door 門也,今日在 Financial Times 的 lex 專欄 Citi Pacific,看見一個十分令人痛快的用法。

……replaces both Mr Yung and managing director Henry Fan, also shown the door this week……

唔使查字典,都知道Henry Fan 被請離場的意思啦。哈哈哈哈

今期 economist Global insurance – The next domino? 講到保險監管當局:

….Throughout all this, solvency regulators on both sides of the Atlantic have maintained a monastic calm. But market confidence in their judgments has ebbed. …..

  • monastic – Monastic means relating to monks or to a monastery
  • 咁樣形容有關當局,真係串串地而又夠生動。

    今日FT Lex 講 China’s global elite

    講中國的大企業,己經在世界十大市值穩佔三位,其中講工商銀行

    Thus dual-listed ICBC, worth $180bn based on its Shanghai price (over 70 per cent of the bank is held by the Chinese government), can now buy HSBC twice over and still have enough change for several of the biggest American banks.

    認真過癮。
