined provide less than five percent of Taiwan’s electricity last year despite years of heavy government subsidies, while nuclear energy provided 13 percent — and would have provided 23% had Taiwan been operating all of its reactors.

Earlier this year the Tsai government approved a new coal plant, despite recent reports documenting 1,000 premature deaths annually from air pollution from Taiwanese coal plants.

Last October, the climate scientist James Hansen and dozens of other leading environmental scientists and scholars urged President Tsai (致蔡英文總統公開信中文翻譯) to return to nuclear. “Taiwan would need to build 617 solar farms the size of its largest proposed solar farm at a cost of $71 billion just to replace its nuclear reactors.”

Tuesday marks the 125th hour mark of the fast, and Yeh said Huang is becoming fatigued from lack of food. Another pro-nuclear leader, Yen-Peng Liao, said he would continue the fast if Huang is hospitalized.

“This hunger strike is not for myself and not for the public referendum,” said Huang, “it is for the democracy and the order of law in Taiwan.”
